Chained Echoes, some great fights in this game

Asseto Corsa Competizione, back into it after a while. Working on my new profile's safety rating to be eligible for some leagues. The newer cars are fun, but I keep getting taken out by lower rank players which is making progress slow.

I will probably load up Transport Fever 2 this weekend. I got it on Summer Sale and really enjoyed the 2-3 hours or so I've put into it so far.

Should probably squealeze in some Diablo 3 but not very motivated. Also, very excited for Baldur's Gate 3 finally coming out. Gonna Bard it up!

I wanted so badly since last year to play the whole god of war series, but I don't have much time. So every time I have off from work, it is my mission to progress in the series! I started god of war (PS4) yesterday, and wow, it's amazing (I loved them all though until now, but the old series is more about fun and the new one much deeper and full of emotions).

Testing out the new WoW talent system and likely will swap back to private servers while I wait for one called Project Epoch. That and Skyrim on switch or Among Us if my kids make me play with them.

I just finished The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos. It was fun. Nothing groundbreaking, but an entertaining turn-based party-based rpg, with an emphasis on tongue-in-cheek humor. I recommend it if you like that sort of thing.

Finally picked up God of War last week on sale, so I've started that now for the first time. Liking it so far after just around 2-1/2 hours, and looking forward to seeing how it unfolds.

I recently finished Storyteller. It's a short game and you can finish it in a day, but boy does it look gorgeous and boy does it keep your noggin activated.

Hotline Miami! It's a blast!

Ys 8. My first Ys game and damn it is awesome..

Picked up a copy of battlebit 2 weeks ago. Managed to get maybe one hour in so far.

DCS, mostly. It's a real learning curve from first getting your jet started, to flying and shooting at other people.

I don’t see it here so I’ll say Gran Turismo 7 with the PSVR 2 and I have a really nice wheel and seat mount. It’s the best sim racing experience I’ve had to date.

Started playing through Far Cry 6 w a friend

I’ve been playing Helldivers. Local 2 player co-op with an additional +2 online. Arrowhead, if you can hear me, please let the sequel have this as well. The multiplayer/co-op is what has given this game its longevity. It’s so much fun plain and simple!

Flip-flopping between Minecraft Bedrock and Techtonia. The latter just came out and i'm struggling my way through it

Well, originally my plans were to check out the newly launched Season 1 of Diablo 4, but the news on that has been very... whelming to say the least. I haven't crossed it off the list yet, but it surely won't have any sort of priority for me.

I'll probably be trying to spend a little bit of time in Destiny 2 for the Solstice event, but that also depends - past versions of it were incredibly grindy and I'm already a bit burnt out on D2.

Other than that, I've been having fun kicking back and playing the American and Euro Truck sim games, while listening to a podcast or having a TV show playing on the second screen. No time limited events, no pressure, and how much "grinding" I want is completely up to me. It's a quite nice change of pace from the live-service model of recent games.

Street Fighter 6! Looking forward to Remnant 2 though. The first was a sleeper hit with me.

Any map-staring enthusiasts? I've been playing Europa Universals 4 lately.

Started as Ethiopia, got up to Egypt before the Ottomans but they got Syria. I got all of the Arabian Peninsula and nearly all of East/Central Africa, but I've been so behind in tech that I can't actually challenge the Ottos (kept them at bay by allying a strong Poland/Commonwealth). Finally, around 1600 I'm caught up and about to start making my final push towards Constantinople.

Just started Dave the Diver, about 15 hours in. It has a fair bit of content and the "mini games" don't feel too out of place.

Also felt the itch to spin up a new minecraft mod pack instance, so I started feed the factory, a mod pack inspired by factorio. Encourages you to build big systems in bulk with rows and rows of massive machines. Very satisfying. I also hate dealing with mobs, and the mod pack is basically in peaceful mode, focusing primarily on building, so it's right up my alley.

it's a lot of 7d2d lately, with the new updates that hit recently. not a super huge fan of some of the changes to progression, but it's at least reignited my interest in wasting another 800 hours smackin tress and shooting zombies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Elden Ring. Vyke's War Spear and Madness only run. You can get the spear without a single fight.

A bit of Oxenfree II. It's good so far. Their previous game Afterparty was a pretty limp experience IMO, but they've won me back. It's been a weirdly nostalgic time and the writing is solid. It leans on much of the lore of the first title, which means the mystery isn't so interesting this time around. But we'll see how it goes, it might surprise me.

I just beat aliens: dark descent. I thought it was pretty descent overall. Its kind of a real time strategy with slowmo or pause. It feels a lot like xcom but not turn based and honestly just less tactical overall as you can't issue individual commands, only commands to the whole squad. With that being my main criticism, I still enjoyed it as it did the Aliens feel pretty good, although parts of the plot were pretty silly. 7/10.

XCOM2 and PGA Tour and watching my wife post Skyrim.
