What Games Have You Been Playing Recently

I jumped on the battle royale train a few years back and never really disembarked. I've mostly been playing Apex Legends (season 6 release last week) with a bit of Hyper Scape (major balance issues, but has potential) mixed in. I looked back at some of the older pages in this subforum and saw that Apex was getting a lot of hate for its disastrous bugs. For me, it's been running smooth consistently except for the occasional isolated server crash, and EA hasn't tried to make it pay-to-win or pay-to-play. Hyper Scape is on the brink of disaster; none of the weapons are balanced and it's infested with glitches.
I've been playing some Dauntless lately as well. It's a hunting game with not much storyline to it. You probably don't want to play it unless you're willing to invest a lot of time grinding out resources, but I personally enjoy it.
TLDR: Apex Legends is polished and smooth; Hyper Scape is too early to have real fun with; Dauntless is either a really good time or incredibly tedious, depending on your idea of a fun game.

Been having a blast playing "Among Us". Reminds me of the games of Mafia we used to play on the forum.
Actually, Among Us has seen such a surge in popularity in the last couple of weeks that yesterday the developers announced they've cancelled the sequel so that they can improve the original game.

--- Quote from: LeeC on 22 Aug 2020, 10:32 ---I do notice that although I have clocked in 400+ hours in the game, I have only ever finished a campaign 4 times (including this one). I can't be the only one that plays a campaign for 100 turns before wanting to play another faction because it got too easy or needed a flavor swap, right? Its like "turn 100 ADD" or something. I think there is a technical term for it (not ADD of course) but I forget what it was called.

A little bit late, but I know that feeling very much. It seems to hit in the 100-150 turn window for me. I think it's exacerbated in the TWarhammer games because there's so much difference between the faction mechanics. But I don't know if I'd call it ADD-esque to feel boredom in the mid/late game because they haven't found a way to make it where that stretch isn't pure tedium.

I've been playing "Conan Exiles" and other than Fallout 4, this is really my first survival game (I don't really count FO4 since that part is optional). Its pretty fun. It's set in the Hyborian Age of Conan the Barbarian. You create a character and start the game nailed to a cross and then Conan wanders by, cuts you down and leaves. You start out naked (I am playing with nudity on so I am being literal). You then gather plants, sticks, and stone to fashion clothes, tools and weapons. You fight hostile animals, monsters, and people as you collect materials to build a base, craft weapons, armor, and items, and capture other exiles, tie them to the wheel of pain (like in the Conan movie) until Stockholm syndrome sets in and they become your "thrall." Depending on their specialty they can either fight along your side (fighters, archers, bearers), assist in crafting and processing materials (blacksmith, armor-smith, carpenter, alchemist, tanner, etc), or sit in your base giving buffs (dancers, entertainers, priests). You also can tame animals. You essentially build a castle (or town or city) brick by brick (kind of like mine craft) and make yourself king or queen of your own little kingdom you build from the ground up. There's also world bosses, dungeons, purges (like the movie The Purge), undead armies, etc. Basically your own little part of the Hyborian Age to use as a sandbox. I am playing solo, but you can play co-op with friends or on an MMO like server where you can build armies and defend castles with other players from other armies of players. You can even summon gods to show up and assist in attacking or defending your base (Kaiju style). There a ton of videos online of people building amazing castles, palaces, towns, etc and its pretty neat.
LeeC:
Is there a game that exists where you have to manage a state/province/city? I don't mean a build sim, but like a governor sim where you have to make decisions, balance public opinion, ensure you meet your quotas and keep your overlord happy type thing. Perhaps avoiding some political intrigue and careful to make sure your political allies/advisors don't back stab you. The closest thing I can think of is "Long Live the Queen" but that's more "choose your own adventure" style visual novel than managing a state/province/city.
