  • Last of Us part 1. Never played a Last of Us, but streaming to the steam deck has got me playing more single player games.

  • Finished the campaign for D4 over the weekend, still lightly dipping into TOTK, trying not to rush through it.

    Waiting for the first season to not burnout on D4, probably in need of picking up another game here soon. Really could go from something like Stardew….

  • Deep Rock Galactic on my own (rock and stone!), Stardew Valley with my wife, and Boomerang Fu with my kids. I'm visiting family next week, so I'll need to decide on something to play on my Deck.

  • Stellaris, all day every day. I'm not exaggerating either. Last weekend you could play it for free, so I thought why not give it a shot, you know? I like sci-fi themed games and I haven't played a 4X game in a while. So I give it a shot and... it's suddenly 1AM. So I buy the game. And most of the earlier expansions.

    And now I play it every day. And when I'm not playing the game, I think about it. What will I research? How can I improve my economy? Will I attack my dickhead neighbours for laying claim to MY systems? Nah, just kidding. I'm actually thinking on HOW I'm going to attack them. A game hasn't hooked me this bad in a long while.

    • You know what's the worst part of Stellaris? Every time you think that you know all the content and that it's getting boring, the devs just crank out a new DLC that significantly alters how the game plays.

      So, it gets another couple of play-throughs.

  • Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Great RPG with half baked kingdom management tacked on. I'm still enjoying myself though.

    Also, obligatory Tears of the Kingdom. I'm trying really hard to stay focused on saving Hyrule despite the dozens of distractions pouncing on me at every turn.

  • Beat Celeste so decided to try Ori & the Blind Florest and I like it so far. Also been playing Battlebit occasionally and started Horizon Zero Dawn.

  • Souldiers was on sale, and I have been wanting to play the game for a really long time. It got a lot of flack on it's release, because of bugs and performance issues, as well as complaints about difficulty, and class viability.

    Well, IDK if the devs had to fix a lot of it or what, but it is in great shape now, and I kinda regret not playing it earlier. This game is fantastic! Great action RPG mechanics, combined with really great encounter design. All set in beautiful pixel art. I think it is kind of a mistake for it to throw you in a hard dungeon right away, and that is turning a lot of people off. But the design of all the encounters had me get through it.

    I really like this game, and think the reception it got right off the bat is super unfortunate. I hope the developers aren't discouraged from making something else like this again, and can instead file off the rough edges that made it unpalatable to a large audience. I feel like the quality of the graphics really drew a lot of people in that weren't down for what Souldiers was going for. But it is quickly becoming my favorite metroidvania-ish action platformer RPG.

  • I got a good deal on Assassin's Creed II and finally figured out how to hook up an x-box controller to my PC (yes, I'm dumb). I never played any of the AC games other than the first one when it originally came out, so I'm excited to get done with work and give it a shot.

  • Currently investing some time back in ESO for a bit to check out the newly released Archanist class... not super impressed so far tbh. I mostly play GW2 these days so coming back into ESO again everything feels super clunky and slow for some reason, yikes. On single player titles, I have been dipping into The Witcher 3 a bit since I recently got a new rig that can run it at top settings, which is nice.

    • Those are my two main MMO's. I was grinding GW2 hard when the new ESO expansion dropped and I've been eyeing it. Seems the new class is meh. Even LuckyGhost seemed to drop it quick. So maybe pass on this one for now?

  • I remain enthralled by TotK

    • Second. I'm taking my time and enjoying the exploration and everything. I'm sure this will keep me busy for a few months before I move to find Silksong.

      • I'm some ~150 hours into it at this point, haven't even gone near the depths beneath the castle. Crazy how much content there is in this game; My wife and I want to play Diablo 4 together at some point soon, but for the moment we've just been cuddling up and both playing Zelda instead ... basically since it came out.

  • Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. Still. And probably for the next few months ;)

  • Playing mostly Honkai Star Rail, and I’m in the middle of a Mass Effect trilogy run - quite literally, since I’m halfway through ME2.

  • Detroit become human is great! The universe is incredible

    • I found it surprisingly nuanced, one of the few games where I will sit through the cutscenes

      • I wasn't expecting much, I just heard of it and tried it out but it's good!! The question of ai conscience feels very pertinent rn and the story is fun. I like the choices and different paths that we can take
