Been getting back into Horizon Zero Dawn! I planned on playing more of it sooner but just wasn't finding any interest until the past couple of days. Also picked up Pokemon Scarlet for the first time in six months to try finding a shiny Gimmighoul in the limited raid event that's happening.

I'm getting batocera configured so all kinds of retro games
I've been working through all the demos I downloaded during Next Fest so I can expand my already overstuffed wishlist. Between that I've been working through my second playthrough of Deltarune, finishing up all the stuff I missed the first time.
I played Smushi Come Home. It's about a little mushroom making their way home. It's a platformer with some light puzzle elements. Really reminded me of A Short Hike, both in vibes and length. It clocked in at about 3 hrs but was mad cozy.
Final fantasy 16! It’s been great so far
I just started Disney Dreamlight. Really enjoying it, nice and light plus adorable.
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
Some fallout: New Vegas, hoping to buy subnautica: Below Zero when it goes on sale
Granblue Versus !
Has it had that big update come out yet? It looks interesting, but I also am not sure I'd leave Strive for it
The Isle
Sea of Thieves. Always.
Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire
Gundam Battle Operation 2. Wanted to see if they fixed the matchmaking, and it's not as bad now.
Chunky heavy robots is my jam but the netcode is terrible...
I finished Persona 5 strikers and started Cult of the lamb... But I'm not feeling it
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on GamePass. I’ve put in so many hours and it’s still not over.
Eastward
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.
Warzone II, not proud about It.
Final Fantasy XVI. I'm enjoying it a lot so far, but wouldn't quite say I'm loving it. The lore and world building are really strong.
im playing that too, and i would say the same. i love it so far. the voice acting is wonderful, the music and the storytelling is top notch as well. but something about it gives me this strange feeling i can't quite place. first it was that feeling that i couldn't believe it was here and i was playing it. it felt like a dream for a good bit. but as I've played more idk what it is. idk if it's the pacing, or the lack of an overworld, or what. i can't tell if it's good or bad either way though.
Just finished Tears, so I'm going through a campaign of Kingdom: two crowns for something different. Attempting a no death run.
BattleBit Remastered
Such a fun game to chill out and just shoot things. Its nice that I can change the feel of the game so much by playing on different server sizes and the choice of weapons is nice.
Probably gonna slow down with D4 until season releases, might go play some Guild Wars 1 for the week, and forget about it again for like half a year after that.
Just re-subscribed to Final Fantasy 14, so that, and maybe something from the Steam Summer Sale that's coming up.
Wish to play new games like Battlebit, but realistically I only have time for one game, which is Hunt Showdown.
There is a new update with a new boss, new weather, new guns. Great time to be a Hunt fan.
Street Fighter 6 when solo, and DMZ with the boys
Still going on Diablo 4, trying to unlock all map bonuses before the first season starts so my new characters get all the bonuses.
I'm just debating getting a PS5 for FF16 🤔
I'm pretty sure you still have to grind out renown on seasonal characters.
Just started Soma, which was on my Gamepass backlog. What an amazing game! Brilliant. And that comes from someone who's not a horror game fan.
Also playing Overwatch 2. Trying to find a group who plays 8-10pm NZT
diablo 4 and solasta mainly. still a region to finish in d4 and I wait for season 1
Installed arma 3 and ksp again. So probably DCS
FFXVI, I don't love it as much as some people, but I have finished every FF to date and I am not about to stop now. I don't hate it either, but it ranks about smack dab in the middle of my series ratings.
Once I polish that one off, I will probably go back to D4 for a very long time.
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.
I just finished the storyline in Yakuza 0 and had a pretty great time. I might continue on with some more of the side stories and minigames but I'm itching to pick up on the story with Kiwami next
Diablo 4, hearthstone, hsr
Really enjoying Portal 2
Just finished Metro Exodus. I think I’m going to dive into Assassins Creed Origins next.
