Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.

Yepthatsme,

Metro Redux was free on Steam so I started that and am not disappointed

Hadriscus,

Haven’t played the latest but the first two were just amazing. The atmosphere and worldbuilding… I loved wandering in metro stations turned towns, hearing the chatter and activities around me. I think that was most prominent in the second game iirc

Managing to squeeze at least one excursion on Hoxxes IV every morning before my gf wakes up.

Leave No Dwarf Behind!

Nelots,

Rock and stone brother!

Crazazy,

I decided to load up tropix again. The game is so much more simplistic than I remember it being when I was like 9

punter,

BG3 The player is given so much freedom. This is what gaming used to feel like.

D4 when friends are playing. It is getting monotonous though. I was going to explain more but everyone here already understands.

n1njaznutz,

Exoprimal on Xbox Series X. Sublime imo.

MrBubbles,

Oh, boy. I have quite a list for this week.

Gothic 3 - Gothic is my favorite series and last year I started playing the games again. Now I’m at the third, and it has definitely improved a lot since I last played it (13 years ago). It’s a shame that it’s unfinished, but definitely playable and a good gaming experience.

Baldur’s Gate 3 - I never played any D&D game, not Planescape Torment, no Icewind Dale, no Neverwinter Nights, no Divinity or any other game that is close to this one. But I bought it, not knowing if I would like it, because of the salty tweets from developers working for big publishers. I only played for 3 hours and as someone who is unfamiliar with most things related to this game, I think it’s nice. I feel that I can’t fully appreciate it to its real value right now, but I’m sure that given the time I will.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - I got deranked to Silver 2 again and I think I’m going to take a break from competitive, at least. I find it really hard to keep up, it just feels that everyone’s aim is better than mine and I don’t have the time and resources right now to learn this game. I still enjoy Arms Race, though.

Deep Rock Galactic - I’m playing for more than 200 hours now. I only play as Engineer and I’m close to getting that Gold promotion. Gets a bit boring when I’m playing too much, but otherwise it’s great for co-op play, and fun.

TransplantedSconie,

BG3. Within two minutes of the cut scene to start the game, my Bard touched something and immediately died. It’s just like I remember!

VioletteRei,

Switching between FFXIV, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Spider-Man Miles Morales

siliril,

I had really enjoyed the ea of BG3 so I’m pumped to play the full game! After two hours I’m pleased to say I made my character. Lol.

schwimmbux,

Just got Back into valorant. The Grind hurts. +Started elden ring when im in for sth non competitive

Thadrax,

I tried to play Baldurs Gate 3 but for some reason, it runs really poorly on my system so I refunded it. On the plus side, a friend of mine has caught up in Diablo 4 so we played some multiplayer which was great fun.

And I played some Timberborn, which seems fun at least for a while. Probably not a long term game for me though.

ThickQuiveringTip,

Slowly playing through Diablo 4. I like it, but some of the writing is a bit lame like in Diablo 3. But I much prefer the item drops, art direction and setting of D4. The side quests are too many and too repetitive. The dungeons are also a bit repetitive, but I only do the dungeons that I want. Overall I am having a good time, but I am not rushing home to play it.

Puddle,

I just started spore. It’s hilarious! I had never played but heard great things.

Also playing black desert. It’s my first mmo style game. It’s buggy but has a lot of fun content for a really affordable game.

Always fall back to elden ring and dark souls 3.

mitch8128,

Oxygen not included, it’s a fantastically detailed colony sim if you like physics and colony sims, you are in for a treat, it’s like if rimworld, minecrafts redstone system and the powder toy had a baby in the best way possible

RxBrad,

Still taking my time with Yakuza Kiwami…
