What are you playing this weekend? 2024-11-29

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

Playing Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout. The game is very chill, but bosses have a difficulty spike. There was a mini boss before that killed me couple of times, then had to go back and use all tools in my arsenal to beat it. Same thing happened with this boss. Was breezing through everything, then half way through the boss battle he did an attack and everyone died.

Not a big deal though, there are few equipment upgrades I can do but skipped because I ran out of specific materials and since game was already pretty easy so didn't bother with them. Going to gather the materials now.

Started (and finished) Superhot, it's the most innovative shooter I have played in years. Got it as PS+ monthly game a while back but hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Game is a low-poly first person shooter where time moves only when you move. Plays more like a puzzle than a shooter, or well, at least felt like that to me. Everyone, including you, is one hit kill, so you have to avoid the bullets and kill all the enemies. When someone dies you can just pick their weapon from the air before it falls down, pretty fun.

Also, it's a pretty short game, finished it in a single sitting, took me less than couple of hours.

Finally got Age of Empires 4 on Steam autumn sale! Have been meaning to get this (or AoE 2) since I upgraded my laptop, finally got 4 yesterday on sale. Used to play Age of Empires a lot in my younger days, specially 2. Had tons of LAN parties, so looking forward to get into it again. Was never a great PvP player though, so going to stick to single player for now.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?
