Hell Let Loose WW2 shooter. It has a great in-game community, and they just released the British faction too (which is a bit rough around the edges right now, admittedly).

No politics please. Don't be a dick.
@sideone, this is which I most play since several Years. 100% free, Windows, Linux, Mac, one of the best free games ever.

Nothing has displaced Deep Rock Galactic for me for quite a while. It's just so much fun to play - with friends, strangers, or solo - all are good.

Bosco is such a great wingman.
Currently playing a mixture of The Witcher 3 and Battle Bit Remastered.
Playing BOTW and cat cafe manager. These games be so cozy!
Tabletop RPGs, online sadly. Hard to find people in my town who are up for some adventures with pen and paper. And copious amounts of dice.
League Of Legends and No Man's Sky.
Running through the tomb raider trilogy, it's free in ps catalogue and I'm really enjoying the story as I'm just trying to get through them rather than find every trinket I'm the game. I might try playing more games like this as a lot I burn out on 2 thirds through or get distracted by another game.
Still finishing Zelda TOTK - it's one of the best games ever made.
Mass Effect, Star Trek Resurgence, Forspoken, Skyrim, The Last of Us Pt 1.
Yakuza Like a Dragon.
Currently about 25-30 hours into Days Gone (ps5) and thoroughly enjoying it.
The moral of that story is a) don't listen to ign b) metacritic user score is more relevant than critic score
Then need to finish Jedi survivor which I quit half way because of the bounty (and various other) bug(s)
Friend put me onto Control. Picked it up at discount and enjoying it so far.
A small indie gem called Impaler. If you just want to blast things into bloody bits, this is a great time.
mainly elite dangerous and banished atm
Forza Horizon 5's going to have a Barbie crossover soon so that's definitely on my to-play list
Street Fighter 6. The game is too god damn addicting.
Got 7 Days to Die currently on the mind with it's alpha 21 release. Also recently returned to swtor and am enjoying a bit more of a casual pace.
Divinity 2 Original Sin, after that either going to do a modded playthrough of Total War: Three Kingdoms or play the Batman: Arkham series.
I started some TotK, but mostly just been fiddling with the PC to get it running nicely - I would play it on Switch but a smooth 60fps is what I crave these days.
Also got the kids Lego 2K Drive, my son loves Lego and especially likes making cars so this is right up his street, the building mechanics are pretty cool and I’m sure you can make some truly crazy stuff with it. It’s early days but I would give it a recommend so far.
That smooth 60 is what I want, and I think that it won't be too long until I get into Switch emulation. But totk does play pretty well on native hardware, for the most part. I don't think Zelda is one of those games that absolutely requires 60 fps. Controversial opinion, I know, but Zelda looks just fine at 30 fps. When it does achieve 60, it's a little jarring tbh. I'd rather if the system can't run it at a stable, constant 60 that it instead locks in at 30. I'd rather play at 30 all the time than 60 sometimes.
Playing Diablo IV! Just finished the somewhat lackluster campaign which is definitely a prologue to something much more grand coming in the future expansions. But nobody really plays it for the story, right...
Been holding off due to the price and amount of friends who said they already beat it.
It is indeed quite expensive but considering how many hours I have played Diablo 2 and 3 as well as the extreme replayability of D4, the price per hour is actually low in my case. If you like the Diablo gameplay, it's a lot of fun!
Cassette Beasts (really good if you love Pokemon but are bored of Pokemon and want something a bit different)
Chivalry 2 (mindless stabby fun, but I've gotten to a point where I'm good enough to know I suck but too old and busy to get better)
Runescape (never played as a kid, my friends got me into it earlier this year then they stopped playing lol)
I wish Diablo and Zelda were my answers.
Just started Cassette Beasts last night. It' super cute. It's a great change of pace from when I need a break from Diablo 4.
edit: I just realized this mag was UKcasual and not Casual. I'm not in the UK at all, sorry :(
I've been getting back into World of Warcraft the past few weeks. Really enjoying playing solo and just levelling alts instead of the almost second job level of commitment that I used to have when raiding years ago.
Been eyeing that Battlebits Remastered on steam as well - might pick that up as it looks chaotic fun.
Oceanhorn, while I'm thinking about what my next "real" game will be. Sometimes I like to chill with some low stress little games in between, y'know?
My newest minor obsession has been Dungeon Defenders 1, though I wish I was playing Ace Combat 7.
Started Tears of the Kingdom a day before release. Not played anything else since. And the size of this game, it might be a while before I play anything different.
Really enjoying Diablo 4 at the moment, first game in a while that I can spend more than an hour playing before getting bored. Also been playing Chivalry 2 occasionally with friends just for some light hearted fun.
