What Games are you playing right now? [2]

Sure.

I was about to do some illegal poaching after bunnies in the local forest for meat, but came across this guy instead.

Looks great, how do you like the game?

It's really good. A bit rough and unforgiving, and the engine needs more optimization. But the attention to details are astonishing. For example the villagers will react to how you look, if you didn't have bath in a long while or if you're wearing dirty or broken clothes and armor. It goes for realism where everything you do can have consequences, and it doesn't hold your hand at all like many other modern roleplaying games. I mean if you forget to ask the quest giver where the person you're looking for is hiding then you don't get a magical waypoint on the map telling you. You also need to care for food and water, aswell as sleep and any wounds inflicted on you, which may bleed if you're not careful.

You need to learn how to read because reading wasn't that common back in 1400, and forging weapons and creating medicine vials aren't made with a push of a button. You need to grind up herbs, cook them, add sustenances and do it in order. My small adventure in the pictures above can result in me getting a heavy fine or even jail time because i'm not allowed to poach for food in the forest owned by the landowner or the king. There are police (or whatever they are called) roaming the woods looking for illegal poachers. I did it anyway because I wanted to give food for the poor.

A lot of Steam Square Enix games 80% off until 10am tomorrow.

Plenty of good titles there to sink your teeth into. I can easily recommend Nier Automata, Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Deus Ex; GOTY, Deus Ex Human Revolution & Mankind Divided, Thief Gold, Thief II and Deadly Shadows, Just Cause 2 and Life is Strange. All of these are good to amazing. There are also all of the Final Finance games which varies in quality, but X/X-2 Remaster is pretty good.
