Final fantasy 16! It’s been great so far

Minecraft. New patch is out, so I recently started playing with a couple of friends.

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

My friends and I have been getting back into Team Fortress 2. Still tons of fun after all these years, especially the jump maps

I'm playing Overboard, it's basically a "How to get away with murder" game. It's very fun !

Lately, I've been obsessed with Into The Breach, a mecha vs kaiju strategy game bythe developers of FTL. It's surprisingly challenging, and more similar to chess than any other strategy computer game I've played before.

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.

Just finished Metro Exodus. I think I’m going to dive into Assassins Creed Origins next.

Just started playing Mars First Logistics.

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.

Death Stranding. Bought it a while back, but wasn't in the mood for a more contemplative/atmospheric game then. Now seems to be a good time to appreciate running errands!

I've been playing through Control, which has been pretty fun, but... I just came out of TotK and every other game so far feels a bit... shallower. I don't know how to explain it. I've also been taking breaks into Infinifactory again to finally finish it. Been a while since I've felt the itch for Zachtronics, and it feels good. The mechanical intricacy overshadows that hollow feeling.

What should I play next if TotK has set my bar so high? Will it just fade in time?

Cities Skylines. Auch wenn mich das SIMS artige DLC System nervt und ich sparsam mit Assets umgehen muss, weil sonst mein RAM voll läuft. Spaß macht es trotzdem.

Been going hard on Kenshi as of late. Such an amazingly unique game.

Lord of the Rings Online!

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.

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire

Dead by daylight is having it's anniversary event so largely that, mixed in with BattleBots and some diablo 4

I'm getting batocera configured so all kinds of retro games

I'm working on playing through all the halo games in (in game) chronological order! Finished halo wars, halo reach, last week, and halo CE yesterday and also started on halo 2 yesterday.

Diablo 4 is my bread and butter right now... with a side of Dredge on my Switch.

Souldiers was on sale, and I have been wanting to play the game for a really long time. It got a lot of flack on it's release, because of bugs and performance issues, as well as complaints about difficulty, and class viability.

Well, IDK if the devs had to fix a lot of it or what, but it is in great shape now, and I kinda regret not playing it earlier. This game is fantastic! Great action RPG mechanics, combined with really great encounter design. All set in beautiful pixel art. I think it is kind of a mistake for it to throw you in a hard dungeon right away, and that is turning a lot of people off. But the design of all the encounters had me get through it.

I really like this game, and think the reception it got right off the bat is super unfortunate. I hope the developers aren't discouraged from making something else like this again, and can instead file off the rough edges that made it unpalatable to a large audience. I feel like the quality of the graphics really drew a lot of people in that weren't down for what Souldiers was going for. But it is quickly becoming my favorite metroidvania-ish action platformer RPG.

The outer worlds. Its pretty fun. Though kinds just Fallout with a space theme. Shame you dont get to fly the ship.

Conan Exiles. I've had it in my library for ages but never gave it much thought. I'm having a lot of fun building my fortress and converting the locals to be my thralls.

Got myself a steam deck and what do I play on it? Euro Truck Simulator 2. This game, I tell you, it's so incredibly relaxing and doesn't take a lot of brain power so it's great to relax with while sitting on the couch in the evening. 🤷

Ghostrunner. I had a go at it some time ago, but it didn't really hold my attention. This time it's grabbed me. Super fast-paced and fun action, with an okay story (I'm not finished the story, but so far it feels fairly generic and that it'd building to a pretty obvious reveal) that I'm enjoying. If anyone is a fan of Mirror's Edge, I recommend this game; it's scratching the same itches for me, at least.

Factorio and art of rally

Tears of the Kingdom - I have mostly completed the main story, I just need to whoop Ganondaddy's swole, rehydrated butt.

Mars First Logistics - Fun little Mars-based robit builder.
