Brotato, working on unlocking all the characters
I'm about halfway through Lego Lord of the Rings right now.
They really nailed the Lego game formula on that one. Truly a love letter to Peter Jackson's films and with all the silly Lego game humor. I finally 100%'d it last year, then went right onto Lego The Hobbit (almost as good!).
My son and I played COD Mobile. Domination at Shipment before my dad arrived. We just got these two assault rifles gold, and we started the grind to diamond. Itβs a fun game, without having to pay to win to enjoy.
Phantasy Star (the first one)
Rimworld, and I just found that there are tons of mods for it. I'll likely be playing it for quite a while still.
Cyberpunk 2077
Jackbox Survey Scramble
Basically like Jackbox Family Feud. Was a really fun all-ages activity over the holidays.
Bloodborne
The Sims 3. I had to figure out how to disable OneDrive backup for my Documents folder, because Sims 3 insists on keeping your saves there, and somehow everything breaks if OneDrive tries to sync them. Previously I had given in and let OneDrive sync everything because Win11 nags you if you try to avoid it.
I also have to fiddle with processor affinity to get the game to launch, for some reason.
It still crashes a lot.
Half life 1
Genshin Impact just released a new version that for most of the world became playable on Jan 1, but where I live it started several hours before the end of Dec 31.
So that.
Warframe. trying to get my noob friend up to current content so we can experience 1999 together.
Pikmin
Rise of the Golden Idol
Got a need for nostalgia. Last game was MGS4. Before that, it was THPS1&2.
STALKER 2
Deep Rock Galactic on Dec 30th :)
Fallout 4, just started Whispering Hills and my 100th something playthrough
ARAM in League, a shit game to end a shit year.
Red dead 2
Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Animal Crossing New Horizons. Celebrating New Year on the island are part of our new year tradition.
This also makes it the first game played during 2025.
Boomerang Fu. Played with the kids who enjoyed stomping their parents.
Astro Bot.
Replaying Pillars of Eternity Deadfire.
Hell yeah! I'm trying to finish up the DLC I never got around to before Avowed comes out. Have you checked out the turn-based mode? I like it way better, and I'm surprised it works as well as it does.
I didn't try that. I had been so used to RtwP. I might have to try another run with turn-based!
I'm currently a mindstalker duel-wielding blunderbusses. My previous character (on my way to Ukaizo) is a Scout duel-wielding daggers. I seem to like duel-wielding hmmm
I've pre-ordered Avowed, but will probably wait until the DLC comes out... Hopefully there will be :)

Darkest dungeon
Yakuza 0, first time playing yakuza games an it'sfirst game of 2025
Ghost of Tsushima on the PC. 90 fps (most of the time) 4K.
The gameplay is really to my taste, so I am planning on playing this one for a while.

Lost Odyssey
I brought in the new year playing Fire Emblem: Awakening (which I've been obsessed with after finally getting it working on an emulator). I'd been struggling with lunatic mode but I figured out I can just feed Robin because of the XP boost and then use her to carry the team. Changed her to Pegasus Knight and then Dark Flier and now I can just swoop in and one-shot any enemy and she's over-levelled enough that the enemies won't prioritize her, and if they do, she dodges everything and has enough HP to survive a bow to the face.
The early levels were very challenging and I had to heavily abuse save states but once I got rolling it's been a lot smoother. The two cavaliers you start with literally can't survive a single hit starting out. Since everyone's so vulnerable, you just have to get one unit good asap to avoid relying on your Jagen.
