Juggling between Metroid Prime 4, Terminator 2D: No Fate and Routine

All great games. I'm too much of a pansy to play Routine for very long though. 🫣

Resident Evil 3 Remake. I'm not going to lie, I saw the trailer with Jill and fell in love.

I decided to pick Hogwarts Legacy back up and finish it.  Spent last night knocking out some Steam achievements but I'm basically done with everything I'm going to do with it.  I may run around a little and grind my way to level 40 so I can get that achievement but that's it.

Note: This screenshot may "say" 1080p, but it's actually 720p because I was playing on my docked Steam Deck.

I actually thoroughly enjoyed the RE remakes.  It was nice to experience a modernized take on classic games, :-)

You know when you've realised that you've missed a whole world of gaming...most of my spare time has been playing CoD/Warzone because I didn't get much time to play so it was perfect for filling those 30-40 min gaming sessions

For some reason or other, I decided to uninstall it and see what else I had on my backlog/game pass and I'm starting to fall back in love with gaming

I recently finished Mafia 1/2/3 and A Little to the Left and am about 80% through Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

With the new Fallout series coming out, I'm getting back into Fallout:Shelter and Fallout 4. My friend has started Skyrim for (basically) the first time, and since we're in the office most days and I keep looking over his shoulder as he plays that's given me the itch to jump back into that as well.

Finally got Platinum on Spiderman 2, it looks and plays fantastic on the Playstation 5 Pro, a real showcase.

I've been playing the absolute daylights out of Elden Ring.  I finally decided to pick Dark Souls Remastered back up in 2025 and fell in love, which is funny because when I first got it I got mad and quit.  After leaving the tutorial I wandered in the direction of the bell I heard ringing, found a graveyard full of skeletons and got murdered repeatedly, got mad and quit.  But for some reason I picked it back up a year later and actually quite enjoyed the game after I got my head on straight.

So anyway, after finishing DSR I decided to give "Elden Ring" a shot and I've been thoroughly enjoying myself.  I really like the open world and like Dark Souls, the combat is difficult, but rewarding.  It's not difficult in that it's unfair, it's difficult in that it doesn't pull any punches.  If you screw up, you can die just as easily from the weakest mobs in the game as you can a huge boss.  Once you press a button, you're committed to that action, you can't stop an attack mid thrust to throw up your shield, so if you time things wrong and leave yourself open, you're just gonna get hit.

The open world is actually quite a lot bigger than I expected to be honest.  Dark Souls was "open" in that you could walk everywhere basically without loading screens, but it felt like a long series of interconnected corridors where Elden Ring feels a lot more like a proper open world including everything from small caves to vast underground areas.  I've put over 100 hours in so far and I still don't have the whole map open, and it really doesn't feel like I've put that much time in to be honest.

I hated the "Souls" games on my first attempt, but I think I've actually fallen in love.  I'm also a big fan of the Elder Scrolls, partly because of its detailed lore, but it does feel nice to play a high fantasy game with a big open world, loads of lore and content that doesn't fall apart and send objects or people flying or glitching thru the floor if you look at it wrong.

You can see the screenshots I've taken of the game so far at: https://steamcommunity.com/id/gerowen/screenshots/?appid=1245620

And here's a clip of me fighting a couple of smaller dragons:

Psychonauts 2 on PS5 Pro, no idea what to expect but it looks relaxing and fun.

I'm replaying P3R on Switch 2. After the last patch Atlus released, I haven't noticed any difference between PS5 and Switch 2 while docked.

Deep Rock Galactic with the wife pretty much every night for the last three weeks  so fun!

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

Finished Indiana Jones last night. Started a bit of mindless fun with the BF6 campaign. Also picked up Dredge again on PC

AC Shadows. I bought this when it first came out, but it had a bug and kept crashing, so I returned it.I bought it again a couple of months ago, but only now had the time to actually play it. It’s a really beautiful game and feels great so far.

i also bought it, as i love the "ghost of" games and wanted more japanese surroundings.

however i got stuck in the first temple and kinda lost interest, and never got back to it.  i remembered how i got bored of all the other recent AC games... and this one looked more interesting.

i have to give it another go... i even enjoyed Mirage even though it was not the AAA entry, and i still want more japan.

This is a great game!

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

I had missed playing through a shooty campaign so played through the BF6 one. It was a decent, but short. Lots of great moments and enjoyable overall. 

Just finished of Planet of Lana yesterday on Xbox/PC. Such a simple game. Loved the puzzle mechanics, the music and art style! 

Will be replaying Limbo next as it's a similar game and them straight into Inside.

I started Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and I'll probably finish it, but instead of just focusing on the narrative it's got all these side missions to go fight creatures and do things for Chad, and the handholds for climb-able areas are painted bright yellow like almost every other modern game seems to do, the movement feels a little clunky when you're out in a field exploring, so honestly I think I'm just gonna focus on the campaign and story and call it a day.  Maybe I'm burned out from 200+ hours in Elden Ring, but I'm not sure, I started NG+ on Elden Ring and it still feels fine.  The "open world" stuff in Rebirth and item/monster collection just feels like filler content to pad out the amount of time you have to spend getting everything.  I dunno, maybe I'll feel better about it if I sit down and put some more time into it, and maybe I just need to force myself to take a break from Elden Ring for a bit so I can appreciate something that isn't a FromSoft game.

Now Platinumed, such a fantastic game, now need to think of what to play but it needs to be something that takes advantage of the new PSSR2 update on PS5 Pro.

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

Just finished of Limbo. I was playing it on Xbox and given my achievements one that I had played before. I don't remember finishing it so it was a nice chilled playthrough over a few days to get to the end. Loved the time/physics puzzles towards the end of the game. 

Just started Inside, already love it!

Giving Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown a go on PS5 Pro.

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

What a ride. Finished off Inside, loved the vibe of it and how many parallels it had to Limbo but went in a different background. 

The imagery and sounds were great! Really sucked me into the game and then ending was just strange!

Need to see what else I have in my back catalog to get stuck into! 

Any recommendations on similar games to Planet of Lana/Limbo/Inside would be appreciated!

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

Played through another short game, that had been recommended on a podcast that I listen to

and Roger on PC, first play through took me around 1 hour, but had some great storytelling and gameplay!

I'm in the final month for P3R and started to play Metaphor ReFantazio.

[SnoopZ]

Completed Ace Combat 7, loved it!

Now playing Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time and it looks fantastic, I'm told the PSSR update has really improved things on the Pro.
