Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 12th

What are you all playing! I beat thousand year door! Really amazing game. I understand why it is so beloved.

I also started and am almost done with the original fallout. Probably the 20th time I've tried to get into it and I was actually able to this time! Once I'm done with that I want to start Animal Well

  • I was persuaded to pick Elden Ring back up despite not really feeling a pull for it, but lo and behold once I was back in I fell in deep. I never actually finished the game with my first dex/bleed-based character, so I continued making my way through Crumbling Farum Azula. I've given Malekith a couple of attempts but I'm pretty burned out on bosses at the moment. I started up a new sorcery-based character and that's been the real joy. Magic really does make the game significantly easier, and part of me wishes I'd done my first playthrough this way. But I'd beaten Demon's Souls remake not too long before starting Elden Ring originally and wanted something different.

    To fall back on when I get too frustrated, I've been playing 10tons's Undead Horde. Their game Dysmantle wound up being a major highlight the year that I played it (I really, really liked it), so I finally bought Undead Horde 1 and 2. It's not nearly as good as Dysmantle, but it's a really great, lightweight dungeon crawler. I like their vibe very much and am really looking forward to Dysplaced.

    I also gave the Saints Row reboot a try since it was free a while back on PS+ and it's really, really (really) dumb. It's also kind of fun, a little at a time. Not sure it'll hold my interest all the way through but it's nice having an open world game that's just...easy to play and asks very little of the player.
