Pros - Drifting mechanic and graphics are unique
Cons - You might forget your drifting instinct you built in other games

Minecraft and dwarf fortress. I may pick up factorios extension if and when I have time
I decided to try and finish Assassin's Creed Odyssey after taking like a 2-year hiatus. I'm still struggling. The game is such a grind. There's just too much content and all of it's too similar.
RimWorld and modded Pokemon Scarlett.
On one hand i am adoring Scarlett more than i expected... On the other, what I enjoy is almost exclusively from the mod, so I don't know where to even talk about the fun i am having understanding I probably still wouldn't want to purchase the full game, even with all the fun I am having, because the jank is only tolerable for me on an emulator with mods.
RimWorld im really into a insectoids 2 mod run. About to try my hand at vanilla expanded genetics with Alpha Animals and Rimbees.
Im vibrating for stardew valley mobile update. It's been my favorite way to play and I wanna mod that, too. π©
Kingdome Come Deliverance. I'm really enjoying it!
Iβm so glad. Iβve heard thatβs a good one
Factorio Space Age! It was Satisfactory 1.0, but I got distracted π
Like a lot of people, Factorio and Satisfactory. Been also playing a bit of Binding of Isaac and DRG. Also watching a friend play Morrowind because I love that game souch
Since it came out in the last week of August, I don't think I've touched any game other than Age of Mythology. It's just that perfect balance of being an excellent game in its own right and also absolutely nailing the nostalgia for me.
Just started Baldur's Gate 3. Never played a CRPG before (does Disco Elysium count?) so it has been quite the learning curve for combat. Pretty stuck in the Underdark, it seems. Looks like I'll have to help out a slavetrader Gekh in order to proceed because I don't think I can defeat him and his buddies...
Disco Elysium absolutely counts.
Morrowind. But i beat it w the dlcs few days ago so might replay oblivion before replaying morrowind with mods. I got tamriel rebuilt tho to see a glimpse of what theyve built and the sheer size of the map is jawdropping.
Just started playing deadlock, valve's new MOBA and I love it. I really hope when it's out of play test they add more champions to play as.
Satisfactory!! 1.0 is great
I've played a bit of Factorio and enjoyed it a little too much, but watching some video clips of Satisfactory a couple of years ago really didn't grab me. Do you think it's likely that either watching the game have a very poor sense of what it's like (for someone already familiar with Factorio), or that the game has gotten a whole heap better over the last 2ish years?
Zelda a link to the past (emulated on pocket snes).
Dead Space and Silent Hill 2 (once I get paid π), and replaying Ghost of Tsushima.
I dunno a lot about ghost of Tsushima, but Iβve always thought it looks interesting, and very beautiful.
It's an open world action game, and the story is very good! The writing is so good that I played the DLC in the middle of the game and didn't realize it until the end (bought about a year out of release) . It's that cohesive. It's one of those games that you can just lose yourself in. There's fast travel, but the landscape is so inviting. I also think the fighting is really well done. The way they integrate fighting styles and the story telling is too notch. Maybe look up a play through and see if it's your jam. I hope it is!
That sounds great Iβll definitely have to check it out sometime soon. Thanks for the reply I appreciate hearing your perspective
Valheim
My brother got me into Frostpunk recently. It's been kicking my ass lol
Don't Starve Together!
Pentiment. Had me gripped more than any game I've played recently. Such a great aesthetic, and the rich history it weaves is compelling
I loved it ! I was so sad about my detective skills until I found out it was intended.
Which act are you playing ?
Sudoku all the time. Itβs the perfect tool for waiting 7 minutes. I bought the app βEnjoy Sudokuβ many years ago and it is my most played game ever.
Lately I've been playing Roboquest, an indie arena shooter about halfway through the progression system, and Octopath Traveler 2, a jrpg with great music and some battle mechanics that make turn based combat more interesting (5 battle points per character that charge per turn to boost abilities, defense breaks/weak points, and buff/debuff counters).
Dead Space, FF VI and VII Remake
Classic dead space or remake?
Remake
Mud Runners. Surprisingly a good game if you like mishaps that provide challenges. The soft terrain physics are fun just to watch as your truck plows through, too.
Got Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom last night and absolutely had a blast. It's like a collect-a-thon style game where you play as a living taxi who has to collect green gears to stop Alien Mosk and his oil.
I also got around to an updated version of Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate. It's chess, but you are a single chess king piece with a shotgun vs various other pieces on the other side who normally can only move normally. Beat the enemy king and get a card to buff you, and your opponents. Simple gameplay.
Metaphor ReFantazio is amazing.
I doesn't look like it needs my help, because it's doing pretty well, but damn, it's good.
Maybe too much anxiety to play a game in which you're running for office in a fantasy land, at least until November, but... yeah, it's bonkers and it's well written and it's by far the most political game the Persona-adjacent studios have ever done in some really fun ways.
Also a triumph of UI. Not only does it look great, it's so frictionless. It's a turn-based JRPG and it plays faster and more smoothly than that abomination of an action game Square tried to pass as a Final Fantasy VII remake by orders of magnitude. Seriously, go play it if you're at all interested in that corner of gaming.
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, practicing the any% route so I can play it onstream soon.
That's when I'm not distracted with [email protected] on my phone.
Just went back and played the Witcher 3 Blood & Wine expansion. The main questline was really awesome! Many of the side quests feel like busy work, but some are good.
Tis the Halloween season, so I'm now playing Amnesia: The Bunker. It offers a new gameplay flow from their past, more linear games. Past games are more: here's an area with its own monster and a puzzle, solve the puzzle to get through this area. The Bunker (so far) is more: there are several areas with puzzles, but the whole time there is a monster living in the walls that you have to be careful not to alert. Makes it feel more sandboxy and freeform, I'm digging it.
Do tabletop games count? If so, then... Dungeons and Dragons haha. I'm learning the ropes, having fun with it :)
Oh damn I didn't even think about tabletop games counting! In that case I have to amend my answer to also include Pathfinder 2.
Tabletop games absolutely count! I love D&D, Iβm glad youβre having fun!
Silent Hill 2 Remake. Itβs been absolutely amazing so far. Bloober team knocked this one out of the park, and Iβm really looking forward to Cronos: The New Dawn.
