Video Games Update
May. 28th, 2025 02:42 pmJust a brief overview of what I'm doing to waste time these days!
- I'm still playing Fallout 76 regularly on the PS5, doing the daily and weekly rewards. I'm not exactly an "end game" build, because I CBA to do the homework into the right weapon mods and perk cards and whatnot, but I'm having fun.
- My current "plot game" is Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the sequel to Fallen Order. It's pretty good fun, about the right kind of difficulty for me - challenging enough to be interesting but not hard enough to be off-putting.
- One of this month's freebies on PlayStation Network is Ark: Survival Ascended, the next-gen remake of Survival Evolved. This is a survival, crafting game with dinosaurs and sci-fi stuff side by side. It's insanely popular and I've played it a lot mostly trying to figure out why... I just don't get it, but it's annoyingly moreish.
- Over on the desktop, I'm playing Hardspace: Shipbreaker. This is a moderately chill game where you're literally spending time taking apart used spaceships. There is some threat and danger, such as active electrical systems or combustible components, and there's an ongoing narrative plot against a backdrop of indentured servitude and capitalism gone mad. Most usefully, each game shift lasts 15 minutes so it's relatively easy not to get caught up in it.
- Also on the desktop I recently acquired Rail Route, where you get to play a train dispatcher at a busy Eastern European station and have to try and schedule services to maximise throughput and minimise delays. It's horribly addictive.
