I've been hopping between a few:
Been playing sims 4 multiplayer mod with my wife.
Booting up StarCraft 2 again with some work buddies.
In my solo time, I just beat what content there is in slime rancher 2, am just deciding what's next on the docket, though I've been itching to play Terraria calamity mod again
Rift Breaker with a side of BattleTech (BTA 2062 mod), CoreKeeper, and some Stoneshard if I want to suffer.
Steam store links for quick info:
I've been playing tears of the kingdom in small spurts and the System shock remake.
I’ve been making my way through the STEINS;GATE 0 visual novel, and I’ve been having a great time. It’s effectively replaced watching TV/anime for me; I turn on my nvidia shield, stream the game, and off I go.
destiny 2, there are no other videogames.
Been playing a moderately modded MechWarrior 5. The game just isn't as fun without the Clans and their cool technology, so I added the “Yet Another Clan Mech” mod which adds them, but now the game gets crashy whenever any Clan 'Mechs show up. Dunno why. Hoping for another MechWarrior game some time soon.
I've been focusing most of my game time on Persona 5 Royal. It is really great. Over the weekend I played the Quarry with my family and wrapped up Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.
swat: aftermath, I will never leave it, there's just too much in it to improve on. Also din's curse, which is the only other game that holds the same charm.
I keep a couple in rotation that I switch between in a session. Right now I'm playing through Arkham City for the first time (I'm a patient gamer) with City Skylines as a backup.
Grinding at the new Savage raids in Final Fantasy XIV until my fingers bleed. I want to see if I can get three clears week one this time!
I'm trying to decide between Dredge, Inscryption, or one of my many other games on Xbox/Steam Deck...
Damn indecision and having too many games to play :(
Tears of the Kingdom and my usual, Team Fortress 2.
How's tears?
Story sucks. Everything else doesn't. Luckily Nintendo knew this was coming and made the B button able to skip a lot of dialogue. Too bad most of the cutscenes aren't skippable unless they repeat.
I should wrap up Pokemon Violet... pretty close to the end of the main story. I'll probably get that knocked out over the weekend. Funnily enough, Nintendo actually sent me an email encouraging me to complete the game which actually asked me if was stuck. Ugh. I've played these games since the very beginning. I know what I'm doing. I'm taking my time because I'm a busy working adult.
I just tried the demo for Tiny Thor - it's a retro platformer and it was gooood. The gameplay is fun and the enemies are unique.
It's releasing soon and I'm looking forward to playing the full version
I've been playing a lot of the Medieval Madness and Han Solo tables in Pinball FX3 on my steam deck. Set up the gyro to allow me to nudge the table and it's really helping me get high scores
I got a second hand xbone at the start of the year so I've got a lot of game pass to try out. I've been playing power wash simulator recently, it's nice and chilled, therapeutic to calm down before bed
I just finished a Civ 5 relapse (can't get 6 to run), so I'm on the new system shock right now.
I highly recommend it. It is both very faithful and much more accessible. More than anything, it perfectly captures the feeling of playing the first game, where it seems that you're just a pest, scurrying around this huge structure trying to defeat something so far beyond you it seems like a mouse trying to kill a whale.
Cyberspace is...kinda boring though TBH. Its faithful, but...meh. I'd recommend playing at 3 combat, 2 puzzles, and 1 cyberspace for a first run.
Got burned out from the Lost Ark grind. Played a bit of GW2, but SWTOR is currently hitting all the right notes for me.
Hoping to hop back into the updated Vision Jet in MS Flight Sim
Darktide. New map drops today. Gotta smash 'em heretics.
We Love Katamari
Tears of the Kingdom, been playing it non-stop. I was playing Roots of Pacha before totk came out and I might take a break to play again this coming week.
I just bought Silica and Gunner, HEAT, PC!, which have both been pretty cool so far. Both are early access games that I wanted to support.
Silica has way more to it than I expected, and I'm excited to play more (hopefully with friends, at some point).
GHPC is sort of like single player (for now) War Thunder, with a pretty cool simulation of Cold War era tanks and ballistics while still being fairly accessible. One interesting thing it does: the tank commander will speak to you (which is where the title of the game comes from), and it will get increasingly more tense and eventually turn into panicked screams, depending on the situation.
I'm playing these on Linux, and I have a weird audio issue with GHPC. Nobody else seems to experience this, and it doesn't happen on my Steam Deck.
