Hogwarts Legacy for PC. It’s a blast. There’s so much to do and explore. I’ve logged twenty hours and I’m not even halfway through the main storyline.

Cyberpunk 2077. I think I'm close to the end, finishing the side quests that have any substance to them and then the main story and I want more.

Between all the bugs, the glitching and the crashing, I should have been sick of it by now, but there's something about this setting and story that is just so gripping.

Can't stop thinking about what could have been if it lived up at least partially to the expectations.

what bugs are you still encountering? I think the most common issue I encountered is NPC's T-Posing for a glimpse sometimes when they are rendered/loaded in view.

A bunch of ocarina of time randomizer and World of Warcraft.

Diablo IV new season has started! I'm only few hours in but it's quite fun so far. Lots of people so live events are much more full. Weirdly enough the servers seem to be more stable too. I still hadn't had much luck with the new gimmick of putting hearts into your rings but it seems fun. The battlepass is quite interesting too. The season 0 lacked direction I feel unless you we're really hard core - now it's more approachable for casual market.

The Outer Worlds came up on humblebundle choice this much and I've just reached the second zone in the game and honestly it's awesome. People were reviewing that it's quite shallow and underdeveloped but I kinda like smaller feel. The story and production is entertaining - it feels like Fallout but more wackey. Some parts do feel like it could use more "RPG" though. Like the first big choice of the game didn't feel that impactful.

Just started Phoenix Point today. Really itching for some fresh XCOM and I don't want to play too much Xenonauts 2 before full release.

Wife and I have been working our way through Sons Of The Forest while we wait for Baldurs Gate, I'm hoping to get some time to myself soon so I can keep playing Metal Gear V

Nova Drift - a survivor/rogue like x asteroids space shooter. I consistently reach wave 200 every run and still try to git good enough to get beyond wave 300 every run. This game just won´t let go of me.

Finally reached Phase 4 fornthe first time in Satisfactory, so I started another playthrough of Hollow Knight to celebrate.

Been playing wrath of the righteous and Ghost Of Tsushima

I've been absolutely addicted to Enter The Gungeon, tryna get all the achievements. Probably the GOAT roguelike

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Any map-staring enthusiasts? I've been playing Europa Universals 4 lately.

Started as Ethiopia, got up to Egypt before the Ottomans but they got Syria. I got all of the Arabian Peninsula and nearly all of East/Central Africa, but I've been so behind in tech that I can't actually challenge the Ottos (kept them at bay by allying a strong Poland/Commonwealth). Finally, around 1600 I'm caught up and about to start making my final push towards Constantinople.

I just finished The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos. It was fun. Nothing groundbreaking, but an entertaining turn-based party-based rpg, with an emphasis on tongue-in-cheek humor. I recommend it if you like that sort of thing.

Finally picked up God of War last week on sale, so I've started that now for the first time. Liking it so far after just around 2-1/2 hours, and looking forward to seeing how it unfolds.

[–] VanitasTheUnversed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I just bought a wheel and shifter, so I've just been cruising around in Forza.

Mainly trying to get used to it because it's not the same as driving irl.

[–] Bloodwoodsrisen@lemmy.tf 1 points 2 years ago

Flip-flopping between Minecraft Bedrock and Techtonia. The latter just came out and i'm struggling my way through it

Well, originally my plans were to check out the newly launched Season 1 of Diablo 4, but the news on that has been very... whelming to say the least. I haven't crossed it off the list yet, but it surely won't have any sort of priority for me.

I'll probably be trying to spend a little bit of time in Destiny 2 for the Solstice event, but that also depends - past versions of it were incredibly grindy and I'm already a bit burnt out on D2.

Other than that, I've been having fun kicking back and playing the American and Euro Truck sim games, while listening to a podcast or having a TV show playing on the second screen. No time limited events, no pressure, and how much "grinding" I want is completely up to me. It's a quite nice change of pace from the live-service model of recent games.

Finally got into X4: Foundations after remapping all the controls and I’m about 300 hours down the rabbit hole total and 90 on my current save.

An Advanced Electronics and Turret Component bottleneck is crippling almost every faction preventing ship and station building.

I’m desperately trying to get my own stations producing while fighting off a Xenon invasion of the Free Families which has so far claimed 3 systems.
