What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

After Outer Wilds, taking a lighter appraoch with Eiyuden Chronicles Hundred Heroes - spiritual successor to the Suikoden Series. It's weird having a 90's approach to a JRPG in 2020s (everyone is like 13, slightly clanky diaglogue and iffy continuity at times) but it's an enjoyable play

I started to play Outer Wilds a couple of years ago, I didn't finish it though. I have just started over and want to finish this time. It's such a great game. I have also purchased the Echos of the Eye DLC, so want to play that too.

I'm 38, I play single player games about 85% of the time while the other 12% is co-op (mainly FFXIV and D4) and the remaining 3% I dabble in some competitive multiplayer. I'm a big JRPG and survival horror fan, I generally prefer Japanese games. I also play sims like Football Manager (a lot, and I mean a lot of FM), Train Simulator and a bit of Flight Simulator too.

I don't really watch TV outside of sport, so all my downtime is gaming or playing around in Godot.

I play a mix of old and new, these are the games I have beaten so far in 2024:

- Borderlands 3
- Persona 4 Golden
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers
- Final Fantasy VII Remake
- Final Fantasy I PR
- Last Epoch
- Dragon's Dogma 2
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Sekiro Shadows Die Twice
- Slay the Spire
- Dead Island 2
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker
- Elden Ring
- Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree
- The Last of Us Part 1
- Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail
- Diablo IV Season 5
- Sonic Mania
- Sonic 3 & Knuckles AIR
- Silent Hill 2 Remake
- Diablo IV Season 6
- Metaphor Refantazio
- COD Black Ops 6
- Resident Evil 2 (1998)

I'm currently patiently waiting for STALKER 2 and I'm playing Dragon Quest III HD2D on my Steamdeck at the moment.

You're in for an utter treat. It took me 3 different attempts to "click" with it (mostly I wasn't focused before) - but it's a genuinely amazing game.

If you need any help I can fully recommend the reddit group. I didn't use them, but joined after I finished, but they are amazing at "helping" with literally zero spoilers or ruining the ride.

I haven't done the DLC yet (waiting for a sale) - let me know how you get on
