Hey everyone!
I just got laid off a few weeks ago, applying for jobs and doing a little Linux/networking personal development in my spare time. My wife is leaving today for a week for work, so I’m trying to pick a game out of my backlog while I’ve got some alone time!
Not really feeling a genre or setting, open to almost anything right now, but it needs to be a game I own that will consume me for a week!
Options:
- NieR:Automata (Steam Deck)
- ANIMAL WELL (Steam Deck)
- LUNAR Remastered Collection (Steam Deck) * specifically Lunar 1, I did start it on a flight recently
- Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5)
- DRAGON BALL Z KAKAROT (PS5)
- Ni No Kuni (1 & 2) (PS4)
- Armored Core 6 (PS5) * I got about half way and need to go back to it
I’ll probably play some Battlefield 6 (MP/RedSec) for mindless gaming. Jump back into some Arc Raiders which I fell off recently. Also learning to play Dwarf Fortress, but that might be on the back burner. Might also give Project Zomboid another try.
Games I’m going to avoid, No Man’s Sky, RimWorld and Civilization V… fun games, but they’ll consume me more than I’d like lol
What are everyone’s thoughts?
One playthrough in Nier: Automata is about 55 hours. The game subdivides itself into five chapters and gives each one a lettered ending. Stopping at the first ending is akin to stopping the bible at Deuteronomy and saying “neat, I got the whole story.”
Each further chapter is dramatically different than the one that came before.
Yeah, but as a person playing a game, that is a good place to stop and assess whether to restart/continue.
