Re: What are you playing? (September 2025)
 

On the couch co-op tip, we’re down to our last trophy in Split Fiction, and we just started the Kirby and the Forgotten Land expansion.

As for my next solo game…likely the Horizon Zero Dawn remaster, unless I start digging into the stuff-I-keep-meaning-to-play-on-Game-Pass list. My backlog proper is really just down to HZD, Baldur’s Gate III, and Mega Man 7-10. MM7 and BG3 are the only of those I haven’t played before.

I’m not planning on buying any new releases until
Ghost of Yōtei, and probably no new games at all, barring some kind of wild sale. In theory, Limited Run will ship Shinobi sometime this month, but we’ll see. LEGO Voyagers and Hotel Barcelona are possibilities down the road.

Re: What are you playing? (September 2025)
 

Just Skate. and PUBG for me at the moment.
***Edit to add Hallow Knight Silksong***

Trying to finish DA: The Veilguard before Borderlands 4 comes out.

Re: What are you playing? (September 2025)
 

Completed main game and dlc today. Great game. Took a bit to get use to each of the 3 chapters, since it introduced different "obstacles" but once I knew what to do, it was all good. Loved the 3 DLC's also, a complete change of pace compare to main story. Which was welcomed, appreciated the more straight forward simple FPS.

Re: What are you playing? (September 2025)
 

of course, when Borderlands 4 comes out 9/12 then i will be consumed by that one.

Re: What are you playing? (September 2025)
 

I was playing MGS3 Delta, but I finished it. Now I am working on the Resident Evil Remake (turns out I had barely started it ten years ago when I got it), and occasionally Civilization VII. Borderlands 4 will probably be looked at around Black Friday as I am not interested in dropping $75 for a game anytime soon.

Re: What are you playing? (September 2025)
 

Finally wrapped up AstroBot (mostly). Platinum the main game and the Christmas DLC. Nabbed all but one of the speedruns (fuck the monkey skill). That leave the Void levels.

Not sure what's on deck next. Maybe Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora?

Walkabout Mini Golf - Tokyo (VR)

This is a cool course--more so for the fun and detailed setting than the gameplay.

Re: What are you playing? (September 2025)
 

After playing through LEGO Horizon Adventures earlier in the year, I was inspired to revisit Horizon Zero Dawn with the shiny, new-ish remaster on the PS5 Pro. So now I’ve platinumed HZD twice (and got all the Frozen Wilds trophies again).

I don’t think I’ll be picking up another full-length game before the end of the month, but I’m playing Ubi’s Hasbro collection with my wife and checking out some demos (like the one for the new Digimon game).

Jumped back into Diablo 4 with the new season starting. It looks like they actually balanced the classes this season instead of everyone running the same 2 or 3 overpowered builds.

Re: What are you playing? (September 2025)
 

I played through the Digimon Story Time Stranger demo after seeing all sorts of praise elsewhere, but it feels pretty squarely not for me.

The other demo in the hopper is Atelier Yumia, but I’ll probably be onto Shinobi or Ghost of Yotei before I get a chance.

Re: What are you playing? (September 2025)
 

I just started Mass Effect. Never played it before. I bought the "Legendary Edition" with parts 1-3 on Steam.

Re: What are you playing? (September 2025)
 

Borderlands 4. Wasn't sure I'd buy it at launch but I was between games and skipped BL3, so I was ready. Although I did play (and love) Tiny Tina (minus the DLC).

How is the remaster? Worth it? HZD is one I never finished. I was a dozen hours in and got caught in moving homes and the distraction was long enough that by the time I went back I didn't know what I was doing, where to go, forgot controls, etc. I lost the desire to go back. It's been long enough though, I could be enticed to give it another go.
