Whatcha all playing?

I've got a few on my list this week.

Ufo 50 continues to be one of my favorite purchases in a long time. It's the best collection of games since the orange box imo.

The new Zelda has also been stellar. The frame rate issues are certainly unfortunate, and it may be worth it for some to wait on a more powerful switch 2 to play this title, but I highly recommend checking it out at some point. The game is really creative and the Hyrule you get to explore is super fun imo.

I want to get back to the plucky squire, but these games have kept me busy unfortunately

I tried darkwood this weekend, and it's left me torn. I really enjoy certain aspects about it, but I feel like the pacing is weird.

I finished Still wakes the deep the other day and I thought it was ok. It was an interesting environment to explore, but I didn't think it was all too scary.

I'm off to find a different horror game to play now.

What's up with Darkwood's popularity recently? I know Pyrocynical made a video about a week ago, but I started it before that, because of a friend recommended it to me like a month ago. And I think I saw it mentioned elsewhere somehere inbetween too.

I generally don't play horror games, so Darkwood scares me enough that I only play for maybe half an hour during daytime. Might take a month to get through.

My guess is that people are getting into the Halloween Spooky vibes already! But otherwise, I don't know. Darkwood was free on Xbox games with gold a long time ago, and I snagged it then, but I just never got around to it until now

LOOOOVED darkwood! It took me a bit to get a feeling for the game, but after I got my daily rhythm I found the gameplay satisfying, tense, and occasionally scary.
