First two episodes. I want to watch the rest, but I can’t when my kid is around. ;)
Spent a lot of time in Warhammer 40K: Inquisitor: Martyr. Won over by the heavy dakka weapons, and melee is a little floaty/janky but you have chainsaw swords so I’m willing to put up with minor issues to get to obliterate hordes enemies.
The secret MVP that I almost forgot about though was the beta for Slice and Dice, which just released to full version 2.0 today! That was my “casual” game - it’s an extremely elegant dice-based dungeon crawl, and this update pretty much doubles the content so there’s plenty to see even if you played it in the 1.0 era. There’s lots of unlockables/achievements, but if that’s not your cup of tea, you can unlock everything directly. I play in little bursts and I always seem to unlock things so it’s great brain burning puzzler - a lot of the time it seems like you see the enemy roll at the start of the turn and it looks almost impossible, but then somehow you do a couple combos and suddenly you’re out on top!
Yaaayyy!
I have had this on my wishlist forever. It has been in EA forever. However, I was bored and decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. It is kind of like a dungeon keeper game crossed with a conquer the overworld campaign where you create armies of minions in your dungeon and then send them out on expeditions which involve you controlling the army and burring and killing everything in sight. Each Keeper has a different mechanic which keeps the game fresh. IE: The evil wizard has immigrants with a very limited number of units you can have and you need to pick in choose, where as the necromancer has unlimited units and crafts them from the bodies of the dead.
It was a total surprise for me and came out of nowhere, but my game of the month this month was Shroud of the Avatar.
A few weeks ago I noticed my wife was playing it again and decided to join her. I had a fairly developed online character with some decent crafting skills too and it was refreshing to play with her and help explain some of the systems, especially the deck building. I even learned some tweaks that I had never tried before! I ended up hitting my first GM, in blades, and then in mining.
They have had some issues with the latest patch release since Thu where they are still down and trying to recover what broke during the update and still aren’t up. The game is fully Offline supported now, though, so I just made a new offline character and played all weekend. Progression offline seems way faster with lots more loot and artifacts dropping so I made some good progress. Got a decent new ranged build that I have never tried before and just finished crafting up my first good longbow and set of epic leather armor. I just unlocked my water elemental, which is a big help as they add some ranged damage and heal you automatically. I am a little surprised I am having such a good time with it.
My wife and I plan to play more once the online server comes back up, but she picked up Grounded during the weekend so may be joining her there before too long .
