Playing Divinity Original Sin 2 one more time with a couple of friends before Baldur's Gate 3 launches. Aside from that, also been trying out Wildermyth and it's been fun so far.
Diablo 4
I'm off the bike for a few weeks with a right arm radial head fracture after I biffed it hitting a pothole while checking my map, so I'm using it as an excuse to play the Tale Of Two Wastelands mod for Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Trying to see how much of both games I can get through before I'm cleared to bike again.
Finally found time to get into Read Dead Redemption 2 and I must say it's pretty great. Game releases in the past decade have been a conveyor belt of garbage but this one is the exception.
I've been really enjoying Halls of Torment, it's like if Vampire Survivors and Hades had a child.
Darktide.
It's bad and I should feel bad for playing it, but once you get past the absurdly long load times, janky cutscenes, regular crashes and absolute lack of any story or plotline, it's got remarkably addictive gameplay, and it's the only game that actively encourages your inner fanatic to pick up their boltgun and chainsword and KILL THE HERETICS.
It's like finding a kilo of PCP laced weed at the bottom of the dumpster behind the 7-11. I shouldn't like it, and it will probably kill me, but for some reason I can't stop smoking it.
Good old Sid Meier's Civilization - Beyond Earth. I really love this game for it's slow pace and depth.
Jagged Alliance 3. New game from Haemimont (Tropico/Surviving Mars). It's way different than those other two games, but I'm enjoying it so far.
According to Steam Fallout 4, Big Ambitions and Factorio.
as always Guild Wars 2...
Obduction. By Cyan, the studio that made he Myst series. It's an adventure game with intricate puzzles, and it's been blowing my mind for the last few days.
This week I've used the Game Pass availability as an excuse to play through Grand Theft Auto V (and to be reminded of all the reasons I dropped it in the first place). I've also played through The Case of the Golden Idol, which is too goddamn short; I need more puzzles. I've only got one DLC puzzle left and I am going to take it slow and savour it. I'm also a decent way into TOEM and have started on Techtonica because, you know, Game Pass.
I’ve been heavily into iRacing lately. Just upgraded my rig and pedals! When I’m not playing that, I have a Madden franchise with my friends that’s been going for like 20 years in game and that’s been a lot of fun.
Other than that, dipping my toes back into Civ, and trying unsuccessfully to convince my friends to try Barotrauma again…
Like 3 months ago I bought Mi first dedicated graphics card: an used rx570 and, after many years on my list, I grab Black Mesa in discount like 2 weeks ago.. That and doom 2016 are the games I'm into right now...
Finishing up TotK and Pokémon sword. Also replaying dark souls 2.
Apex Legends: Been playing since Season 0 with my SO and brother and I think it's honestly the longest I've ever played a single game. The gunplay just feels so good.
Tears of the Kingdom: Still working my way through it, taking my time exploring. Honestly it's such a great game, but I have to say the resource gathering is getting a little tedious. I like the weapon durability mechanic from the angle of being forced to switch up your fighting style, but I wish there was a way to repair weapons between fights.
Been playing a lot of Binding of Isaac recently. Gotten pretty far too! Just unlocked Ashpits and mausoleum so theres bunch more to do now
Hunt: Showdown!
Exploring the Bayou in my holidays. Enjoying to play in different day- & weather type and it looks nice.
Project Diablo 2 :)
Started Remnant with a few friends, we played about 4 hours and are all dark souls/elden ring vets and were having a really rough go at it... Turns out I forgot I had set the difficulty to apocalypse (the hardest difficulty)...
Didn’t play the first one, but I’m hyped for Remnant 2.
Discovered Remnant 2 last week 😃
It’s not out until the 25th 😕
Early access is available the 21st 🙌🏻
Realizing I’m out out town 20th-23rd 💀
Not playing yet, but I am SO excited for Remnant 2. It's one of the few 3rd person shooter games that I stuck with.
Just beat tears of the kingdom. I think if totk had been released instead of botw it probably would've been one of the best games ever made... But with it being a follow up to botw it just felt way too similar for me to enjoy it. I essentially 100%ed botw so had no desire to just redo it again in totk. Basically just ran through the main story, did whatever side quests were easy, then fought Ganon. In a vacuum it was still a great game but I was sad it was so similar to botw.
Now playing the system shock remake. I beat 2 for the first time a few years ago and loved prey so have been excited to start it. Enjoying it so far for sure.
Master Detective Archives: Rain Code
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Bio Prototype
Bouncing between Xenoblade 2, WoW classic, BotW, and Gregtech. I have little time on weekdays- only an hour or two to screw around before work.
Pokemon Crystal Clear! It's a Crystal romhack that adds in a fuckton of QoL changes and customization. Currently up to 1248 soft-resets, waiting for a shiny Snorlax. Also had to defeat him 250 times to get a chain going that helps with the odds of getting a shiny.
EDIT: Got my shiny Snorlax! Named her Blueberry. c: Strength, Belly Drum, Amnesia, and Defense Curl while holding Leftovers is one hell of an effective moveset.
