edin's contribution in the last thread:

Great photo, as always. :cat-heart-blob:
Reinstalled Oblivion on PC and PS5 to prep for Switch 2 port. Beyond that a lot of these two:

Oops my bad. Since I missed last week (I think), I was playing FF14 again to test the Switch 2 port, playing more Big Walk with a friend, resumed the Avatar fighting game, and bought JAST USA's Steins;Gate to try it out again.

I finished Grim Dawn with all expansions using the new Berserker mastery.

Also created a 5 star waterpark in Waterpark Simulator.

Now I'm giving Nine Sols another chance after retiring earlier this year.
I have to admit the world, story and level design are excellent, but the parry-based combat system isn't my favorite.
I often get hit while being convinced I parried at the right moment.

I started playing Mistfall Hunter with 2 friends yesterday.

I've never played any "extraction" games and mostly was curious about this one because (i) it looks Soulslike, (ii) it had 3 player teams, and (iii) I wanted to try one to see what the genre was like.

As a team, we've spent a lot of time playing Souls / Elden Ring / Nightreign together (and EDF), but nothing really competitive, so I frankly expected us to get stomped a few times. That will probably still happen at some point, but for now we haven't lost a single time -- and I'm really confused by the decision-making processes of many players. We haven't started a single fight with any group, but we've had duos and once even a single person going out of their way to attack our team (and not even in situations that would be advantageous to them). What exactly do these people expect would happen? Do they realize that just not fighting is an option? It's all quite confusing.

Finished Hell is Us.
It's pretty good!
There's some awkward (English?) writing in some of the conversations where it doesn't quite flow like a conversations usually do.
It's stuff like;
How are the beans?
The beans are great, I love the beans.

Repeating the noun like that instead of using pronouns in the response sounds awkward to me at least. The devs are French so maybe it's a language thing, no idea.

Anyway that's a minor nitpick.

I'm probably going to play it again (later) since I progressed the story a bit too fast and was locked out of a few sidequests and thus some achievements, it feels like I could cruise through it pretty fast now.

Finished Hell is Us late last week and have since started Steamworld Heist 2.
It's pretty good as well.

The last 2 weeks I've been playing Zenless' anniversary update. The story continues to be really strong, which is great to see.
They've also added an extraction mode of all things.
If you'd ask me back in 1.0 what sort of gameplay loop would work well in this game and also be lore-accurate, not in a million years would my answer have been: "an extraction mode, duh". But here we are, and it works crazy well.
It's actually challenging and tense, but they added the souls-like corpse run mechanic too it and the combination is somehow just the right mix of being tense while also not being super punishing.

Other than that I've been going through Tunic and am absolutely loving it.

And starting tomorrow it's Genshin 7.0 time, baby. Crazy that we're now at the "final" nation. I'm so interested in seeing where things are going.
