I picked up "Mafia: Definitive Edition" cheap the other day (I've linked it on Steam as it's still on sale for the next few days).

I was a fan of Mafia (the original from 2002) and felt it was cheap enough to give it a shot and I'm glad I did: besides the infamous/arduous racing level I found it to be very enjoyable overall.

I was sad to see that there wasn't any "Freeride Extreme" in the latest version (this was bonus, fun, ludicrous content, available after completing the game) as it would have been a nice addition, the "Freeride" mode is likewise a little lackluster but the actual campaign is great.

What was the last game you finished? Was it any good?

I'm currently playing COD Black ops 2 for the first time and it's pretty good (campaign)

[–] Onaltau@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hell yeah! Have you played World at War or Black Ops 1? (They were my favourite, but 2 was very enjoyable - especially zombies). Good luck out there!

[–] RexWrexWrecks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I played them long back. For some reason, never got around to playing black ops 2. I finished the campaign yesterday. Going to start black ops 3 today.

Terraria, by beating the Moon Lord on master mode. Oh, I'll be back, because I love playing it on the Steam Deck, and it's probably my most played game ever apart from TF2. Sadly, that game has aged badly.

Finished w4k Mechanicus a few months back. I tried to get into Baldurs Gate 3 mainly due to all the great reviews, but it didn't really fit with me. Other than that I mostly played Crusader Kings 3, Civ6 and Risk of Rain 2, all three being games you don't really finish.

[–] davemeech@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Super Mario Wonder. I got it at release as I came down with Covid and beat it 100% that weekend. Excellent experience, I just wish it was longer.

[–] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Alan Wake 1 and The American Nightmare follow-up. I'm also playing through control again now.

I wanna catch up before going into AW2, but I heard American Nightmare isn't cannon anymore so that may have been a bit of a waste of time.

I got to the last boss in Eldenring and thought wow that's really shit. To be fair it was a great way to end a very over hyped game.

[–] nevemsenki@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Armored Core 6. Loved it to bits, and made me realise how badly I'd need good mecha games... haven't had one since Battletech.

[–] ramsgrl909@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Heretics Fork, very fun little indie game

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

It was not Starfield

[–] dalakkin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I played and finished Dredge. It's a fishing horror game, but a surprisingly relaxing experience! Very recommended. You go out with your boat in search of that rare catch. But at night you have to be careful of going crazy. Nice story too.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Sleeping dogs for the second time. Wasn't bothered to collect all of the stuff after doing the story as I've other things to play.

It was good fun for the few days while I played it

[–] nogooduser@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’ve had a VR run recently and finished Red Matter 1, Moss 2 and Red Matter 2.

All excellent games.

Final Fantasy XVI about 3 or 4 weeks ago. It is a very satisfying, increasingly fun, game. I love how the story was told and the progression of the combat system which continues to give you more options without getting more complicated. And it was actually a complete story unlike XV. I'd put it in the mid top half of Final Fantasy games I've played.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just finished Barman Arkham Knight and I am still processing it, hopefully The Suicide Squad game is at least something similar to this 🥲

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

One of my favorite memories from college was when I was home over the summer, had no job, and almost my whole family was gone for like a week. I binged a replay through all 4 Arkham games and the gameplay never got old while the story was just as good as the first few times I played each of them.

Also, screw everyone who says otherwise: the Batmobile was a ton of fun to use and broke up the other gameplay extremely well.

[–] SrTobi@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Tomb Raider 2013. Love that game. It's a mystery to me how they were able to croft (allow me this pun!) such a good story for that game but not able to repeat it in the later games. Even though their graphics is undoubtedly better, they feel like blant, nonsensical, un-mysterious clones

[–] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Super Metroid, amazing level and sound design, perfect progression of difficulty.

I recently played through the Minecraft modpack FTB's Sky Factory 3 with three of my friends. Technically you don't really finish it per se, but we got to a point where we couldn't do much else without excessive levels of grinding and collectively decided we were happy to call it quits.

It was a lot of fun. I've never been a fan of playing other modpacks because they often focus on Minecraft's weakest points (combat is a big one). SF3 on the other hand focuses on what are, IMO, two of Minecraft's biggest strengths, creativity and the grind. Saying we were somewhat addicted would be an understatement, as I alone managed to put 144 hours (6 days!) in the game in around 2 weeks. And that was just me, my poor computer got left on almost every other night so friends could play on the server while I slept.

It was quite different from vanilla Minecraft which helped everyone avoid the burnout that vanilla+ packs usually cause for us. 8/10, probably wouldn't play it again, but the whole group had a solid two weeks of a fun new experience at the nice price of $0.

If you like the automation in that pack and want a game similar you should try factorio. A more friendly introduction to the genre would be shapez.io.

If you like co-op survival style games it's pretty good. Not yet complete though which was a shame when we got to the end of the content.

[–] FrostKing@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Last finished was Super Metroid. Tons of fun

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I just finished Spider-Man 2. Next, I will finish Spider-Man 2.

[–] cosmicboi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Still working on platniuming Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. It was pretty good, except for the missing last episode, and certain missions that just feel like they're in the game for no real reason because they don't do much to drive the plot forward

I love the weird sci-fi/supernatural atmosphere it has. The gameplay is fast and smooth, especially once your character has mobility and speed upgrades. It also doesn't have the problem I had with Elden Ring in that it feels like it took forever to travel from place to place in ER. MSGV has much faster movement

[–] mrchampion@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Honestly, that would have to be Oneshot, and it was amazing. All I can really say without spoiling it is that it's somewhat like Undertale in terms of enjoyment, at least for me.

Undertale and Oneshot spoilersAlthough I would prefer that the emotional tension in Solstice was kept with more side stuff that you could mess up and have permanent consequences. What I liked about Undertale is how your actions truly felt like they mattered in the long run. Go from town to town killing everyone? The other's will know and hate you for it. If you instead give everone mercy, never killing a single soul, those actions won't matter until the end. And by then, you'd be glad to have done it. So, the way you play truly mattered, and affected the game's perception of you the player. In Oneshot, I initially thought that my actions truly mattered, but found out quickly that they didn't. The story remains the same no matter what actions you take. That took away from some of the impact the game had. I still cried during Solstice, though.

I've finished Ori and the Blind Forest at least 3 times recently. I had my first playthrough (100%), then I went back for the 3 hour speedrun (took a couple attempts to figure out my routing) and got a 2.5 hour run. Then I did a hard mode run with no upgrades. I've yet to do any tries for the no death run because that's probably going to be hell.

As you might have guessed, I think it's a fantastic game. I'm very much looking forward to playing the sequel. I'm going to try a couple no death runs before I move on though.

[–] Patches@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Please tell me you've played Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Both games are tied for the best game I've ever played. They have everything perfected in every way. I wish I would go back in time and erase my memory so I could play it again.
