On the opposite side of the "theme of the game is that this is an MMO" coin, this one's for the healsluts:

Play as a healer in an MMO and build your party to progress through 8 dungeons. Spoiler warning, it's a roguelike that is light on content, and I'm only posting this to showcase the sheer power distance between the two games. Probably good for a few hours of fun, but I would wait for content updates before purchasing:

Was actually talking to some friends about this one recently. I actually used to play healer characters quite a bit back when I played MMOs with others. I enjoyed the hectic rush of keeping people healed up and managing buff rotations all while keeping myself alive. Especially in raids and PVP situations. I especially enjoyed healers that were on the tankier side. One of my favorite MMO memories was being part of a guild war in town against a rival guild, running out of potions, and having to run to a shop and buy more all while an enemy was trying to kill me, and the guy couldn't even kill me while I was in the shop. I was able to get back into the fight without myself or anyone in my party dying. Good times.

Been wanting a good single player game to try and simulate being a healer. The roguelike tag has become a turnoff for me lately, but I may check out this game for the hell of it at some point.

I've also re-installed Guild Wars 1 + 2, as well as Black Desert, because I need my fix.

My condolences.
I'm multi poopbucket juggling FFXIV and PSO2NGS right now.

I did buy and play the latest GW2 expansion, but after the first two content updates for it, these recent two have been kinda fucking dogshit, since the story content was like 45 minutes long, and the new map isn't great. New raid is cool but I don't have the required disabilities to put up with Germans in LFG.

I also realize they should have called it Durandal. It'd save some PR issues, incline that it's vaguely in the Marathon universe but basically setting up the grand story for why you would have an extraction-type game. It'd have also left room for a single player campaign and all of the PvPvE modes. Though I get why they wouldn't, mostly because of Destiny existing as a name.

Should have called it Joyeuse, keeping the historical/legendary sword connection, and make it something new.

Have you tried Last Epoch yet? they dropped a big patch recently with more to come.

I have fun with it but it might not tickle the extreme autism necessary to enjoy the numberfagging of PoE.

I haven't yet, but will be for this new season. I've heard good things about the game, and even better things about the new season that's coming out. My time with ARPGs will probably be split between Last Epoch (if I get hooked) and Project Diablo 2 until PoE 3.26 or PoE 2 is in a better state.

Here's hoping Titan Quest 2 turns out good. I still have to get to the final DLC in the first game. Really stupid that you have to go through the entire game thrice just to access it on a Normal character

When the FUCK did Dragon Age ever out perform Mass effect David Gayman? Your team was a one hit wonder and as much as I like DA:O it is no Mass Effect or KOTOR. Hell it hasn't aged as well as Jade Empire IMO.

Former Dragon Age writer claims "EA always preferred Mass Effect" when he was at BioWare, and the RPG series "was always just shy of the axe since DA Origins"

"They never quite knew what to do with DA"

Hey hey people.

Finished the main campaign as well DLC remaster of the first game. 23 hours. Very solid, the sort of easy on the brain but still challenging assassination game I was looking for. Miles better than Party Hard Not sure if the repeatability is for me like it is for Sseth though. I don't care enough to play on the highest difficulty at this current juncture.
