I'm gonna start a weekly Sunday evening thread where we all talk about what we've been playing the past week.
I have been doing a replay of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice this week. It's one of my favorite games and I was surprised how much muscle memory Ive retained for most of the major boss fights.
Helldivers II: Just picked this up to play with some friends from a former job. It's a ton of fun with a good group, and the hit-you-over-the-head-with-a-hammer Western imperialist satire adds a lot.
Soulstone Survivors: Vampire Survivors with more active combat and build variety.
Dead Rock Galactic Survivor: Vampire Survivors with mining and aiming.
Splatoon 3: Tracking down the final uncollected palette chips in Side Order. Team Baby Chicks will win this weekend, mark it down.
Soulstone Survivors is good shit. Do you like Dead Rock Survivors would you recommend it even in this early stage ?
DRGS is very polished already! It's at the state where all it really needs is More Stuff. Mining materials gets you currency for both in-run upgrades and overall stat upgrades, plus you can carve out paths to escape danger or funnel enemies. Weapons have decent variety and are satisfying, and the levels give you just enough time to explore before it's time to beat the boss and escape.
Once they add some more levels and objective variety, it'll really shine, but even now it's one of the best examples of the genre.
