What games are you actually enjoying right now?

8 days ago by mesa to c/games

I saw a video on spawnwave that talked today about what games people are enjoying in 2026 right now. And the different reactions of different social media/sites.

I personally am loving Wild Blue Skie s. Its just starfox. Thats what I want to play!

BALL x PIT is a whole lot of fun. I didn't think it would be but it keeps getting better and better.

I also liked FTL back in the day so I picked up Void War . Its like warhammer + FTL and its fantastic.

EDIT: You all are great! Keep them coming! So many games (video games and otherwise) in this list!

Control: Resonant

I think I'm 25-30h in and I don't want to put it down. Idk how long it is, but all the Remedy Universe games are such a treat, I don't want it to be over. I'm enjoying the melee-focused combat more than the first game's TPS combat, I think.

I also just started this! I got 100% completion on Control - I loved the lore and little details, finding myself reading every note and watching every video.

Resonant seems to be following the same vibe for me.

Playing The Witcher 3 for the first time. I bought the original when it first came out and just never played it. But they went to all the trouble to be super exceptional people and release the remaster for free so now I have to play it.

I tried it too, the parts I played were done very well, but fair warning: If you have anything like thalassophobia, it's not going to be fun. I couldn't do the water planet and even the fog stuff was too much for me. I need to be able to SEE where I'm going. Way too scary, that sutff.

I totally admit that I "cheesed" Nosk a bit. Probably already a strategy written down online somewhere but I managed to figure out myself that if you stand right next/under the platform he cannot hit you well with this bubble attack and often just walks over you without damaging you, which when you can easily hit him.

When he goes into the ceiling for his drop attack stay at the entrance door where he cannot hit you, dashing away as soon as he does his skreech before falling on you.

I just finished GTA IV on the PS3. For a game that's satirical of America's love of guns and violence, it makes some very poignant statements of war and the bitterness one gets from having to live through it.

I think probably the most novel thing gold/silver did back I the day was a real-time clock and day of the week tracker. This meant you had to log in at certain times to hunt certain pokemon, or attend certain events. This isn't as impressive today, but at the time was a whole new level of immersion fans had never seen before, in any handheld game really.

It was also incredible that they had the new jhoto region, but also the entire gen 1 kanto region (set a few years in the future). I remember that was just mind blowing that this was even possible.

But if you're not feeling it, don't force yourself through it. The Pokemon games aren't for everybody.

If you didn't play Pokemon as a kid, you shouldn't waste your time. They're games for babies. You're only going to like it as an adult if you've got nostalgia.

There are way better monster collecting/training games that aren't made for kids in kindergarten if that's what you're looking for. The Shin Megami Tensei series has some amazing monster design.

Holding E is optional but heavily encouraged to be kept on. I only turned it off for bulk repetitive tasks, but realistically it protects you from screwing up and accidentally acting on something you didn't want to act on.

Theres only one setting I found and it only works for menu actions. Any where you have to hold E for harvesting plants, opening refiner menu, interacting with NPCs, its still there.

I'd rather make mistakes than be forced to wait every time I want to interact with something you know what I mean? Its just irritating. Thankfully I found a mod for that which makes the hold function almost instant for everything else.

I have found myself incurably addicted to the surf mini game found within Counter Strike Source. It is a $10 game that is over 20 years old and I have over 600 hours in it already with still a lot to learn. The skill cap is crazy high and it takes so long to master it but when you start getting decent, it's so incredibly satisfying to hit a smooth run and beat your previous PB. You can even compete against other players in your country or globally to earn bragging rights for being one of the best!

Been enjoying Going Medieval for single player, it's the perfect little castle builder fantasy, though building an actual castle takes a very long time when you're still learning the game. But! That incentivises starting out small, feels like you get to see actual historical development rather than just arriving at the big final castle.

Multiplayer it's Big Walk, what an absolute delight! Loving that the intro is so gentle, but there's clearly a lot of depth.

I'm mainly playing 3 games right now.

I'm slowly but surely making my way through Valheim 1.0 with a friend who's mostly only available during the weekends. Very fun, despite the two of us having very different gameplay styles. He enjoys looking up guides and cheesing things using tips from pros, while I like to figure out things naturally and will avoid cheese like I'm lactose intolerant. He's the builder this time around, so things have gone mostly his way. I'd probably have more fun alone, but I know damn well I could never sit down and finish a game as long and grindy as Valheim by myself.

I've also been playing a lot of Helldivers 2 with a group of friends. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with this game. There's 5 of us now (which has been problematic in a 4-player game), and yet somehow NONE of us are ever together unless its something really tough like a flag raising objective. We just don't really have the team play part of the game down yet (despite having several hundred hours in it), which leads to us often getting a bit tilted in the moment.

Alone, I've really been enjoying Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. The second chapter came out recently, so I finally pulled it out of my backlog to play. This is VERY different from my normal games (first ever JRPG, aside from the original Pokemon games), but I've been having a lot of fun with it. I really like running around and seeing all of the NPCs' own little personal stories evolving in between each quest. I'm playing on the hardest difficulty, and I'm pretty glad I am, because I'm hardly struggling outside of boss fights. Which is strange to me, because I tried the demo for this game when it first game out like a year or two ago on the same difficulty and remember finding it incredibly difficult.

And hard. But in the way you have to slowly hone your skills and really learn the mechanics. But I kind of enjoy how it's for a slower pace, and I'm really getting my money's worth with this series.

Well, I mean, let's be honest, the base game story sucks ass. I have played A LOT of hours with the Sim Settlements 2 mod, and Rise of the Commonwealth and a bunch of other mods. It completely changes the game and the SS2-quest is actually good.

Though I haven't tried it after they put out that patch, when the TV-series made it popular again. It ruined all my mods, and I haven't gone back to check if any of them are updated or even still compatible. Maybe it's time to get around to that.

American Truck Simulator!

It's exactly what it sounds like. You drive a truck. You make deliveries. Beautiful scenery, relaxing drives, plus some challenge when it comes time to back up to the loading dock. It's really chill and it's awesome.

(There's also Euro Truck Simulator 2 which is literally the exact same game but in Europe, if that's more your thing.)

I played through BrokenLore: LOW recently. I thought it would be another one of those crappy horror games made in an hour, but this one was actually alright. I even went ahead and platinum'ed the achievements.

I've also enjoyed making chemicals in Alembic. Making a big canister of fluorine gas and dropping pure cesium into it is fun.

I also played through the demo of Misohagi Crossing recently. The dev is a Japanese person branching into the Western market, so I gave it a look.

I signed up for the Undershroom Playtest. I found the idea of being chased by those jaw figurines dentists have to be hilarious.

I played the VR games "I Expect You To Die" 1-3. They were the first VR games that actually hooked me and the intros are absolutely phenomenal. When I started with the first one and saw the intro I thought to myself that the intro went way too hard for a VR game. And the next two only went harder. The gameplay is very fun and engaging.

Then I played through Goodnight Universe in one evening. It was a beautiful experience. I even shed a few tears. Highly recommend.

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is my current game I'm spending the most time in. It's Fire Emblem but now has little dungeons! They don't add too much, honestly, but they break up the straight strategy combat with a simplified turn based RPG style. Something new, so that's fun. Looks great; plays great.

I do like the story of my character Leda so far. It's more "mature" than I expected as it often talks about murder and revenge. I'm eager to see what the other paths are like.

Silent Hill: Townfall is next. My friends and I always play a scary game together during the season, so this came out at a perfect time. About halfway through it, and I like it a lot!

I'm currently quiet busy with other stuff and don't play too much. I mostly play older games, a few years old or even retro. Recently played Civilization 4, because that's one of the favorites in the series, so I wanted to see how it compares to the other games in series. I also started playing racing simulation on PC. Automobilista 2 is probably the best game for single players, as I'm not interested in playing online (yet). The twist for myself is, that I started playing with gyro controls, which gives it a whole new life to racing games. Maybe I buy a wheel soon! This sales event in Steam made my Pile of Shame even bigger; it's out of control.

And then there are the emulated retro games I'm going back to and try Mods and Romhacks out in RetroArch for various systems. Currently doing patches for 16 bit 90's console games such as Super Nintendo and Mega Drive / Genesis. Edit: Ah I forgot. A few days ago installed Quiver Launcher, that handles downloads and install of decompiled or recompiled games for PC. Playing F-Zero native on PC is something else.

I've recently returned to Genshin Impact. My kids played it for years before I decided to give it a chance, because c'mon, Chinese anime gacha game, what could possibly be there for me. Turns out, it has an excellent (and, to my limited knowledge, quite unique) combat system with elemental reactions and diverse enemies to whom you need to adjust your team. It's fully possible to play for free and you can get a big boost for 10€ per month, so not exactly bank breaking. The only real downsides to the game are the long dialogues in the story quests, which keep getting even longer as the story progresses; and at times questionable quality of the writing.

Honkai Star Rail has taken over my life, so I get where you're coming from.

What makes it so addictive for me was stumbling upon the fact that under the surface layer of the game/plot Hoyo is making very deep meta commentary about philosophical stances. And I'm not talking about those kinds of cheap plot enhancing surface concepts that games like to toss in to make it seem deep. I mean that the entire thing is built around the exploration of these concepts. It's philosophical inquiry first, game second. It's a ludicrous attempt that shouldn't make any money at all, but the bulk of what they are saying is hidden and the flashy game stuff is promoted so it works.

Because it's couched in allegory and the playerbase is like 15, nobody believes me, lol. But there are videos from a guy who's obviously a phd in philosophy who breaks down each chapter and explains it.

Thankfully I am too much of a miser to be a gambling addict.

I just finished Pragmata (had to speedrun the last few levels to fit in Control: Resonant, which I feel bad about - but I'd had C:R preordeted for ages and love anything from Remedy... Anyway, I digress.)

Pragmata I thought was good, and Capcom deserve some credit. An actual new IP, a genuinely fun and different game mechanic, visually looks good - and is bright and striking rather than regulation brown - and was just good fun to play. My only criticism would be that the dialogue/plotting felt like it was kinda rushed - like they skipped a couple of chapters and you go from "just met" to "devoted partners" in one scene and missed the plot/character development needed to get from A to B. I feel bad saying it though, because it's a decent and topical plot and has some genuinely affecting moments.

Credit where due; I hope it does OK because God knows it's hard enough to find games doing anything new these days.

No, I've got a lot of games on my backlog, so I wasn't really planning on playing IV either, but then it just happened :P

Also, I guess it's a good idea to wait for them to be a few expansions deep, so the game is more finished.

I just started Mortal Shell II. Earlier in the year I quite enjoyed Slay the Spire 2. (I've also played Ravenswatch and Shape of Dreams. But those aren't big name games or even ones released this year; they just happened to be what I played with my friend to socialize.)

But very recently I've heard really good things about Control: Resonant.

Just recently finished Big Hops.

Its a really good 3D platformer that gives slight Mario Odyssey vibes in terms of big open world areas to explore. A lot od good movement mechanics and feels fresh from start to finish.

After sitting in my library for years, I finally booted up Timberborn and now I'm hooked. Something about hydro engineering and logistics just tickles my brain. I just wish there was some sort of campaign mode to give me purpose once my coming can survive harsh droughts and badtides

Blasphemous 2. I'm into metroidvanias in general and I love the aesthetic. I'm stuck on one of the bosses though so I put it down for a couple weeks and need to go back and finish.

I've been playing the shit out of Assetto Corsa Competizione for a sim racing league I'm in. Weekly races, streamed and commentated. Good stewarding, good people. It's a blast! I end up staying up til like 1am on race nights because everyone hops in a party to watch the replays and talk about incidents, passes, etc.

Just started Morrowind first time. I browsed the mod section in GOG and saw that there is Tamriel Rebuilt and OpenMW available as one click mods. Then I saw that I own Morrowind (Prime deal) even though the GOG store says I don’t own it. I downloaded all 3 (plus Tamriel HD textures) and just clicked Tamriel Rebuilt play button and the modded version works well. Also you can change the small fonts bigger in the Tamriel Rebuilt settings (openmw launcher). Modding has never been easier.

Forza Horizon 6 and Fallout 4 VR heavily modded of course.

Forza I disable all the assists and get sweaty. Fallout 4 VR eventually got enough 6 DoF mods to almost hit parity with Skyrim VR modded so I'm finally giving it a go along with community story expansions and all the other shit you'd want. It's a weak game in the series but still fun to bumble around.

I just finished some old quality streamer bait slop with Water Park Simulator because I wanted to turn my brain off for awhile. It's good for that, pretty stupid game besides. It's hilarious how you can build huge water slides by the end of the game but pool depth never gets deeper so NPC just smash into the bottom of the pools.

Oh and I play Heros of Might and Magic Olden Era plus Emberward TDS on and off when updates come out.

That's it for now.

For me there is quite a lot I am enjoying.

Star Wars Galactic Racer is the new hotness, fantastic pod racer follow up. And really enjoyed what they did with the story mode(rogue lite inspired), my current main criticism is how little colour options you have for shade.

Started Witcher 3 recently but I am not enjoying the combat so far, it feels exceptionally terrible. So may end up dropping it if I can't click with it.

Now the longer term games:

Still enjoying Forza Horizon 6, but 500 hours in and I am rocking through the motions and just keeping up with the play lists. Looking forward to seeing what the expansions are going to be now.

The Finals has been an incredible amount of fun, have been mostly playing their "rush" inspired game mode this season, 8v8 with loads of destruction and chaos. Ticks a whole bunch of tick boxes for me to keep me interesting and having fun.

Sim Racing is also a big part of my game time as well, mostly split between Le Mans Ultimate and Assetto Corsa. Throw in some others as well for good measure(wreckfest, PMR, AC Rally, etc) in-between league races.

Longing for some nostalgia and social outlet (work from home so rarely leave the house most days), I jumped back into WoW last October.

Found a great guild and have been enjoying Mythic dungeons and raiding on retail. I have a feeling Forever might steal me though once that fully launches.

Guild wars 2 sucked me back a couple of weeks or have it been months now maybe. Oh well.

Surprised I havent seen more Valheim on here given the recent 1.0 release! Brutal survival in a viking purgatory, great base building and strong progression. Playing with friends is a must though.

Control: Resonant is also something I'm really enjoying, definitely a bigger game than the first one and some incredible visuals, combat is very fun too.

Hopped on How to Fish with a few friends for about an hour or so, then played quite a bit more on my own afterwards. Just finished getting every fish and thinking about trying for the last two achievements I have to unlock: beat the game in under an hour and kill the final boss with your bare hands. The speed running one doesn't seem too bad with a little creativity, but I have doubts I'll be able to do the final one on my own or at least without toning the difficulty down.

Besides that, I've been playing a bit of Final Fantasy Tactics' remake on steam though that's been on a little bit of a hiatus.

Lastly I'm prepping for an archipelago randomizer soon. Haven't decided what I'll play yet, but it'll probably include Cave Story, Tunic, and Dredge.

Res Evil: Requiem - Rare for me to enjoy a AAA title, esp in the year its released (i usually get them years later at deep discount) but this has all the best elements of the franchise with a formula that feels so damn effortlessly good to play. I dont feel cheated at 70 bucks, and thats saying something in 2026

I’m trying to finish Valheim V1.0 solo, normal mode. I’m almost done with the easy biomes. Just need to do the hardest thing in the game which is to find Yagluth.

I’m enjoying the little things they added here and there. Still wish there were categories in the crafting stations, not just the hammer tool.

Looking forward to the new biome. Not looking forward to mistlands or ashlands… (difficult)

AT THIS MOMENT

  • The localization of the first Mystery Dungeon, Torneko's Great Adventure, despite it having some implementation issues. It hasn't been remade so much as ported with better graphics.
  • The remake of Romancing SaGa 2, which is great.
  • A new web browser roguelike, Naqbu. It's really new and on the easy side, but I enjoyed it.

Ah okay, I never cared what the political talk is, as long as it does not affect the media I'm watching (or playing). She didn't even work on the game Hogwarts Legacy, and the game is not even about Harry Potter himself.

I had Hogwarts Legacy on my radar for a long time, but didn't want play it until I watched the films. So one day I sat down and watched all 10 main films (I think its 10 parts, right?) and they are way more amazing that I thought to be! To a degree that I am a little bit small fan of Harry Potter now. :-) Great films I highly recommend watching it, it was a mistake not watching the films back then.

As for the game, I then purchased it and tried out. It's a nice game and I need to go back to it. Stopped playing because I had so much to play and put it back for a while (then forgot about it).

Yeah. You’re an asshole for injecting your own personal opinions into what others should and shouldn’t do with their spare time to the point that you’re aggressively trying to ruin it for them. Frankly.. It’s a bit pathetic.

There’s a word for people like this. And you know what it is.

Quit being a hypocrite, and the asshole tag will magically vanish! Best of luck to ya on your journey to shed that entitlement and learn to do better.

And just for you, I’m going to put in an extra hour of playing this…. β€œblood libel simulator”. ROFL.
