What are y’all playing? I started Silent Hill F. After about 8 hours in I think I’m going to put it down for now. The combat was a huge slog for me and was just not really enjoying my time with it :/

I’m moving on to “dying light: the beast” now. It’s been fun! Good game to turn my brain off to

    After 20 hours of manually placed footsteps… Baby Steps is complete! Probably one of my favorite games this year, the story was thin but the writing was hilarious and kept me climbing to reach the next cutscene. The credits screen shows a dotted line of your path as you went and, since I played with my partner, we were constantly laughing as the dot rolled down hills and reminded us of our tumbles. If you have patience and are okay with occasional immature humor it’s worth a play. I thought the ending was perfect for what the game was.

    I also finished Sniper Elite V2, it was good but showed its age. The new games were still too expensive so I got the Zombie Army Trilogy (an offshoot of the Sniper Elite series) for $5 as the autumn sale ended and have been having fun kicking skeletons apart

    What’s Dying Light like? I played the first a bit and had fun, but haven’t been following the series lately

      I really like dying light! The first game is one of my favorite zombie games. Above average open world game imo. Dying light 2 is decent but not as fun as the first imo. The beast so far has been really fun though. None of the games are anything too special, but the combat and parkour are pretty satisfying

        Is it still mostly melee combat? Games with good melee are tough to come by, and I remember the first being pretty good with all the running and jumping

        I’ll add it to my wishlist!

          Yeah definitely mostly melee. The way enemies respond to hits in different parts of their body is suuuuper satisfying haha. There are guns and bows and arrows but ammo is pretty sparse
