Portal 2 is a MUST play if there ever was one. Easily one of the greatest of all time video games.

I've really slowed down on gaming since getting into Midjourney, but I am still playing through Prey (2017). I'm maybe 60-80% of the way through it at this point. It's excellent, and I'm loving it, but so far I still like Dishonored more and by a fairly wide margin.

Happy birthday to me!! So excited!

Bioshock - 10/10
Bioshock 2 - 9/10 (still, my favorite to play)
Bioshock Infinite - 6/10

Also I just started Prey (2017) recently and didn't realize it's basically Bioshock in space.

Tunic hands down.

Then maybe Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and Horizon Forbidden West.

Runners up: Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes, Shadow Warrior 3, and Pokemon Legends Arceus.

Nice! Will give this one a go!

RTCW is great, but also extremely difficult. Definitely save scummed my way through it

Played a little Turbo Gold Racing last night, capped off with a few rounds of Vigor

Mostly I'm currently obsessed with making AI generated art. If that sounds cool to you, check out craiyon.com and type in literally anything. There are several other generators, but that one is very free and easy to use. The more specific you are, the better results you get. Thinking outside the box can help. I made an Instagram just to house all my images. Hope you have as much fun as I am! Enjoy!

Can't wait to play some more Turbo Golf Racing. I am not at all good at it, but its still really fun!

I'm on the last chapter of Vestaria Saga and it is extremely difficult, but I am determined to get through it.

Other than that, I started Stray last night and will probably play that to relax inbetween frustrating VS sessions. Nothing like a cute kitty to put my mind and soul at ease.

It's fun for an hour or so, but there's a serious lack of content/variety.

Still holding out for Return of the Obra Dinn

Getting very close to the end of Vestaria Saga but I doubt I'll finish it this weekend. It's a great game that absolutely lives up to it's creator's reputation. Very difficult and sometimes frustrating if you don't let anyone die, but it's worth it. Sometimes you just have to pray to the RNGesus. It's kind of a shame the graphics and animations aren't a little better, but they don't need to be as that's obviously not the point.

I also started playing Resident Evil: Survivor on my recently purchased Miyoo Mini v2, but I think I might save it for an upcoming flight.

Last night I beat Nightmare of Decay, which was pretty good overall. I think I got the bad ending, but I typically don't care about that sort of thing.

Getting more into Vestaria Saga as I'm about 2/3 of the way through it now.

I'm on what I believe to be the final (non optional) boss. Determined to beat this DLC.

Turbo Golf Racing is really fun! Can't wait for the full version!

Playing through Sin and Punishment on N64 via the NSO app. Still getting used to the controls.. This game is extremely difficult, but very creative. I'm not ashamed to admit I'm save scumming my way through it. Interesting that it never came out in the US, but all the dialogue is fully voice acted in American English with Japanese subtitles.

I bought Nightmare of Decay on PC about a week ago, and that will very likely be my next game since apparently it's only ~3 hours long. Supposedly it's a very good faux-retro interpretation of what the original Resident Evil might have been like if it was an FPS.

Other than that, just some Fall Guys with my buddies last night, and maybe more tonight. I want to give Naraka a shot, but I'm the only one of us who actually downloaded it 😅😂

Very into Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes right now. Really loving this game. It's almost perfect for what it's trying to do. Possibly my new favorite musou.

Tried out The Anacrusis with the guys last night.. Woof. Gameplay is very tedious, and while the style is kinda neat, the graphics are flat with low detail like the game was designed in the early 360/PS3 era. I do not recommend it.

We played some more Fall Guys too which was still fun even though I'm not really getting any better at it.

Also chipping away at Blood: Fresh Supply this weekend as well. This game is very difficult, so I'm just straight up save-scumming my way through it at this point. It's probably going to take me a long time to actually finish this one.

Can't wait to buy this tonight and never actually finish it

Prey is a masterpiece if you haven't played it. It's like Doom 3 and Portal had a baby that was raised by Super Mario Galaxy.

Can we rate the games ourselves so the list is based on community preferences like the lists they make on NL and PS?

This game was overhyped to me, and ultimately it came off as disappointing when I finally played it last year. I was expecting something incredible, and it turned out to be just something interesting. People rank this game as god-tier, when really it's like an 8/10. Just keep your expectations in check if you've never played this before and you're interested. It's interesting, but its not going to "blow your mind" or anything.

Atomic Heart!

Cannot wait to get into it!

I've played 73 games on Game Pass since 2020. Would've been a little more if I didn't already purchase some of them before I got Game Pass or before the games were added to this incredible service. Some were newfound favorites I never would have bought otherwise, and some saved me from wasting my money on a game I didn't end up liking.

Best deal in gaming! ...Except maybe Epic game store giving games away for free every week. I have almost 175 games from them that I have paid literally nothing for. I mean, only ~15-20 are worth playing, but still, free is a pretty good deal.

Fall Guys with friends. Still having fun being terrible at this game.

Fire Emblem: Three Hopes is really great so far. I like musou, and love Fire Emblem, so I'm really enjoying this one.

Little Hope - It's so bad, but I'm enjoying it for exactly that reason.

Ouch! Glad I didn't pick this up!

Nothing for me, but thats okay. Still plenty of games on game pass I haven't gotten to yet!

Max Payne 3 would be great

TMNT Shredder's Revenge with the guys. Having a blast of a nostalgia trip with this!

Also Turbo Golf Racing with the guys. I am terrible at it but it's still really fun.

Little Hope. This game is laughably bad, but I'm still enjoying playing through it.

I might drop Foreclosed, actually. The style is there, the gameplay is not.

Also finishing off the Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes Demo.

Redfall without a doubt. Cannot wait to make my friends play through that with me!

Hopefully they put Severed Steel on Game Pass - looks incredible!

I actually like the 1st person perspective of 7 and 8 - feels more immersive to me - but 3rd person is cool too. Good to have options.

I cannot wait to play this both co-op and solo. Super excited for this one!

@InfamousOrange The first one was remade like 20 years ago on Gamecube and kept the original fixed camera angle style. It was then HD-ified during the PS3/360 era. The 2 and 3 remakes came out much more recently. No word outside of rumors that the original (or 0 for that matter) will ever get a 3rd-person shooter makeover like 2 and 3 did.

It's not Game Pass, but the "Extra" tier is a pretty amazing list of games! I'm subscribed to both GPU and PS+ Extra, and I'm not sure I'll ever need to buy a game again (outside of 1st party Nintendo, obviously).

There's too many amazing games to play. As much as I'd love to go back and play upgraded versions of these games, I'd rather just play something new.

Super hyped for this!!

Isolation is way overrated. The only other one on the list I played is Fireteam Elite, which was pretty fun with friends 🤔 Yeah, Fireteam Elite is my vote.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, which is great so far.

Tried out Generation Zero with the guys last night. The game itself is just okay, but we were having fun with it anyway.

Excited for this one!

This list isn't too much of a wet dream, but come on guys, I think we have to turn down expectations a little:

1. GoldenEye is announced, but only the online multiplayer. And its F2P. Campaign coming later.

2. Forza Horizon expansion announced, but it's for Horizon 4.

3. Gears of War collection announced, but it's just all the games that are already available - no remakes, no remasters, no new content. Also no physical version - digital bundle only.

4. Id Software announces its next game, and it is Doom.

5. Activision Blizzard has one game arrive on Game Pass, and it's Skylanders. The first one.

6. Forza Motorsport will not surprise us with a 2024 release date, and then eventually get delayed to 2025.

7. Compulsion Games' narrative third person title will appear... at Summer Games Fest, because MS sold them off to Embracer Group.

8. Hellblade 2 will finally get a proper launch window: Holiday 2024. It will be 5-6 hours in length.

"Intergalactic Slaughterhouse" is a much better name than "Disc Room".

Mostly Life is Strange: True Colors, sprinkled with a few levels each in Blood: Fresh Supply and Boneworks.

I bought a link cable for VR games, just to see how it compares to Air Link (I'm using my Quest 2 to play PCVR games) and it's a bit more stable, sure, but I hated the experience. Made me reconsider if PSVR2 will be worth it. I'm so used to cordless VR that I'm not sure I can readjust to being tethered (unless the game is meant to be a sit down kind of experience). To me, if you can stand and walk around, but you're not standing or walking around, then why are you even bothering to play a VR game?

Looks janky af tbh

I just started it a few days ago, and so far it's brilliant. This game is special. I can't wait to discover more.

The only one I played was TtY. Meaning to check out Umurangi and maybe Her Story though.

Max Payne
Return of the Obra Dinn

Just started Blood: Fresh Supply. It's fairly difficult almost immediately 😅

I might also start Life is Strange: True Colors and flip back and forth between the two games when I get tired of reloading my saves over and over in Blood.

Edit: I started Tunic instead of LiS, and this game is so good! It might now be my new favorite Zelda-like, and I've played quite a few. I can't praise it enough.

100% Blair Witch. Much more in line with their style. Also Saw is one of my least favorite franchises ever.

@munstahunta I see. Got it.
