Gaming

I usually play a lot of new indie and old AAA games but rn the biggest time sink is Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. As anti-consumer as Nintendo is, they know how to make quality halo games.

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.

Kena Bridge of Spirits. I'm so glad I tried this game. It's quite good. The gameplay is similar to Horizon Zero Dawn and the story line touches the heart. I grabbed it free using PS plus premium.

Forgive Me Father. I rarely play shooters these days but this one is a quite pleasant for short sessions so far with just a tad of old doom-like tactics, but more streamlined, and has nice aesthetics too

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

Been playing Stardew valley and Slay the spire while watching tv/movies on a second monitor. It's a pretty engrossing way to spend your free time.

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.

Eventually I’ll get around to actually doing the main quests in Tears of the Kingdom…but for now it’s just shrines and caves and aimless wandering.

Started playing OpenTTD again after many years, forgot how engaging the game can be!

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.

I've been playing The Division 2 and I'm really enjoying it. I stopped playing for a few years, and now I've managed to stop the game crashing every 5 minutes, it's really good fun.

Destiny 2: The new season feels fantastic.

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.

I've started a new playthrough of cyberpunk after putting about 50 hours into Street fighter this week.

Figured with the new Cyberpunk DLC coming out it was time to return to it. I played about 3-4 different endings on release so looking forward to going back to it.

Solasta - Crown of the Magister cRPG trying to replicate the feel of tabletop RPG as well as possible IMO they did it really well ! Not everything is perfect of course, and it's more combat-centered than my tabletop experience, but I'm really enjoying this first playthrough (playing in coop with a friend).

Divinity - Original Sin 2 RPG with a turn-based combat system, a somewhat open world and interesting storylines I stopped playing on normal and started again on tactician, I was getting bored by the fights becoming too easy during act 2.

After much fun with World of Tanks, I discovered World of Warships for me this week. In which I have quite a bit more luck than with the tanks I must say. Not once have I been blind-spotted and then fired upon by 5 enemies I couldn't even see yet

Also I tried MotoGP 23 but for the life of me, I can't get that bike to stay within the track limits. Most laps are relatively fine otherwise but these track limits keep invalidating my time.

I've played bursts of Hades throughout the day, and that'll probably continue during the week. I'd been neglecting it for a while but it feels like it's suddenly clicked and I've now made it to the final area/boss. So close! It's also a great one to play during work breaks on the Steam Deck.

Besides that, TOTK has been a fun one to dip into a little bit each day. I love going in with an objective in mind, then getting distracted for an hour on something completely unrelated (mostly blowing myself up by mistake or accidentally sending koroks to their deaths).

On the weekend I was playing Cross Code but I put that aside for my vacation.
I don't have much time after work at the moment, so I found a really strange game called Sally can't sleep. Digging the atmosphere. Gameplay is a bit wonky and frustrating but I love just to roam around. But I can imagine that it's too strange for most people.

I'm trying Red Faction Guerrilla again cause I couldn't get into it before cause I remember the start being fine but somewhere later on i just dropped off cause i wasn't sure if was very hard or just me not playing the game right

Killing Floor 2. If anyone is looking for a chill game to genuinely shut your brain off, it couldn't be more perfect imo.

Still trucking away at Tears of the Kingdom. Looking forward to Final Fantasy XVI in a few days! The demo was amazing.

Devast.io, Minecraft, Battlefront 2. all great games

Diablo 4 ! The grind is more fun with a team

In addition to the new Zelda, I’ve been playing a lot of Super Mario Bros 3. That game holds up so much better than the original.

The Elder Scrolls Online. I dig the new Arcanist class, and I also have a Nightblade that has a jackal as his pet. Both are fun.

Spider-Man Remastered on Steam. I haven't played a Spider-Man game since the original. It's really fun, but it does have performance problems.

Age of Empires 2 DE. That is my go to game and I currently play through all the campaigns. There are so many, it is great!

I've broken my winning streak, and found my way back into Eve Online again. This time I'm in Faction Warfare, which actually seems like fun, and not an eternal blobfest all over the place.
