    Mad Max. I’ve only played for like an hour but it’s been pretty good so far. Reminds me a lot to the Arkham games. I think GOG has it on sale for another 20 minutes. (10 am pacific).

    Slay The Spire. I usually feel neutral about rogue-likes, but this has got me hooked. The combination with the deck building might be it.

      Hello! As someone who fell into the rabbit hole years ago, I would like to inform/warn you that “roguelite deckbuilder” is a genre.

      Sorry / Your Welcome.

    I continued Witcher 3 after a long time. Trying to stop thinking of it as a chore to complete, and instead live it like an adventure where I can go and do something funny for a while without worrying if I get any progress.

      I wanted to play Witcher 3 but I wanted to play the first two games first, and kind of felt like it was a chore. I only got about 6-8 hours into the first one before giving up. I’ll give it another try one day

    Dragon Age: Origins. Playing on the Deck, and it’s taken a while to get used to the remapped PC controls. The game definitely feels 15 years old. Still, the story and characters are good.

    I see some similarities to newer games like BG3, like the idea of the camp, and having a large number of companions to switch between. I actually didn’t like this in BG3. I think the Lighthouse setup in Veilguard, while mechanically similar, felt, and fit into the story, much better.

      Hats off to you for being brave enough to play Dragon Age on a handheld, sir.

      There’s no way that game is 15 years old, that’s crazy. I never played it myself outside of a couple hours but I had friends who did, and I remember it coming out. I swear that was only a few years ago

      I love Elden Ring, it’s one of the very few games to make me break the patient gamers rule (I bought the DLC when it was new)

        Hahaha nice. I bought the game when it was half-off but bought the expansion when it came out… I’m only now actually PLAYING the expansion. Some dumb tree bitch killed me a bunch last night and today is Class of 09 day.

    Just started summer year 2 in my first-ever Stardew Valley playthrough

    Also Terraria with my spouse when we’re too tired to spend brain power on BG3

        It was okay, it looks much better than a 17 year old game from 2007. It starts out slow and the 2nd half of the campaign is more action packed. Story is pretty mediocre. Plays well on Linux with Proton on my potato machine.

          I have it in my backlog, maybe I’ll check it out then. I played through most of Crysis 3 years ago and had fun but that’s all my experience with it. I don’t remember the game anymore

            I did not know there was a Crysis 3 or even a Crysis 2. XD I probably wouldn’t be able to run them though. Crysis Warhead was so bad I’m surprised they made a sequel.

              I really enjoyed some of the environments in Crysis 3. Probably not an objectively great game but it stuck with me. I still think about it frequently

    Trying to finish Psychonauts after several years of playing it on and off

    Just finished:

    • Grim Fandango - remastered edition still holds up with minimal moon logic
    • Filament - puzzles felt a bit “grindy”/guess and check so I used a guide, but it was generally a great game
    • Battle for Polytopia - I played years ago on mobile, but I got a Steam key, so I played and it’s still quite fun; I didn’t play all starting tribes, just a half dozen or so

    In progress:

    • Hogwarts Legacy
    • City of Beats
    • some random, short-ish games (trying to clean out some unplayed games before I go back to work)

    After 12 years, I finally have had a chance to play Sonic 4 Episode 2. Cleared the first world with ease last night and had a real fun time. I have episode 1 on wii but never got to play the second because it never released on wii. I could have at some point gotten it on xbox360, but I had bigger priorities of what games to get back then.
