Topic: What Game(s) are You Currently Playing?

Just started Q.U.B.E. 10th Anniversary which comes with a directors cut that adds in a storyline (weird little radio broadcasting voice acting between areas). I do love a first person puzzler though and so far some of the puzzles have been fun

@Bunkerneath
I played through Q.U.B.E. 2 back when I got the Super Rare Games physical, and I've been curious to try the original since I got the LRG physical for that too.

Myself, I've been playing through Hatch Tales. It shouldn't have taken 6 years for the Kickstarter campaign to deliver something, but I ended up enjoying it well enough like when I played Chicken Wiggle on the 3DS. The later stages do get pretty tough and demand you play competently, but I had a few nitpicks like with it not saying upfront you have a time limit because you can easily overlook the small timer in the corner, and there's no ticking clock sound effect to alert you. There's also that enemies can remain active when they're on different screens, so you can take unexpected hits after a screen transition.

@RupeeClock This is the physical from Limited Run, and I only got it because I played the physical of the second one which I got from Super Rare Games

Began playing Core Keeper over the weekend. Sheesh, what have I gotten myself into? This game is basically a top-down Terraria. Dangerous. I blink...and before I know it I spent a dozen hours in resource gathering, crafting, and survival bliss.

This is one of those 100 hour plus kind of experiences and I'm here for it.

Kingdom Hearts 3 really is a great game for the Christmas season. It is magical, fun and full of good vibes.

I love the Toy Story level. The developers must have had a great time, developing the game.

I just started Antonblast. I'm already having a great time.

@Jhena I like Kingdom Hearts 3. It still probably prefer the first two but the game has the best exploration and world design in the series, hands down

@SplatRay001
I like how the game feels more lighthearted than the rest, but I love every Kingdom Hearts I played in its own way.

Lately been playing Modern Combat Blackout, just to scratch that online multiplayer FPS itch. Thinking about going back to playing Princess Peach Showtime, especially after seeing it nominated for Best Family Game at the Game Awards (yes, I voted for it too). On the PC side of things, I want to play Jagged Alliance again, maybe I'll do that this week.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Near the endgame now after taking a half voluntary, half involuntary long hiatus from the game; I've had it since launch. I'm trying to wrap up the collectibles before heading off to the final dungeon. So far EoW has been a fun game. It isn't in my Zelda top five due to a couple issues, but the game is worthy of the series.

Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind (Switch) - Started this short VN over the weekend. I'm already on Chapter 7 out of 11 (plus the prologue). A prequel to The Missing Heir, and definitely on the creepier side. I already have a couple guesses about what's going on, but I'm expecting this to throw a couple twists my way that I won't see coming.

Still playing Mario & Luigi: Brothership. I think I'm in the homestretch, without spoiling anything. Also been playing Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete. Got my save data transferred too, so everything's OK on my end. It's like Pocket Camp never left... it's my favorite Nintendo mobile game so I'm glad I got to keep it.

Holy moly! I am in the third big level in Kingdom Hearts III and I already had around 10 black screens. Maybe I should drop the game and replay the first one.

Played Princess Peach Showtime the other day and actually managed to get all the sparkle gems for on all four levels of first floor. Getting some of these sparkle gems can be tricky and well hidden too.

Playing Kingdom Hearts I after III reminded me again, that gaming moved on quite a bit over the years. I still love the game but I have alot more fun with III, so I tried re-installing it and it seems like it works for now.

Kingdom Hearts III is so fine. I just want to spend my time with it and enjoy it.

Maybe watching old games and playing new ones is more my style.

Still grinding through mario and luigi. Also started up DK Land 3 since I never finished that game from the GB trilogy.

Also, this might be the wrong thread to toss out this hot take, but it's mind boggling to me how much more enjoyable the DK land games are compared to the Rare N64 platformers. Granted, the country games were top tier too, so the ground work was already there but still. I'd pick those 3 GB games over the N64 rare games any day of the week. I do however love me some goldeneye though. And Diddy kong racing.

Infinity Nikki. Semi addicted. Super pretty and fun platforming and exploration and activities. It's funny to see all the BotW like aspects thrown into a fashion game but since the lead developer was one of the BotW directors I suppose it makes sense.

The game also has one of the cutest dungeon bosses ever:

It has cute eye shadow as well but you can't see in that picture.

I'm just finished playing antonblast on my pc (fantastic game by the way, you should definitely play it) so I'll probably continue my first playthrough of R&C: going commando and start playing red dead redemption on my ps3. Just one of the many games in my ps3 discovery journey..

Went back to my Xbox and decided to play Overwatch 2 again and tried out some of the new characters in the testing grounds since I haven’t played Overwatch in a year. I remember talking a bit on another thread about how much I lost interest in this game, but I am kinda bored and wanted to play online again, plus Overwatch was one of my favorite games in the past. I liked the heroes I tried out (being Juno and Venture) and the gameplay was still fun, but unfortunately just now my stupid internet is giving me issues so I have to wait a bit more till I can play an online match. Such unfortunate timing…

Later, I’m also going to try out Marvel Rivals. I heard it’s an Overwatch-esque shooter, and I’ve seen my brother play it a bit. It looks super fun and I can’t wait to try that out.

EDIT: Been playing a few matches in Overwatch and have been losing so far lol. I used to do so well playing as healers, but now I kind of stink and I swapped to using D.va since I’m far more used to playing as her. However, I’m actually kind of not having fun with the game, not because I lost a bunch since I actually had fun playing anyway, but it’s that my internet has been such crud sometimes; it has been so BAD. I only got 3-4 matches in but the game disconnected me from matches maybe once or twice! The internet is swapping on and off and it made it look like I disconnected intentionally so I got suspended for a minute, and it’s really annoying me because it makes it appear as if I rage quitted or that I’m a bad teammate. It’s another reason I don’t play online games anymore; you kind of take a gamble with online play if your internet is bad, and it will repeatedly disconnect you so many times and ruin your fun. I think I’m going to finish playing soon because this has been such an unfun gaming night.

EDIT 2: Internet has surprisingly been running smoothly! Won a match a few minutes ago playing as Ashe and got POTG! I’m happy I’m still good at maining Ashe, she’s so fun to play as. I am also getting the hang of Juno and also won a few matches as her. She might become one of my favorite heroes to play as.

As mentioned, I wanted to play Jagged Alliance, and did so this past weekend. Cleared a few sectors. Within the year of playing this one, I found myself getting better at playing turn-based strategy games like this one. Found myself using plants, trees, and buildings for cover from the enemy. Glad I discovered this one (and its standalone expansion, Deadly Games) on GOG, I like playing PC games I missed out on being someone who had a Mac when I was a kid.

I switched back to Kingdom Hearts I and felt the difference again. The soul of I is so much better than III. Only the battles need a little time to get used to, after conveniently being able to hit enemies, who are like five meters away in Kingdom Hearts III, instead of sometimes even missing when the enemy is right in front of you in Kingdom Hearts I.
