BG3 with my GF. After almost 200h we are closing the wrapping out first play through.

Alone I recently started Nier Replicant after having played Automata last year. Different feel to it and the quests are fairly basic atm (go here, do that) but I owe it to the developers to play it.

Babbdi weirdest game I've ever played. Can't even explain why it's enjoyable. It feels a bit like that sad junk drawer every house has, but the house is in communist goulag.

Ostensibly, I am paying several games, but realistically, just a lot of Deep Rock Galactic.

Monster Hunter World for the first time!

Lots of Palworld, it really is fun to grind XP, complete Towers and Dungeons or to create your perfect forced labor camps for your mindbroken pals.

Enshrouded shows promise for an early access game. Lots to improve on, so probably safer to wait it out, but I'm a sucker for survival crafters.

After a week of modding mayhem, I am in Skyrim again!

I'm trying to get into Daggerfall. I probably wouldn't have got past character creation without a guide, and I died an embarrassing number of times in the intro dungeon, but once I got to town and figured out how to pick up quests things started to come together. We'll see how far I get.

Might and Magic 7

Finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Torna: the Golden Country last week. The gameplay was largely the same, and I didn't find that to be the base game's strength. I mostly liked the story but the dozens of forced side quests absolutely killed any pacing it had going for it, and there was sidequest-styled filler even before that in the main questline. On top of that, I have a few nits to pick about how the story closed out. Ultimately I was rather disappointed, considering I'd heard a lot of positive word-of-mouth on this over the years.

For now, I've got one more year left in Atelier Meruru, so I'm going to see about closing that one out. This is probably going to end up being my favorite in the series so far, but I'm really looking forward to the games with the looser/no time limits.

I also just started the demo for Synergy, an upcoming city builder in the style of Pharaoh and Emperor. Mostly good, but the biggest problem by far is that the buildings need a more developed work-order system. Could see this being a worthy successor in this genre.

Various Steam Next Fest demos. Duel Corp is really good!

Blasting through diablo 3 season 30 ssf hc. Great game to play and listening to podcasts.

Replaying Death's Door

A friend recommended Medieval Dynasty. It has a few bugs, but overall I’ve been addicted like I haven’t been for a long time. “Have been” addicted because after 60 hours the initial rush does get dimmer, but I still like playing the game.

You live in a medieval world, where you settle down and build your own village, chopping wood, hunting, gathering, farming and mining. You can also convince hobos to settle in your village and help you with chores.

The story has you finding out what happened to your uncle after he left. You find out he has led an astonishing life via lots of funny conversations with his former friends. The game has quest dialogue you actually want to read. Cudos to that alone.

Against the Storm. Really great roguelight (meta progression) city builder-esque. Has some Tropico vibes, but the replayability and mechanics are really good.

I'm plying through an ancient game from my childhood, Disciples II: Rise of the Elves. Never got to play the Elves expansion so I'm having a lot of fun seeing something so familiar yet different. Nice bonus of it running on the steam deck, not super well but it's workable.

Mass Effect 2

I started it about a year ago so finally have gone back to finish it off. Normally I play paragon but I'm going (mostly) renegade this time.

trying to grind this goddamn AH-1 heli on warthunder so i can move up to the next shitty american chopper: the huey.

Still playing Street Fighter 6 pretty much everyday. Looking at who to try and get Master rank with next.

Learning Tekken 8, but complete scrub at 3D fighters so taking it slow and trying out a bunch of people.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is my current non fighting game time sink as well. Absolutely loving the game, the quality of the combat and character variety is fantastic. Although definitely would have enjoyed more variety in the end game.

Binding of Isaac. Just hit 1300 hours. Going for another Dead God save file.

Anno 1503

Felt nostalgic, and I like to shoot myself in the foot during finals by escaping for a few hours.

I think Dave the Diver and Against the Storm gave me carpal tunnel. Not sure how since I was probably more relaxed in Re4

After my friends recommendation, I gave the cod mw trilogy a try. First one was good, but shows its age (thise red dot sights are awful).

2nd is great, and my favorite. Seeing a major conflict in the usa, dropping down in a small neighborhood, fighting for your life in a random burger restaurant, its great.

MW3 is good, but its hard to top usa being invaded. Loved Yuri tho.

Fooling my short attention span by alternating Talos Principle 2, Valheim, Genshin Impact and (when I can find friends to play with) Overwatch

Playing Dead Space Remake and enjoying it so far. I hate the UI though. It's my first ever DS game.
