Wreckfest and specifically the multiplayer! Class C semi-clean or even just free for all races are soooo good.
That’s a recommendation you don’t see often. I’ll add it to my wishlist.
I recently tried Original Sin 2 two weeks ago with the Baldur’s Gate craze. I’m not really a RPG player but I wanted to try it to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.
Conclusion: I really don’t like RPGs :p
Well now you know :D
I mean there are different kinds of RPGs. Maybe you just didn’t find your specific one It’s out there Waiting for you
Hope you have more fun with it than I did. XD
Since I finished Starfield. I’ve had an itch for more space exploration. I decided to get back into Elite Dangerous. I haven’t played it for a good couple years. I bought the latest DLC for it when it was released. I just never got around to playing it. I’m absolutely loving the space legs.
I’ve been going from system to system. Mapping each planet and moon. Landing on those that I can. Exploring for geological features and biology samples. All while marathoning my favourite YouTube channels.

I love Elite, but i always quit when i try to follow builds and everything requires engineering, and those are just too much of a grind for me.
Jedi Survivor. It ran like shit when I bought it at launch, so I waited a bit and it’s been great so far.
I was just thinking about this one. Loved the first one and have been waiting for it to be all patched up. How did you play it?
After years of Skyrim losing me to its jank, my mod list has reached a size of 450 and thus critical mass: Skyrim has finally pulled me in!
I‘m also playing Hollow Knight and a bit of Mario 3D Land on the Switch, so I‘m havin‘ a grand ol‘ time these days
Unciv
tell me more
Opensource FOSS civ clone based on Civ 5. Works well as a mobile game which I enjoy because decent mobile games are hard to find.

I started South Park The Stick of Truth.
I never was a big fan, I only ever watched a handful of South Park episodes back then. Regardless, it’s pretty good even if you haven’t watched most of it.
For sure, if you absolutely hate South Park, maybe don’t get this…
But if like me you just never really got that much into it or haven’t really kept up with it, it’s absolutely fine.Anyhow
In it, you start playing as a mute South Park newcomer protagonist who himself joins a town-wide bunch of LARPERs in an adventure that goes off the rails.
It doesn’t shy from breaking the fourth wall.
It’s utterly fucking stupid at times, which is expected.Pretty fun so far.
Love that game. Had a joint playthrough with some of my friends back in college. Well I mostly watched and smoked weed, but I was there. I’ve also only seen a handful of South Park episodes but that game was a fun experience.
It’s very fun. I also really enjoyed the sequel, even if it felt like it lost some of its charme and attention to detail in exchange for scope and combat depth. Felt a little harsh to switch to the next one, but I had a lot of fun either way.
I recently finished Hyper Light Drifter. It was decent, pretty good level of challenge in boss battles or when the enemies surround you. Backtracking to find secrets was a chore though. And cloud saves didn’t work which was a bummer.
Before that was another attempt to enjoy No Man’s Sky. I just can’t do it, too many bafflingly stupid design decisions.
Now I’m loading Red Dead Redemption 2 onto my Steam Deck. Finally time to undertake what I hope to be my favorite wild west adventure ever.
I might start RDR2 alongside you. The controls and lack of time have kept me away from the game, but I have been itching for a game like it for such a long time.
I’ll download it on my Steam Deck tonight
I just finished Hexalogic and Grand Mountain Adventure: Wonderlands, and both are fantastic. The first is an interesting take on sudoku that gets pretty challenging near the end, and the second is what happens if you blow up Ski Free to a full length game.
Other than that, continuing on with Mass Effect Legendary (first ME playthrough), Skyward Sword, and Blasphemous: Wounds of Eventide. I’m almost done with Zelda, and I’ll probably switch to Tokyo Xanadu Ex+ afterward. I’m near the start with the others, and I’ll probably play some small games here and there.
When I’m not playing baldurs gate 3, I’m stopping in on baldurs gate 1 which I didn’t play back in the day(I only had 2), The original kingdom hearts, a second playthrough of final fantasy remake in anticipation of rebirth, outer worlds, midnight Suns, guardians of the Galaxy, star ocean the last hope, and thr ever present vampire Survivors and Binding of Isaac. I’ve been hopping games frequently recently.
I admire your ability to keep track of all that. I actively play FF14 to fill my MMO slot and then some other game that is my mainstay at the time. If I dare even touch another serious title, it tends to completely push out the prior one, so I have been really trying hard not to start another bigger game while I’m not done with the last one.
It’s how I’ve been playing Yakuza 0 for the last entire year, coming back every half eternity. I really need to just sit down and play a title or take forever.
Ff14 is the reason my Backlog got as bad as it did. My plan was to quit after end walker but instead I never even finished the story and I hate myself for it cause I played since 1.0, but every time I go back I just keep thinking of every other game I could be playing instead and don’t wind up playing more than an hour.
I am just barely at the start of Shadowbringer now and I’ve been playing for more than two years now. I personally really enjoy having an MMO to continuously play next to other games, but it definitely doesn’t help with my backlog either, lol
Troy, a total war saga. This is my first total war experience and I’m having a blast. Still getting to know all the mechanics though
Quake 4, bog standard 7th gen corridor shooter and the half way point makes the game slightly more tolerable, just enough to be considered ‘good’. On the bright side the lighting is great in darker areas, something that iD Tech 4 games excel at. I don’t know why most modern games dark areas look like you’re walking downtown at 9pm, when it should be much darker depending on the game.
My patient game would be Slay the spire, I still play it on either switch or Android several times a week.
However, this year I did something unusual for myself and not patient: I bought Zelda: tears of the kingdom (I did wait about a month after release). Ive already put probably 300 hours into it, and still have quite a bit more I can do, so the $/hour of entertainment value there I don’t think ive matched.
Stray. I have been wanting to play it for a while and it’s currently on sale.
The environment is pure eye candy to me.
I started playing Stray on my Steam Deck a while back. It runs pretty much perfectly but I’ve got some problems with my left hand (I suffered a stroke last year) so I had to give up after a while. I too really loved the environment. The game is beautiful. I can’t wait for my hand to get better, so I can finish it.
I just finished the Psychoscape DLC for Borderlands 3. :)
