I just started getting into Deadlock and that was the last game I played in 2024. However, I only played for about an hour. Before that, in the same afternoon I played Foxhole for about four hours and Balatro for two.
Vacation ends the moment I put my phone down and go to sleep... It was a good time.
Edit: Ah I forgot we played Jack Box at the party I went to leading up to midnight. Does that count?
Automobilista 2 - Caterham racing around Oulton Park as the clock hit midnight.
Earlier in the evening I played the latest Mario Party and some Jackbox games with the fam.
House flipper
On gamepass, and tha fully on gamepass because od never spend actual money on that game.
I brought in the new year playing Fire Emblem: Awakening (which I've been obsessed with after finally getting it working on an emulator). I'd been struggling with lunatic mode but I figured out I can just feed Robin because of the XP boost and then use her to carry the team. Changed her to Pegasus Knight and then Dark Flier and now I can just swoop in and one-shot any enemy and she's over-levelled enough that the enemies won't prioritize her, and if they do, she dodges everything and has enough HP to survive a bow to the face.
The early levels were very challenging and I had to heavily abuse save states but once I got rolling it's been a lot smoother. The two cavaliers you start with literally can't survive a single hit starting out. Since everyone's so vulnerable, you just have to get one unit good asap to avoid relying on your Jagen.
Last game I finished was Veilguard. Pretty close to EoY. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, and the difficulty falls off a cliff as a mage when you get life steal, but it wasn't bad. The romance with Neve was entirely too... unromantic, and PG-13 though. Very disappointing. No intimacy.
Then I started CrossCode and it's been good. Feels like a mix of old snes games (Zelda, lufia2) and MMO, without the annoying parts like other players. The puzzles also aren't very hand holdy, which is nice. I feel like a lot of games are too aggressive with their "HEY IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN SLIDE THAT BRICK. HEY I BET FIRE MELTS ICE."
Gothic (2001). Still a really cool game!
Ghost of Tsushima on the PC. 90 fps (most of the time) 4K.
The gameplay is really to my taste, so I am planning on playing this one for a while.
Hollow Knight. I just killed all 3 Dreamers on my steam save. Currently trying to beat Trial of the Fool. Keep dying to the Mawleks.
Replaying Pillars of Eternity Deadfire.
Hell yeah! I'm trying to finish up the DLC I never got around to before Avowed comes out. Have you checked out the turn-based mode? I like it way better, and I'm surprised it works as well as it does.
I didn't try that. I had been so used to RtwP. I might have to try another run with turn-based!
I'm currently a mindstalker duel-wielding blunderbusses. My previous character (on my way to Ukaizo) is a Scout duel-wielding daggers. I seem to like duel-wielding hmmm
I've pre-ordered Avowed, but will probably wait until the DLC comes out... Hopefully there will be :)
Boomerang Fu. Played with the kids who enjoyed stomping their parents.
Astro Bot.
Heavily modded Risk of Rain 2, because somehow itβs still a delightful gem
A Traveller character creation session.
Just bought my self Lies Of P for Christmas. Didnt finished it yet but it was the last game ive started in 2024
I've been playing a LOT of arma 3 rpg's. So fun trying to smuggle drugs across the map before the police figure out what's going on.
Next year I'll probably move over to a larger playbase game with similar gameplay loop, maybe EVE online
Return to Moria for me. I picked it up for free from Epic recently and it's all I've played since. Going solo and I just made it to the Pilgrim Road waypoint.
