I’m playing through Pathfinder:Adventures again. I think the game is a gem. The tabletop game is sometimes fiddly but still a fun campaign that I think was way ahead of its time. It died before the big campaign game boom and I think it would do well if it were released today. The app streamlines some of the fiddliness and should be way more popular than it is. Asmodee gross mismanagement hurt it.

I’ve asked this question in the past but I’m going to ask again and see if it’s updated in any way:
I’m looking for quality games with high score chases and/or dailies that you can compare with friends, preferably with notifications of some sort that someone has claimed the top spot in the leaderboard
For reference, a couple of years ago a group of friends and I all played through Deep Space D6 at the same time and it was pretty fun getting notifications that your high score was beaten, which would motivate you to play more and more and more
Genre doesn’t really matter, but we do tend to gravitate to strategy/board/card games. Something like Geometry Dash wouldn’t really be up our alley, for example. I was thinking about maybe one of the Arnold Rauers games but also looking at any recommendations.
They finally revealed the story DLC for the Alters. It is to be expected to be more like a „The Alters 1.5“ than a mere post-credit cashgrab Epiloge. Roughly 15-20 hours of content. This puts it to 80%ish of the runtime of the main game. My mind is blown. Season pass done right? July 13 furious irresponsible gaming induced Insomnia here I come!
Edit:
Remember the ancient artifact of „Story expansion“? No not cosmetic dlc…no no time-saver dlc either…and especially not a 5 star gacha pull either…a story expansion!
…me neither…

Think I’ve reached the end of my patience with Diablo 4 season 13. Had fun, but I’ve hit paragon 245 with my fully kitted dance of knives rogue and it’s a slog at this point for minimal rewards. Was aiming for paragon 250 but I don’t think I have it in me. Torment 12 is unbalanced and 11 is too easy. Whatever, it was fun for a bit, as D4 tends to be.
Been revisiting Dead Cells from the beginning; it’s a great pick up for a minute or ten and I love that you can leave it and come back to no loss of progression.
I’ve also slept on Clair Obscure: Expedition 33. What a great JRPG - fantastic story, great artwork, and cool mechanics even if I suck at dodge and parry.

I am glad I am not the only one with that similar experience.
I managed to unlock the capstone season reward, and as a Necro, I also find it similar. T12 is one shot land - I can do the damage and get through it (did a pit 110), but one mistake and you die.
looking forward to s14 though, going to play a Druid or Paladin I think

Agreed. I’ve never done a Druid, maybe I’ll give that a shot. Pally was a lot of fun too!
I played a high mobility Spiritborn this season that was a lot of fun, mostly JAguar with some monkey mixed in. I had played an aura Paladin in the previous season that was great. I stopped playing a few weeks ago this season though, usually by the time I get my last Paragon board up, I tend to lose interest.

Maybe I’m in the minority in my views, but one of my issues with D4 is that everything ultimately feels very same-y. I know there are different builds but by end game, it always boils down to clearing the largest groups of mobs as fast as you can and the differences between classes don’t seem all that pronounced besides from their visual flair. This isn’t really a complaint because I do like the game, just an observation that the differences between classes almost feel more cosmetic to me than functional. Could also just be me.
I played through the D4 campaign once, and was pretty bored by the experience. Maybe that’s not a fair assessment of the game, but when a friend asked me to play the latest season of Path of Exile 2 “just for the first weekend”, I was immediately hooked on the grind again. For 3 weeks I gave up sleep and family time to grind maps with the new (to me) Druid class. While I still wanted to keep playing, I had managed to achieve the goals I wanted to that season, and realized it would be best to stop playing. Despite all that, I’d highly recommend it as an alternative to D4 (especially if you have more control than me)!

100% on this. It never really hit me until this season, when my dance of knives rogue kind of just behaves like a whirlwind barb. I still like the midgame, when you’re finding new loot all the time. The end game is a slog; I don’t have the patience to go hunting or rerolling that item for an extra +5 dex or whatever.
