What are you playing?

Doom: The Dark Ages anyone?

I was quite looking forward to it as a Doom fan, but it was a bit of a let down. The level design and gameplay loop didn't do it for me and those mech and dragon stages were not fun.

I picked up The Precinct on a whim on Steam, it's really fun so far. I've played almost 7 hours. it has a pretty fun gameplay loop and a cool atmosphere. Some of the artwork looks kinda like it's AI generated though which would take points off if true. I'm kinda iffy on that though because I haven't seen many people talk about it

EDIT: I also got back into Star Wars Outlaws, since Andor S2 put me back in a SW mood. I bought it when it first came out and thought it was a really solid game but stopped playing it for no reason in particular. I got back into it yesterday and got the hang of most of the mechanics again but it looks like they changed some stuff since. The speeder controls are different than I remember and I heard they changed a lot of the forced stealth segments for optional stealth

I finished Metaphor the other day. I had some issues with it but I ended up loving it. I thought it dragged quite a bit in the last month of the game, and the end boss was annoying, I ended putting it on Easy just to get it over with. I had no patience at that point of the game. I really liked the characters, though, and the voice acting (they used the same voice acting studio Larian used for BG3 I read, so no surprise). My favourite characters were probably Hulkenberg and Eupha. I'm considering doing a NG+ at some point, the battle system was getting really good once I unlocked the super high level stuff.

Anyway, I finally get Atlus JRPGs now, I never really clicked with the gameplay loop before when I tried the Persona games, but I get it now and I ended up buying Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Royal (I bought Persona 4 Golden last year). I've already started my playthrough of P5R.

Splurged out on a gaming laptop upgrade last week and man I have been PLAYING. Mainly Baldurs Gate tho, finished an honor mode run with some pals and have started a solo one.

But I have been liberally downloading from gamepass, Metaphor, Expedition 33 and Doom Dark Ages are ready to go. I’ve also been playing 9 Kings. It’s a fun lil tower defence roguelite, and a run only takes about 20-30 minutes so ideal to load up when I get back from work when I can’t commit to anything longer.

On holiday again after tomorrow tho so back to massive RPGs
