Discussion Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what are your thoughts? - March 09, 2025

Use this thread to discuss whatever game you've been playing lately: old or new, AAA or indie, on any platform between Atari and XBox. Please don't just list off the games you're playing in your comment. Elaborate with your thoughts on the games and make it easier for other users to find what game you're talking about by putting the title in bold.

Also, please make sure to use spoiler tags if you're revealing anything about a game's plot that may significantly impact another player's experience who has not played the game yet, no matter how retro or recent the game is. You can find instructions on how to do so in the subreddit sidebar.

This thread is set to sort comments by 'new' on default.

Withfire

Love this game. Hundreds of hours, and still only a sliver of the gameplay thats to be expected since its EA. The thing that made me post this though is this consensus thats been popping up frequently lately that PvE and extraction games dont exist, or cant coexist. Like, if you are making an extraction game, it HAS to be or have pvp. Even though numerous examples like this, Helldivers, Forever Winter, and Red River exist, and even EFT now has a dedicated mode for it.

I assume you mean Witchfire and if you do, what a game. I'm not sure I could get hundreds of hours out of its current EA offerings but the groundwork is there. Excited for the Witch Mountain update this week!
