As for me…
I’m playing OMORI and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
I just finished Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. One of the best games I’ve ever played, imho.
I plan to play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom soon.
I’m still making my way through Tears of the Kingdom. I liked Breath of the Wild, but didn’t love it. But the world feels much more alive in this new game. I’m at like 100 shrines completed and I’ve still only done one dungeon 😅
Yeah, I started the game and Tears of the Kingdom is much, much better than Breath of the Wild ever was.
But I’ll continue to play till the end.
Could you tag me as well in future threads ?
Sure thing!
Me too please if it isn’t too much trouble :)
I was already here…
Gotcha.
I’m playing a bit of eu4, I like strategy game
Noice.
Lately I’ve been playing Destiny 2 (of fucking course, I have over 2,400 hours in-game) and Gotham Knights.
On Gotham Knights, I’m grinding for Level 80 gear on Heroic Assault. And on Destiny 2, I’m completing seasonal challenges and experiencing the seasonal storyline. I really like Season of the Deep.
I’m really fucking ecstatic and beyond excited for multiple game announcements and reveals.
I pre-ordered the Collector’s Edition of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and I’m hoping to be able to pre-order the Collector’s Edition of the new upcoming Spider-Man 2 game.
I’m fucking stoked for Starfield, it looks way better than I expected. I’m getting Skyrim vibes, mixed with a bit of Fallout and Mass Effect. I didn’t enjoy The Outer Worlds or No Man’s Sky, but this looks like something phenomenally better.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora honestly looks pretty good, which was unexpected for me, if I’m being honest.
I can definitely understand people’s complaints about Ubisoft games, but I feel like if any game was perfect for their formula, its Avatar. Even if its just Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed on Pandora, I’m beyond excited.
Same!
Currently playing Stellaris.(640h into it) Also interested in Starfield will probably pick it up around release.
I have Stellaris and every single expansion on Steam, but I’ve only played it for less than an hour, setting up my first save file.
I keep telling myself I’ll get to it eventually.
How is Gotham Knights from a hardend Destiny player?
Crusader Kings 3 and Hollow Knight

Sounds great.
Been playing a bit of CK3 lately as well. Really enjoying Tours and Tournaments.
Doki Doki Literature Club, for my communist fanfic. I just hope I can still sleep at night when I’m done with it.
I have the same issue with OMORI, though I would recommend that game highly.
I’m currently bouncing between Elite Dangerous, Subnautica: Below Zero, and Monster Hunter Rise. I’ll probably try SF6 soon, which will be my first fighting game.
It might be my own first fighting game too.
how are you enjoying ED? its been months since I played, I skyrocketed my earnings by mining, eventually got 3-4 imperial cutters when there was an event with a sale on all imperial ships, and then mainly did trading in VR.
I’m TRYING to play Tears of the Kingdom. But I got sucked back into the infinite time pit that is Oxygen Not Included. Does anyone else here play?
I heard good things about the latter.
Yeah, it’s an awesome game! It’s a survival base builder to begin with, then it turns into a big materials science experiment later in the game.
hell yeah
Oh boy. Firstly Pathfinder: WotR was awesome. Lately I’ve been on cozy/sim kicks for some reason. Lots of EA games too. I’ve played most of Travellers Rest (decent, EA), Sun Haven (awesome, complete), Roots of Pacha (cool/different, complete). Waiting on some updates for The Ranchers (kickstarter - EA soon). Also played some tech tests for Palia (Cozy MMO? NDA active!) For strategy/4x games, I put some time into Spellforce, Against the Storm, Age of Wonder 4, and fired up Thea 2 again. All solid games. When I want to suck at games I hit Noble Fates, Dwarf Fortress, Necesse. If I want to be a rock star I fire up Vampire Survivors, or the EA for Starship Troopers. However, the other day I picked up Diablo 4, all seventy fucking dollars of it, because some friends from across the country were digging it, and now I’m level 30+ already because games are addicting.
The struggle though - Startfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 coming out within like a week of each other (or a day if you preorder). Fortunately at least Starfield is going to be on Xbox PC Game Pass, so I won’t have to shell out for it until it’s on sale and I want to play through it again with a whole new set of untagged achievements on steam. Like I did when I completed Skyrim, and got the special edition as a separate install for a fresh set of cheevos. Ugh.
Great time to be a gamer, but not enough time to be a gamer. :)
EA… games? As in Electronic Arts? I thought their games sucked?
Also, heard good things about Spellforce and Age of Wonder 4, though I’m not really an RTS fan and I don’t know if I want to start playing RTSes again (it’s been over a decade since I did, admittedly).
EA… games? As in Electronic Arts? I thought their games sucked?
Early Access
Oooohhhh
My bad.
EA as in early access, sorry for invoking electronic arts. AOW4 and Spellforce aren’t RTS… they’re more 4x, with turn based combat. Check out some videos on them and you’ll see how they play.
haha fair enough
I need to get back to games I started recently like Boltgun, Terra Nil, but my time is limited. Hearthstone battlegrounds is my “I finally have a min” game or “the kids are in bed and I’m finally watching TV but need to feed my ADHD” game lol. I’m into the current battlegrounds update, I’m interested to see what the new patch has for changes.
Terra Nil is super chill if you’re looking for something to pass the time with.
I love the look and feel it 40K: Boltgun, little hard to play on the steam deck but it’s just a learning curve I think.
40K: Boltgun is supposed to be the best boomer shooter in a while now.
I plan to play it myself.
Lol I love/hate that it’s called a Boomer Shooter. I’m not getting old, I swear!
Haha!
ToTK almost done! Just switched to playing on Linux Mint (Yuzu) and it even runs smoother than Windows! I might not finish though, I feel like I played my fill.
And I’m playing Citizen Sleeper. It was in a top 10 games of 2022 list on a podcast I like and it’s great but there is a lot of reading.
I played the new SpongeBob, Cosmic Shake earlier. It’s a worthy successor to the series.
And I played Cassette Beasts, great spin on monster collecting which is on game pass, steam, xbox, and switch.
As far as summer games fest, I’m excited for “Stray Gods: the role playing musical.” “Beastieball” and “Despelote” look great too. Despelote was described by the creator as “like a half-remembered part of his childhood” when Ecuador was first allowed to compete in the (Football) World Cup.
My wish list has gotten massive between the Wholesome Direct, Devolver Direct, and the Intel Next show.
Citizen Sleeper 2 was just announced!! I’m so incredibly happy and hype it was “successfull” enough. Literally made my whole month probably
Wow! I’ll check it out!
Currently playing the latest Expedition in No Man’s Sky
Eyyy, same. How far in are you?
I really should get to playing that game.
Slay the Spire has been one of my favorites for years, and recently I’ve been using the “Spire with Friends” mod. It allows up to 6 players to link up their runs to try to win. The added Courier map location is what pulls it all together, allowing you to spend gold to send cards and relics to your teammates.
In a normal Spire run, most of your gold is probably being used to remove your basics in shops. In a multiplayer run, there is a larger incentive to hold off on doing so, since a well timed delivery can save another player from certain death.
I should try that one; it’s gotten quite the reputation over the years.
“Tainted grail: conquest” has similar gameplay done in a horror Arthurian fantasy setting. There are some really good Rogue-style deck builders out there.
interesting, thanks

I’ve heard great things about Dyson Sphere Program… though Factorio bores me to tears.
deleted by creator
Pretty much, but I would also add that the aesthetics of Factorio don’t do it for me, in all honesty.
I just recently got back from vacation so I missed the release of Street Fighter 6 but have been playing that now and it’s really fun. Might be the best Street Fighter game on release (SFV was terrible on release) with tons of content, the characters are well made and I like that they added a different control scheme (called modern) that makes it a bit easier for people new to fighting games to play it.
Other than that, I got back into playing Dead by Daylight with friends, we usually take a couple months break and come back to it when there’s new content.
Noice! And yeah, Street Fighter 6 looks absolutely excellent.
I have Street Fighter 6 Gold Edition on my PS5 as well but haven’t played it much yet.
Sure. Let me know how it goes sometime.
