I'm currently plowing through Pokemon Violet DLC. Ended up buying the game about a month ago and I'm blown away by the amount of content there is in the DLC. It's so satisfying and so much fun filling out different Pokedexes! I'm considering trying to build a competitive team and try playing online for the first time.

On my commute I play Kairosoft latest game, Pro Wrestling Story. I think it's a bit on the easier side amongst their games but the gameplay loop is so satisfying and the spritework done for the characters have so much more work put into them comapred to earlier games, so I'm still having a lot of fun with it.

Been catching up with new games.

Beat Space Marine 2 on PC and am now doing the co-op missions with a friend online. The game was a visual FEAST of grimdark fun. I do wish there was more variety of missions though graphically. Story was a little weaker than Space Marine but it's not really about story. It's all about spectacle.

Started Metaphor. I'm a huge Shin Megami guy. Also love Persona so I'm very happy so far! Was stoked to be able to buy the physical collector's edition for PC/Steam.

Also playing Dragon Quest Monsters on the Steam Deck.

Deadlock owns my multiplayer time.

Retro-wise I'm doing some casual run throughs of Turbo CD games for the retro achievements.

I just installed ONI (2001) on my PC so I'll try that. I saw a Youtube video about it's combat system and it fascinated me so I'm waiting for my pizza before I start playing.

Did you know a sequel for that was in development? It never got released sadly, and that's a huge shame because it was quite an ambitious project. It really had the potential to be something special.

I began playing Final Fantasy XII - Zodiac Age again. I never finished this version.
I'm honestly disappointed that unlike X International, this doesn't give you an option for the original License Board. I know the mod BTW.
Overall, the job system is disappointing [in general], and in this game they couldn't even give us costume changes to reflect them. That's like the only good thing about that system! I wish that weapons were shared between jobs more often. Like the only class that can use swords from the beginning is Knight. And my Vaan had to stick to his starting weapon all the way through Barheim.

 

[Waffles]

I recently tried Postal 1 on Android.

I first I found the touch controls to be atrocious (and to the point where I couldn't even beat the first level), then I understood what the devs wanted me to do with those and it became a blast... literally.

 

[demons-souls]

Drakengard 3. Hugely disappointed with the lack of Ending E.

 

[nachito]

Just started playing The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero.
I want to play every Falcom game released on steam.

 

[Nostalgia]

atm im playing modded GTA san andreas and vice city

 

[dropsmegamega]

I am finally finishing Baldur's Gate 3 (started it in July) and also started playing a few short ps1 games on my anbernic, Ancient Roman and Juggernaut.

 

[Yukyon]

Overwatch 2 for a while.... on an Xbox Series S, good fun, seems to be fairly balanced at them moment, matchmaking can be awful at times, and I have comms disabled since people can´t seem to be nice

Other than that, I just got into Forza Horizon 5. I'm not really a racing game kind of person, but I really like it, driving is fun, the weekly objectives are rewarding but I think that most of all, I just love the map, I may be extremelly biased, but I love driving and seeing sports I have been to in real life recreated so faithfully in the game

 

[moonbits]

I just got Metaphor Re: Fantazio, its great.

 

[VampireLord1024]

Tokimeki Memorial: Beneath the Tree of Legend (SNES)

 

[TerquitelDes]

I'm playing a lot Elminage Original on vita, continuing my Pokemon Crystal's adventure, playing Skyrim again, and finishing the Kingdom Hearts 2 post-game

 

[Octopus]

I legally and completely legitimately obtained Metal Slug Tactics tonight, jumped in expecting to play maybe an hour; ended up playing for almost 3. Highly recommend it, it's so far a really good 'simple but yet deep' type of gameplay that encourages moving around and making big plays rather than playing things safe.

 

[Gorse]

A Ninja Jajamaru RPG collection was on PSN for $3.50 this week, so I picked it up (along with Kill la Kill if for $2.50, schwing!) and have been playing the first game included, Ninja Jajamaru: The Ninja Skill Book. It's a standard 8-bit Famicom JRPG in the vein of Dragon Quest, and really doesn't do much different from the norm, but I don't believe I've ever beaten an NES JRPG before, so I figured this was as good as any. I actually have a small bit of fondness for the Ninja Jajamaru series – the original arcade game, Ninja-kun, is very cute and fun, and I happen to like having a JRPG with a far-Eastern influence rather than a Western fantasy one.

The game is pretty good so far, but does take some grinding. Fortunately, on @Ajderniz 's recommendation, I've been listening to MrEdders123's documentaries during each grind sesh, and it's actually very relaxing. (Those videos are great!) I like the game's art style, too, and it has a silly sense of humour that's highly appreciated. I'd really like to finish this – I'm only about 5 hours in, but I'm having lots of fun, and I look forward to what's up next.

 

[Flamebeard]

Been personally playing an older adventure game called Jack Keane. It's got charm and that nostalgic adventure atmosphere to it that I quite enjoy. It's got some jank in the movement and camera isn't the best, but I'm enjoying the ride so far.

 

[gk_ishy]

Started playing rise of the golden idol after finishing the first game(case of the golden idol). Love the games.

Terrible at deduction but i love the genre.

 

[Cu-Neo]

Started a new save file on Skyrim (PC). I am playing it as a Nord and later down the line I will start Morrowind and Oblivion as a Dunmer and a Imperial I also been playing a lot of 2D sidescrollers on PC like Cogen Sword of Rewind. It's like Mega man zero but with the rewind mechanic of the sands of time

 

[Kesolr]

Been fully hooked with Darkwood, a game that truly taps into that primordial fear of being alone in the woods at night where everything is hostile.

i was very surprised by how they handle certain stuff, only the map layout gets randomized while the objectives remain the same, it makes you always have a goal in mind while constantly throwing curveballs on each replay, its great.

 

[VampireLord1024]

Animal Crossing GameCube, as it's been several years since I last played it.

 

[JPC]

Polywar on Android, Fighting Force 2 on Dreamcast, Strider 2 (I've finished it now) on PS1, Dungeon Master Theron's Quest on Nec PC Engine.

 

[PKT]

Been doing some Super Metroid randomizer runs. Besides that been bouncing between some Castlevania games (Rondo, Bloodlines, and 3 all kicking my ass) and trying out Gunman's Proof for the SNES
