What games have you been playing lately?

Satisfactory is good. Its a lot slower paced than most other automation games I've played, and the first person view makes it unique enough. Very relaxed game, and after 17 hours I just copped that it's leaving ea and 1.0 is dropping on Sept 10th, which changes a few things and adds a story, so stopping now and will start again when that lands.

In the meantime, Black Mesa is just under a fiver, so that should tie me over.

Satisfactory 1.0 dropped last week. Put in a story and made uses for those weird things you could collect with no use!

I'm averaging 55-60fps on the 3060, but only after seeing a video of the game I realised I'm not getting some graphical features, such as the clouds being pushed away when using the space elevator. Still looks great though even with the small bits of tearing and stuttering, but I'm only after unlocking oil so long way, and lots of moving parts, to go.

Yeah, it's actually massive, but I love it can be rushed or taken at a slow pace. Did get a sinking feeling when unlocking Tier 5/6 because it's gonna take a lot, but I'm enjoying the exploration and just letting those stacks build 4 per minute!

FFS, despite its flaws I was really enjoying Gotham Knights, log in earlier and the fcuking thing has left Gamepass. :(

Worth checking out Dwarf Fortress If you like Rimworld. It doesn’t have guns or sappers so it stops those type of base invasions, which I didn’t like in Rimworld. It’s also has multiple levels, so when you dig down it’s another whole layer. It’s more complicated than Rimworld but I think it works better.

Back on a big Grim Dawn binge again. Ahead of the expansion coming out early next year. Really is an excellent ARPG.

Levelling a Sentinel to 100, nearly there, Captain America'ing everything in sight with extra poison and acid damage. Very therapeutic.

Path of Exile 2 (early release).

Enjoyable so far, limited weapons and loot though.

I liked Epoch as well, but twice on play through I got to a certain boss ( dont think if was really deep into game) and just could not get passed, I seemed to hit a dead end. made me quit playing both times

First game of the year is Ori and the Will of the Wisps.

Finished up Dragon Age Inqusition last Friday. Finished the Descent DLC as well. Was a good game but the combat became boring toward the end. At level 17 I crafted a set of gear that lasted me the rest of the game which was a sizable chunk. The levelling is quite slow and I finished the game at level 21 so felt like a long time with no upgrades. Loot in general in the game is very poor after getting the first few initial pieces, at the end I wasn't even bothering to open chests.

Complaints aside it's a decent game, story is OK and a good range of companions to choose from.

Will most likely pick up Veilguard when it's a bit cheaper
