Amnesia: The Bunker.

Excellent game. Minimally annoying sometimes, but it's worth it. I play it differently than other games to improve the experience: I have a printed map of the bunker (with markings, coloring to mark where I was and where it's safe and a legend), a small music stand lamp (to see the map, the room is otherwise dark) and a piece of paper to write down to-do's and general things to remember. That makes it even more fun, while further making this game a bit more playable for cowardly-me. :D

If anyone plays this game, you need to try that out! It really feels different than "just playing" a game or this game in particular. Try to mix things up so you can have as much fun too!

Age of Empires 2 DE. That is my go to game and I currently play through all the campaigns. There are so many, it is great!

Devast.io, Minecraft, Battlefront 2. all great games

SmokePatch Football Life 23, a modded standalone PES 21 with updated squads, kits and a lot of things, it also has custom things like the gameplay. I guess it's nothing interesting in general.

Playing cyberpunk at last since i got my 4070. My old 1070 just didnt get enough fps

I binged Tunic over the past couple days. I found it extremely rewarding

Still playing Tears of the Kingdom. Diablo IV or FFVI next.

The new Aliens game looks interesting. I've had this xcom itch for a long time, hopefully this will be able to scratch it

I held off on Cyberpunk since even after the performance and bug issues were mostly fixed, I kept hearing complaints about stats and upgrade systems. I heard the next update is going to make a ton of changes and fix the gameplay, but I decided to buy the game now and play a bit so I can see the before/after.

According to steam I have 4 hours in-game, but really that was 2 hours of tweaking settings to try and fix a stuttering issue that made the game unplayable. Turns out my mouse being set to 1000hz polling was the problem; lowered my mouse to 500hz and the game runs smoothly. That has never been a problem for me in any Unity or Unreal game, if RedEngine can't support 1000hz the least they could do is add a popup to tell me that's what the issue is so I don't waste time toggling every setting and reinstalling drivers for no reason. After that I spent like an hour customizing my character, and in the hour in which I was actually playing the game I made my way through some of the intro/tutorial missions.

Not a good experience starting out, but I'm hoping to have enough time this week to finish the intro stuff and finally be able to run around the city.

Picked up Deep Rock Galactic based on recommendations in another thread, not very good at it yet but it's a lot of fun!

I've broken my winning streak, and found my way back into Eve Online again. This time I'm in Faction Warfare, which actually seems like fun, and not an eternal blobfest all over the place.

Beyond All Reason (free and oss RTS)

The new Season of Deep Rock Galactic. I don't really like this seasons weapon frameworks, but there's still some cool cosmetics to unlock. Like a plague doctor mask with a fancy hat. :3

^^*shpelling^^

DayZ, same as I've been playing for the last two and a half year or so. In fact, I'm such a big fan I've even set up two DayZ community servers.

A bit of 'Death Road to Canada' lately--basically the oregon trail but in a zombie apocalypse and everything is randomized/procedurally generated. High replay-value up there with The Binding of Isaac (not quite that good, but it's close). Supports split screen co-op. Banger retro soundtrack. Witty. Do recommend.

System Shock. I'm really enjoying it so far even though the difficulty can be punishing. Kinda reminds me of Bioshock mixed with Metroid Prime. The Bioshock connection is obvious, but I never figured Metroid Prime to be influenced by System Shock.

Same thing I play every week. Coral Island and RCT3.

Coral Island is in Steam Early Access and is as yet unfinished, but is making steady progress and the devs are doing great at keeping everyone up to date on progress. Coral Island is frequently compared to Stardew Valley. Frankly, I don't enjoy SDV. I've tried and tried and it just doesn't do it for me. Coral Island is everything I was hoping SDV would be. It's game play is similar, but I find the whole thing much more enjoyable.

I've been playing RCT3 off and on since I first bought it on CD a million years ago.

Nothing really, unfortunately. Life has been busy lately and, with kids, gaming is almost nonexistent.

This weekend my wife and kids will be out of town for five days and I’m honestly contemplating buying either Tears of the Kingdom or Diablo IV and just going to town on one of those all weekend…

Finally getting around to Outer Wilds, and it's fantastic. Truly one of the better single player experiences I've ever played.

Tears of the kingdom - little late to the party but it’s a fun game.

Moonligther, I saw it in the gamepass and it looked like a chill game. Right now it's super cheap on steam so I decided to buy it.

I am nearly finishing Breath of The Wild, using CEMU instead of using my Switch (which my gf is using to play BOTW and Pokemon Violet), and I am playing Football Manager 2007 for a bit of nostalgia.

I will then finish Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night which is a great metroidvania, for those who loved Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (because it's the same producer, Koji Igarashi).

I ended up finishing my run of Necesse this week. It's like a Terraria and Rimworld crossover. Has some crafting and base building, and some colony management aspects. Overall was pretty good, especially for the relatively low price.

Now I've switched over to Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. I'm about 12 hours in, have a party of level 4 characters, and am overall enjoying it. this is my first CRPG, and also my first foray into PF1e. Coming from PF2e, its a little archaic so far, but not insurmountable.

Diablo, overwatch, RimWorld depending on if friends are available or how much free time I have

Diablo IV. I'm still somewhere around Act 2, and the game is really well done in its genre.

For when I'm tired of slaying demons, I got Back 4 Blood. Haven't been playing this one since its first release, and this time I really got hooked. Pretty good HDR implementation, and overall it's a worthwhile Left 4 Dead successor. I also got all the DLCs, so plenty of content before I run out.

I've mostly been playing A Tale Of Two Wastelands, which is a mod for Fallout New Vegas that takes all of Fallout 3 and adds it to NV. It merges the engine upgrades and gameplay improvements from NV into 3, plus custom content to make it all work. It's a HELL of a lot of fun.
