Caves of Qud & Rain World
I'm playing Satisfactory, there's something really meditative about building an enormous factory on a beautiful world
I went Diablo 4 to Diablo 3 to Last Epoch currently. Pretty fun so far.
Final Fantasy X remake on PS Vita
I got a good deal on Assassin's Creed II and finally figured out how to hook up an x-box controller to my PC (yes, I'm dumb). I never played any of the AC games other than the first one when it originally came out, so I'm excited to get done with work and give it a shot.
Ori and the Blind Forest. I like the art a lot.
bought Spiderman Miles Morales on Steam last week, but haven't touched it, probably Sun Haven as well
Factorio and art of rally
I've been playing the original Quake, as well as Deus Ex. I'm not normally a fan of boomer shooters, but Quake has been surprisingly fun and interesting. I realize this might be a complaint for some, but I appreciate the simplified arsenal of weapons. It puts more focus on enemies and the level design, which I appreciate.
Deus Ex is fun, but it hasn't had the moment where it fully clicks for me just yet, like Prey did. I'm still enjoying it, but I'm curious to see if it really grips me like some other immersive sims do.
Noita! Suffering is my fun.
The last weeks I played valheim on my own server with some friends. It was so relaxing. But now the newest patch broke all the mods we were using.
So now I play Jak II and wonder how my child self could manage drone of those missions. Damn that game can be hard.
Iron Danger.
It's an indie tactical RPG that's RTWP similar to other CRPGs. But the main feature of it is being able to rewind time to redo actions if they don't work out, so combat ends up being similar to a puzzle as you rewind and reposition or try new attacks.
The downside is that it's linear, and has no items and very little character progression which are what it's lacking the most compared to a typical CRPG, but it's an interesting take on the style of combat.
Got Fallout 4 with all the DLC for a steal so I am currently enjoying that. Also Battlebits Remastered on and off again.
Mannnn.... I really want to enjoy battlebits. Looks like it captures the old battlefield 'feel' really well. It's just super unfortunate that they are switching to an anti-cheat service that requires kernel access. Even if it didn't break compatibility with my system, which it will, on principle that's just too much trust given regarding my computer imho.
Detroit become human. I find many PS games that got ported to PC are good. Lots of attention to detail. Although some are hard to get into. Can they ever stop talking for a second in persona 5 strikers so we can game a bit?!?
Satisfactory. Still got to complete that last step. And put trains everywhere. Can't seem to help it.
Hotline Miami
Been hard on Diablo 4
and OSRS on the side because the grind never stops!
Dead by daylight is having it's anniversary event so largely that, mixed in with BattleBots and some diablo 4
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. Just finished it last night. Was hilarious and short. Definitely get on sale though, it's less than 3 hours to 100%.
I started with World of Warships. I played World of Tanks for a long time but not very successfully. Now I wanted to give Ships a go. I´m at level 5 now, which (as I wasn´t aware before) is where you get thrown into real battles with real people instead of the training wheel matchmaking they have up to level 4. I´m starting to get the hang of it though.
My friends and I have been getting back into Team Fortress 2. Still tons of fun after all these years, especially the jump maps
Final Fantasy XVI, I’m 70% in, and I’m having a real good time.
The story is interesting and keeps you going, not convoluted or opaque like in 13 or 15.
The sidequests are very boring at first, and still mostly fetch quests / fight certain enemies, but they eventually reward you with background story of the side characters, and some of them are pretty good.
The combat keeps throwing you new stuff with a good pace.
The eikon fights are what we can get as close to Asura's Wrath sequel. Every big fights are just hype
Also the music is top notch.
This game is gonna end up as one of my top 3 favorite mainline FF games.
(edit, deleted original post, since I accidentally clicked on post before finished writing)
Little bit of Beyond All Reason, little bit of Battle Bit, and lots of Rocket League and PUBG
Symphony of the night and Mario 64 on stream baby
Currently investing some time back in ESO for a bit to check out the newly released Archanist class... not super impressed so far tbh. I mostly play GW2 these days so coming back into ESO again everything feels super clunky and slow for some reason, yikes. On single player titles, I have been dipping into The Witcher 3 a bit since I recently got a new rig that can run it at top settings, which is nice.
Those are my two main MMO's. I was grinding GW2 hard when the new ESO expansion dropped and I've been eyeing it. Seems the new class is meh. Even LuckyGhost seemed to drop it quick. So maybe pass on this one for now?
Playing mostly Honkai Star Rail, and I’m in the middle of a Mass Effect trilogy run - quite literally, since I’m halfway through ME2.
Age of wonders 4! It's been awhile since I got so engaged with a 4x, and this one's got a pretty decent combat system to boot (turn based tactical).
Diablo 4 (PC) and I'm finally starting the kingdom hearts franchise I got the big pack thing from the PS store so I'm going to play through those.
Diablo 4. Mate of mine talked me and another friend to play it and, yeah, he was right: love it. Not the kind of game I’d play alone but it’s brilliant as a laid-back social game (even if I’m getting a bit obsessed, build wise).
Been going hard on Kenshi as of late. Such an amazingly unique game.
Elden Ring again after taking a break from it for a while. Exploring new areas, it's fun.
Some fallout: New Vegas, hoping to buy subnautica: Below Zero when it goes on sale
Warzone II, not proud about It.
Been a busy week or two in the house, lots of poorly children.....
But when I do get a chance to play I'm mainlining Bloodborne. I've never played it before but I'm absolutely loving it. Perhaps not as much as Elden Ring or Sekiro, but it's still really hitting that spot.
Pikman 3 Deluxe
It's been fun, beat the main story. It's really short though which is kinda disappointing. Realized that if I had a friend the co-op would probably be a blast
