I need to get back into playing vidya gaymes and break my video gaming anhedonia for good.
I should try to read again too.
What games look interesting to you at the moment?
I was told that Slay the Spire 2 was a good way to break my video gaming anhedonia due to its "addictive gameplay."
But I want to play a cozy game (or any "non-stressful game" or whatever that may be) like Palia or Fields of Mistria or maybe even an MMORPG like Windrose (I still love this genre even though people hate them now, particularly MMORPG fans LMAO); besides, Pirates of the Caribbean Online was my jam back in the day before they discontinued it).
I was told to play Stardew Valley but got distracted from playing it at home due to the usual drama and tedium of home and family life that comes with it back in Virginia. I could probably play it right now on mobile though. It's still the "best" cozy game but I want to play a new game or more recent game, idk why exactly.
Oh, and I might try Warframe (again) due to the extensive queer culture that supports the game (everyone on ARC Raiders calls me "bro" or "dude" or whatever and I don't... like it lol). I would have preferred Soulframe (I love medieval-type shit, ngl) but I can't play it on my laptop due to graphical and performance constraints on that thing.
I play mainly through the GeForce Now app now (yeah, yeah, I know, but it's basically how I play now; I don't have up-to-date consoles anymore, though I am still trying to get RetroArch to work on my Redmagic Astra, which can play most games except, say, PS5 games). I wouldn't mind getting a Switch 2 here in Spain; could probably even get it here for cheap on Facebook Marketplace, ngl. Wouldn't mind playing the new Tomodachi Life or Animal Crossing or Pokopia on Switch 2 (as you can see, I am very much interested in cozy games now; not really interested in intense shit unless it's perhaps a Dynasty Warriors game where I can just tune out and go through the gameplay and have fun).
As you can see, I have already mentioned a few games here that I may potentially play, but I am trying not to get attached to a dumb "backlog" or "go through a checklist." If I find one and like it, then I will play it. I just want to relax again and have fun. I kinda want to avoid getting a Switch 2 for the time being, maybe for a month, so I am not distracted by more video games. I probably will play Soulframe when it is out on Steam or whenever I can play it on my GeForce Now app. The only other game that I may play is Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered Edition or whatever and that isn't out yet.
So in total, I'm interested in:
Cozy stuff
MMO or maybe any game with fun multiplayer, maybe asymmetrical like the Dark Souls trilogy or Elden Ring without being a hassle or a distraction
Medieval stuff
Nautical stuff
Good and fun gameplay (dunno how to describe it, I may not even care if the story sucks, I just want to enjoy gameplay again)
Etc. (you can kinda glean some of my other interests from here but I will leave it at that for now)
Slay the spire 2 is a fun game, I can attest to that! Its also multiplayer, so if you have a couple of folk that could join you it adds an extra layer of complexity. I have heard good things of fields of mistria from people who like the cozy games. Apparently the first moonlighter is fun too which might be a nice intro if stardew is nice in theory but tough in practice.
I have only heard good things from pokopia but might not be worth it unless you can find something cheap.
You could also play EU4, I honestly think its one of the best games ever made. The more the merrier ;)
"it's also multiplayer"
Yoooooooooooooooo
Glad I'm not the only one here who knows it.
Yeah!
It's great. I just don't like the "bro" culture in the other multiplayer games.
