Amored Core 6. It's the first Armored Core that I have played. The setting and story are not really my thing, but the gameplay is a lot of fun.

Like a Dragon 8: Infinite Wealth

I'm 25 hours in and barely touched the main story. Once they let me roam around I did nothing but side content. Just yesterday I got access to the "Pokemon" League and I see myself not touching any story content for another 5 hours. It's great.

Guild Wars 2. Love it.

Started playing in beta, took a break for years, and have been playing it again with friends most evenings for a year.

Turnip Boys robs a Bank.

Go play it.

Watchdogs 2. I'm getting to old for this. Recently killed Halo Infinite, Farcry 4 5 6 and some others. Software Engineer. Been unemployed for a bit :/

Planetbase, it doesn't take long to figure out but I'm trying to unlock the other more challenging planets at the moment which just takes time.

I'm on the lookout for challenging survival management/city building games if anyone can recommend one? Something like Banished, This War of Mine or Frostpunk.

I felt like going back to swtor. My main account was disabled, expired or something and I can't recover it without calling some dumb schmucks working for EA support.
Went in on a secondary account I used to bypass the character restrictions and now I'm scratching the itch until it finally dies for good.
It has a daily login reward, some kind of battle pass, everything is paywalled, limited number of rewards, they changed character creation and unified classes, but pvp is active.

Overall, I don't recommend it.

Papers please. Having fun so far doing the story

Shrouded. Its bizar how well it plays for early access. Gameplay is fun, the enemies a little stupid but can be challenging non the less. And the game feels well optimized. My dedicated server is running and using less than 2gb of memory of the available 20gb and no lag. Then the building, it can be a bit finicky sometimes but it allows for so much freedom it's a fun aspect. Crafting also works good, in all I highly recommend it, and can't wait to finish the playthrough and cycle back in a year or so to see what it has become then. But it's already worth the money IMHO.

Thirty hours into Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Main story has started to ramp up, but I keep getting distracted by the business management mini-game and the kart-racing minigame that I just discovered while wandering around the map. It never ceases to amaze me just how dense these games are and just how many side activities they managed to pack into one game.

beat Pikmin 2, used a gecko code to stop the timer, gonna go for 100% now

Friend convinced me to try Helldivers 2 this past weekend. I had fun, but I also don't think it's as great as the hype it's getting either. Friend thinks it will be a long term playing game but I felt like I saw most of what it offered in 3 days of playing. Guess we'll see. I'm also trying out the FF7 rebirth demo. Wish I had more time to play stuff but this is all I have currently.

Only been playing balatro. Now it's fully out. Hooray!

Currently playing Lords of the Fallen. I'm almost to the end, it's been a lot of dying, but a lot of fun also!

Far Cry 3 with Ziggy's Mod for added challenge... Casual version, I kind of like it.

Ocarina of Time randomizer keeps being pretty fun.

Oldschool Runescape.

Super Mario Bros. 3 is a nostalgia mainstay.

I also gave Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion a try and got to the second boss. I mean to get back to it, as it's a cute game and pretty funny.

Helldivers 2 with friends. But the 1.0 of Last Epoch released Wednesday evening. Can't wait for the weekend !

I'm still jamming on PalWorld. Set up a dedicated server and have 4 other people who hop on randomly and play, it's great to come across them while exploring. It feels like an alive world. Almost level 50 and breeding all the uber monsters with 4 legendary stats. This game just scratches all the right itches, and it doesn't even have the quests, raids, or other content they are planning yet. Too fun.

Finally got on the Lethal Company bandwagon and I think I'm gonna have a lot of fun playing it with my kids.

Finally getting around to playing Disco Elysium. I know I'm late to the party but holy cow what a trip

Playing Occupy White Walls occasionally. Playing Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone. Pondering buying that uhhh roguelite 'poker' deck building game whose name has gone out my head now

Currently have over 100 hours in Persona 3 Reload and I haven't even completed the game yet.

Always wanted to dive into P3P/FES until Reload was announced, and I'm so happy I waited. The game is very polished and I've heard it is a faithful remake of the OG P3. Definitely going for a NG+ afterwards!

Still just a heavily modded Skyrim playthrough that still remains perfectly lore-friendly. But I'm strongly considering playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance soon. Unfortunately for me, the prospect of modding the hell out of Morrowind again is also calling to me.

Why walk when you can ride?

I started a Minecraft server with the Ars Nouveau mod. It's completely fantastic.

Still strolling through my snails pace playthrough of RDR2, haven't left chapter 2 yet and mostly been doing side stuff, hunting fishing and completing challenges. Looking for a damn badger and beaver but can't find either anywhere.

I also wish RDR2 had the same fishing minigame as FFXV. Not that it's terrible, but I wish it had the same depth. That game had the best fishing minigame I've played, almost worth the price of admission for that alone.

Assassin's creed 3 remaster, Tomb Raider Trilogy, Just Cause... Its just a coincidence all im playing right now are old games, lol.

Monster Hunter World. This game‘s got me in an iron grip. I‘m looking forward to playing the Tales of Arise DLC which is discounted rn to 20 bucks which is the kinda price I would‘ve expected to begin with.

Mario Kart on the side, playing the expansion pass courses, currently at „Mirror.“

Finished my first a BG3 run, blind. Was considering starting a second run, with "perfect" choices (and mods) but it seems that patch 6 broke quite some things.

Gonna spend time playing "dad games", then. I don't know what's so appealing about those "X simulator" games, but I can absolutely get lost in them.

Been alternating between replaying Elden Ring on my PC and the original Ratchet and Clank on my new (to me) PS2. Making good progress in both.

Currently working through the last level in R&C and I forgot how brutally unforgiving that game is with the limited health and scarce checkpoints.

I'm almost through the academy in ER. Fixing to fight whatshername with the giant baby and the kamehameha attack. Already beat that god-damn OP knight guarding the entrance to her boss room.

Helldivers 2! Played the first one a bit but not nearly as engaged with that as I am in this. Bought on launch day and had a blast until the massive player spike killed the servers, that’s seems to be better now as I was able to get in fine and play for a few hours last night.

It’s 100% worth the price and hype but I recommend waiting a few weeks to a month from now while they fully deal with server load issues and they say mechs are pretty much ready to be added now and are just getting polished.

For background, the first game peaked at ~7000 players, this one had 480K on steam alone and that number again on PlayStation this past weekend. They didn’t expect this level of success and so didn’t plan to have server capacity and robust network code for it, they are putting in the long nights to fix it though and we’re already seeing improvements only a couple weeks in

Sea of Thieves. Revisiting it after several years of not playing it, and finding it just as much fun now as it uses to be.

Back on my Rimworld addiction.

Palworld was on game pass so I gave it a shot. It’s actually pretty fun for a simple time waster. After this run I don’t think ill ever play it again unless they work in a really good story mode

Elden Ring and Dark Souls 1. And I intend to play them forever. Wish bb was on PC :(

Replaying Ghost of Tsushima. I beat it on PS4 back when it came out and started a New Game Plus save, but stopped playing after that so never played the expansion. I got the Director's Cut on PS5 and have currently finished Act 1 and the expansion and am working on Act 2.

Last week I went deep into Next Fest and came up with a bunch of demos, to varying success. Tried Synergy (promising), Sword of Convallaria (great, but deeply concerned about the mobile/gacha systems), Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds (not great, borrows shamelessly from Divinity: Original Sin 2), and Balatro (surprisingly interesting).

For now, I'm kind of bouncing around, not being able to settle on anything. Might go back to Atelier Ayesha tonight.
