Board 8 > What are you playing right now and how is it?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Played some Death Road to Canada today. It's pretty much just The Oregon Trail, but with zombies. So I guess it is like The Organ Trail, except higher quality with more action oriented gameplay. I was about 5 days out from Canada before I died.

Fire Emblem Echoes on 3DS and Persona 5 on PS4.

Echoes is good, but the dungeon segments get pretty grating the further I play. It's also weird how inconsistent the classes are. Like how some have two tiers and some three, which gives those characters more room for stat growth. And then there's mercenary's weird ability to reclass to villager at the end of its cycle, which gives those characters way more potential...

Persona 5 I only just started a couple days ago and I'm going through the first dungeon now. It was kinda frustrating at first with everyone treating the MC as just the biggest pile of human scum, but I'm getting over it. It's certainly nice that they're trying something new with this one.

Just started BioShock Infinite...interesting so far. Slow start, but compelling.

Watch Dogs: this game is surprisingly pretty good. Is it repetitive? Yes. Is Aiden an extremely boring character? Yup, mostly. But the mechanics and driving are all pretty good, and the story/backstory are both really interesting.

Far Cry 4: Before I played both this and Watch Dogs, I played a small portion of some other Ubisoft open world games and just generalized that I probably wouldn't like any open world Ubisoft game. I was soooooooo wrong. FC4 is a pretty cool game overall, and the shooting, driving and overall layout are all really well done -- my main complaint is that the world map and minimap are pretty cluttered.

Crypt of the Necrodancer: I haven't played very much of this (have only gotten like 3 levels deep in the first zone), but it's an awesome game so far. The rogue-rhythm mashup works surprisingly well, and the little I've played has been really great. I intend to delve deeper into this once I finish one of the above games.

I have Borderlands in my sig cuz I've been playing it in co-op with my brother, but we haven't really played it in awhile lol

Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash and it's pretty damn fun

Ark: Survival Evolved it's pretty much equal parts fun equal parts frustrating. The game is overflowing with content, but not only is getting to it a huge time dump, but all the progress you make can just be gone in a blink of an eye. Due to other players or even just some of the wild dinos.

Pokemon Alpha Sapphire This is like my fourth playthrough but me and my gf are doing a two competitive playthrough with each other. So it'll be fun.

Elder Scrolls Online

Level 25 Bosmer Nightblade. Has probably the most engaging world of any MMO Ive played. I tried FFXIV before this and didnt care for it. Came from WoW, which has a higher population and is overall comfier which I liked, but so far Ive got some good mileage out of ESO. Ill likely drop MMOs again once I tire of ESO (finish the campaign).

Elder Scrolls Legends

Its Hearthstone but less bad. I like the strategy here more. Itll go the same route as HS for me, eventually Ill tire of it. I only play on mobile with this.

Rocket League

To kill 15 minutes. Always fun, but many times repetitive.

Armello

To kill an hour. A digital board game with animals and nice visuals. Ive got like 85 hours into this over the last couple years. Really fun but can also be really frustrating with the wrong group of players. Its a slow game with a lot of RNG but also a lot of choices at every moment. Mitigate the random as best you can and save the throne!
