Currently playing a lot of Minecraft with my daughter and her boyfriend. Have set up a server so we can pop in and out when we want to. Having a blast.
Also playing started playing sea of stars. Beautiful game and excited where it will go.
And there is always time to play another round of enter the gungeon!
Working through the new Guild Wars 2 expansion. Once I’m done with that, it’ll probably be back to Baldur’s Gate 3, though that might change if it takes me long enough that the new Cyberpunk DLC is out.
I’m replaying Dark Souls 2 SOTFS with a couple buddies. Have also been playing Dark and Darker which is an incredible early access pvpve dungeon crawler.
Oh cool! I’m also replaying that, kind of. I completed the original and this is my first time with SOTFS. I’m loving all the changes so far. Feels so fresh but also familiar. I’m also trying a magic build for the first time. I usually favour dex.
Awesome! Same here actually, played the original when it came out and this is my first time playing through Scholar. Far out, I’m trying out my first sorcerry build, and usually default to str. Subclassing dex so I can use short blades in my off hand
Got Gotham Knights on sale. After all the patches, it seems to be pretty stable and so far I’m enjoying it. It’s certainly not amazing, but for $15aud it’s pretty good. Also trying out SYNCED and I like the aesthetic so far, but gameplay/controls are a bit mushy. It also runs like a dog with pretty inconsistent FPS.
I recently discovered Manic Miners, a remake of 1999’s Lego Rock Raiders, and ever since I’ve been busy reliving my childhood in 1080p. Now if only someone could remake Lego Racers 1&2…
Beyond that, I found out that the Steam release of Dwarf Fortress totally passed me by last year, and so I’ve been getting back into that and I keep marveling at the lovely graphics and the mouse control. I’m happy that I can support the creators this way after years of playing the game every once in a while. Still waiting for stuff like Dwarf Therapist, but for the first time I’m playing DF without tons of add-ons and it’s actually pretty neat. I’m looking forward to all the FUN I’ll be having! :P
Tried the demo for System Shock remastered and finally started Jet Set Radio with the release of the spiritual successor. They did not age well for me, but I could see why they were popular back in the day
Just finished Rakuen not too long ago and I love(d) it. The game play is really simple, any of the puzzles are simple enough, the music is for the most part pretty solid, and the story was pretty good. Nothing to complain about besides how short it is.
Not sure what the next big game I’ll be playing is, but I have been thinking about saying screw it and playing Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters again.
I’m on vacation, so I’ve returned to my default Steam Deck game: Wildermyth. I love its storytelling, particularly with carrying characters over from one campaign to another. I’ve grown particularly attached to the warrior from my first campaign, now fully fire-transformed. However, he’s moved on from his first love, who is now far too crow-like.
Trying to beat Spider-Man before Spider-Man 2 comes out next month. Also finally got around to Stardew Valley. I need to finish off Horizon Zero Dawn. Too many games, not enough time, the exact opposite of my childhood lol!
I’m shelving Baldur’s Gate 3 for now after a full run plus more. Had a great time with it, but I think I’d rather wait for more polish first before I tinker with it any more or check out the story branches/side quests in Act 3 I didn’t see.
I started playing Hardspace: Shipbreaker and I was surprised at how quickly it grabbed me. The story has a very similar vibe to Papers, Please and something about the UI and the artistic design is reminding me a lot of old space sims. Surprisingly cozy game, though I might look into seeing if I can swap out the music. Don’t know if I like what it says about me that I really like games that are work simulators, though.
I have Hard space Shipbreaker on my list. I’m hoping it’s the type of game you can pick up and play I short, relaxed bursts. Is that how you’d describe it?
Valorant, been playing with friends and prepping for the premier games this week. It’s the gaming equivalent of a softball or bowling league, fun to practice leading up to a game, with a season that ends in a playoff. Been a lot of fun strategizing, even though we’re not high level
Working my way through completely exploring the entire world of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I really love this game, but goddamn is it enormous. I’m about 75% in.
And just picked up the switch port of Red Dead Redemption. Really glad to be able to play this one without dragging out the 360. Still an awesome game, and a damn good port.
Its a mix of CS:GO, The Long Dark and Assetto Corsa for me lately.
I just got the Project Rome mod for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 so I’ve been playing that quite a bit as well! To any BC2 fans out there, make sure you get Project Rome and start playing again! It’s just as fun as it’s ever been.
Rogue Legacy 2, Elder Scrolls Online, and I recently found out about this procedurally generated BMX game called Descenders that’s kinda tough but fun.

That’s a really nice idea! And a great way to connect with your children.

Haha, wow. We’re in pretty similar situations then. Good call with the dex, you gotta keep that stamina level high too.

For sure. The core gameplay loop is in 15 minute segments, at least at the point I’m at.

Sea of Stars! It’s great so far. I only like turn based RPGs once in a blue moon, and this one really hooked me
