Question of the week:
Are there any live-service games, such as Fallout 76, that you’re currently playing? Anything like Helldivers 2 or any other multiplayer games?
Played Recently:
Animal Well. It’s fine, I am not really a metroidvania guy though. Foundry. Also fine. It’s a factory game in the vein of Satisfactory, though with a procedurally generated world instead of a static one. Has potential, needs a lot more time before it really stands out from the competition.
Genres:
RPGs and factory/automation/base-building games for the most part.
Live Service Games:
I periodically have phases where I get pretty into Warframe, and now is one of those times. It’s a pretty good “podcast game” to do other stuff during, I generally really like a lot of the art design and lore of that universe. As far as a live-service game it has a relatively decent business model, basically everything is available in-game, though they will happily take all the money you have if you so choose.
I used to play Dead by Daylight because I love horror, but I am so fantastically bad at that game that I ended up dropping it.
