Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Staring at the clock waiting for Baldur’s Gate to release lol
For a real answer, some Arma III with the boys, some Sea of Thieves with the boys, some Across the Obelisk with the boys…
I only really play co-op anymore it would seem lol.
Still chipping away at Tears of the Kingdom. With a newborn in the house it’s such a great game to pick up for 3 minutes, wander a bit, and put down instantly. Or to play for 2 straight hours while he sleeps on your chest.
Im pretty close to the end but I’m finding myself putting it off as much as possible, leisurely wandering around the map to take on quests or shrines. There is so much to do and see. 120 hours in and it still feels like I’ve barely started it.
Metro Redux was free on Steam so I started that and am not disappointed
Haven’t played the latest but the first two were just amazing. The atmosphere and worldbuilding… I loved wandering in metro stations turned towns, hearing the chatter and activities around me. I think that was most prominent in the second game iirc
Doing a melee only playthrough of Fallout 4 at the moment. First time doing a non shooting playthrough.
I’ve been playing Tin Can lately. Figuring out how to survive each event and deciding what parts to cannibalize is really enjoyable to me. I’m almost up to 25 minutes surviving!
I had really enjoyed the ea of BG3 so I’m pumped to play the full game! After two hours I’m pleased to say I made my character. Lol.
Finished Yugioh the sacred cards just now, and got annoyed they never let you use Winged Dragon of Ra.
Dragons Dogma Dark Arise on my new Linux laptop 😊
For the second time I started to cross the soma, but I had to go somewhere so when I come back I will finish it.
Deep Rock Galactic when I want to play for a few minutes then go back to work.
Final Fantasy when I’m done with work.
And Kingdom Hearts 1 on my mobile when I’m bored but too tired to get on my PC.
Slay the Spire when I want some time off with work/course while I watch videos or podcasts.
CrossCode at night when I’m free. This is my new addiction as I keep thinking about it constantly. Honestly really fell in love with this game almost instantly. Even though the game is like 5 years old, this was my surprise of this year! Shout out to the few CrossCode fans here on Lemmy, we exist!
Elden Ring with the seamless coop mod at night with my friends when they’re available. I’ve already got all the endings with multiple characters but I keep playing because it’s extremely fun with homies, and also because I just want another excuse to keep playing it lmao
I’ve been on my first RDR2 playthrough. Unfortunately once I get to the bank job in StDenis I’m treated to a BSOD every time, as soon as I start the mission. So I alternate with a little Psychonauts, which I also never played before. Real good stuff, old school platforming, just what I love. I grew up on Megadrive then Xbox and I kinda miss the plethora of platformers that released in the day. If anyone has a good (recent) platformer recommendation…
Just got back into Europa Universalis IV yesterday and have been re-addicted to it ever since.
I had been hooked on Crusader Kings III for a very long time, but I realized at some point that I was ignoring all of the roleplay elements and just map-painting, so I decided to play a game that specializes in map-painting.
I’m also having an incredible time playing Battlebit Remastered. I’ve always been intimidated by competitive shooters, but the massive battle sizes and the light-hearted community really bring the game together.
I tried to play Baldurs Gate 3 but for some reason, it runs really poorly on my system so I refunded it. On the plus side, a friend of mine has caught up in Diablo 4 so we played some multiplayer which was great fun.
And I played some Timberborn, which seems fun at least for a while. Probably not a long term game for me though.
After beating Final Fantasy XVI I resubscribed to FFXIV and played the latest patch’s story updates. It’s interesting to go back to XIV after playing what feels in many ways like it’s successor. XVI has problems, but they’re the a subset problems that XIV has, and it shores up so much. My main thing is the almost complete lack of engaging combat scenarios in XIV’s MSQ. There’s so much fun in the endgame that it’s hard to complain too much, but I hope they fix that in Dawntrail.
