Uncharted on PS4. Fancied an action game that was tight and linear. I find too open world doesn't respect my time and I don't like grindy. I'm finally comfortable to play a game on easy and whizz though rather than challenge myself more and spend ages on it or never finish it. It's still fun and even on easy, some of the gameplay is repetitive.

Also, always playing street fighter. Used to be V, now VI. Finisnf it is great and fun but it's not as much fun creating combos as V, but the new mechanics are good so overall it's better.

Just finished Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty yesterday, and it's easily one of the best experience I ever had. The game's not perfect, it has bugs, some balancing problems, some cliches. But it has a lot of charm and a very gripping story. I absolutely loved it.

Been playing KP Liberation on Arma 3 again with a group of friends. It's always a blast and older games just have such a nice feel to them.

I have been trying to beat a 2nd run in Slay the Spire. I also have been failing to get past round 15 in that endless mode in Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate.

my advice is stack attack cards in act 1, while specializing for specific bosses. while that's going on, pay attention to relics or cards that might support a build/theme. the rest of the game, try to refine that theme to make it happen as reliably as possible.

also, speed is better then building up towards massive strength.

Just started playing cities: skylines 2 (with gamepass, I didn't preorder) and I think it's good. The performance, while bad, isn't as bad as people are saying. I'm on low settings + 1080p with a gtx 1650 super, and a ryzen 7 5700x and I get around 20-30 frames, which is bad but not unplayable and there will be mods that improve this.

On my 2nd New Playthrough of Elden Ring. I was a STR/FTH build in my first playthrough, so I decided to use the build opposite to that, DEX/INT. I love the Moonveil and the Dark Moon Greatsword, but the Godslaying Greatsword has a good place in my heart. That, and funny dragon lightning. I'm going back to STR/FTH on NG+.

On a side note, beating Malenia for the 2nd time is satisfying as hell

I'm between games right now but I just finished and did a bunch of the extra stuff in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.

I've recently upgraded my pc and I've been playing Anno 1800 with all season pass. I can play that game for 10 hours straight. I really have to tell myself to stop. There is just always something to do in that game, I just love it.

Getting back into Last Epoch again. Really excited to finally have a launch date for 1.0 in February 2024.

Man, I gotta get back to that. I almost cleared the whole first Michigan map entirely and took a break, but I really loved the slow paced thoughtful approach to a "driving" game.

Return to Moria. It's a lot of fun, adventuring through a Dwarven mine with a few friends. It was hard to put down, but I suppose we need to eat and sleep at some point.

How are you getting on? I'm really considering getting this - I get paid today and have a week next week without the family... Been playing and enjoying Planet Crafters and Forever Skies, and I'm in the survival-building-exploring mood at the moment.

I dunno how fun it would be alone, because dwarves are a race that are all about being together and some of the features lean into that, but we're having a lot of fun with it. It's challenging, but not to the point where we feel overwhelmed or lost. And the atmosphere it has is just right, they did a great job taking what we know from the books and the style we got from the movies, and turning that into a video game.
