All Things Video Games & Game Reviews Part II

[Gonzo]

Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.

Anyway, just a quick rundown.

Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.

Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.

Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.

Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing.

Yeah, this is where I'm at. The series has definitely been on a slow decline though.

I actually really enjoyed Andromeda. The first 3 were obviously timeless so I get people feeling let down. But the game wasnt bad standing on its own.

I tried to like it so much, played it about halfway through and just totally lost interest.

Still grinding away on Black Myth Wukong. Looks like it’s gonna take a bunch of my time when I actually play games.

Been playing a Valheim play-through with some close friends.


Theres about 5 of us, and we are usuing Valheim+ (Valheim Plus) with just a FEW tweaks to the vanilla game to make it a tiny bit less grindy.



For example, a slightly increased inventory, chest size increase, wide area repairs with the hammer, repairing gear when you go to a workbench without needing to manually do it, Karve inventory increased... and maybe a few others.


We still kept 'no teleporting with ore' and the difficulty high.


This has honestly been one of the most fun games I have played in a long time. If you tried valheim, and found it too grindy or had some other QOL issues, there are a bunch of really good mods that can make things more enjoyable for a casual group.


If you want settings suggestions, let me know! I'm very casual and even with some of these tweaks , the game can be frustratingly difficult at times. But it is very worth it if youre into base building, survival type games.

I installed Dead Space and Ghosts of Tsushima, they were in my library from free monthly PS+ games and I just cannot bring myself to play anything right now. I think I might be kind of done with gaming, except path of exile of course. I will probably always play that one and really looking forward to POE2.

This mindset should change next year, I do want to play Civ 7 and GTA 6

Wasn't sure what I felt like playing so I threw on the remaster of Chrono Cross. I'm already hooked. Nostalgia bug hit me hard.

Very underrated game. One of the best soundtracks I’ve heard in a JRPG.

One of a kind game and I go back and get addicted every year or 2. The mods really make it amazing and new every time I play it.
