Discussion What are you currently playing? (Week 49 of 2024)

[Cacher]

New week, new thread! What are you playing?

Continuing Assassin's Creed Origin. I like that there are proper boss fights, despite being very easy, they are great change of the AC formula. On the other hand, the tomb exploration is also good. The pyramids are especially fun with interesting level design. Overall still very enjoyable. Being someone who easily gets burn-out, the game manages to stay fun and interesting.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla, currently doing the Siege of Paris DLC. Almost done with that I think, then on to Dawn of Ragnarok DLC.

Also Rise of the Golden Idol.

Corepunk - I've been enjoying the game so far. It's a lot harder than a lot of MMOs since there's no hand holding and you aren't really told where exactly quest objectives are. Dialogue is a bit edgy. And the installation is a bit weird. You have to download a zip file and there is no .exe.

Escape from Tarkov - Resetted my profile and going to play a little for the upcoming wipe and next major update later in the month.

Dark and Darker - Going to play a little before next wipe and major update later in the month.

Gray Zone Warfare - Just had a major update and want to put some time in it.

Not much to be honest!
Most of my entertainment time was still reading (mostly Girls' Frontline story).
And I didn't really want to commit to starting anything new since next week I'll be trying both Girls' Frontline 2 and Infinity Nikki.
So I mostly did catch up on Genshin and Zenless stuff.
One of the new subareas in Genshin is just crazy, my jaw dropped multiple times. I dunno how they still keep surprising me after 4 years.

Though I did take a little peek into Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep and my first reaction is that it seems I'm really not fond of the convoluted progression systems these non-numbered games keep introducing...

On the last chapter of Wukong which is the most pleasant surprise of the year. I'm not going to pretend like I know what's going on, but I love the Chinese mythology. There are these anime movies that play at the end of each chapter that are visual treats and the whole thing has a vibe where you know the devs were really passionate about it. There are also some really good boss fights including some that are just as good as anything From has put out

I'm planning to play Red Dead Redemption afterwards.

I've also dipped my toes into other things like Helldivers 2, Total War Warhammer 3 and UFO 50, but I haven't committed much time for them.

DQ3: got the ship, I'm slowly exploring the world.
SF6: went back to mostly check the new World tour content.

I just finished Time Loader and now I'm looking through my backlog trying to choose my next game.
