Yesterday finally bought Remnant: From the Ashes on sale after seeing the new one all over Twitch. Played 6h of coop with my brother and hell was it a lot of fun. There seem to be less and less good coop games, but this one does a good job. Of course there are many small issues though (e.g. a memory leak crashing the game every few hours on Xbox lol). Glad there is a second one already waiting after we’re done.
Playing Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on the PC. Bought it on a whim and it’s quite a good game with gorgeous graphics. Lacking polish in some areas though, for example there are many oddly placed invisible walls as well as points where the character can get stuck. Anyway, trying to finish the game before Baldur’s Gate 3 comes out.
I think I’ve been doing the side quest. I just kill absolutely everyone on the map. And explore everything. Am I missing things that way? The way the stealth mechanic works I can basically sneak up past anybody as long as they’re not looking directly at me no problems.
Started the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, after wanting to replay the ME Trilogy for a couple years. Haven’t played them since they originally released.
Just started ME3 yesterday, and it is nice to experience the gameplay changes from 1 to 3 in such a short time. I had completely forgotten how terrible that Mako in ME1 was. Made it almost unbearable for me. The Hammerhead in ME2 was so much better in every way.
Still deep in Tears of the Kingdom, but I am close to 100% of shrines and light roots. Have not even tried fighting Ganon yet, but with my power level it shouldn’t be that tough. Gonna finish it this week and then hop back to Final Fantasy 16, which I binge played release weekend and got over 50% through according to the PS5 progress indicator.
Finished what is available in Techtonica, so went back to Dyson Sphere Program for a bit to work on missing achievements. DSP is definitely my favourite of the Factory-Automation games at this point.
I still have a Factorio (Industrial Revolution 3) game going too, but am feeling DSP more at the moment right now.
I just bought Sun Haven to play with my girlfriend. I’m enjoying it so far, we kinda lost track of time playing lol. Though it seems like whatever job the host has, the players that join will have that job too which kinda sucks. Maybe I messed something up though. It doesn’t seem to matter much because you can kinda just ignore your job and do other things.
I got sucked into playing Witcher 3 again. I swear I’ll finish it this time! I’ve also been playing an early access indy game called Inkulinati, and when I need some mindless kick-ass action, I have my go-to TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge.
I just finished Tears of the Kingdom last week. No spoilers, the final boss fight felt like a dragon ball Z episode. The health bar busting out of its usual bounds and hitting the edge of the screen was a “shit just got real” moment for me and the kids, lots of hype. I didn’t think I would see anything top Breath of the Wild in this generation but glad to be wrong.

Slay the Spire, Mini Metro
Deep Rock Galactic
Beat Saber
Factorio (space exploration) coop
Looking back at this list, I gotta say that it’s a pretty diverse selection.
Just got to 1000hrs on my new Steam account. I am just playing DayZSA, modded hardcore PVE mostly. Rarely, I go back to minecraft.
Final Fantasy XVI. Much more gritty than the others. Just as much angst. Still, I’m enjoying it.
I’m waiting for this one to go on sale. Really enjoyed the demo but I’m in no rush to play it just yet.
Same. Really solid so far. Also glad to not play a giant open world after rdr2 and totk.
I saw Timberborn getting shilled a bit on here so I’ve been checking that out. Lots of fun so far. The droughts keep absolutely wrecking me, though.

Death loop! The game keeps warning me against direct fights, but the AI isn’t great, so direct fights are the fastest way to clear anything
I hear ya, but you’re missing major chunks of side quests and backstory that way. It’s a fantastic story when you play it the way it’s intended.

Ah okay, I thought you were killing the “bosses” without following the story prompts. Sounds like you are following the prompts so ignore me.

I’m about quarter of the way through 2, really enjoying it.
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, a game that hooks a lot.

Factorio again. Maybe one day I’ll move on.
