Odium

I bought an original Xbox right around release just because I wanted KotoR, the system didn’t disappoint.

Add Brave Fencer Musashi and it’ll be an instant subscription from me

@InfamousOrange not all of the games are backwards comparable, unfortunately. You can find lists of bc games pretty easily so I’d recommend checking them.

That was a big win after the sharing games debacle

Clockwork Revolution was my favorite surprise, that game looks fantastic!

@Nightcrawler71 I started with the Necromancer and then tried out the Rogue, I haven’t gone back. I’m doing the Twisted Blade build for the Rogue and I just shred through enemies, it’s been such a blast.

Diablo IV and TotK for me

Jedi Survivor and Midnight Suns if I get a chance to play anything this weekend.

@Kaloudz those are all fantastic choices, I tip my hat to your taste.

@Kaloudz I can definitely see it going one way or the other for people, but it holds up great for us.

@Kaloudz I saw it in theaters when it came out and I still watch and love it to this day. It’s a great movie! My wife and I just watched it last month, it’s so fun.

Dordogne looks absolutely stunning

Hard pass for me, Ubi just does t do it for me any more, though they’ll get my money day one if they ever give me Child of Light 2!

@NEStalgia your Borderlands 2 comment wins for the day. Kudos.

Titanfall 2 is one of my favorite campaigns ever, I’ll trust what ever that team does (as long as it’s something I can play solo).

@R1spam that’s a good point, I didn’t consider that.

@R1spam I couldn’t agree more. I’m not delusional, I know Bobby would get one hell of a lump sum before going, but at least he’d be gone. I have trouble bringing myself to buy anything from ABK while he’s still there. I want Diablo IV but can’t bring myself to get it knowing I help line that dirtbags pockets.

Megaman Battle Network Collection on Steam Deck

Hi-Fi Rush is easily my game of the year so far. It just proves not every game needs to be a AAA multiplayer game with endless marketing gimmicks backing it to succeed.

Child of Light!

Thrilled to hear they are changing the button prompts to 70%. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve failed on the last one, especially because my son is constantly asking for help on those.

I beat Titanfall 2 on Steam Deck and hopped (stupid pun) into, Elemental Masters, Days Gone, and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile.

Lost Odyssey is a steal at that price

Lil’ Guardsman looks fantastic, perfect Steam Deck game. The Explorator looks like a good time too. And the obvious choice that I’ve been impatiently awaiting The Last Case of Benedict Fox looks amazing.

I downloaded it but was too early to play it. After watching gameplay of it I realized it’s not a game for me.

I downloaded the beat and was ready to play it but it was too early. Now that I’ve watched gameplay I realize it’s not for me anyways.

@Martsmall it’s insane how addictive it is. I got it on my phone (I was having issues with Cloud) and on Xbox with the DLC because I’ve enjoyed it that much. I’m always finding new things about it!

@LordFunkalot it’s the definition of “just one more run.” I honestly thought I was going to hate it but here I am with a dozen hours in and still adoring it. It’s simple but complex at the same time.

Continuing my journeys through Hogwarts Legacy and Psychonauts

Glad to hear Fig won’t be all messed up and janky anymore. Now to fix the massive frame rate drops when too much is happening on screen.

My #1 most anticipated game right now! I can’t wait for this, but I’m so happy they’re taking their time with it.

That final note is my favorite Patch notes ever, that’s hilarious.

I beat the masterpiece that is Hi-FinRush last night, then started up Hogwarts Legacy.

I’ve never even played a game during free play days 🤷🏼‍♂️

@HelloCraig great video! There’s a lot of good looking games on this list and the video was really amusing.

@The_Pixel_King in Pure Xbox’s defense, the person who got banned most certainly deserved it. They might have been joking but there’s some lines you don’t cross.

@Sam_TSM I haven’t played it but a couple of gaming podcasts I listen to said it’s a lot of fun

Oh how I miss the days of single player FPS

Lord Ruler, I hope so, but I doubt it’ll be this year.

Hi-Fi Rush is easily my favorite of their games, it’s such a unique, entertaining, and charming game.

The masterpiece that is Hi-Fi Rush with a side of Dead Space

The Pathless is a phenomenal game, still one of my favorite PS5 experiences.

Though Elden Ring is my Game of the Year, Shredder’s Revenge is a very close second, I’ve had such a blast playing through that solo and playing it with my son too. Prodeus and Vampire Survivors are two fantastic Indies that I’ve had a blast with too.

@BionicDodo that’s what I figured. It seems like the perfect fit for gaming while having something on tv or when the kids take over the tv.

I pray this comes to Switch soon, this game is so addictive, but it’s perfect for handheld.

I just started this earlier in the week and I’m absolutely loving it. I normally don’t like survival games, but I was so drawn to the theme, I’m glad I was!

You’ll have my attention when there’s campaign DLC/expansions.

It’s a gorgeous game and the atmosphere is perfect for me, but I just couldn’t get into it.

@Dusk_Actual it was fun, it was a decent story and good gameplay. I didn’t really care much for the characters and there were a few too many moments where it was the juvies or the Swarm leeches, but it’s fairly short playthrough. I don’t think it’s necessary to play, but it’s worth playing if you are looking to kill a few hours.
Also, I might be wrong on this, but it might allow you to install the DLC only like it let you do the campaign and/or multiplayer. I’m not positive though.

I just beat Gears 5 and the Hivebuster DLC. After watching Rings of Power, I’m thinking about jumping back into Shadow of War.
