I recently have been playing Across The Obelisk and I have been having a blast with the game. The game is basically a mix of Slay the Spire roguelike deckbuilder battles and Dungeons and Dragons.
Instead of controlling just one character like in Slay the Spire, you control 4 characters each with different cards to choose from.
The game has four different classes(Tank, Mage, Scout and Healer) with 4 unique characters for each class with a total of 16 unique characters.
You also have progression elements such as perks and town upgrades which persist after every run.
The best part of the game is that it has upto 4 player co-op multiplayer where each person can play a single character.
It is extremely fun playing this with friends. You can also play with just two or three friends and in that case you have each person or one person control two characters.
BTW, Across the Obelisk is currently on sale on Steam in case anyone is interested in it.
What games have you played recently?
Currently? Monster Hunter World Iceborne. Such a great game and I dismissed it at first because the multilayer aspect( as in playing with friends through the story) was a bit meh. It's really fun and lookin at Rise probably the best current MH game( cuz Rise lacks a lot of features World has established).
I wanna get back to Elite Dangerous. Been a while, I feel that itch again. It's a space sim esque game and I haven't played it in probanly 3 years. Odyssey, the expansion might not be the best but at least it's playable unlike Star Citizen currently.
I also started playing Mechwarrior 5, have got it through humble a whole ago, never played it fully. Career is really fun, slowly building up my roster and rep to get some better mechs later on(hopefully).
I bounced off Monster Hunter harder than any other “good game” I’ve ever played. I’m in the minority on this opinion, to be sure, but I feel like the comically sluggish controls are less “immersive simulation” and more “god awful mistake”. I have other complaints about the game - I also thought the UI was insanely convoluted, the multiplayer setup was beyond frustrating, and the story and characters were cringe anime garbage - but those controls were the real deal breaker for me. Like I said, I’m in the minority on this one. Monster Hunter games are very popular and well reviewed. Just not for me.
