Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

I've done the 4 regional phenomena and all the geoglyphs, I'm clearing off some side quests before continuing (finishing?)

Tears of the Kingdom every evening since it arrived. It's so good.

My steam deck is gathering dust somewhere, barely used since I got it!

I'm still playing Deep Rock Galactic. It's on sale right now. Fantastic value for about £8 in my view.

Just started on the Mass Effect LE for the very first time - after spending waaaaay too long trying to make Shepherd look deccent, I'm finally underway and enjoying so far!

Fallout 4 on steam deck. Level 66 just mopping up side quests before the point of no return.

Currently playing The Last of us on PC. I wanted to play it on day 1, but it was a mess at the time of release. So waited till the updates had put it in a decent enough shape.

I haven't encountered any major bugs, just 2-3 minor ones. I'm thoroughly enjoying the game. It's an emotional experience, like a movie which really pulls you in. Gameplay is also nice with subtle variations as I progress to keep things interesting.

And it's just beautiful. Definitely recommend

Just bought the War of the Ring board game - my partner and I are in for a loooong Saturday.

My bass.

I played Thrive, a sort of open source, more realistic version of Spore. It's really impressive how far they've come from an 'impossible dream' to an actual functional game, albeit one with only one stage. However, as I mostly played Microbe and Creature stage in the original Spore anyway, that's like half the game to me.

I’ve been getting back into No Man’s Sky, I hadn’t played in a while so I’m trying to catch up with the recent updates. It’s always been a great chillout game for me, just exploring systems and finding odd new life forms.

Finally started Mario Odyssey after getting a Switch last xmas from my ex, and I've got to say I'm loving it. Otherwise on PC I'm rotating between Battlefield 4, Rust and Mudrunner at the moment

Tears of the Kingdom, still. But also I played my first game of Starfinder and it was really fun! I've mostly played D&D 5e so it was a big step up in complexity, but everything just sort of...makes sense, so it wasn't too much of a shock to the system. Scraped through session one by the skin of our teeth after a brawl in a cyberpunk nightclub, excited to see where the rest of the game goes!

I got myself one of these little RG35XX handheld emulation devices for £60 and stuck on some custom firmware. I've been having blast. About halfway through a bug fixed Final Fantasy VI ROM hack, also playing some Zelda Oracle of Seasons and Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga.

I've finally got round to playing Blasphemous on my Steam Deck. So much better than I thought it was so far.

I've been playing disco Elysium, after the latest video from upisnotjump really enjoying it

Been 100%ing teardown, also trepang2. and some other games like the escapists, been trying to finish Subnautica, cyberpunk 2077 (my computer cries when I play it)

Edit: just remembered new payday 2 dlc came out, gonna go play that, ive heard its amazing

Almost finished High on Life (I'm determined to clear some Xbox drive space...) and I tried some Glass Road solo challenges, trying to not get my arse kicked the next time I play a human.

I downloaded Hitman from game pass last night and managed to get an hour or so in. Haven't played a Hitman game in a long time so quite enjoyed it.

Otherwise it's been the usual rotation of Rimworld and Forza, but also very much looking forward to Cities Skylines 2. Not sure I've ever been this excited about roundabouts.

Battlebit remastered, it’s crazy fun

A box has just turned up with My City: Roll & Write and Lost Cities (unintended city theme in this order), so I'll be playing those!

Pikmin was released on Switch last week so I've been playing through that. Almost finished 1 and looking forward to starting 2 soon.

Dead Cells, with the Castlevania DLC, on my Steam Deck. Good times

Final Fantasy XVI has been firmly in my PS5 since last week. Thoroughly enjoying it.

Bloodborne on the PS5. Never played it before but after falling down the Elden Ring hole last year I'm slowly working my way through the From series. I beat Sekiro over Christmas, now I've got this in my sights.

Also thinking of starting up a smaller, less.... mentally draining game to play on nights where I just want to kick back and relax after the kids have gone to bed. Any suggestions?

I've been putting a few hours (10h in the last week) into Factorio, with an overall mod that add ages to the game (exotic industries). as always the factory must grow!

D&D Monday to Wednesday and then no plans for the rest of the week. I'll work something out.

I'm currently playing Forza Horizon 5 and NHL 22 on Xbox One.

Just now it's a replay of A Plague Tale: Innocence on Steam Deck; Aliens: Fireteam Elite; and mopping up achievements in Tomb Raider: DE.

Me and a mate also thought it would be a good idea to start Payday 2 seeing as though 3 is coming out soon... plot twist, it was not a good idea!

Nothing at the mo. I've not been playing any games for a while.

Having seen this though I'm now torn between: Northgard, Cities Skylines and HOI4.

Decisions, decisions.

Horizon: Zero Dawn on the Steam Deck and bits and pieces on Gamepass. And an embarrassing amount of Fortnite.

Crisis Core Reunion on Steam Deck, going through it a second time to see if I can manage to 100% the achivements. Initially I though the missions were tedious, but checking them off grew on me.

Mass Effect LE on the Steam Deck. I love those games and it's just a warm feeling to go through them again.

playing csgo with my girlfriend, we aren't very good but we have fun :)

Love TTRPGs (table top role playing games) - for the last few years, mainly playing Wanderhome! No dice, everyone has equal control over what happens. It's awesome!

Spelunky2 needs completing but it's so bloody hard. Soulstone survivor is less frustrating so getting more play time

Oxygen Not Included. Now on a much more powerful PC than all previous times – maybe I won't have to abandon my duplicants when I get to the third asteroid and things get too laggy.

My 4 year old learned about Pokémon Go recently I started playing it again after about 4 year hiatus, haha I stopped playing about the time she was born 🤣

Insanely fun versus campaign in Total War: Warhammer 3 with two of my friends.

My boardgame group bought Blood on the clocktower last week. It's by far our favorite hidden identity game now. Gonna play it again this weekend

Dixit

Now that Steam Next Fest has finished I'll probably go back to the usual habits of playing Apex, Gunfire:reborn, and whatever other easy games I can play with 1-2 friends.

But while it was here Warhaven sucked a lot of my time. When that game comes out it'll find its way into the above rotation just by virtue of fitting the usual formula of; party with friends, kill people, achieve objective.

Otherwise, I've got a backlog a mile long of single-player games I bought and wanted to play, but I just can't stick to any one of them for long enough to feel like I'm really making a dent in it. Further to that I feel like when I have the time to play games, it always overlaps with time to play games with friends, and that always trumps playing a solo game for a few hours.

Arma 3 and Tetris.

I'm not playing anything at the moment. Instead I'm watching pop science videos on YouTube.

AEW Fight Forever. Seen a lot of mixed reviews with a fair bit of (justified) criticism, but I'm having a lot of fun with it

Trying to play though ff16 but it's so difficult because it's so awfull.

It's not ff, it's not an RPG and the performance is terrible and the side quests are dull.

Im renting it and I may just send it back before even finishing it.

Endless Sky, which I'm really enjoying. One of the most fun space themed sims I've ever played. Just call me the space trucker!

Vampire Survivors on my phone.

Addictive as hell. Completed 100%, now going through and completing every level with every character. about 25% of the way there currently.
