Last act of Baldurs Gate 3. Damn, does this game have a ton of stuff in it.

The third act is a bit of a disappointment though, compared to the first two. Not necessarily the storylines, or environment, but parts just seem unfinished, more glitches and bugs with quests, which is par for the course for Larian games I guess. It's still great, and I'm thinking about doing a second playthrough eventually, but probably not before the Definitive or Enhanced Edition release in a year or something.

I hope to finish it in the next couple of days, then play the recently released Quake 2 Enhanced release as a palate cleanser, before jumping into the next bigger game.

Besides the obvious BG3, I picked up Book of Hours yesterday and spent the day playing it. It's a very cozy puzzle game

Mostly Palia this week, with a little Hexceed. Need to get back to TOTK soon.

Well for me it is actually Baldurs Gate 3! I just beat Jedi survivor last night and now have moved on to the zeitgeist that is this game

Trying to learn Dark Souls 3. 20 hours in and finally getting used to the controls. Beat the second boss with 2 deaths so feeling a tiny bit less despair for now.

I finally started looking into emulating on my phone, so I've been playing some games from my childhood. Mostly Alleyway and Pokemon Red, with a little Harvest Moon thrown in.

I'm trying to get the last few cards in the pokemon trading card game on switch, I've been cheating with the rewind feature which has made life slightly less painful but it seems to pre calculate your coin flips so not as powerful as it could be, also played some tabletop simulator and started doing dragon riding races in WoW as part of that event. It's been a crazy year for releases so it's nice having some downtime

Been slowly picking away at Blue Reflection Second Light. It’s nice and chill, and neat that the first game’s subtext of girls love isn’t subtext anymore.

Also been playing some Gundam EXVS Maxiboost On with a friend. Slowly getting our bearings and it’s neat how every session our play improves, as does our coordination.

I’ve been playing Subnautica Below Zero. Loved the first game and I’ve been meaning to try the second for ages. Nice and relaxing expect when it isn’t.

I've recently been trying to get back into Guild Wars 2, with the new expansion that came out.

The OG Splinter Cell. I modded my original Xbox not top long ago and am looking to play games on it so it wasn't a waste so I figured why not give it a try?

I am enjoying it so far but I'm used to playing the new Hitman games where the AI is rather predictable and I can gun my way out of most situations. I just beat the Kalinatek level and feel like I need to finish the game at this point.

I don't know if I need to play one game after the other to full understand the overall plot or what game I should stop at if I just want to play the best in the series.

Not sure if I'll play Baldur's Gate 3 because I own the first two on multiple systems and haven't beaten them

Not a new game, but I've been replaying Undertale as part of a large randomized multiworld. Every item or big event I unlock turns into a random item or unlock for somebody else's game. And random items in their games are sent to me as random items in mine (or another game). It's called Archipelago, it's really fun and there are games you wouldn't expect to be supported (like The Witness). It's called Archipelago.

I started Convergence. It is pretty entertaining and also somewhat challenging on highest difficulty.

In the end game of Tears of the Kingdom. The systems for collection are really obtuse. I'm pretty sure I have all of the Shrines, but still missing a couple of hearts. Also have to look around for quest starters by teleporting all over

• I stopped playing Time Warpers, it's an idle FPS game. The game is fun, but sadly there's not enough interesting progressions to get me thru 500 levels. Most important for me, is that I've managed to play the game comfortably with a left-handed trackball (Kensington Expert placed on left hand side), since I've shifted from right handed mouse couple of months ago. I rarely play FPS, but the game was easy and comfortable enough that I can enjoy the experience with a trackball.

• Armored Core 6. The first AC game for me. While I do enjoy the battles, the mech movement can be a bit slippery, I've just switched to reverse joint legs, maybe it will feel better. The story is interesting, but I kinda wish the character banters are more like in Ace Combat 7, bit livelier, with character portraits. I'm enjoying the game very much

I've been jumping between Genshin Impact (Fontaine recently released), Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and Baldur's Gate 3. I haven't made much progress in Genshin or BG3 because I'm having so much fun in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk lol
