What Game Are You Playing Right Now?

~~MicShazam~~ · 02-02-2019, 02:02 PM

The last couple days, I've been trying out a bunch of new games I've bought on GOG. There's still a few left to try out, but here's the ones I've played so far:

Card City Nights

A card game where you alternate between going around, challenging opponents and making/tweaking your decks. Super charming presentation and I dig the quirky humor.
The game rules are kind of unusual. Feels like a bit like the card game you could play inn Final Fantasy 9, since card positioning on a grid matters.

I like it quite a bit so far.
Also of importance: The soundtrack is cool and subdued. Great stuff.

Alien Breed

A conversion of an old Amiga game. Is supposed to be a classic, but I think it blows. Bad graphics and sound, bad controls, really boring, repetitive and superficial gameplay. Not gonna bother with this one any more.

Worms

A version of the old DOS classic Worms that has some extra content I've never seen before. It's a lot of fun.
I put more effort into naming my team members than I should

A light, but tricky and very fun strategy game. It's a blast in 30-60 minute doses.

Worms 2
Totally locks up Windows 10 to the point where you have to force a reset...
Couldn't get it to work. User commennts say it's a common issue on new versions of Windows.
Oh well. It cost very, very little and I much prefer the aesthetic of Worms 1 anyway.

Eschalon Book 1

Isometric view, single character, turn based RPG that I think is the work of a single developer (same guy who made the Geneforge games). I could be wrong, but I'm too lazy to double check. Anyway: Game was free. Played it a bit and it seems decent, if a bit on the bland side and WHY IS EVERYTHING SO TINY!?

Desktop Dungeons

I think this one must have been an iPad game or something? It's a turnbased roguelike, so I was interested right away. It's fairly complex in some ways, but the moment to moment gameplay is very simple. Feels a bit spammy, to be honest. It seems fun, but I like something that feels just a tad more meaty.

I can complete Gunbird on one credit

... I'm kinda terrible at Gunbird 2. But we won't talk about that.

I used to play Gunbird 2 with my dad at the local arcade, so the nostalgia is >

Just played about an hour of Below Zero and its great. Already found a seaglider and got a high capacity oxygen tank. now i wanna do some deep exploration. really great setting too.

Nice dude. I found my first fragment this morning and the tank upgrade. Hoping to play more tonight. I hope there are new vehicles and tools. The lack of a habitat builder is forcing me to make floaty chests, I havent made one yet, but im going to be forced to if i dont get a 2nd locker soon!
