I don't play games as much as I used to, but I had a lot of fun recently with Carrion - you play an alien hive mind eating scientists and fighting security through an Area 51 style facility.

I finished Baldur's Gate 3, so i fell in the post-great-game melancholy. I reinstalled Hades and Stardew Valley, but ya know

Kerbal Space Program 2. The new For Science! update finally made the game fun and performant! And because I suck at the game, I needed to send 4 rescue missions to return Valentina from the Mun.

I just finished Stray. I'm not really a cat person but it was actually really enjoyable. Turns out cats are great platformers!

I also finished Strange Horticulture yesterday. That was a pleasant surprise especially since it was set in the Lake District.

I'm now trying to decide between starting Baldur's Gate 3 (I am not a fan of turn based combat), Immortality or The Talos Principle 2.

I started up Cult of the Lamb more seriously. I had it at launch, but it didn't hold my attention between Hades for the roguelite action and RimWorld for the colony stuff.

But I'm currently bored of those two, so I'm playing this. Shit was getting frustrating with the gains for going and doing the dungeons... Until I learned that I wasnt actually cooking all my fish and had tons of fish meant to be sold. Money solved literally all my problems. Just like it would in real life 😭

Against The Storm. It's a surprisingly addictive game.

Just finished the Alan Wake Remaster. Really hated it, but apparently that is an unpopular opinion. I just felt like the story is not as innovative as people say and the mechanics are the same from the start to the finish.

I’m now playing Dredge. Really enjoying that game right now. I’m traveling so my Steam Deck is getting some use. I’ll be switching between Dredge and Cult of the Lamb while I’m away.

Baldurs Gate 3 still. 3rd run, this time Tactition. Next run on Honor. Still a banger.

I'm playing Assassin's Creed Mirage. It's a nice change from the gigantic 100 hour open world epics that the series makes now and it's a very nice looking and sounding game. The story is fairly standard for AC games (although there's no Animus/modern day storyline this time), and the gameplay feels like what AC1 would have been if they made it today. Overall I am enjoying it a lot. I haven't been able to play video games for the past month because I've been recovering from a major surgery but this has been a nice game to start up now that I can play games again.

Hollow Knight

Top notch

Playing through hades and now I get the hype. Super fucking fun

I love cult of the lamb I got it on my switch and I genuinely think it's a perfect game for handheld

Cause you can easily pick it up and play it a little and set it down

But also engaging enough to sit down and play it on your TV

Plus the combination between rouge like and base building is honestly amazing

INSIDE absolutely blew me away a few months ago, and I got a recommendation for Little Nightmares in a discussion about it. After about half an hour, I've gotta say, it's properly weird and I wonder what's it got in stock for me.

Playing through my backlog, and finally gathered enough courage to play and finish Soma, and now I'm going through the Turing Test since I felt in the mood for a Portal-like game and I finished the Entropy Center not long ago.

I'm currently playing one of the games in Last Call BBS: 20th Century Food Court.

For anyone familiar with the Zachtronics catalog of games it's like someone bolted one of the programming games onto one of their factory games, but the programming part is done using cables. Unsurprisingly, programming with cables gets quite messy, so even after a short break I usually have to restart a puzzle because I don't recognize what part was supposed to do what anymore.

So yeah, great game, would recommend.

I've been playing the Mario RPG remake. I remember loving the game as the kid, but as I get to each part of the game I'm like "Damnit, I hate this level!", and it happens over and over again and I'm like "wait, why do I like this game? I hate this game."

With that said I'm still playing it because I'm almost done with it so I may as well finish it.

It's easier than I remember, but I also played the original when I was like 10 years old, so maybe it used to be more difficult because I wasn't as good at video games when I was 10.

I'm excited to finish it because I have an OLED Steam Deck on the way, and I'm trying to sort out what I'm going to play first. Any suggestions for controller friendly games that run well on the deck? I think Dave the Diver is near the top of that list. I'm not to keen on playing first person shooters with joysticks, that's what my PC is for.

Just recently started playing rimworld and I'm super hooked. Trying to complete the game vanilla first then dive into modding

Just finished Full Void, a pixel graphics cinematic puzzle platformer in the style of Another World. Cool original soundtrack, nice style and animation, great atmosphere and world building despite no words.

2 hours long main story, cool indie project with great attention to detail. Well worth the money.

If you play it you will be surprised who it is dedicated to, as you can read at the end of the game.

Got Sunkenland this sale and been playing it over the weekend. Base building survival type game, still early access but pretty fun with friends

Playing SCUM with old friends and having a blast. Game is beautiful, enjoying base building, killing zombies, exploring the map, and fighting for loot.

It's really messing up my sleep schedule (and adult responsibilities) though.

Doom/Skyrim solo, CSD3/Spiral Knights/CoDBO3 in coop

Pretty sad that BO3 is in a buggy state that will make the game stutter or worst case murder your FPS. Also wished the Zombies DLC would get cheaper after almost 10 years.

simcity 4, somehow

Coaltown needs more commuters, that smog isnt going to make itself. Agrarville needs more land for crops, which sucks for all of the residents who i think i'll drop a natural disaster on top of. Industopia needs more cashflow for a harbor, and the city planning advisor will never shut up about adding more rail and road connections.

Fun times.

WoW classic season of discovery! It's my first time playing classic and I've been having a lot of fun. Just hit 25 the other day and starting world PVP, so much fun at these low levels.

Cyberpunk 2077 phantom liberty. It's really good, like, better than most of the story in the vanilla game. It's a really cool detective story that really fleshes out V's character.

I just resumed playing Yakuza 7 after a few months of not playing anything. It's a cool game but requires some levelling grinding apparently.

In previous Yakuza games I would just proceed to boss fights as a underlevelled character sometimes, but in Yakuza 7 it doesn't cut it.

A bunch of celeste (pico-8) ROM hacks, such great platforming

WoW Classic: Season of Discovery, and I recently started my second playthrough of Satisfactory now that Update 8 is out.

Finished the New Game Plus for Alan Wake 2 (PS5) and got the platinum. Now i am back on Grime (PC) which is fun. I like how I dont lose all my money when i die. Also, im actually not bad at parrying here like i am in most games.

I also bought some games from the Steam Winter Sale. Started Overboard and Word Factori.

Playing the invincible, try to go in without looking into the story too much. I'm liking it so far.

Getting back into Monster Hunter World! Trying to tackle those endgame Iceborne quests and getting my ass kicked quite often. It's really satisfying getting a good build going with armor set bonuses and stacking skills.

Also finally playing Super Mario Odyssey. What a game. The controls are so tight and responsive. I love exploring every nook and cranny, high and low, and almost always getting some kind of reward out of every effort and idea.

I played Everything today. That was both hilarious and wonderful. Like Proteus and Mountain it's definitely not a game for everyone, but if some silliness and philosophy doesn't scare you away, you're probably going to enjoy it.

Edit: If you'd rather just watch it as a short film, then that's possible too: https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/SrNsE3Jo-dYsrOfVj or you can let the game play itself for you if you'd rather just lean back and take it all in. Just leave the game unattended for a while and it will start playing itself. Settings for autoplay can be edited in the game's settings menu.

I'm nearing the end of El Paso, Elsewhere. It's a pretty cool game. The story is better than I expected.
