Hey everyone! Going to test out a weekly “what are you playing?” thread to encourage some discussion. As this is “True Gaming,” we would of course love to see a few sentences elaborating on your thoughts of what you are playing.
Right now I am putzing around in Baldur’s Gate 3 trying to see what whacky things I can pull off or incur in my second playthrough. I also have the Dead Space remake tee’d up for play soon and have been occasionally playing Arcade Paradise with my son, which has been a real delight - once you beat the game it’s just a fun arcade to run around working on high scores in. He just loves picking up all the trash and the little “gamified” aspects of the arcade himself!
So: what are you playing?
I just finished Hitman 2 and 3. Both are rather short tbh (I think the second took me barely over 10 hours), I feel like the first one took me far longer, but perhaps it was because I was still learning how to play the game. Now that I know all of the ways in which you can cheese the AI, it’s gotten a bit stale and boring.
Yes, there’s a decent amount of replayability of course if you care to discover all the nooks and crannies and want to get creative finding different ways to assassinate your targets, but it just doesn’t feel as alive anymore as it used to, because I’ve seen too many cracks in the facade. Also, the story is kinda lackluster and the final mission in the third one is BS, but at least the other levels are little more interesting than the second. I liked the murder mystery subplot in Dartmoor, that was a neat idea.
Now I almost want to play a murder mystery game, anyone know of any good ones?
If you have VR there’s a wild mystery game I learned about recently. You’re interacting with FMV ghosts in the environment. I think somebody told me about it in another thread. I’m going to go track it down.
Not quite a murder mystery, but you should definitely check out Immortality if you’re looking for a mystery/interesting indie game. Headphones and a controller are a must. It’s like five hours long, really cool concept.
I don’t have VR but thanks for the recommendation.
I should’ve been more clear: immortality is not VR! Just the other game I was thinking of
Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. I’ll look into it.
