I try to fit in a few minutes of Quake III most days.

I was very lucky to be gifted Tears of The Kingdom on release, been playing that for the past month, amazing game.

Age of wonders 3, I'd like to finish it before age of wonders 4 goes on sale.

Satisfactory, restarted for the 4th time, this time in the desert, I've never made it much past oil, but I've gotten really good at getting to oil! This time I'm using platforms everywhere, and it's making traveling/exploring so much easier, but I feel like it's also taken a lot of wonder out of exploration.

Path of exile is always in the background, waiting for me to come back to it. I'm super excited to see what exile con brings.

Playing them all on the deck with Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. The deck has also made other games so much more accessible, skul the hero slayer, dead cells, and hollow Knight I've put more time into than ever on the computer/console.

Don't get as much time as I would like (who does?) But mostly Dwarf Fortress having finished a portal play through.

I'm looking at Deep Rock Galactic to play with my boys as I've got them to promise we will only play together! We all played Valorant for a bit but they can put about 10 times the hours in that I can so they outstripped me long ago!

I've been mostly bouncing between FFXIV and Rimworld.

I do mostly FFXIV and emulation, but just got into RuneScape 3 and it's super fun. I was quite surprised, as it's not a very actiony game, but the questing and style just grows on you.

Tears of the kingdom has finally broke my ftl: faster than light addiction

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Currently about 25-30 hours into Days Gone (ps5) and thoroughly enjoying it.

The moral of that story is a) don't listen to ign b) metacritic user score is more relevant than critic score

Then need to finish Jedi survivor which I quit half way because of the bounty (and various other) bug(s)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Forza Horizon 5's going to have a Barbie crossover soon so that's definitely on my to-play list

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Started Tears of the Kingdom a day before release. Not played anything else since. And the size of this game, it might be a while before I play anything different.

Oceanhorn, while I'm thinking about what my next "real" game will be. Sometimes I like to chill with some low stress little games in between, y'know?

Cassette Beasts (really good if you love Pokemon but are bored of Pokemon and want something a bit different)
Chivalry 2 (mindless stabby fun, but I've gotten to a point where I'm good enough to know I suck but too old and busy to get better)
Runescape (never played as a kid, my friends got me into it earlier this year then they stopped playing lol)
I wish Diablo and Zelda were my answers.

Just completed the latest No Man's Sky expedition... getting close to finishing the main story in the new Zelda. I pretty much tend to play one game at a time until I'm done with it before moving onto the next.

Very much trying to tamp down my hype & excitement for Starfield and Fable... wait, Duke Nukem? Is there a new Duke Nukem?! I used to make maps for DN3D that we'd play over modem (BEEEP BROOOOOP BRRRRRRRR), my friends quickly learned that the high-powered weapon seductively placed on a pedastal with flashing lights was always a squishing trap.

I've been getting back into World of Warcraft the past few weeks. Really enjoying playing solo and just levelling alts instead of the almost second job level of commitment that I used to have when raiding years ago.

Been eyeing that Battlebits Remastered on steam as well - might pick that up as it looks chaotic fun.

Been going back to classics (thanks virtual consoles), currently doing the lost super Mario bros 3 card levels.

I've been playing Far Cry 3 on the ps4 (my first Far Cry game, alternating between really enjoying it and tearing my hair out at the janky "platforming") and nearly finished Terra Nil on PC, been revisiting Frostpunk a little bit too. But mainly I'm wondering if the upcoming FF16 release will be the excuse I need to finally buy a PS5 (•̯͡. •̯͡ )‎​

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aside from FC3: Blood Dragon, you're probably playing the best game in the series hands down. Enjoy it, there's nothing else quite like it (every subsequent game felt like a cheap copy of FC3)

Playing Diablo IV! Just finished the somewhat lackluster campaign which is definitely a prologue to something much more grand coming in the future expansions. But nobody really plays it for the story, right...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Been holding off due to the price and amount of friends who said they already beat it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is indeed quite expensive but considering how many hours I have played Diablo 2 and 3 as well as the extreme replayability of D4, the price per hour is actually low in my case. If you like the Diablo gameplay, it's a lot of fun!

My newest minor obsession has been Dungeon Defenders 1, though I wish I was playing Ace Combat 7.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Is that game still going? I remember when dd2 came out, I played it for a bit and it fouled my taste so much that I never went back to dd1, I had hundreds, if not a thousand, hours in dd1.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Slowly going through Stray and Disco Elysium. I have like 30 minutes a week to spend on gaming 😥

Me too. Small children or something else keeping you busy?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Same situation. Stray great game for picking up and putting down on the deck

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Really enjoying Diablo 4 at the moment, first game in a while that I can spend more than an hour playing before getting bored. Also been playing Chivalry 2 occasionally with friends just for some light hearted fun.
