Timberborn! Update 4 stuff really added a lot.

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.

Battlebit Remastered

Like 3-4 people put together a better Battlefield game than DICE ever did, with up to 127v127 fights, community servers on top of official quickplay, and a $15 pricetag. It's insanely good and this shit doesn't even feel like it's in early access.

Pokémon Violet. I have the dex. I’ve finished the storyline. I just find raiding fun and relaxing.

Finished Midnight Suns on monday iirc. Pretty decent overall, really liked the combat and the relation between characters but god the writers didnt really know when to shut up and even cool dialogues are dragged into the mud because the dialogues get awkardly long, like none of the two characters talking know how to end the conversation. That and the game forcing you through side content makes a game that was close to a 9 to barely a 7.
Playing Ghostwire Tokyo too and i think im close to finishing it too. It has been a fun ride but i dont know if the enemy variety and core gameplay stands on its own for 10+ hours. The setting is amazing and enjoyed most of the side missions i did. Loved learning a lot of japanese culture with the game, its been done with a lot of respect for Japanese folklore.

Destiny 2: The new season feels fantastic.

Carrying on with Warframe but picked up Monster Train again last night and had a ton of fun with it.

Currently playing the Ace Attorney Trilogy! I'm also eagerly waiting for Next Fest to start tomorrow to try out various demos.

I'm playing Pokémon Yellow on my SteamDeck (via RetroArch). The childhood nostalgia I'm experiencing is heart-warming. :)

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.

Solasta - Crown of the Magister cRPG trying to replicate the feel of tabletop RPG as well as possible IMO they did it really well ! Not everything is perfect of course, and it's more combat-centered than my tabletop experience, but I'm really enjoying this first playthrough (playing in coop with a friend).

Divinity - Original Sin 2 RPG with a turn-based combat system, a somewhat open world and interesting storylines I stopped playing on normal and started again on tactician, I was getting bored by the fights becoming too easy during act 2.

Going through World Tour mode in Street Fighter 6 plus a little local play, and Tears of the Kingdom. It's a good time to be a g4m3r

Battlebit remastered. Definitely got curious from their ads, but it is a battlefield experience like no other. Puts 2042 to shame. It looks silly but its challenging in all the right ways.

Tears of the Kingdom Diablo IV Dark Souls 3 Final Fantasy XVI demo

I finally finished Cyberpunk! Now on to Doom Eternal

Lost Ark

I've enjoyed it thus far.

poly bridge 3! very chill but still stimulating game where you get a variety of maps and scenarios to build bridges in. i did have to watch two hours of bridge building tutorials because my knowledge of physics is abysmal but if you passed a physics course in high school i doubt it’s nearly as challenging.

Little bit of Darktide. If you haven’t tried it since the rocky start, it’s not a bad time to get into it again. A lot of the content feels a lot more tight and there is more forgiving mechanics to get good gear. Other than that, more Warframe as the new update gets closer. Also a good time to hop in as well

I've been stuck on Rocket League and Fortnite for years.. 😭

I feel boring after scrolling through all the other replies and just saying Diablo 4. :p

I died against the final boss earlier this week after getting them down to a couple hits left, so I spent all week grinding renown and paragon points and just completely face rolled them this morning. Feels good, man. I can't wait to start on the endgame content.

Other than that, I played that Grimace game on my GBC style emulation handheld. It's... a game. I also played Microsoft's Bejeweled clone in the mobile Xbox app to get rewards points.

Hunt showdown w my mates, rimworld for myself. Looking for a tactical mp fps to tide me over for Fallujah but Sandstorm didn't really click for me. Might wait for Squad to hit a deep sale.

I've been cleaning though some games that I had only partially completed in anticipation that I will need more hard drive space come september. Finished the dlcs for both Spiderman and Horizon zero dawn which I quite enjoyed, and now I'm playing far cry 6 which is okay but definitely not living up to it's own potential.

Playing a bit of DUSK while my computer encodes some video. I find that even while all threads are busy at x265, I can still squeeze it in.

Otherwise: Overwatch 2 and trying to finish Ragnarok on PS5

Forgive Me Father. I rarely play shooters these days but this one is a quite pleasant for short sessions so far with just a tad of old doom-like tactics, but more streamlined, and has nice aesthetics too

I've played a variety of games this past week;

• American Truck Simulator with friends
• Borderlands 3 for mindless gunplay
• Plate up with the wife!

Been playing some RE: revelations 2 on switch, lately been on a Resident evil mood just finches RE2R so going with the franchise a little bit.

Dragon Age: Origins

I remember playing a little bit of Inquisition years ago, but I never got very far. I felt like playing a somewhat old school RPG and I know this game is held in high regard so I'm giving it a shot. So far it seems pretty good but I've only put a couple of hours in.

Also playing Enlisted.

This week, a little Citizen Sleeper, a little of a Doom wad called Lost Civilization and No Man's Sky on Switch.

I'm mostly finished with The Cult of the Lamb - just doing boss rushes and minor cult duties for fun and I have also been playing McPixel 3. I fired up The Binding of Isaac for a quick run, too.

I've been jumping back and forth between The Finals Closed Beta and Battlebit Remastered when I'm not leveling my sorcerer on Diablo IV.

Outside of that, for demos I played the FF16 demo which blew my wig back. Lusant is another one coming from Don't Nod that I played a small chunk of and quit because I knew it was right up my alley and didn't need to see more, have a feeling it'll be a shorter experience. Then I tried Lies of P, which has busted HDR support on PC, so gonna give it a shot on PS5 today. Overall dug the vibe and combat, the influence from Bloodborne is all over the damn game.

Just finished playing the Lies of P demo. Almost rage quit on the last boss but finally beat it this morning. Really enjoyed the demo, very Bloodborne-esque and now looking forward to the full game release.

Been playing some FFXIV, Baldurs Gate 3, Solasta, Divinity Original Sin 1 Enhanced Edition and Cyberpunk in that rotation
