Me too. Small children or something else keeping you busy?

Same situation. Stray great game for picking up and putting down on the deck

Aliens: Dark Descent. It's way better than I expected, not just in the gameplay but nailing the vibe of the movie. Fireteam Elite was a fun wave shooter but it turned the xenomorphs into cannon fodder for an action shoot-em-up. Dark Descent is survival horror. Fighting is a last resort. You spend your time creeping down dark corridors hoping you don't see a xeno, because when you do the hive wakes up and bad things happen. Like in Alien Isolation, your best bet is to watch your tracker and be where the xenomorphs aren't. Your marines can get wounded, killed, or dragged off to be an incubator. They also suffer stress, and start to freak out the longer they are in danger.

Really enjoying it so far!

I've just picked up Unrailed! And am very much enjoying manically herding my 6 and 4 year old to build train track, under the stern conduction of my wife.

I've also really enjoyed playing Rotwood (the combat demo/test) and am very excited for when that becomes co-op multiplayer in the full release.

Tabletop RPGs, online sadly. Hard to find people in my town who are up for some adventures with pen and paper. And copious amounts of dice.

Currently playing a mixture of The Witcher 3 and Battle Bit Remastered.

Currently about 25-30 hours into Days Gone (ps5) and thoroughly enjoying it.

The moral of that story is a) don't listen to ign b) metacritic user score is more relevant than critic score

Then need to finish Jedi survivor which I quit half way because of the bounty (and various other) bug(s)

Tears of the kingdom has finally broke my ftl: faster than light addiction

[–] Sirico@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Finally started Red Dead 2 best animal petting simulator I've played I petted a bun so hard it's fur came off with my hand

Street Fighter 6. The game is too god damn addicting.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Got back into Grim Dawn in a big way recently. Diablo IV was released at the right time for ARPG fans, but I just can't deal with all of the extra garbage that you get with Blizz games nowadays.

Dwarf Fortress! Tried and failed to get into it many times before the Steam release, and now completely hooked.

Nothing has displaced Deep Rock Galactic for me for quite a while. It's just so much fun to play - with friends, strangers, or solo - all are good.

Bosco is such a great wingman.

@sideone, this is which I most play since several Years. 100% free, Windows, Linux, Mac, one of the best free games ever.

BattleBit has become my current obsession. Feels just like playing Battlefield 3 back in the day once you get past the Roblox-esque graphics. Honestly when I'm not playing it I'm thinking about playing it.

I’m currently building a massive irrigation system in Timberborn and also running through BOTW again before unwrapping TOTK.

I’m pleased that there’s not so much TOTK stuff floating about here as there was on the other place, I want to go in as innocent as a newborn lamb.

Aoe4. New patch dropped last week for new season. Gonna learn different civs.

[–] OkayMate@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Hell Let Loose WW2 shooter. It has a great in-game community, and they just released the British faction too (which is a bit rough around the edges right now, admittedly).

[–] serfraser@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cassette Beasts (really good if you love Pokemon but are bored of Pokemon and want something a bit different)
Chivalry 2 (mindless stabby fun, but I've gotten to a point where I'm good enough to know I suck but too old and busy to get better)
Runescape (never played as a kid, my friends got me into it earlier this year then they stopped playing lol)
I wish Diablo and Zelda were my answers.

[–] fax_of_the_shadow@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Just started Cassette Beasts last night. It' super cute. It's a great change of pace from when I need a break from Diablo 4.

edit: I just realized this mag was UKcasual and not Casual. I'm not in the UK at all, sorry :(
