Hogwarts Legacy.
I kinda stopped playing since it came out I was so busy with university.
Now that I’m finished I can finally pick it up again!!
Also apex legends on the side. I don’t know what it is about the game but I can’t stop playing it, even though it just pisses me off lol
Anyone else can relate?
I need to start up Hogwarts again soon. I’ve been so distracted by other games that it fell on the wayside even though I was loving it.
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.
Into the Breach is GOATed with the SAUCE baby god I love everything by that team. Can't wait to see what they make next. I've put hundreds of hours into it across platforms despite being not the best at it haha
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.
Diablo 4. Mate of mine talked me and another friend to play it and, yeah, he was right: love it. Not the kind of game I’d play alone but it’s brilliant as a laid-back social game (even if I’m getting a bit obsessed, build wise).
Final Fantasy X remake on PS Vita
BattleBit Remastered
Such a fun game to chill out and just shoot things. Its nice that I can change the feel of the game so much by playing on different server sizes and the choice of weapons is nice.
I went Diablo 4 to Diablo 3 to Last Epoch currently. Pretty fun so far.
Satisfactory. Still got to complete that last step. And put trains everywhere. Can't seem to help it.
Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. Still. And probably for the next few months ;)
Elden Ring again after taking a break from it for a while. Exploring new areas, it's fun.
I'm playing Satisfactory, there's something really meditative about building an enormous factory on a beautiful world
I got a good deal on Assassin's Creed II and finally figured out how to hook up an x-box controller to my PC (yes, I'm dumb). I never played any of the AC games other than the first one when it originally came out, so I'm excited to get done with work and give it a shot.
Age of wonders 4! It's been awhile since I got so engaged with a 4x, and this one's got a pretty decent combat system to boot (turn based tactical).
The last weeks I played valheim on my own server with some friends. It was so relaxing. But now the newest patch broke all the mods we were using.
So now I play Jak II and wonder how my child self could manage drone of those missions. Damn that game can be hard.
My friends and I have been getting back into Team Fortress 2. Still tons of fun after all these years, especially the jump maps
Don't Starve Together. It's ruining my life since a friend gifted it to me.
I've been playing the original Quake, as well as Deus Ex. I'm not normally a fan of boomer shooters, but Quake has been surprisingly fun and interesting. I realize this might be a complaint for some, but I appreciate the simplified arsenal of weapons. It puts more focus on enemies and the level design, which I appreciate.
Deus Ex is fun, but it hasn't had the moment where it fully clicks for me just yet, like Prey did. I'm still enjoying it, but I'm curious to see if it really grips me like some other immersive sims do.
Some fallout: New Vegas, hoping to buy subnautica: Below Zero when it goes on sale
Way late, but Ori and the Blind Forest. Massive Metroid fan, was disappointed in how clunky Hollow Knight's movement felt. But Ori is definitely scratching that fluid-movement itch.
Also, watching my wife play Ocarina of Time for the first time. Pure bliss
Caves of Qud & Rain World
Little bit of Beyond All Reason, little bit of Battle Bit, and lots of Rocket League and PUBG
Currently investing some time back in ESO for a bit to check out the newly released Archanist class... not super impressed so far tbh. I mostly play GW2 these days so coming back into ESO again everything feels super clunky and slow for some reason, yikes. On single player titles, I have been dipping into The Witcher 3 a bit since I recently got a new rig that can run it at top settings, which is nice.
Ori and the Blind Forest. I like the art a lot.
Iron Danger.
It's an indie tactical RPG that's RTWP similar to other CRPGs. But the main feature of it is being able to rewind time to redo actions if they don't work out, so combat ends up being similar to a puzzle as you rewind and reposition or try new attacks.
The downside is that it's linear, and has no items and very little character progression which are what it's lacking the most compared to a typical CRPG, but it's an interesting take on the style of combat.
Hardspace:Shipbreaker, ETS2 and some fs 22
Dead by daylight is having it's anniversary event so largely that, mixed in with BattleBots and some diablo 4
Factorio and art of rally
Been hard on Diablo 4
and OSRS on the side because the grind never stops!
I'm getting batocera configured so all kinds of retro games
bought Spiderman Miles Morales on Steam last week, but haven't touched it, probably Sun Haven as well
Final Fantasy XVI, I’m 70% in, and I’m having a real good time.
The story is interesting and keeps you going, not convoluted or opaque like in 13 or 15.
The sidequests are very boring at first, and still mostly fetch quests / fight certain enemies, but they eventually reward you with background story of the side characters, and some of them are pretty good.
The combat keeps throwing you new stuff with a good pace.
The eikon fights are what we can get as close to Asura's Wrath sequel. Every big fights are just hype
Also the music is top notch.
This game is gonna end up as one of my top 3 favorite mainline FF games.
(edit, deleted original post, since I accidentally clicked on post before finished writing)
Playing mostly Honkai Star Rail, and I’m in the middle of a Mass Effect trilogy run - quite literally, since I’m halfway through ME2.
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.
Started playing fallout 4 with a mod collection, I've never played fallout 4 this much, I'm enjoying it a lot .
Monster Hunter: Rise on Switch. Planning on playing Bow since I main Lance.
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. Just finished it last night. Was hilarious and short. Definitely get on sale though, it's less than 3 hours to 100%.
