    I’ve been playing Haste, which is this really cool rougelite runner game. The primary mechanic is altering your in-air angle to land perfectly on the downslope. It’s also a very pretty game with a good soundtrack.

    Fate: The Cursed King, as recommended by the Low Spec Games copypasta.

    Almost finished my chemically-enhanced (ie. weed) playthrough of Xenogears.

      You enjoying the setting ? I have been a 40k fan since around the early 2000s. Love that the Setting has been seeing some VERY faithful and good adaptations.

        Big disclaimer that I knew basically nothing about 40k prior to playing this beyond the surface level stuff you just sorta absorb by cultural osmosis.

        However, the setting and writing is super cool so far. One interesting thing is that the obvious hypocrisy and fascism of the empire combined with the general “everything is turned to 11 at all times” of 40k does a really decent job of nipping a lot of potential lib writing in the bud. There’s simply no room for the “moral high road” libs love hand wringing over in most other cRPGs. There’s also some cathartic quality to the fact that the setting isn’t shy about the fact that the player as the Rogue Trader is directly responsible for untold amounts of innocent deaths and brutal oppression. The exploitative system is on full display, making your violently rebelling against it (inasmuch as you can) all the more satisfying.

    I havent started yet, but I want to play Emperor of the Fading Suns: Enhanced.

    It’s a space 4X game with a planetary layer and a focus on warfare and political machinations, set in a totally-not-Dune/40k-inspired universe. It’s an old game from the 1997, but now it can actually be played without slowdowns. It was very ambitious for its time. Now with stuff like Modding support and cleaner pixels etc.

    Ive been playing rift of the necrodancer. Ive never been one for rhythm games outside of playin rockband with friends when I was a kid but holy shit this game is good. Its got a really good twist on the notes coming down the board in that theyre all lil enemies with varying mechanics. Bats that switch lanes after bein hit, harpies that move two tiles every other beat and a few others.

    Having really simple mechanics changing up the rhythm game formula has just sucked me in

    Horizon: forbidden west. Just got to the “west” after the intro area. It’s a fun open world game, they’ve made combat quite a bit better so far, we’ll see if it last for the fifty plus hours it will take to finish.

    I also finally started satisfactory, and got my factory to the space elevator and recently switched to coal power. I need to setup several more iron mines to really get production capable of building all things I need it seems. At some point I also need to switch to factory flors instead of just building on the ground, but I’ll need to get some materials in order to figure that step out.

    Xenoblade X. I’m 90 hours in and have only just finished the main campaign. I still have a chunk of side missions and affinity quests before the new content.

    I’m rocking a squad of 4x level 60 skells and I’m nearly maxed in all 6 classes.

    The game is so fun

    noita, still haven’t made it very far even tho it feels like i’ve been playing forever. but it doesn’t really get old or tiring, i appreciate how it feels like so many different genres of games i love combined into one cohesive thing

    Hall of Torment on PC and Star of Providence on Switch. Also, experimented with the OpenMW (Morrowind) project and the nostalgia hits a bit too hard. I do love it, though.
