Yeah that’s crazy. Unless it’s crashing or something that’s way too fast. You have two hours, give each game that and you’ll find more that you like.
What are you playing?

Same here. That’s probably the only game in 20 years the story was really interesting to me.

Picked up Roguebook since it was on sale and played it a lot in a few days. It’s not super hard at first (I cleared all three maps on my second or third run) but it’s still fun. There’s a lot of mobs and cards and artifacts I still haven’t seen and making broken decks is a blast. I’ve lost more runs than I’ve won now, adding the difficulty things (like Hades heats) makes it tough. It’s awesome when you figure out a broken synergy and can kill final bosses in a couple rounds, while you have full health. It’s like they built it for you to figure out OP builds and I’m cool with that.
The graphics of it turned me off for a long time, but the gameplay is right up there with Monster Train, StS, etc. Great deck builder.

Probably too late to answer this now, but TBH I'd go with neither. Dread is pretty forgettable unless you're a huge Metroid fan who gets something out of the new lore. Returnal is fantastic, might be the "moodiest" game I've played in the sci-fi space genre since Metroid Prime 2. However Returnal is also extremely difficult unless you're really gonna put some time into it and master it. One of those things where you get more the more you put in. It's also more of a rogue-like than a Metroidvania.
As for what I'm playing: I beat Dragon Quest 6, Metroid Dread, Aliens, and Hades. About to play the new CoD and then Pokemon Gen 4 (both the old and new versions, specifically Platinum and Brilliant Diamond, not sure in what order). Surprised neither of those have any real presence on this board.

Let me know how it goes. I thought Returnal was awesome but I gave up on it after a few hours because I didn't want to put the time in to git gud. If you do, I bet it'll work out well, and maybe it'll inspire me to take another swing at it.

yeah same. Returnal has fantastic gameplay. I do wish they could implement a hades style death buff though for us old folks.

About to finish my first play through, one of the best games that I've ever played.
I want more like it!

Me and my son pulled Enter the Gungeon out the dust of my Steam library and have been taking turns being either too old or too young to be good at roguelites - we put around 6 hours in this weekend.
I cannot sit down and do an extended engagement with these types of games (after about 3-4 deaths I just quit). But if I get a break between losses I have a lot more stamina (read: patience).

Try this build. I am not sure DnD covers this particular build dynamic. Edit - Poop had the wrong link.

i never played TLOU2 but watched a few twitch streams when it released and it really, really plays up the "women are strong, men are pathetic" angle, leans hard in on feminist/misogny tropes, and is super grim and depressing and long. Gameplay and visuals look good but it feels like its aimed squarely at female incels (a market i didn't even know existed pre 2021), any dude who likes to fuck hot chicks will keep wondering "why the fuck am i playing this shitty story".
trying to play deathloop between halo infinite and forza horizon 5, its a decent game but just not clicking for me. normally i'll play an hour or two of something and look forward the next day to playing more, but with deathloop i keep making excuses not to play. i watched 3 hours of downton abbey last night rather than play, lol

Having heard the cry of the incel, insecure white male and other such whiners I too came into TLOU2 with trepidation. But if you just play the game and stop letting agendas and politics live your life for you it turns out it was not bad. Largest complaint I had was stealth kill animations take fucking forever and it got very old about halfway through. Now do I want to play games that are lesbian murder rampage simulator on the regular? No, but it didn't hurt to play this one.

So was bull shitting with my buddy and was thinking how awesome it'd be if there was a Farcry style game, but set in the Dragon Age world. I suppose this is basically Dragon Age? I don't know? The quick combat style of Farcry is appealing, and open-world map, but action-based combat where you "storm a base" and your buddy is popping arrow sniper shots and you're shooting magic missiles. Feel like it'd be super neat?
Does this exist?

the older I get the more I enjoy downloading a game and imagine how great it will be in my head ..... which in the end turns out to be a complete letdown when I am actually playing it
PC : AC Odyssey , Fortnite , Timberon , FFXIV , ESO , Cyberpunk (if I find one hour a day for any of them I am doing good )
XBOX X : AC Origins ( looks still awesome on a big TV for its age) ; Skyrim Anniversary Edition
Parking List : Witcher 3 on XBOX X with the Next Gen Patch
I really would like to enjoy Gamepass but as an example, Forza 5 > not even 5 minutes and I was bored with it ...

Time is a limited resource for many of us, but 5 minutes seems a little extreme. You couldn't even get through the starting credits/race in that amount of time. Lol. At least give games a chance before you shelf them!!
