Discussion What are you currently playing? (Week 37 of 2026)

[Cacher]

New week, new thread! What are you playing?

I finished Case 2 of Ace Attorney Investigations 2. The highlight of this case is not the case itself but Miles Edgeworth's character development. It's quite good.

Also restarted Assassin's Creed Origins. Being a game released in 2017, obviously you can find blurry texture and weird animations in this console version of the game, but it still looks gorgeous in my eyes. Gameplay is standard AC with RPG elements. I'm enjoying it a lot.

Last but not least, there is a Girls' Frontline 1-esque event in Girls' Frontline 2. Strategy part is fun to play but the combats are very time-consuming. The enemies are simply too tanky. Not cool at all.

Currently playing:

• Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker with a friend - we're at the endgame stuff now
• Orbitals with my partner - this game is something else, an actual visual treat
• Stray - about to play this for the third time as it's one of my favourites

More Reverse Collapse, I like that every time i reload the game it gives me a recap of what's going on. I don't like that after completing a mission it throws me into long cutscenes without the ability to save.

Just finished a replay of MGS 2.
Onto Snake Eater now

I wanted to play something different this week, and somehow the choice ended up being a game/genre I was always interested in but never played so far, the so called Paradox Grand Strategy
Since I had the game all DLCs from somewhere I forgot about (an Humble Bundle maybe) I picked Crusader Kings II. I just want to try it a bit, nothing serious after all it's the first time I'm playing a game like this

Oh no

I've been playing Mina the Hollower.
The gameplay is great.
Regarding the presentation, I'm torn between admiration for just how careful they are about doing everything in precisely the way the hardware they are inspired by would allow, and annoyance at the fact that I'm pretty sure that they could make the game look quite a bit better in some aspects rather easily (perhaps even by doing less work). In any case though, it's much better than games that randomly make some parts pixelated (frequently with variably sized pixels) and call that retro.
