Hey, Red Team. How has your year been going? I have been playing so many games over this last few months, and many of them have been great.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has been really fun. The visuals were awesome and the frame gen was really well implimented. I have only spent about 12 hours in game but it has been pretty sweet. I enjoy adventuring in the world of Pandora. I like the movies, so that probably makes me biased. That said, I am having a pretty good time playing for an hour here or there.

Palworld blew me away with how well the game runs, and the fun that can be had catching monsters and building bases. I hardly got into the towers, only beating two, and had a blast. I spent a few days lost in this game. I found myself looking at the time, and realizing I spent hours on this game when I meant to just spend one or two.

Wayfinder didn't come out this year but has been pretty cool too. It is early access with a price tag of 20 USD, but I have put about 25 hours into the game and it feels really good to play. Admittedly I don't really know what to do beyond just questing and grinding XP. I should probably pay more attention to the story.

Dragon's Dogma 2 has been a breathe of fresh air, in that there is very little hand holding in this RPG. You do actually need to pay attention to conversations because some quests don't have markers. This isn't the best part. The best part is that you can hire friends NPC characters to help you in your journey. I have been avoiding using the "best" party members so I still get to enjoy the combat instead of just watching your party smash enemies that are supposed to be a challenge. I have a limited understanding of what is actually going on in the game but if you ignore the performance issues, this game is really a good time. 

I have played many other games, but I don't have screenshots, and many didn't come out this year. 

The list includes:

• Helldivers 2
• Apex Legends (I have 0 skill)
• Splitgate
• Chivalry 2
• Fallout 76
• Dota 2 (I'm horrible)
• Outriders
• Need For Speed Heat, and Unbound
• Battlefield 2042
• Starfield

It has been a decent chunk of time since the new year, and I have been having a really good time. What are you playing? Are there any games that just blew your mind?

Mighty Doom on my Mighty RoG phone 🤣

[cpurpe91]

Is it free?

[johnnyenglish]

It has a lot of "in-game ads (not comercial ads) to push you into buying stuff" but I'm not into it. 

I play it free free free without a single purchase. Its a single player game, I might as well take my sweet time to finish it and enjoy the slow progress.

Its funny as hell on earth. 🤣

😁

[cpurpe91]

I may have to give it a try.

[FunkZ]

I am typically a late game adopter as I wait until they are heavily discounted. And as Far Cry 6 was initially exclusive to Epic I waited until it was on Steam before I picked it up. But it certainly didn't disappoint, I own every Far Cry except Primal and I have over 120 hours in 6 alone.

I would like to pick up Starfield at some point but I also have No Man's Sky on my wishlist for some time as well. In addition to single player RPGs I also enjoy puzzle games, the last one played was House of Da Vinci 2 and I also have Islands of Insight in my queue to try next.

[Toology86]

Been playing about half the games on that list.

[mengelag]

Avatar was great! Lately though, I've been playing mostly Fortnite and Last Epoch

[Astronym]

I just picked up star wars jedi survivor great game so far. I must say it be great if they made another battlefront game.

[GreatnessRD]

Been playing...

• The Division 2
• Apex Legends
• GTA V: Online
• Hell Divers (I bought it, but haven't really played it yet)

Been a long time since I've had multiple games I've been interested in playing.

[ajlueke]

I haven't had much time to play games in the new year.  Currently I am summoning up the will to finish Red Dead Redemption 2 and Baldur's Gate 3.  I also have Ace Combat 7 on my list, as I enjoyed other entries in that series.

[redlightuser]

For the record i had played every single game of relevance released up to the Q4 of 2016 (defective GPU) and in between 50 to 100 games up until 2024. Mostly quality indies and the such. Also had various consoles growing up and played numerous ROMs on emulators.

Yup, four months it's all it took to catch up. Boooooring! xD

I'd never play the suggested games by the OP. No offense. It takes experience to achieve an acquired taste in the best things. Never tried 1440p but i can already tell i am missing big time!  

[Axxemann]

Been playing a ton of Helldivers 2 lately. 

FOR DEMOCRACY!

[urfriendcade]

Lately, I’m going through the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy from the 2010s.

[cpurpe91]

I own those games but I haven't gotten around to playing them. Do you recommend? 

[Rubeerology]

I was playing loads of Palworld on release, but haven't touched it in a month+.

Right now, I still play my main game of Rocket League, a little bit of League of Legends on the side, and have been eyeing Hades 2.

[Axxemann]

You need to start Helldiving with the rest of the cool kids. FOR DEMOCRACY.

[Rubeerology]

That's a fancy list!

we are huge fans of RE - but Resident Evil has seemed to lost some of its awe-inspiring wonder but I feel Silent HIll 2 Remastered will light the fire undre its competitors - Lately we do alot of:

Indie games provided by cd-key reviewing sites, 

Rocket League 

Outlast Trials, 

WWZ,

Vigor,

VR Titles: Ghosts of Tabor, Demeo, Breachers VR etc

The VR market is new and blooming so if you haven't considered it I must recommend!

I have reinstalled DMC 5 as you can see. Plan on embracing it with a new mindset. Thought it would have been more modern the first time i installed it is all, but i am a big fan of the franchise.

As soon as i beat Nioh, i will install Nioh 2 and Wo Long. Death Stranding is a weird game, but captivating. A sequel already ready for launch next year. I suggest you read the reviews on the Director's Cut.

I will also reinstall Elden Ring once the new DLC is released later this month. With the old save file... Honestly i didn't enjoy it. I happen to be a big souls fan. Played the first and second twice, the third once. Plan on going for a second run on the deluxe with the new DLC.

My favorite part about Elden Ring were essentially the rivers. Hated the bosses. My progression wasn't very advanced mind you, didn't even faced the first big boss. I don't consider Elden Ring a sequel by any means. Hence why it's not called dark souls 4.

[audalics]

A looot of Binding of Isaac Rebirth. Really enjoying the Repentance content. Also revisiting Forza Horizon 5 to check out some of the Hot Wheels stuff added a while back. Very fun

[cpurpe91]

Forza Horizon is a really fun more arcade style driving game. I keep putting it on the back burner, but I will eventually purchase it. The adventure side of the game is really cool.
