The "What are you playing now?" Thread

Wow, how many hours did it take to platinum Hades? Just beating the main story took me quite awhile.

I also can't wait for Resident Evil 4. Given how great the remasters for RE2 and RE3 were, I am expecting RE4 to be fantastic.

Also looking forward to the LOTR games coming out this year and next as I'm a big LOTR nerd.

Lately just been playing a bit of Halo Infinite, Rocket League, and Vanguard/Warzone.

Probably 100 or so? It got a lot easier once I finally got my first clear.

Did you use the multipliers after beating it once? I love the game, play it on the switch, but once the added difficulty made it more of a challenge. I think it took me 35-40 tries until I beat it once.

Yeah, to get platinum you’ve gotta beat it at 16 heat at least once.

Trying to finish up Halo so I can jump to Horizon FW and Elden Ring full time. Just getting to 10pm with energy to play games is a challenge though.

This is sooo true. I could've played last night, but I chose sleep

Fucking TMNT: Shredders Revenge drops on the 16th. Day 1 Game Pass game. From the same developers that did Streets of Rage 4. 6 player co-op sidescrolling brawler. Cannot fucking wait.

Addicted to Dead Cells... so yeah.

Same boat.

I've been on a roguelike kick lately - Hades, Dead Cells, Monster Train, StS (even though those last two are deck builders)...

Anyone have suggestions on some other good ones? Was thinking of giving Enter the Gungeon another go, as I haven't played it in years, but definitely open to looking at some new games - preferably ones that are either cheap or included in Xbox Game Pass.

Loop Hero isn't bad, and you can be done with it rather quickly.

Still nothing contends with Slay the Spire.

If you never played FTL or Into the Breach, pick them both up.

Have you played Darkest Dungeon? I’m not a big fan of the changes they made in the sequel but the original is awesome.

I keep dying from stupid stuff on Dead Cells. I always take the cursed chests because i'm greedy..even if my man is super op. my concentration issues are a killer in this game.

Steam Summer Sale is here... so I have of course bought multiple new games when I have a dozen other games in my library I haven't gotten to. New purchases include For the King, Slay the Spire, Civ. 6., and Guardians of the Galaxy.

I just finished my second playthrough of Xcom2. I had never played until recently and flew through it twice. Probably going to get the new Warhammer 40k game which is very similar in play style to Xcom.

Two levels into Stray, and I’m really glad it’s a free game through the middle PS level.
