The Big Thread of Games: what's your finger exercise for an early heart attack?

[RedRevolver]

I'm not a big gamer anymore, I fangirl over Rockstar games quite hard still, am highly disappointed in Team17 taking the proverbial worming tablet but that's the extent of really.

However, here's a few games I've played recently I've enjoyed:

Enter the Gungeon - a roguelite with pick me ups each level. Very fun. Lots of secrets (including levels).

If you like the above, you'll enjoy this. Nuclear Throne -- a gamejam with guts, radioactive guts. Another roguelite, easy to pick up and put down, pretty difficult and reasonably awarding. Daily and weekly runs for the competitive.

Better than you might think but probably not worth £50. Reasonably traditional RPG fare set in the AC universe, your choices matter, hours of story content (as well as weekly free updates).

Thread locked in T-minus 3, 2...

I don't think Barry likes 'what have you been playing?' kind of threads (for good reasons) but this sub seems pretty slow so maybe it would inject a bit of life.

Related thoughts incoming...Certainly, I've completely lost motivation to spend half an hour writing something in depth about something I've thought about a lot to get basically no replies. I know that reads as a moan - it is - but I put a lot of time and effort into this sub over the last couple of years in particular and it's dispiriting to have so little engagement.

So, yeah, a what have you been playing thread is probably a good idea at this point.

Yeah just go ahead, the forum is really disappointing me lately with how dead it is, I might as well just read this and use it to harvest new threads. To that end, if people could maybe try and talk about one game at a time instead of rattling off a list, that would really help promote discussion and make it easier for me to split new threads.

And I'm very sorry to hear that Bosto, and I completely understand and agree! I posted in GB today to try and rattle a few coffins. Bear in mind some of us still enjoy reading those threads even if we don't have time or energy to reply mate.
