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 started with World of Warships. I played World of Tanks for a long time but not very successfully. Now I wanted to give Ships a go. I´m at level 5 now, which (as I wasn´t aware before) is where you get thrown into real battles with real people instead of the training wheel matchmaking they have up to level 4. I´m starting to get the hang of it though.

Citizen Sleeper (discounted on GOG rn!) is really good. The timed elements are not as stressful as I thought they might be and the overall story is interesting enough to keep me playing. It does feel a bit too easy in the later stages, and I'm afraid I might have made a decision that is gonna end the game for me too early, but otherwise I'm having fun with it, can definitely recommend it if you want a sci-fi story-based / resource management game.

Symphony of the night and Mario 64 on stream baby

Factorio. Way too much Factorio.

Diablo 4 (PC) and I'm finally starting the kingdom hearts franchise I got the big pack thing from the PS store so I'm going to play through those.

Finally getting a chance to play through Jedi Survivor.

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. Just finished it last night. Was hilarious and short. Definitely get on sale though, it's less than 3 hours to 100%.

Iron Danger.
It's an indie tactical RPG that's RTWP similar to other CRPGs. But the main feature of it is being able to rewind time to redo actions if they don't work out, so combat ends up being similar to a puzzle as you rewind and reposition or try new attacks.
The downside is that it's linear, and has no items and very little character progression which are what it's lacking the most compared to a typical CRPG, but it's an interesting take on the style of combat.

I've been playing the original Quake, as well as Deus Ex. I'm not normally a fan of boomer shooters, but Quake has been surprisingly fun and interesting. I realize this might be a complaint for some, but I appreciate the simplified arsenal of weapons. It puts more focus on enemies and the level design, which I appreciate.

Deus Ex is fun, but it hasn't had the moment where it fully clicks for me just yet, like Prey did. I'm still enjoying it, but I'm curious to see if it really grips me like some other immersive sims do.

Been hard on Diablo 4

and OSRS on the side because the grind never stops!

I'm revisiting the Ratchet & Clank series. I picked up the original 3 games for PS3 at a local game shop, and am trying to 100% all three of them. So far I did so on the 2nd game, and am about to finish that on the 1st game.

Elden Ring again after taking a break from it for a while. Exploring new areas, it's fun.

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.

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

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?!?

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.

Ghost Runner. I had a go at it some time ago, but it didn't really hold my attention. This time it's grabbed me. Super fast-paced and fun action, with an okay story (I'm not finished the story, but so far it feels fairly generic and that it'd building to a pretty obvious reveal) that I'm enjoying. If anyone is a fan of Mirror's Edge, I recommend this game; it's scratching the same itches for me, at least.

Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. Still. And probably for the next few months ;)

Satisfactory. Still got to complete that last step. And put trains everywhere. Can't seem to help it.

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.

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

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.

Started playing fallout 4 with a mod collection, I've never played fallout 4 this much, I'm enjoying it a lot .

Caves of Qud & Rain World

TotK. Just finished all the shrines.

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

Detroit become human is great! The universe is incredible

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

Ori and the Blind Forest. I like the art a lot.

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.

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

Sea of Thieves. Always.

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.

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

Noita! Suffering is my fun.

Been getting back into Horizon Zero Dawn! I planned on playing more of it sooner but just wasn't finding any interest until the past couple of days. Also picked up Pokemon Scarlet for the first time in six months to try finding a shiny Gimmighoul in the limited raid event that's happening.

I'm working on playing through all the halo games in (in game) chronological order! Finished halo wars, halo reach, last week, and halo CE yesterday and also started on halo 2 yesterday.

bought Spiderman Miles Morales on Steam last week, but haven't touched it, probably Sun Haven as well
