In between my spikes of melancholy, isolation and loneliness I'm currently playing Tekken 8. The game can be extremely frustrating and unfair but I don't have anything else to play and I'm running out of money so I won't buy anything else this year. WWE 2k24 has been a disappointment this year, cyberpunk was a disappointment, stardew valley has been a disappointment. Warframe, another disappointment, that game feels that has no real direction or sense of progress.

Seems like modern games aren't good anymore (I guess stardew valley isn't new but whatever).

The only decent modern decent game I played this year is Re4remake...

I was planning of buying the new Spider-Man game, but after seeing the promotional material, it turned me off.

I'm playing For the King and No Man's Sky pretty much exclusivily for the last few weeks. I only get a couple hours a week so its not much. For the King is a fun game. Easy to learn very difficult to master. The game isn't really anything special but it does have it own spice that makes it fun to come back to. I'll either make a few attempts to play through a quest and then drop it for a year or something and then come back to it again for a few weeks. Maybe I will buy For the King 2 ....

No Man's Sky is probably one of my all time favorites. I don't really do any base building but I really just love the "get in my spaceship and go where I want!" type freedom. I have played the same save for hundreds of hours, just recently completed the latest Expedition. Its fun to play a game that lets you take your main character into a new game mode that shuffles up everything and then when your done you can go back to the regular world with a bunch of your new loot.
