What game are you currently playing?

This was a fun weekend. Played a deep rotation since I had some free time.

Xbox Series X: College Football 26 (Road to the CFP), Rogue Trader, Ball X Pit, Ninja Gaiden Black.

Nintendo Switch 2: DoDonpachi DOJ (I absolutely sucked this weekend lol), Xenoblade 2 again, Vampire Survivors, Rabi-Ribi, Raidou demo.

Really fun weekend.
 
Wayfinder. It's 80% off right now as well.


Started as a MMO, publisher said nah, I'm out and put all the headache to the dev, Airship Syndicate. They somehow managed to turn this into a single player offline/co-op action RPG and I kid you not, it's not bad.

  • Optimization first, it's kinda bad. UE5 haha. I get around 60-70FPS in medium-high on a RTX4070 mobile with DLAA, 1440P with some heavy frame drops in dense areas or whenever a new area loads. The RNG dungeons however have a rock solid 80FPS lock. Nevertheless, I think it's perfectly playable if you fiddle/lower your settings.
  • The art style is incredibly lush and watercolor like. Very unique and signature Airship Syndicate, I love it.
  • The combat is fast, fluid and meaty. You have many characters that you can switch anytime and each have 4 abilities and powers. I like it even though gets a bit repetitive, it's nice. It's very similar to Veilguard but even more simpler and shallow.
  • 4 Main areas, that's it because the development has stopped. They are large and have a lot of stuff to do.
  • MMO to single player/co-op experience is a mixed bag. Area, loot and enemies all feel MMO. Rewards, progression, nearly everything is very, very MMO but quickier and without any monetization. It feels fun but rewards are very RNG and cosmetic given it was meant to be grind and all that MMO sheningans shit.
  • While the development has stopped there's enough content: quests, secondary quests, RNG loot dungeons, hunts, jobs, etc, easy 40-50 hours to 100%.
I recommend this, especially at 80%. It's fun and feels kinda unique, a single player offline/co-op MMO is crazy and cool.

7 hours in, I don't recommend this.

- optimization is horrible, constant stutters in any settings
- anything after 4-5 hours is the same, you just grind
- very very mmo: fetch quests, kill x, pretentious battle pass (towers lol), progression is insanely slow, it's just MMO but without MTX/timers etc. Feels almost like a free mobile game lol
- characters (wayfinders lol) are unlocked through RNG drops/crafted, basically gacha pulls
- bosses are boring and a joke
- again, optimization horrible

only good about this game is the movement and combat which feel pretty good but due to insane stutter and fps drops it doesn't feel good. Also blinding lights, seizure inducing VFX in "corrupted" dungeons with stuttering = headaches in like 15 mins.
 
Splitting my time between these four currenlty:

Arc Raiders
Tokyo Xtreme Racer
Helldivers II
Satisfactory
 
I finished Onimusha (with the original soundtrack mod).

I really liked it, they managed to make an enjoyable combat system with tank controls and a fixed camera perspective. Even with tank controls the character feels quite responsive. You can perform parries too, I discovered that completely by accident.

Only at the end of the game I realized you could upgrade Herbs to Medicines, lol. Well, apparently it's not needed on Normal.

The port is really barebone: 60 FPS only, 16:9 is just a pan ans scan of the 4:3 viewport (so it doesn't make sense to use it), and the backgrounds are quite blurry, they just ported them over as is.

I'm gonna play the sequel at some point
 
I played some Fate/Samurai: Remnant (PS5), doing platinum cleanup. I'm also on chapter 11 of Ninja Gaiden 4 (PS5), which is one of my GOTYs for this year.
 
Well having wrapped up the very 'meh, it was ok' yotei, im looking for my next and trying to decide between:

Keeper
Vampire bloodline 2
Hell is us
Dispatch
