Morrowind and Outer Worlds

I'm playing Pokémon Yellow on my SteamDeck (via RetroArch). The childhood nostalgia I'm experiencing is heart-warming. :)

HROT! Quake styled retro fps. I am enjoying it :)

Carrying on with Warframe but picked up Monster Train again last night and had a ton of fun with it.

Horizon Forbidden West. Got the expansion and wanted to go through the main story again before jumping into it.

I've been playing CDDA for a few days now, and you know what? This game is amazing in all aspects (except for UI and graphics). It's hard enough, sometimes scary, and very interesting in general. Highly recommended! (And it's free)

I've been enjoying the Evercade Piko Collection 3 cart recently. When new carts come out I like to try out every game and go in-depth on a least a couple games so I have a reason to come back to it later after there's a new shiny out.

So I've been playing and streaming 40 Winks (I'm about halfway through now), enjoying some Radikal Bikers, and loving to hate the hilariously bad Sword of Sodan.

Guild Wars 2, evidently others do like it as the maps are usually not empty.

I would like to play a more engaging game, but I'm working too much and my brain need some chill time.

Witcher 2 babyyyy. First time playthrough and it's just... Like I'm a kid again and I can't stop thinking about playing it again when I'm at work.

poly bridge 3! very chill but still stimulating game where you get a variety of maps and scenarios to build bridges in. i did have to watch two hours of bridge building tutorials because my knowledge of physics is abysmal but if you passed a physics course in high school i doubt it’s nearly as challenging.

I'm playing Vampyr again! I had already played it up to a certain point but never finished it. Recently I finished Tchia and felt like coming back to Vampyr, because I really like most of it (some details irritate me, like most of the regular patients in the hospital and all of the freshly spilled enemy-blood not showing up in your "blood detection" vision).

Oh and in addition, I started dabbling in this super eerie and janky MMO called Animyst.

Dragon Age: Origins

I remember playing a little bit of Inquisition years ago, but I never got very far. I felt like playing a somewhat old school RPG and I know this game is held in high regard so I'm giving it a shot. So far it seems pretty good but I've only put a couple of hours in.

Also playing Enlisted.

This week, a little Citizen Sleeper, a little of a Doom wad called Lost Civilization and No Man's Sky on Switch.

Just finished playing the Lies of P demo. Almost rage quit on the last boss but finally beat it this morning. Really enjoyed the demo, very Bloodborne-esque and now looking forward to the full game release.

I've been playing Ace Combat 7. It has been exhilarating!

Hunt showdown w my mates, rimworld for myself. Looking for a tactical mp fps to tide me over for Fallujah but Sandstorm didn't really click for me. Might wait for Squad to hit a deep sale.

I've been jumping back and forth between The Finals Closed Beta and Battlebit Remastered when I'm not leveling my sorcerer on Diablo IV.

Outside of that, for demos I played the FF16 demo which blew my wig back. Lusant is another one coming from Don't Nod that I played a small chunk of and quit because I knew it was right up my alley and didn't need to see more, have a feeling it'll be a shorter experience. Then I tried Lies of P, which has busted HDR support on PC, so gonna give it a shot on PS5 today. Overall dug the vibe and combat, the influence from Bloodborne is all over the damn game.

Mostly relaxing games like Unpacking to kill time while I wait for FFXVI. I'm afraid of committing to other games at this point. Though I think I might get back into Vampire Survivors to help kill time too though.

Cyberpunk - I like it but it's still buggy to the point of having to reload at times. The main story is absurdly predictable and short, barely got into it and I'm at the point of no return. Maybe the conclusion will save it. Replayability is low due to all the unskippable pseudo cutscenes. Combat is meh. So far a 7/10 game

F1 23 - finally a good F1 game

Same thing as last week and the week before that. TOTK

I just started both Diablo IV and Star Wars: Jedi Survivor. I haven't spent a ton of time in either of them yet, but I am really liking them so far

played through the Lies of P demo for the second time, feels like a mix of Bloodborne with a dash of Sekiro in the posture system. super generous demo as well, lots to chew on.

Battlebit Remastered. It's now my favorite FPS that isn't TF2 or CSGO

Lost Ark

I've enjoyed it thus far.

Warframe! Super fun.

Disco Elysium Final Cut. Went into it almost completely blind and I'm really into it so far.

Is it already that time of the week? Well, I'm still playing BOTW, Dead Cells on my Switch, Dawn of War Unification mod on the PC, and some Omega Strikers on the side, slowly climbing the ranked ladder. I'm thinking I can make Gold rank before the end of the season.
Also taking a moment to get back into shmups, I popped onto Mushihimesama and Dodonpachi yesterday and I wiped before even the third bosses, I'm super rusty.

I have rediscovered Titanfall 2 and am playing using Northstar. very fun

Vintage Story! It started as a type of Minecraft mod, but was remade as a standalone game. It has a big emphasis on crafting and working your way up the tech tree manually by increasing the tools available to you. Food can be hard to come by in the beginning. The overall story also has a sort-of post-apocalyptic, lovecraftian vibe. Only available on their website, but it's a ton of fun!
