Citizen Sleeper (discounted on GOG rn!) is really good. The timed elements are not as stressful as I thought they might be and the overall story is interesting enough to keep me playing. It does feel a bit too easy in the later stages, and I'm afraid I might have made a decision that is gonna end the game for me too early, but otherwise I'm having fun with it, can definitely recommend it if you want a sci-fi story-based / resource management game.

Diablo 4. Mate of mine talked me and another friend to play it and, yeah, he was right: love it. Not the kind of game I’d play alone but it’s brilliant as a laid-back social game (even if I’m getting a bit obsessed, build wise).

I'm playing Satisfactory, there's something really meditative about building an enormous factory on a beautiful world

I got a good deal on Assassin's Creed II and finally figured out how to hook up an x-box controller to my PC (yes, I'm dumb). I never played any of the AC games other than the first one when it originally came out, so I'm excited to get done with work and give it a shot.

Final Fantasy X remake on PS Vita

Elden Ring again after taking a break from it for a while. Exploring new areas, it's fun.

Ori and the Blind Forest. I like the art a lot.

Factorio and art of rally

Playing mostly Honkai Star Rail, and I’m in the middle of a Mass Effect trilogy run - quite literally, since I’m halfway through ME2.

Satisfactory. Still got to complete that last step. And put trains everywhere. Can't seem to help it.

Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. Still. And probably for the next few months ;)

Detroit become human is great! The universe is incredible

Been hard on Diablo 4

and OSRS on the side because the grind never stops!

Dead by daylight is having it's anniversary event so largely that, mixed in with BattleBots and some diablo 4

Currently investing some time back in ESO for a bit to check out the newly released Archanist class... not super impressed so far tbh. I mostly play GW2 these days so coming back into ESO again everything feels super clunky and slow for some reason, yikes. On single player titles, I have been dipping into The Witcher 3 a bit since I recently got a new rig that can run it at top settings, which is nice.

Hardspace:Shipbreaker, ETS2 and some fs 22

Been going hard on Kenshi as of late. Such an amazingly unique game.

I just finished the main story for Bioshock Infinite. What a mind fuck. I'm still tripping over the reveal. I'm gonna be vague here because I don't want to give spoilers. And it seems there are no spoiler tags on lemmy yet.

I can't believe how many hints they gave me that I completely missed. They essentially tell you a couple of times, and I still missed it somehow. I almost want to go back and play it again to see how many hints I missed. I can think of a few off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are more.

Anyway, I'm playing the DLCs now. I enjoyed the first one, but the second one is seeming a bit painful. I really don't like stealth games.

Little bit of Beyond All Reason, little bit of Battle Bit, and lots of Rocket League and PUBG

Finally getting a chance to play through Jedi Survivor.

My friends and I have been getting back into Team Fortress 2. Still tons of fun after all these years, especially the jump maps

The last weeks I played valheim on my own server with some friends. It was so relaxing. But now the newest patch broke all the mods we were using.

So now I play Jak II and wonder how my child self could manage drone of those missions. Damn that game can be hard.

Iron Danger.
It's an indie tactical RPG that's RTWP similar to other CRPGs. But the main feature of it is being able to rewind time to redo actions if they don't work out, so combat ends up being similar to a puzzle as you rewind and reposition or try new attacks.
The downside is that it's linear, and has no items and very little character progression which are what it's lacking the most compared to a typical CRPG, but it's an interesting take on the style of combat.

TotK. Just finished all the shrines.

Age of wonders 4! It's been awhile since I got so engaged with a 4x, and this one's got a pretty decent combat system to boot (turn based tactical).

Final Fantasy XVI, I’m 70% in, and I’m having a real good time.

The story is interesting and keeps you going, not convoluted or opaque like in 13 or 15.

The sidequests are very boring at first, and still mostly fetch quests / fight certain enemies, but they eventually reward you with background story of the side characters, and some of them are pretty good.

The combat keeps throwing you new stuff with a good pace.

The eikon fights are what we can get as close to Asura's Wrath sequel. Every big fights are just hype

Also the music is top notch.

This game is gonna end up as one of my top 3 favorite mainline FF games.

(edit, deleted original post, since I accidentally clicked on post before finished writing)

I'm revisiting the Ratchet & Clank series. I picked up the original 3 games for PS3 at a local game shop, and am trying to 100% all three of them. So far I did so on the 2nd game, and am about to finish that on the 1st game.

Final Fantasy XVI. I'm enjoying it a lot so far, but wouldn't quite say I'm loving it. The lore and world building are really strong.

Been a busy week or two in the house, lots of poorly children.....

But when I do get a chance to play I'm mainlining Bloodborne. I've never played it before but I'm absolutely loving it. Perhaps not as much as Elden Ring or Sekiro, but it's still really hitting that spot.

Warzone II, not proud about It.

Final fantasy 16! It’s been great so far

Eastward

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey on GamePass. I’ve put in so many hours and it’s still not over.

I just started Disney Dreamlight. Really enjoying it, nice and light plus adorable.

Gundam Battle Operation 2. Wanted to see if they fixed the matchmaking, and it's not as bad now.
Chunky heavy robots is my jam but the netcode is terrible...

I finished Persona 5 strikers and started Cult of the lamb... But I'm not feeling it

Sea of Thieves. Always.

I've been working through all the demos I downloaded during Next Fest so I can expand my already overstuffed wishlist. Between that I've been working through my second playthrough of Deltarune, finishing up all the stuff I missed the first time.
