What are you playing right now?

Monument Valley, which is a very unique and refreshingly decent mobile puzzle game. I love the graphics and the gameplay is something I've never come across before - it utilizes your perception. If you have a platform rotated at a certain angle where it looks like it can be stepped on, Ida (your character) can move on to it. Ida's often on giant blocks with staircases and bridges that you can manipulate parts of to get her to her destination to finish the level.


The story unravels as you progress. As I understand it so for Ida is a princess who did something very naughty and needs to atone.

I only paid £3 for the game. There's a piece of DLC that costs £1.50 and that's it as far as in-game purchases go.

I was watching a modern-ish western movie the other day and realized I'd bought RDR at some point for my PS3 but never got around to playing it. So I'm planning on checking it out once it finishes redownloading. I also against my better judgment got JJBA: All Star Battle R and it's been alright so far despite the costumes and colors being a ripoff where you either grind or go through the new ASB mode for specific "secret missions" and shit.

Recently started playing Synthetik with a friend. I'm fucking robot soldiers up left and right with my riot shield. I like this game.

been replaying Hotline Miami, No More Heroes, and some Touhou in between. cant wait for the rerelease of nmh3 to come out because my switch is busted as fuck
 
Been playing the Mafia games. Finished 1 (remaster) the other day, and I'm about halfway through 2 (original).
2 is pretty based with some of its dialogue, the dangerhairs would have a fit if it came out today
Currently playing 3. It's a buggy and boring shitshow filled to the absolute fucking brim with wypipo bad.
But I'm gonna see it through.
 
ULTRAKILL. If you want a game that really tests your gaming skills, this is the game:
There is so many awesome things about this game, I cannot list them all. If you want a taste of the game without buying it, watch this video:
He plays a small portion of the game before he gets overwhelmed and quits (only issue with this game XD), but there are other popular streamers that have played a lot more of the game like Jerma and SODAPOPPIN.

Markiplier also played the game, but he only played a little bit. I think he is holding back on making a full video of the game since its not complete and because the game is "really fun."
 
Caesar III with the new Augustus mod. Definitely recommend anyone who is a fan of those games to get this one, it totally expands on the original gameplay with new content and is still far from its future goals.

Neat timing! I just recently found out that the new build of Xenia-canary runs the 360 version of RDR really well on this PC hardware, so I put some leisure hours into reliving this neat adventure after 11 years without. I still enjoyed it a lot, particularly the pretty desert scenery. The train schedules could have been better, but that's not a new complaint.

Pro tips:
  • On horseback, top cruise speed for your horse without stamina drain is one button press every 3-½ gallops or so.
  • If a "stranger in need" (blue blip on your radar) runs towards your horse and he isn't stopping, trot away from him slowly. If he keeps trying to get up close to your horse, it means he is intending to pull you off and steal it from you. Shoot & loot! There is no honor penalty for shooting these guys before they actually pull you off of the horse.

Thanks! I had a few funny moments so far while I was still learning the controls on horseback. I didn't know what button I had to press to brake/stop and kept running into carriages and bowling off of cliffs like an idiot when I tried to do quick turns.

Lol, initially I did a bit of that too. The first time I bought a warhorse I immediately went and flew it off a cliff up in the canyons.

Speaking of running into carriages, every time I see a chariot in this game I feel compelled to tip the thing over. The best strategy for that is to gallop your horse into the rear corner of the cart. Once you do it a few times you will be hooked.

Also got the new F1 2022 Manager. Let's see if I can be a better clown then the current Ferrari crew.

I'm playing No Man's Sky right now with a bit of RuneScape 3.

I found a nice paradise planet to build a base on. It has orange water, some green and brownish grasses and a sepia/pink/blue/lavender colored sky (time dependent) with green and purple fronded trees. There are also no aggressive creatures on the planet and it has no harsh weather so it's relatively safe so long as I don't pick a fight with the sentinels. I landed on the planet at night and originally hated the brown grass because it made the planet look dead but then day hit and the colors of the terrain and flora began blending together nicely. The star system's portal is also on the planet and there's an energy hotspot nearby it. I've decided to make a low orbital base right over the portal so it can serve as my central hub.

Here's a screenshot of the surface:

Back on an ARPG kick, unfortunately this happened as soon as Path of Exile got even worse because the lead devs are mentally defunct. Booted Grim Dawn back up and I have no idea what the hell my level 53 spin-to-win Shieldbreaker character was or how my brain managed to get to such a build, I just know the build is insanely good from what it seems like after trying it some more. Unfortunately I too am mentally defunct and have no idea how to progress to expansion areas or what was even going on so I'm just replaying it from the start as an Occultist and likely Shaman and just summon friends to do all the stuff for me (Seems simple enough).

Didn't take long to go through Torchlight 1 again, was rather nostalgic as it was one of the very few games my craptop could play when I was in highschool.

Its amazing how those devs still update that game despite having other projects.
 
Pokémon Heartgold for right now, the later games just aren’t doing it for me. Just beat the Cianwood gym and I’m heading over to Jasmine.
