Deep Rock Galactic - great co-op PvE with a lot of surprising depth and cool procedural generation of levels, some really great challenges
Hunt: Showdown - intense PvPvE with fantastic gunplay in a well-drawn, period-accurate Lovecraftian setting
Phasmophobia - ghost hunting co-op with enough randomness and variety to stay spooky over hundreds of hours
I like co-op. What can I say?
Kept trying with my spouse but I got too stressed out actually. Reminds me of overcooked. I could only keep going with overcooked after watching people play the levels on youtube (so, cheating basically).
A lot of what I keep going back to for it is Beat Saber, Ragnarock (Viking drumming game, reminds me of when I played Timpani in band back in high school, I even had four drums like the game does), Puzzling Places (putting together a 3D puzzle, works super well in VR), Lone Echo, Half Life Alyx.
It quickly made me change my plans for a video game I'm working on in my spare time, and now I'm planning to add VR support to it. Always kind of wanted to anyway, but it was more of a "well, maybe someday". It's a higher priority now.
Resident Evil 4 VR is also an amazing port. Really looking forward to more VR ports of older games because it's a totally different experience.
Also Elevens Table Tennis is great too. Feels pretty accurate to me. Also seems like if I played it enough I could get better at real life table tennis.
I'm having a bit of difficulty getting into RE4. I kept getting killed in the first village where the chainsaw man is, near the beginning, and I was playing it on the easier setting.
I'm not bad at games or anything, I did fine in Half Life Alyx for example, but for some reason I kept getting swarmed and I run way out of town while shooting at them and run out of ammo then getting bit as I try to melee them.
I'll give it a try at some point, but for the moment I deleted it to make space for other games (I've been trying quite a bit, trying to get a good feel of what's out there as "research" for my game...
Just found out about Viveport the other day, where you can pay a monthly fee to play a bunch of VR games. Assuming that works with the Quest 2 I'll sign up for a subscription so I can knock out a bunch of games and find out which ones I like.
I don't anymore. I have other things to do that I give more priority to.
I played GTA 5 some months ago. The whole story mode.
I have purchased Factorio some weeks ago and I love it. I have played it for some hours. Would love to play more.
Read Dead Redemption 2 looked very interesting when I saw a friend play it.
I would like to buy and play it someday.
Into The Breach is another game that I have played recently.
I always play on and played on PC.
Something I tried for a while, but it did not stick much mostly due to lack of time (and interest)- emulating old comsoles like Nintendo 3DS on laptop and playing them with a USB controller.
I just wanted to check out the Zelda series. I played one for a while, but the game has glitches.
I will return for more when I have time.
Recently (after another HN thread) picked up Tiberian Dawn in OpenRA. Despite 20 years since the last time I played I still get outraged when my MRLS get ravaged while tanks (even on attack anything setting) doesn't care a bit.
Grim Fandango
The LOUD mod
Halo Spartan Assault + Strike
I keep a blog about the stuff I've been playing: https://theandrewbailey.com/index/Gaming/
Cyberpunk 2077: Played. Really a great game despite the hiccups.
Path of Exile - Sporadic league player before I burn out to due to lack of commitment/skill.
