What's everyone playing right now?

Right now, Battlebit Remastered (which I just bought). Despite being not that good at the gunplay yet, I'm doing well and having fun just playing a medic and dragging people out of the line of fire for revives and heals. Highlight of today was frantically healing everyone in a full chopper while we dueled an enemy chopper over a capture point, with the pilot micspamming Pirates of the Caribbean music the whole time. Really brings me back to the good ol days of multiplayer lobbies (without a lot of the casual bigotry - game seems pretty good at actually banning it so far).

Almost done with Control right now. It's a really good game. A little too creepy though!

Control is one of my favorite games. Everything about it was excellent. I'm so glad they're making a sequel.
Control is one of my all time favs, only one of three games I've ever 100%'d on steam.

As far as singleplayer games go, I‘m playing Slay the Spire! I‘ve never played it much before (just modded meme classes) and it finally clicked with me!

Fantastic game!
Slay the Spire is an amazing game. The mobile version works pretty smoothly.

I've mostly been playing Wreckfest on my Steam Deck. Fun to pick up and play a few rounds.

Battlebit

I'm deep into the second act of Ghost of Tsushima and I'm completely baffled how I missed this game when it came out. It's absolutely beautiful in every way possible

Ghost of Tsushima is one of my favorite games ever. I envy you playing it for the first time.
- It's so good. I like the cut of your jib, so I might give Jedi Survivor a closer look.

Replaying Control, I can play this one repeatedly.

Recently became a father and regained my love for my Switch, since it allows me to play in short bursts and pause whenever and wherever I need to. I'm currently playing through Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition and loving it.

Legend of Zelda BoTW. Trying to finish the game before I start playing ToTK.

You're definitely going to burn yourself out on that formula
- Nope, still going strong. Already bought ToTK on launch so I'd have something to look forward to. Got 2 devine beasts down (almost 3).

Having a blast with FF XVI. It's definitely one of the most polished of recent games, everything just looks and plays fantastic. Even if the game is super shallow as soon as you do anything other than the main story. The fantastic voice of Ralph Ineson is the cherry on top.

Agree with you on the polish of FF16, but not so much on the side quests. I find that some of them - not all - add a little extra to the main quest line. But I'm also finding everything in the game to be pretty enjoyable.
- Oh yeah, I was more refering to the structure of the side quests, which are usually simple fetch or fight quests. There's also no variations in outfits and crafting is barely there. But some side quests really do add to the main story. I just went through the side quests before the big Mothercrystal heist - damn, some of those are dark!

Diablo 4. It's good, not great but I think it's a good foundation to build upon. I'm interested to see what Blizzard does for season 1. I don't expect anything dramatic like Diablo 3's latest season, but I'm still looking forward to it.

Likewise. Enjoying Diablo 4 while waiting to see whether Final Fantasy XVI 60fps mode performance will improve at some point.
Got D4 on PS5 and PC, jumping between both of them and a Steam Deck. Really good, mindless game. Still making my way trough the story, since I enjoy narrative content more than the grind.

just beat red dead redemption 2. seriously epic story and amazingly gorgeous environments. going to dabble in red dead online just to get a few more achievements. thinking elden ring next!

Just started Final Fantasy 16 today! Not very far in yet but I am enjoying it. Seems a little easy so far though but at least the combat looks cool lol

Spider-Man. Jesus, this game is amazing. I'm trying to 100% the whole game, so far I'm at 82% on the main story, 100% on The Heist (wanted that costume), and 0% on the rest of the DLC.

Spider-Man is great. After you're done try Miles Morales. I like his active camouflage.
Spider-Man is one of my favorite games. When you're done, try Miles Morales. Is smaller but a whole lot of fun and it's amazing the little details to differentiate how Miles moves vs Peter.

Totk and I started to listen to earthbound music while at work, so I loaded up Mother 1 on 3ds... The save game put me at magicant, and I went back to the starting town and got killed by a death truck... Ninten can't breathe!

Just started back into Elden Ring. It's crazy how much of the map is still left 140 hours in.

Daggerfall Unity and Morrowind on OpenMW. Those games got me more hooked than Skyrim

Wrapping up Hollowknight, finished up elden ring before that. Looking to try out FFXVI.

Was wanting to check out the jedi games too.

Age of Wonders 4. I'm a pretty big fan of 4X games and it's one of the best-streamlined examples of the genre I've found. It has a lot in common with Endless Legend, but feels much simpler for new players to approach. Only downside is that the devs have committed to doing quarterly DLC, with each one costing $10, and the first one is already out despite the game being extremely new.

Still playing Tears of the Kingdom.

I will launch up Tactic Ogre Reborn when I'm traveling. Working on endgame right now in that one.

Lemmy. It's a pretty nice minigame whilst between breaks.

...

what?

Nah this is a legit answer.

Torturing myself with Assassin's Creed series, I just beat Valhalla though, pretty good but could have been better if it was about half as long. That, and Tomb Raider series, made it to Underworld.

I've been playing Battlebit Remastered on Steam and holy shit while it looks awful it's one of the funnest FPS I have played in a while. Super fun, super smooth, and scratches the COD itch from when I was a kid. I HIGHLY reccomend it!

Also Tears of the Kingdom.

That's the low poly shooter right? That actually looks pretty fun. I'll have to try it.
+1 on Battlebit. Battlefield 1942, and similarly Vietnam, were my favorite. I always felt like Dice/EA just kept gradually turning everything up to 11 after that. Battlebit feels like a well balanced, intentional concept, that balances speed, strategy, and the opportunities for ridiculous moments just right!

Signalis - grabbed it on sale and playing through on steam deck.

Stellaris - I've spent too much time building empires only to lose interest in mid/late game.

Re: Stellaris - me too, and I bet a lot of other people as well. It has what my friend group calls "the Civilization problem"; the initial setup and expansion is by far more interesting than the late game when things are more static. Stellaris does it better than the Civ games, in my opinion (mid and late game crises and events help), but still falls into the same trap. I'm not really sure how this could be solved, but maybe something like late-game expansion opportunities (like the L cluster, but more) and more robust internal politics and espionage could help.
- Agreed. I've seen there is a mod to add more mid/late game encounters or content, but I haven't tried it yet. I think more developed diplomatic events would make mid/late game more interesting. Most of my playthroughs end up being an arms race towards the end, which sure that can be a fun aspect of the game, but not super interesting. Very much like civ, and I think you're correct they both suffer from the late game "domination" aspect.
  My idea of a successful Stellaris game it not coming in first, but making it to the end with a functional empire.
  I'm also probably a noob when it comes to Stellaris, but I still enjoy it.
- Glad to know it's not just me. Civ and Stellaris both, game progression for me goes like: fun, fun, fun, yeah screw that guy!, fun ... getting less fun, definitely not as fun anymore, meh.
  I just picked up Cult of the Lamb which is at least silly fun. Bonus points for blasphemy!

Grounded and Cities Skylines

Beat the Miles Morales game recently. Got 100% completion too. Not often I ever complete a game either. Still got a ways to go with Tears of the Kingdom, and then probably a return to Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories. I've gotta beat that game and I can finally play KH2 with a clear conscience.

Spiderman and Miles Morales are one of the very few games I got 100% completion on too. I was just having too much fun
- As much fun as Miles Morales was, the story wasn't very good. The Tinkerer was lame and a hypocrite. Miles just apologized to them for the entire half of the game and got annoying real quick. I really hope Spider-Man 2's story was made by the guys who did the first game and not this one.

Currently playing Death Stranding and feeling fit from the amount of virtual walking and carrying I've done. Next in queue is Everspace 2.

Just got Battlebit. Really reminds me of the good ol BF2 and BF bad company. Just a fun time.

I've been enjoying too... But I also feel like it lacks a little depth

Warframe: Really loving the Duviri update. I'm an old player but there's suddenly a reason to build out a lot of weapons that I've mostly ignored beyond Mastery farming. Fortunately, I kept everything so the only issue is having enough forma.

Minecraft: Randomly wanted to play it again (heavily modded, All the Mods 8, I have to scratch that automation itch). Haven't played in ages, so pillagers were a vanilla surprise and so was the fact you can now dig past y=0 (along with the new interesting caves and berries). In the end, though, I'm still a dirty melon farmer that subsists solely off my melons.

Kenshi: I also started Kenshi a bit ago. It's an interesting game, but it's certainly a slow burn which I don't necessarily like. I'm up to 10 characters now, but only two of them can handle combat with any degree of competency and everyone else keeps falling over from the slightest breeze. I'm currently just living out of Squin until enough passing by herbivores get stomped that my team can handle real combat. Fortunately, mining is extremely lucrative so I don't have to worry about food.

For Forma, it can be easier to farm platinum through various means and then buy the 3 for 35 plat bundles. That’s my typical weekly grind when I want to accelerate the forma gathering. There’s also a way I remember seeing where you can farm fully built ones but it’s not the most efficient
I've been thrilled with duviri for the same reason! I've gained some respect for weapons that I had previously disregarded and sold after leveling. It really feels like it's putting new life into the game. At least to someone who's gotten through most of it.

I'm still working through Tears of the Kingdom.

I've also been playing the boardgame, Wingspan.

Zelda link between worlds.

I'm obsessed with Satisfactory at the moment. Just every minute of every day building these beautiful factories

I sunk in over 100 hours into update 6, but got a little disheartened when I ruined one of my factories. I am keeping an eye on the updates and as soon as 1.0 drops, I am going back in.
- Update 8 is on Experimental now, and they've added Lumen for Unreal Engine 5, it makes everything look so much more beautiful

Playing Zelda: Tears of the kingdom.

It’s pretty cool. The world is massive and exploration, especially of the underground is a lot of fun.

The game does contain a lot of busywork and the control scheme is pretty different from other games I play. That hampers my ability to continue with other games I was playing so I’m in a rush to end it.

Planning on FFXVI and a new Minecraft play though with my daughter after TotK.

I'm almost done playing through the Convergence mod for Elden Ring, and it's so good! If you liked the base game I highly recommend giving it a try.

I'm also playing a bit of Diablo 4, which has its problems but is pretty fun with a couple of friends.

I have been finishing up Tunic. The game is fantastic and I love seeing all of the small little things that have been accessible the whole time that I have since gained the knowledge to interact with.

After I finish that, I want to work on Dread Delusion.

Just started diablo 3 on switch, got it a month or two ago on sale, started playing a day ago. Damn it's fun!

I played d1 100 years ago, and havent messed with it since. Don't know how long I'll be playing, but having a blast for now.

I haven't played Diablo in a minute, wonder if it'd run on my broke ass set up 🤔

Currently playing League of Legends: Wild Rift.
Game is much better in terms of controls, and the map is smaller, less cluttered, with a semi-normal community (compared to LoL).

Highly recommend for those into MOBAs.

Steam Deck:

This means warp (co-op rogue-like that's pretty fun)
Dicey Dungeons

PC:

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
Guild Wars 2

Been kinda burned out on videogames, I've been playing tears of the kingdom but I got the master sword about two weeks ago and haven't gone back to the game since.

Still play Dungeons and Dragons twice a week

Atomic Heart. This game is amazing. It's been such a long time since we had a high budget single player fps with level design that not linear corridors and that are highly innovative in terms of architecture and style. Plus the fact that it's one of the best looking games out there, and there's lot of diversity (enemy styles, upgrades, puzzle rooms, weird story, etc). I nearly skipped it completely because of the Russian aspect, glad I came back to it. Fyck Putin for nearly making me miss on this awesome product. The only negative I have to say about it is the damn respawning resurrecting robots.

Back and forth between Diablo 4 and Crusader Kings 3.

Still playing Tears of the Kingdom. I’m about 70 hours in.

Heh same. I'm about 2x the time as you but uh... Only have 2 of the main dungeons completed 😂
I have a LOT of battery now though, so at least there's that!
- About the same time as you, but main story complete! Wanted to get ahead of the spoilers, but I've hardly touched the side regions.

Elder Scrolls Online, now and forever.

Lot of content; recently got into PvE stuff after doing Cyro PvP forever. Double AP just announced today too, so it'll be a fun two weeks coming up.

Jump Ultimate Stars online and Chrono Trigger on DS

Batman Arkham Knight on PS4

Tomb Raider (2013). I'm really enjoying it.

Cyberpunk !

Same! I'm slowly working my way through a melee build. Definitely won't finish before the patches change the gameplay significantly. Not sure how that'll feel mid playthrough
- Im doing a melee build too! Still early off but love the katana can’t wait for mantis blades

FFV pixel remaster on PS5, TotK on switch, and Lufia 1 on my retroid pocket.

Last night I finished getting all of the author medals for all of the campaign tracks for Trackmania Nations Forever. I really enjoyed E01 and E04 after I got the hang of them, I needed a podcast for E05, and E02 and E03 can eat my ass.

Been doing a lot of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous as my main game lately. Decided I wanted to do a third run with multiromance since the new companion is in, and it's worth it - Ulbrig is fantastic. Now I can have my posse of Daeran, Arueshalae, and Ulbrig!

Aside from that? Powerwashing Sim has been blissful for taking my mind off work stress. Should really get back into Dorfromantik for the same reason.

I've been playing almost exclusively Street Fighter 6 since it came out. I'm still terrible as it's my first SF game, but I am having a ton of fun

Still trying to get into Tears of the Kingdom after 50 hours. I absolutely loved BOTW but I really have trouble feeling involved with TOTK, it feels like I've already played the game. They slightly changed everything just a bit, just enough to change the gameplay feeling but not enough for me to feel the same appeal to explore the world.

I'm not usually a fan of triple a games, but I bought Doom Eternal yesterday and its been really good so far.

Been playing The Last Story for the Wii. Really enjoying the story so far and the battle mechanics are pretty interesting.

In a game swap with a friend, I've been exploring Outer Wilds, and it's great!

I'm replaying Heaven's Vault. I'm liking it a lot better this time through; the last time I played (a couple years ago) I really felt like I wasn't getting the big picture. This time I discovered a few big secrets I never found before, and now I'm into new game plus.

Street Fighter 6. I never got into SF 5, but this iteration kind of makes me want to play all the time.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance, I started playing AC:Syndicate too. I just want to try to play the games I've been meaning to get to before Starfield and CP2077:Phantom Liberty release because then I will have no time at all for any other games.

I'm an old lady so I'm playing farm tycoon on switch and Kairosoft's dream town island on my phone.

Been working through the new update in V Rising with a buddy of mine. Bloody good time

Winding down on Zelda: TotK. Just started Path of Exile which has been in my Steam library for ages. I want to play Diablo IV, but I don't want to pay $70.

Tears of the Kingdom and fallout 76

Subnautica has been amazing! It is one of the best open world games ever made and I highly recommend it!

Oh lord, are you playing subnautica because of the Oceangate news lmao

Legend of Heroes Trail in the Sky SC

its been a nice little game so far. its a pretty simple jrpg with a focus on story and characters. its fantasy of sorts but isnt quite so goofy or convoluted as square enix games like to be. I've been good so far

My favorite game series ever. Hope you'll have great time with it.
Also you can get the EVO sprite patch (more modern character drawings) and voice-over patch, if you haven't already.

You should try the Yakuza games. I'm currently on Yakuza 0 with 150 hours in it. I'm gonna have to play through again to get all the achievements, but it has been one of most fun games I've ever played.

A super modded Skyrim SE. It's my happy place.

Space Engineers. I'm kinda loving it tbh

God of war on the SteamDeck ^^ I remember when it was a PS4 exclusive and I really wanted to play it. It feels incredible to be able to play, while holding the whole machine in my hands.

First witcher right now. Tried it like 10 years ago and couldn't get past the clunky controls. In the meantime I've read most of the books and played the other games, so I had to give it a go and this time around I'm really enjoying it!

Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Super hard. Super fun. If you weren’t sure about trying it, highly recommend.

Also really looking forward to Jagged Alliance 3. Fingers crossed for an actually good sequel.

playing nfs unbound currently

Black Mesa.

I started with Half Life 2 and played a lot of Counter Strike back in the days. This brings back memories even if I never played it and it's way better than I thought, too!

DayZ and Dwarf Fortress. The DF official soundtrack is so ooooo good

Final Fantasy XVI God of War 3 Remastered Remnant From the Ashes (with a friend) Ace Attorney Chronicles Destiny 2

Kinda just slowly working my way through all that. I tend to bounce around games a lot.

Just now finished a complete run in Titan Quest - main campaign and all 4 DLCs in all 3 difficulties!

Overall time - 9 days, 21 hours and 25 mins. Char level 78 out of 85. Too many deaths - too embarrassing to tell XD

Really enjoying Timberborn.

Zelda and Brotato. Brotato is like the actualization of what all the Vampire Survivors clones could be. Unlike the rest of the genre, you're not getting massive permanent scaling boosts, just unlocks for items that can appear in the runs roguelike style.

Been going on rotation between Factorio, Path of Exile, and Need for Speed Underground 2 for a few months now. Hard recommend all 3

Underground 2 might be one of my favorite games of all time. I played it so much growing up that the green 350z is probably forever ingrained into my brain

Still leveling in Diablo IV. I really like that it feels like Diablo 2, but has all the qol features from Diablo 3.

Also the storyline is fantastic.

Been replaying Risk of Rain 2 recently. Modded Terraria on the side.

This is one of the few games I will continue to play forever, simply because it is so fun. I love it.

I've been stuck on All The Mods 8 (Minecraft "kitchen sink" modpack) for the last week or two. Kinda just caveman-ing my way through all the quests. Playing with Minecolonies and setting up an RFTools Builder in the mining dimension so I don't have to manually mine most resources any more. I keep meaning to get back into ComputerCraft, maybe that's my objective for this evening.

How stable is ATM8? It's been a while since I tried running one of the ATM packs, but I remember having some serious lag issues.

TF2

Robots or push little cart?

League of Legends aram only Battlefield 2042 Hogwarts legacy 25 hours in really enjoying it.
