Shadow of the Erdtree rightfully been kicking my tail lol, but I’ve been having a blast exploring the new expansion. Anyone else play Elden Ring / get the new DLC?

When I get paid I'll be buying it. I only finished the base game last month, so it's good timing.

It’s a fun expansion, they’ve added a lot of new weapons and spells in it. Just make sure to level up your character using the new system (Scadutree fragments) or most bosses will just wreck you

Lost within Riven

How is it? I watched my dad play Myst when I was young, then tried it for myself in high school/college and struggled big time Kind of curious about the sequel and how well it was remastered.

It is extremely well done. The real time video is perfectly smooth and the sound is (still) great. The game itself is just as puzzling as I remember, maybe more so as I figured I'd be smarter by now, but I'm very very happy with it.

Started playing Remnant 2 a few days ago. I like it but I think it's a game best suited to play with friends because I find myself kinda lost on what to do by myself so I end up just joining random public lobbies and following people around while they do things.

I also started playing Black Myth Wukong yesterday and while I know its not supposed to be considered a "soulslike", Its the closest thing to one that I've played so it might as well be for me its an enjoyable experience but my only gripe is there being no map feature in the game.

I stopped playing both Remnant 2 and Black Myth Wukong since I wasnt sure what to do in Remannt 2 anymore and I found BMW to be too difficult and the bosses too annoying for the time being so I've just been doing Space Marine 2 instead.

Did you try Lies of P? That's an extremely good Soulslike experience. Loved every minute of it.

No, I watched streamers play it on Twitch. Didn't seem like a game I'd enjoy.

It's weird. It looks crap, but is actually awesome to play. I was deeply cynical from watching reviews but I'd say it's worth a go.

Been playing Pacific Drive for a bit of a Subnautica-like (Nautlike?) creepiness via an 80s station wagon. Nicely atmospheric and the driving is good, and using the dashboard for most of the hud stuff is a nice touch. Even enjoy manually putting it in park at the beginning. Is getting a little repetitive into the late game and doesn't have the same dread-factor as Subnautica, but a solid recommend still.

I picked this up 2 days ago, it was on sale, I heard a lot about the mystery around it, and you posted this and seem to have good recs. ~4 hours in so far and enjoying it! Some stuff does get repetitive like turning the car on/off and opening/closing doors, scenery gets a little repetitious like floating rocks every 300 feet, but other than that, not too bad.

Ironically, I didn't touch my real life car for 2 days after buying this (I work from home and can walk to most places) and my car battery was dead today

Ah glad you're enjoying! Yeah the environments do change as you get further but there is a bit of a grindy element where you have to go to the same places sometimes. Just one bit of advice would be to not do what I did and obsess over getting every last upgrade thinking you'll need them in the endgame because... You won't

Just played a cool detective/windows 98 sim called the Roottrees are Dead, where you have to fill out a family tree through millennium-era Google searches. Is fun!
