I came back to Cyberpunk 2077 recently. First time touching the game since the 2.0 update and I have to say I’m a bit mixed on the changes (I actually reinstalled the legacy version to make sure I’m not just misremembering things).
I’ll probably post a longer write up once I’m done with my playthrough (or at least do more testing and comparison between both version) but for now my main takeaway is this: I like the new content and all the technical improvements, gameplay, while better from a design and balance perspective, lost some of the fun for me in the process. It’s still a great title and I enjoy it quite a bit but yeah… I miss some of the old unbalanced jank of a game we had before.
Finished persona 5 Royale last month, so I’m playing persona 4 golden right now. The story is interesting so far but the gameplay doesnt hold up that well IMO ( compared to p5r at least).
Factorio with its latest expansion is really good
I’ve started playing satisfactory.
That was a mistake…
I started and almost finished The Forgotten City. It’s really good, if you like mystery.
Rainworld is a masterpiece
Battlefield 2042 (xbox series s), Danmaku Unlimited 3 (steam), Ketsui Deathtiny (ps4), and eFootball (android/xbox and f2p, though I’m not sure that one is in the right place here).
Judgement, it’s made by the same people who me see the Yakuza, Like a Dragon series. It takes place in the same seeing with the same family philosophy. It’s currently on a70% of sale on stem so I got that and it’s sequel with DLC for like $30.
Wz2100. I go between that and zero-k.
I’ve been playing the Ballionaire demo, which is pretty damn fun.
The hordes of hel demo. Well polished reverse bullet hell, but maybe too well polished for the Devs to match the level of content of something like vampire survivors. But the mechanics are crisp and it’s really fun.
Help, the Factorio expansion has taken hold of me and will not let go!
No cure has been found yet for factorio.
The only cure is to burn out the addiction with more factory.
I’ve found the perfect method to take a break from Factorio is to apply Satisfactory and a dash of Techtonica.
I say break, because there’s no stopping Factorio. I’m afraid it’s chronic.
How is it?
So far, it’s been really great. I’m still on the first planet, but they’ve added a lot of QoL to improve the experience!
It’s more better lol
Seriously though it’s really well thought out actually. Each planet has unique challenges you will have to deal with and it’s clear they put a lot of effort into designing these challenges and their solutions. Each planet grants new features that give you options you wouldn’t otherwise have to help solve other problems. Lots of quality of life changes and an ever-improving user experience.
It won’t win over people who didn’t like Factorio but fans of the game will get more of what they love.
NetHack 3.6.7
I’ve started Cyberpunk 2077 recently. Runs pretty flawlessly now with patch 2.x, I’m glad that I waited a few years
I played it for a bit about a year after it first came out and thought it was fun but it didn’t grab me. Lately I’ve been watching a lot of sci-fi movies and have an itch to try cyberpunk again. I’m glad to hear it runs well, that gives me hope
Caves of Qud
I cannot recommend it enough
I’ve been waiting forever for this to get a real price cut but instead it just got 50% more expensive. I guess I will just have to be patient for another decade.
Apparently its still in early access until next year. Didn’t even know that until yesterday. So dont hold your breath it will be a bit. I got it as a gift for Christmas forever ago and am just now coming back to it. Dont play the regular mode first, play role playing so you can save your character until you know what you’re doing. You will die.
