PC Gaming

Last Epoch, an indie ARPG similar to Diablo or Path of Exile. I have about 450 hours in it (since the early access phase) but hadn't played it for over a year. Now that I'm boycotting Microsoft/Xbox I recently jumped back in and have been enjoying the impressive amount of stuff that's been added post-launch.

I play this kind of game "casually", by which I mean I don't look up build guides. To me the most fun part of the game is developing a good enough understanding of the mechanics to be able to find success building whatever type of character it is that I want to play. For someone with this type of approach I think LE is great and very flexible! It's the only game I've reviewed on Steam and years later I still recommend it!

Kingdom come deliverance 2,while I wait on vintage story mods to update

Recently, Baldur's gate 3, off world trading company, old school Runescape, timberborn. I'm missing some recent but j forgot it so meh.

Space Station 14! It's so goofy! I love the idea of a large scale semi cooperative roleplaying experience.

My wife's not a gamer, but I showed her some Telltale games and she loved them. We just finished playing all 4 Walking Dead games and had z great time. We're playing Michonne now, then The Wolf Among Us.

Graveyard Keeper. It's kinda like Stardew Valley but you maintain a graveyard, give sermons, enbalm bodies, make alchemy potions, raise the dead to perform menial, tasks, and grow crops!

My only complaint is that there's so many recipes and different stuff to do I need to have a couple tabs of the wiki open.

Noita. Simple and clever.

And Rimworld.

I like to mix things up, so I'm replaying Wolfenstein New Colossus on death incarnate difficulty, and sprinkling in Steve's Warehouse, Balatro and Hades for shorter sessions.

I'm waiting for a good sale to pick up Indiana Jones and will probably get Borderlands 4 sometime soon so hubs and I can play it together. I'm also considering a new playthrough of Cult of the Lamb now that the expansion has been announced.

Gone back to working on Monster Hunter Rise with my son.

You should check out !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works, I do a post like this every week and it tends to get decent interaction every time.

i need a computer with s graphs card :(

I finally started playing Stardew Valley more than 15 minutes in the dungeon every once in a blue moon and questioning why the fuck I never actually played it before in all this time (I have had it since first available on Steam). It's everything I've ever wanted in this kind of game since playing the first Harvest Moon.

Plus it has a mod that makes everyone furry. :3

I've been playing No Man's Sky lately. They just put out an update that let's you build a spaceship that also functions as a base. I'm only just now getting into the game and it came at a perfect time for me because I'm just now getting the point that I need a house to store stuff and I haven't found a planet that I love. Now I don't have to because I can live in a ship built just for me!

Just me and my antlered ewok exploring the black.

Infra. You play as a structural analyst sent in to document damages on infrastructure that was being neglected due to a corrupt governor.

Technically a walking sim, but plenty of puzzles to solve and “mazes” to navigate. The game offers no minimap or objective list. No HUD whatsoever. It’s just you and one action button.

Each area is exquisitely detailed for being a 9-year-old game and visually holds up better than I expected. If you ever wanted to know what it was like to explore abandoned infrastructure, this one’s for you.

Shadowrun for sega genesis

Currently Vintage Story, BallisticNG and Deadlock. No one game is currently holding a monopoly on my attention. All very good games, but it does feel a bit like I'm just in a holding pattern waiting for Silksong. It was easier to wait without an official release date xD

Clair Obscura, because I enjoy depression.

Can't stay away from Spelunky...

I'll start - was super into Cult of the Lamb until Nightreign came out and as a Fromsoft addict I haven't really played anything else since.

I main The Witcher 3 at the moment, with Skellige mostly done. It took me 4 separate attempts to finally make it that far. The game has a fantastic narrative and the quests backstories are really engaging, with great music to set the mood. Absolutely everything else, from combat, exploration, traversal to upgrades, economy and even UX, is sub-par and a massive chore. I've made it this far this time around only because of some mods.

If I'm in the mood for something lighter I'm playing Super Video Golf. Awesome arcade game emulating the nostalgic feeling of similar games from the 90s.

I'm couch surfing rn and only have my laptop, so I can really only play Stardew Valley. I've been slowly changing production entirely over to ancient fruit from hops.

I wish could play Satisfactory tho. :{

I've been working through my endless backlog.

I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It is a masterpiece.

I bought the Sniper Elite Humble Bundle that came with games 1 through 5. I have played through 1 to 4 already. It makes me miss games that can be finished in 20 hours instead of the endless grinds every game expects now. I also miss when Nazis were the evil bad guys.

I'm also playing through Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This one is set in Hawaii which is a coincidence since I've also just finished Kitchen Sync: Aloha!, a cooking game set in Hawaii.

Hades 2 Death Stranding 2 Overwatch 2

And to keep with the theme, thinking about checking out Grounded 2 next week.

Clone Hero! I missed how much fun Guitar Hero was

I am taking a break from working on my Skyrim mod list to try getting into Baldur's Gate 3 for a third time.

My first attempt, I picked "tactician" difficulty, didn't make optimal choices for character build and party composition, and then quit at the end of act 2 when the fights got too hard. Then I tried honour mode, minmaxed everything, was getting by okay but quit in the middle of act two because playing that way was boring.

So now I'm playing at the default difficulty level, just relaxing and having fun like a normal person.

I'm on an everything Battletech-related kick, so Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries is what I'm playing currently.

The Finals - always

Slay the Spire

Coral Island

Very different vibes, all bangers

Recently picked up Enshrouded and giving that a go. Thinking of checking out the new update to No Man's Sky but haven't redownloaded it yet.

I was worried the first hour or two of Enshrouded I wouldn't like it, felt very similar to Ark and Grounded, which I wasn't much of a fan of due to the progression of those games moving at a snails pace and being brutalized by most enemies early on. But I'm happy to say I haven't felt the same disappointment from Enshrouded, sitting around 10-ish hours in. My character looks like a hobo dressed in whatever trash they could find hitting enemies with a crooked stick, but the combat feels pretty fun (instead of brutal) and there's interesting loot all over to keep the carrot and stick centers of my brain engaged. "Oh look, a slightly more interesting crooked stick!"

I like it so far.

Cyberpunk 2077

Stardew Valley

Hades 2

Diablo 4

These are the ones I’m rotating between most right now. I’ve also got Doom (2016) and BG3 on rotation, but haven’t hit them in a while.

The Steam Deck has been such a great addition. Especially being able to stream titles like CP2077 from the PC for better graphical fidelity and battery life.

Edit: Oh! And Geometry Wars 3! It’s so good on the Steam Deck! It says “Playable” but I genuinely don’t know why, it seems completely supported as far as I can tell.
