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.

I went Diablo 4 to Diablo 3 to Last Epoch currently. Pretty fun so far.

Caves of Qud & Rain World

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.

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

Hardspace:Shipbreaker, ETS2 and some fs 22

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.

Little bit of Beyond All Reason, little bit of Battle Bit, and lots of Rocket League and PUBG

Just started Soma, which was on my Gamepass backlog. What an amazing game! Brilliant. And that comes from someone who's not a horror game fan.

Also playing Overwatch 2. Trying to find a group who plays 8-10pm NZT

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.

Noita! Suffering is my fun.

Final Fantasy X remake on PS Vita

Really enjoying Portal 2

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).

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).

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)

Finally getting a chance to play through Jedi Survivor.

Zelda Minish cap, super mario bros, and some pokemon Gold. just been feeling the childhood games lately

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

I finally upgraded my graphics card to a 4070 Ti, despite the ridiculous pricing (been waiting for over 3 years to upgrade and I've using a GTX 1050 on a 1440p monitor this entire time). Now I'm working through a considerable backlog of GPU-intensive games that I was unable run well or even at all.

Started with God of War and I'm loving it! Next up is Read Dead Redemption 2.

Got Fallout 4 with all the DLC for a steal so I am currently enjoying that. Also Battlebits Remastered on and off again.

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.

Factorio and art of rally

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.

Detroit become human. I find many PS games that got ported to PC are good. Lots of attention to detail. Although some are hard to get into. Can they ever stop talking for a second in persona 5 strikers so we can game a bit?!?

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 ;)

Street Fighter 6! My first fighting game and the controls are difficult af, but I'm enjoying the learning process :)

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.

I'm playing Satisfactory, there's something really meditative about building an enormous factory on a beautiful world

Don't Starve Together. It's ruining my life since a friend gifted it to me.

Installed arma 3 and ksp again. So probably DCS

I just started Disney Dreamlight. Really enjoying it, nice and light plus adorable.

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?

I've been working through all the demos I downloaded during Next Fest so I can expand my already overstuffed wishlist. Between that I've been working through my second playthrough of Deltarune, finishing up all the stuff I missed the first time.

I played Smushi Come Home. It's about a little mushroom making their way home. It's a platformer with some light puzzle elements. Really reminded me of A Short Hike, both in vibes and length. It clocked in at about 3 hrs but was mad cozy.
