Games

For me, it's been Last Epoch which is an ARPG. It's been doing a fantastic job of scratching the itch that Diablo 4 just failed to do.

I finally made it past the campaign and am in the endgame (as far as I understand), and I've had a good time trying to come up and play with various builds on my Runemaster character!

Also, American Truck Simulator for when I just want to turn my brain off and relax.

Started Plague Tale Requiem after finishing the first game. Story, atmosphere, and everything related is a lot of fun.

Only gripe for me is that the combat/stealth encounters are heavily trial and error if you try to not to kill. Maybe I'm too dumb but NPCs cover each others blind spots so good that sneaking past everyone is almost impossible, as they still detect you from roughly 30 m away. Most gadgets are either for killing or alert the whole map. Still a very good game, I'm just a little frustrated that going completely undetected doesn't work out for me.

Almost done with Metro Exodus, love the series though Exodus is dragging on a bit in the last acts or missions IMO. Next up is Gears 5 since it was on sale and I'm a sucker for GoW and Cyberpunk 2077, finally picked it up on sale last week.

Wow classic hardcore, I just can't stop playing it. I'm even leveling as one of the worst spec in the game just because.

I've put a few hours into Payday 3 so far, a shame it's servers got the hug of death. It has one of the most developed stealth systems I've seen in any game. Core mechanics wise it's definitely a worthy sequel to Payday 2.

I've been putting some serious hours into No Man's Sky the last few weeks. Lately I've been getting pretty hardcore about F-Zero 99 as well

still going on with Path of Exile

currently playing Anima : The Reign Of Darkness on my laptop via Bluestacks. it's an ARPG game and i like it.

Counterstrike 2 is going to be released on Wednesday. Cs2 will be the new benchmark in skill based fps games and you can get from day one.

I’m in the beta so I’ve already been enjoying the premier matchmaking system and the glorious new smoke grenades.

Space Engineer with "Ares at War" mod. Just starting out so it's a grind but a relaxing grind.

I loaded up a cyperpunk save to mess with the new perks. Liking air dash and autocamo.

Work has been busy, so i played Call of Duty DMZ after work for some short relaxation. Been doing for months, kinda getting good at it. 6 days ago i was shadowbanned for killing to many players who probably reported me. Now i'm getting matched in high ping >200ms lobby. I swear I've never use hack or hardware cheating things. So i uninstall and start getting into Titanfall2

Crusader Kings 2 with Elder Kings mod.

I've been hooked on "God of weapons", recently. Pretty good rng auto combat meets slim downed "Hades", worth a look and the dev seems to be looking for feedback.

Just starting to properly explore the depths in Zelda TOTK after already spending about 65 hours so far. Have upgraded armour enough at this point that battles are feeling pretty easy with bosses not even doing much damage (eg the

!shadow ganondorf !< fight was only taking quarter hearts of damage)

Still feeling like there is a lot of life and exploring to do before I try finish the main quest.

Mortal Kombat 1. The kameo fighters make labbing the characters quite interesting, so many possibilities!

Bomb Rush rush Cyberfunk, got almost all of the tags, now I'm trying for the ~15 mill score achievements, which I somehow always fail at like 13 mill. pain

Warframe, after seemingly finally shaking a crippling Lost Ark addiction.

There is nothing else out there quite like Warframe.

Playing Last of us 2 while I'm in the middle game of covid.

I'm playing Lies of P. It's a good soul like game, but felt like the dev took some wrong lessons from FS.

I'm really frustrated that the distance that I have to travel to retry each boss is so far. It's like playing DS1 with some flaws that FS grew out of.

Just played the Lamplighters League demo and liked it quite a bit. Only bummer is that it does not play well on steam deck, so I will hold off for a while.

I beat Kingdom Hearts 2 last week, so I'm just starting Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. Taking a bit of a break though, so might not end up getting to it until next week.

Recently played Titanfall 2 and bought the Muse Dash DLC, and man this has been the most fun ride I've been in a while.

First off, Muse Dash. I've bought the base game a long while ago and pretty much cleared all of the hard content it had to offer. Due to the recent controversy, I jumped the gun and bought the DLC earlier than I would have liked, but I did plan on getting it at some point so its not a complete bummer. The main draw of the DLC for me was mainly more content since base game is reeeally small - specially if you are experienced at the game or genre as a whole, and the mods. The mods along with custom charts made the game way more compelling than before. Bless the good people who do game mods, they are actual gods.

Then we arrive at Titanfall 2. To be honest, I did not expect it to run on my i3 potato laptop, but it did... and I got addicted, clocking in 30 hours in like a week and a bit. The campaign is good, the multiplayer is amazing once it clicks, and now I'm replaying the campaign again for the collectibles. It is a genuine breath of fresh air as the majority of multiplayer/online games that I play involve live service stuff, gacha and tedious grind, and I'm not interested in mainstream competitive stuff either with ELO ranking and keeping up with metas. Here I can enjoy fragging to my heart's content and casual competition without the baggage modern gaming entails (battlepass progression, ranked, FOMO, etc.). And even if I get beat by someone better, I view it as a challenge and not pure BS (I'm looking at you War Thunder).
