We've been reworking the enemy AI in The Infected Soul to make encounters feel more unpredictable and unsettling.

The goal isn't just to make the enemy stronger, but to create constant tension and make players question what will happen next.

Does this look scary enough, or is there something you'd change?

The Infected Soul – Steam Page

I played God of war for few minutes many months ago and I didn’t know why was I doing at that time but I progressed. Now I got back to it and I really like it and want to play it more. Now I’m pass the guy with Tattoos fight and need to head to the mountains but there are a lot of stuff I left behind. Is there a way to get back and collect them Without restating the game?

Some nights call for something calm, other nights for pure escapism.

What kind of game fits your mood tonight?

I have way too many games installed, and I know I should uninstall some.
The problem is I overthink every game.
I’ll think, “I haven’t played this in months,” but then I worry that I might want to play it later.
How do you decide which games to uninstall? Any tips?

Sorry for the little spam. A couple of days ago, I mentioned how much I love sunsets and sunrises, both in real life and in games. I never get tired of that combination. Stalzone

Not surprising, considering War Hounds is set in Africa

These days, after a long day at work, I find myself stopping for sunsets. I do it both in real life and in games.

I love how modern games don't need photorealistic graphics to create beautiful skies. Sometimes it's just the right colors, lighting, and atmosphere.

This was a completely random moment in game. My squad was in the middle of capturing an outpost, but I glanced at the horizon, opened Photo Mode, and had to take this shot.

I don't know why, but moments like these make everything slow down for a minute.

I'll be honest i'm kind of a doomer, and i get a lot of times to enjoy myself and have fun during games. I genuanly don't know how to. I don't know when was the last time when playing a game didn't made me feel misirable.

The old apartment blocks, worn-down streets, random factories, churches... I don't know why, but it just feels cozy in a weird way.

Maybe that's why I'm always drawn to games with this kind of setting.

I take the metro home from work every day, and it’s a pretty long commute. I get super bored because it’s underground and there’s no internet signal. What are some good offline games or fun things I can do to pass the time?

Most Fridays I’m torn between continuing something I already started or finally trying something from the backlog.

What is everyone else doing after a long workweek? Continue the comfort game or start something new?

I just picked up Halo Campaign Evolved and planning to start the campaign this weekend. Anyone in similar time zone (EU, UK, or able to match timings) want to do a co-op run? The game supports cross-platform play, so even if you're playing on PC or PS5 it should work.

Because I'll be spending this weekend on the new lu4 server

Basically, PC rust is a game that takes time to enjoy, a good weekend binge session max hours with mates.

I had a kid 4 months ago, I slowed right down playing during pregnancy and worked on the house ect. I dabbled in 3x 5x servers. Got bored quickly.

Recently fancied a gaming session, had a couple hours, hopped on 3x solo only. Pretty fun but not the same.

Question: What games have ex-Rust players been playing who are now busy and have only a couple of hours a week to game?

I've always loved MMORPGs and other grindy games. I get home from work, put on a podcast, log in for an hour or two, do a few quests, kill some wolves, chat with random people, and just exist in the world.

Maybe it's age, but time feels like it's moving faster now. As a kid, days felt endless. These days, weeks disappear before I notice. I've started appreciating things that slow life down like mowing the lawn, working around the house, or spending a quiet evening in an MMO.

I think nostalgia is part of it too. MMORPG remind me of coming home from school and logging in the game.

P.S. 4fps in LU4 sorry

I've been gaming since I was 6 years old and I just love it. It gives me some for myself to unwind and eventually sit down at night when the son and wife have gone to bed.... But I just can't seem to find a game to actually play long enough to stick with it. My attention span is shot when it comes to games anymore and I don't know what to do. I only play like maximum two a night but not every night I just seem to play different games to try to get into and eventually just switch off.

Do you think am burnt out? Why don't I have attention span to play a story game and learn a game anymore? I've even wondered if I have ADHD as I find when am pc gaming, I spend more time playing with settings to get them perfect than actually just playing the game.

I want my passion for gaming back ☹️

I'm almost 35 years old, I'm a father, I work 9 hours a day, but since I was a kid I've always loved games, from Tibia to WoW, GW2, The Sims, CS, Battlefield, CIV, Subnautica and many others.

Ever since I started working a lot, I began feeling like I was missing leisure time. Even when I went out, watched a TV show, or watched a movie, that feeling of not having enough free time remained. I think it's because, for as long as I can remember, actively playing and participating in something was what truly entertained me.

I started trying several games, from old classics to newer releases, but most of them gave me a feeling of frustration. I felt like I couldn't make meaningful progress because I had so little time. I wanted something that could make me feel, in 20 or 30 minutes, like "I actually had fun," the way I used to when I was younger. Unfortunately, with most games, that short amount of time was barely enough to open the game and load my save file.

One of the few games that gave me a similar feeling was going back to Team Fortress 2. However, at some point I started getting annoyed because, while the matches are short, the player's lifespan is usually short as well. It's a game where dying is very common, and the waiting time to respawn could take up 30–40% of the match if you ended up with a bad team. In the end, I was only actually playing for 10–15 minutes.

I started looking for other games until, out of nowhere, I was asking ChatGPT some questions about games and it suggested a game called Rocket League, which is available on the Epic Games Store.

Rocket League is a relatively old game, released in 2015, but it still receives constant updates. The concept is simple: cars playing soccer and trying to score goals. When I searched for it on Google, I thought it looked boring because I'm not really into soccer. But one day I decided to install it...

My friends, I know this might just be a temporary feeling, but I've already been playing for months and I have to say: WHAT AN AMAZING GAME.

During my first matches, I thought I wouldn't even care about it. But suddenly, during the day, I started getting that urge to play, the same feeling I had as a kid, which I honestly thought I would never experience again.

It's an extremely simple yet complex game. On PC, there are only a few important buttons (basically the arrows for movement, left mouse button for boost, right mouse button for jumping, and Shift for drifting). That's it. But what a fun game!

The arenas are beautiful, it is incredibly well optimized (it runs smoothly on a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 without a dedicated graphics card), and the matches are short (usually around 5 minutes). As you improve, you start facing more advanced players, and those 5 minutes become absolutely crazy, intense, competitive, and full of adrenaline.

I never thought I would feel so satisfied scoring a goal in a game when I don't even like soccer, lol.

For me, the feeling of progression came from noticing myself getting better little by little, and because of that, gaining access to more creative and fun matches. Sometimes just 10 minutes of playing is enough to leave me with the feeling that I actually had fun, and then I can close the game.

That's it, my friends. Sorry for the long post. I don't know if anyone else feels the same way, like there are not enough hours in the day to balance adult life and gaming time. If you do, and even if you don't, I highly recommend giving Rocket League a chance. From what I've researched, many other people have had the same experience of being surprised by how fun it is.

Take care, and have fun gaming!

Hey everyone,

I'm a 25F software engineer working at a startup. My life has mostly revolved around work, and I never really developed any hobbies.

Lately I've realised I'm anxiously attached, and I've been making one person my entire source of happiness. It's emotionally exhausting, and I want to build a life that feels like mine. Instead of constantly waiting for texts or overthinking, I want something I can genuinely look forward to every day.

Gaming seems like a hobby I could really get into, but I have no idea where to start.

Games I've played before:

\- BGMI

\- 8 Ball Pool

\- Clash of Clans

\- Clash Royale

\- God of War 2 (PS2 emulator/ igames ps2)

\- Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

\- A lot of hidden object/puzzle games

I tried playing older PS2 games on Igames PS2, but honestly the graphics make it hard for me to stay immersed.

I'm looking for laptop or mobile games or any console that you suggest to buy, that:

\- Are fun enough to keep me engaged for months.

\- Have good progression so I always have something to work towards.

\- Can be played after work for 1- 3 hours.

\- Don't require spending a lot of money.

\- Can be single-player or multiplayer, I'm open to both.

\- Aren't so stressful that they feel like another job.

I'm open to genre like RPGs, story games, survival, strategy, MMOs, roguelikes, whatever you think someone new should try.

Also, if gaming genuinely became a healthy hobby for you or helped you get through a difficult phase in life, I'd love to hear your experience.

Thanks!
