I’ve been playing Subnautica Below Zero. Loved the first game and I’ve been meaning to try the second for ages. Nice and relaxing expect when it isn’t.

Well for me it is actually Baldurs Gate 3! I just beat Jedi survivor last night and now have moved on to the zeitgeist that is this game
Do you usually try to play games that are new and part of The Discourse? I'm more of a patient gamer, so the mindset of chasing the latest game is a little foreign to me.

I've recently been trying to get back into Guild Wars 2, with the new expansion that came out.
Trying to learn Dark Souls 3. 20 hours in and finally getting used to the controls. Beat the second boss with 2 deaths so feeling a tiny bit less despair for now.
I've been going back to The Witcher 3 to play the DLCs.
I finished Hearts of Stone and started Blood and Wine. I really enjoyed the former, but the change of atmosphere and setting of the latter is simply something else and it feels like a new game with how much content there is!
Metro 2033 and Have a Nice Death
The OG Splinter Cell. I modded my original Xbox not top long ago and am looking to play games on it so it wasn't a waste so I figured why not give it a try?
I am enjoying it so far but I'm used to playing the new Hitman games where the AI is rather predictable and I can gun my way out of most situations. I just beat the Kalinatek level and feel like I need to finish the game at this point.
I don't know if I need to play one game after the other to full understand the overall plot or what game I should stop at if I just want to play the best in the series.
Not sure if I'll play Baldur's Gate 3 because I own the first two on multiple systems and haven't beaten them

I started Convergence. It is pretty entertaining and also somewhat challenging on highest difficulty.
As someone who almost always plays mouse and keyboard on PC, I had a few struggles with Convergence feeling like it was made console-first.
I understand why, but it just makes me want to go play Hollow Knight or something.
I had the same behaviour, I played everything with mouse and keyboard. Dead Cells, Assassins Creed, Sekiro, Dark Souls, etc. Then with Elden Ring I gave the controller a try just to see how it is, and it worked flawlessly. I think it is just about with what you to a game first.
Elden Ring m&k was a million times better of an experience than original Dark Souls on m&k. What a nightmare.
I think I just expect metroidvanias to feel snappy and robust, and Convergence on m&k did not live up to that standard.
In the end game of Tears of the Kingdom. The systems for collection are really obtuse. I'm pretty sure I have all of the Shrines, but still missing a couple of hearts. Also have to look around for quest starters by teleporting all over
I'm also in the end game part, trying to max out my hearts before putting the game away. I've been using Mapgenie.io to help me figure out what Shrines I don't have. While I love the exploration and the sensor+ helps point you in the right direction, I just want to wrap this one up soon to get to other games in my backlog.

Not a new game, but I've been replaying Undertale as part of a large randomized multiworld. Every item or big event I unlock turns into a random item or unlock for somebody else's game. And random items in their games are sent to me as random items in mine (or another game). It's called Archipelago, it's really fun and there are games you wouldn't expect to be supported (like The Witness). It's called Archipelago.
Oh cool! I've been really wanting to try out Archipelago but the setup for it all seems pretty involved. Still really want to give it a try sometime
I've been jumping between Genshin Impact (Fontaine recently released), Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and Baldur's Gate 3. I haven't made much progress in Genshin or BG3 because I'm having so much fun in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk lol
- I stopped playing Time Warpers, it's an idle FPS game. The game is fun, but sadly there's not enough interesting progressions to get me thru 500 levels. Most important for me, is that I've managed to play the game comfortably with a left-handed trackball (Kensington Expert placed on left hand side), since I've shifted from right handed mouse couple of months ago. I rarely play FPS, but the game was easy and comfortable enough that I can enjoy the experience with a trackball.
- Armored Core 6. The first AC game for me. While I do enjoy the battles, the mech movement can be a bit slippery, I've just switched to reverse joint legs, maybe it will feel better. The story is interesting, but I kinda wish the character banters are more like in Ace Combat 7, bit livelier, with character portraits. I'm enjoying the game very much
