After a long while having not really played anything, I've been playing Ys: The Oath in Felghana. I'm liking it quite a bit, it's a pretty straightforward and simple action RPG. Starts off easy but the bosses are rough, so far perfectly beatable though. The game really reminds me of PSX era RPGs, games like Azure Dreams, the graphics and atmosphere are alike in some way. Probably just my nostalgia speaking. Still, good game.

I'm currently cycling through a couple games. I've started games on House Flipper, Riven, Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, Sherlock Holmes Nemesis Remastered, XIII and Quake.

Usually I save the shooters and point and click games for when I want to play something quick, fast-paced and for a short time, whereas RPGs and puzzles I can spend hours on.

Actually playing Wasteland for real.

I may start another game due to the fact that I now know where some good early-game treasures are, and could just skip that Ag Center quest.

(One other note: On this playthrough, I skipped the Medic skill and just went straight for Doctor.)

Edit: Also, Wasteland is much faster paced than more modern games, despite being strictly turn based.

I'm playing Medal of Honor Allied Assault. Currently at the tank section in mission 5. Sniper Town is as bad as people make it out to be. The game overall is pretty good tho. The highlights for me so far were infiltrating and stealthily killing all the Nazis in the Command Post in the last part of mission 4 and blowing up the submarine in mission 2. Omaha beach was kind of annoying because it's either play it the way it's meant to be played or just die over and over.

Took a chance and bought Hades last week. I'm having a blast. It's rogue RPG and dying is part of the game. All it does is make you start back at the beginning but there is no penalty, except the coin you find for dealing with the vendor Charon. A game full of experimentation and randomly generated rooms. I've never played anything quite like it.

Be careful. Once you start getting the hang of the game it becomes addicting and hard to stop. It's going to be one of the favorites for indie game of the year.

BTW, the game is by SuperGiant, who also developed Bastion. This is a fun ARPG in its own right and sold by GOG.

Still playing Wasteland 1: The Original Classic. Just started a new game and already and have 3 assault rifles and 5 radiation suits (using only 4 characters).

Trying to decide whether to buy Wasteland Remastered.

Darksiders. Cheesy but cool comics design and engaging first dungeon.

Trying to finish Don't Starve, but damn, the adventure mode is tough!

As much as I know I'd never get good at it, I'm grinding Hyper Scape currently

I just finished Sherlock Holmes Nemesis and now I'm getting back into Riven.

I'm playing Arcanum, still pretty early, have done Shrouded hills and some quests in Tarant. Pretty underwhelmed so far tbh. I already knew from previous attempts that the combat system and gameplay in general are deeply flawed, but I'm not impressed by the quests either, seems mostly like very basic fetch quests so far. But I'll try to persevere.

EDIT: Stopped playing Arcanum. I can see that it has some nice ideas, but the execution is just so horribly flawed imo that I don't want to spend my time on it. The combat and the character system are pretty much the worst I've ever seen in a crpg.

I changed my opinion, will try to finish Arcanum once so I can be done with it. Have to say it baffles me why the game is considered "best rpg ever" by a lot of people. Sure, the setting is interesting and it has some nice quests, but it's also full of absolutely horrible design. I played through the Black mountain mines and it's quite possibly the worst dungeon in a crpg I've ever seen...tons of tedious trash mobs interspersed with aggravating enemies which can break your weapons, large numbers of chests with miserable loot like a few gold pieces, traps, and no riddles or quests to break up the tedium...and it goes on for ever, I don't think it can be finished in much less than an hour at least even when one knows what one has to do. Just garbage design. And I get the impression the dungeons in this game are pretty much all like this. And given how prominent the bad parts of Arcanum are (the combat system, dungeons), I don't see how this can be considered a top game, despite all the nice ideas.

Looking at replaying Dragon Wars and I've done some early experimenting.

(For games with complex character creation, I like to experiment a bit before I start playing for real.)

Currently playing Dying Light The Following. I love the base game but the expansion lost some of the fun factor by giving you a buggy. Driving it was fun for the first few hours but got boring. I hope that the sequel does not have it.
