Can't wait to find someone who will play It Takes Two with me. As the name suggests, it takes two people to play and I am but one person. :(

[–] bratosch@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If you find someone, you should also play 'A Way Out' !

Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

Never played ME, before, but I hear it's pretty good.

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Mass Effect is really one of a kind. The first game is the most epic Space Opera that I have ever played/watched. It puts Star Wars and others to shame. They retconned shit in the 2nd and 3rd games so in my opinion the first one remains the best story-wise. But honestly, all three are great.

I am very sad that no other studios tried to do anything even remotely comparable. The closest I can think of is Starfield, which wasn't very good.

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Me too. I have the "old" versions "Mass Effect 2007", "Mass Effect 2 2010" and "Mass Effect 2 (2010) Edition" (for some reasons there are two versions of old ME2) on Steam and was about to buy Legendary Edition and finally getting started to play. But I'm not happy with the additional requirements of it, as it requires Origin client and an EA account to play this single player game. This is unacceptable to me. Old versions do not require this.

So after my research and being confused of multiple versions and if the Legendary Edition is worth it, lost interest. But ME2 is still on my list to play soon.

[–] termus@beehaw.org 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You can mod the first three to get it close to par with the Legendary edition. The improvements they made in LE on all 3 make it worth playing, but if a user account is your limit I guess not. There are a ton of mods for LE now as well.

I'm jealous of a 1st play through. It's incredible.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

That's what I keep hearing! Looking forward to a good space opera

[–] averyminya@beehaw.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

My friend loves Mass Effect, he liked the LE quite a bit.

Elden Ring.

I've bought it on sale knowing my PC can't run it. As soon as I finally update it that's the first game I'm gonna install.

Baba is you. I know the game was made by people much smarter than I am, I know I'm going to get stuck chasing a bad idea for 30+ minutes..

I have just not been feeling puzzley lately.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Baldur's Gate 2

Sadly I just can't read so much at the moment.

i have spiritfarer but my mom is on the way out and I'm waiting to play it until i need it

If you're looking for more like it, Gris is on sale for 1.50 right now on steam. Beautiful game with similar themes.

[–] t3rmit3@beehaw.org 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Main backlog I actually want to play currently:

If you can't tell from Isles of Adalar and Monomyth, any game that looks like a Morrowind knock-off is a high priority for me. :P

In reality though, I'll just play more Avorion and Starsector.

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 weeks ago

Do yourself a favor and stop putting off Cassette Beasts. Every time I play it, I am gobstruck that an indie team made this and sells it for a fraction of the price of whatever mediocrity Pokemon is pumping out.

I could sing it's praises all day, but I'd rather just politely nudge you to push it up the list.

[–] sylveon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

My backlog and my library are huge so I'll choose a few (in no particular order):

  • Baldur's Gate 3
  • Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood
  • Inscryption
  • Hades
  • Hollow Knight
  • Outer Wilds DLC (I've been putting it off because it's supposedly scary)
  • Stray
  • Little Kitty, Big City
  • Monster Train
  • Moonstone Island
[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's worth noting that the "scary" parts of the Outer Wilds DLC (are very mild, and) are not mandatory. That is to say, for the most part, if you find solving a part of the game too stressful, try approaching it differently.

I loved the base game and DLC. Should be the top of any backlog IMO.

Animal well and wingspan. I think there are others too, despite trying hard to keep stuff in my wishlist instead of backlog.

Mostly my backlog comes from starting a game and then getting distracted by something else.

[–] autumn@beehaw.org 6 points 3 weeks ago

wingspan

i love both the physical and digital versions of this game. 🕊️

Return of the obra dinn

I feel like it's a game to be played in one long go, so I'm waiting for the right time.

[–] drmoodmood@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

Pacific Drive for me! Played the demo and it seemed a pretty chill scavenging and driving game. I'll get to it once I'm done with The Outer Worlds and its DLC.

[–] Drathro@dormi.zone 5 points 3 weeks ago

Remnant 2. Gotta finish Cyberpunk 2077 (again) first though. The damn DLC adding extra achievements has thrown everything off!

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

Looked through all of my games on Steam Deck and forgot I had a few. None of them I can't say I'm really interested in right now, but I'm somewhat excited about Psychonauts because I've heard good things about it.

[–] LittleTarsier@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

Frog Detective 3! I absolutely loved Frog Detective 1&2 but for some reason haven't gotten around to 3.

[–] autumn@beehaw.org 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"what remains of edith finch" and "gone home." waiting for the right rainy day to play them.

Sekiro. Friends tell me it's one of the harder From Software games so I'm looking forward to die many times.

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Horizon Zero Dawn, Planet of Lana

[–] ninjaphysics@beehaw.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

When you get around to HZD, the DLC Frozen Wilds and Horizon: Forbidden West are highly recommended. I'm halfway through the second and it's so amazing.

So many... My backlog is big but I've been trying to work my way through it. Currently on my mind though is octopath 2, Grime, Ghost trick, Talos principal, and the trails games

[–] Varyag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

There's way too much stuff in there, but as of right now I think it's Mechanicus, and the Serious Sam HD remasters, thanks to a recommendation in another thread just now. I also have a couple interesting demos I downloaded. The problem is, I haven't played anything from my Steam at all in the past month or so. Everything I've been gaming has been outside of it.

Also hilariously, these Serious Sam games were the literal first games I bought when I created my Steam account and I never played through them. They were an impulse buy from a friend's recommendation back in the day but I wasn't as into boomer shooters as I am now.

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A good chunk of the 3DS library. So many titles I haven't gotten around to yet.

I need to eventually finish monster hunter iceborne and then play Rise! I have a feeling I'll probably end up just jumping to wilds though. It'll probably be hard to go back to older titles when that game releases.

The Yakuza series! I have only finished zero, 1 & 2. They release them faster than I'm getting to them lol.

[–] Ashen44@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Monster hunter mentioned!

I really want to tell you to give rise a try because the sunbreak expansion is absolute peak monster hunter, but I agree that february 28th release date is creeping up way too fast...

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

I want to try it so badly! I loved that they leaned into the Japanese themes and imagery, too. I think I'll definitely have to make some time to play it.

I want to also play persona 3 for the first time, but it's like 100 hours or so, and I look at that number and think, "That'll take me 6 months to finish." Haha maybe I'll hermit myself inside the house this winter and smash it out in half that time

Half Life Alyx

Metal Gear Solid V >:)

I bought that game day one, actually played like the first 4 missions, thought to myself "Wow, this is going to be incredible! I should wait until I have a loong weekend, hehe~", and then never touched it again.

I am glacially making my way through the first 4 now, though.

Planescape: Torment

Waiting to get a better eyeglass prescription so I can read the tiny text

[–] dillekant@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I've given up. I'm going to just keep adding to wishlist and nibble on a new one every now and then.

[–] Icarus@beehaw.org 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I feel this. In some ways it was a relief discovering that I didn't need to keep up with gaming anymore. I would just play what I want want to play, when. But unfortunately I've missed (or even forgotten) about a lot of games I really wanted to play.

[–] dillekant@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

I keep mine in an ever growing wishlist, which I never get back to, but it stops me from feeling like I forgot anything.
