still playing starfield and fortnite. got back into call of duty world war 2 and tried ghosts but campers are everywhere
Cities: Skylines 2! Poor performance aside it’s easy to see the potential, and it’s still a lot of fun. I still get around 30 fps at 1440p in my small town
Yeah the performance is crap but at least it is the kind of game where you can play with worse framerate pretty alright.
I’m waiting for the mod update, hoping they will have fixed most of the bugs/performance by then and the mods can fix the rest.
Glad that the base game seems to be sound.
Diablo 2 hardcore. Currently gearing up to take on hell with my javazon.
Also playing some super Mario wonder. It’s a very fun and enjoyable game so far.

It’s been a long time, but I remember liking Jaal, Vetra, Drack, and Peebee a lot. I also remember Peebee being controversial in terms of you love her or hate her.
I’ve been getting into Underrail. Isometric turn based post-apocalyptic RPG, heavily inspired by the original fallout games.
I’ve never been into turn based games, but the setting and style with this one convinced me to try it. I’ve also had this problem with RPGs for years where I try to create a perfectly balanced character. I always want to be able to dabble in all aspects, and that basically makes my characters duds. My first few experiences with this game fell flat for this reason.
Finally, I decided to commit to a specialized build; melee, intelligence, telekinesis. It finally clicked and I started feeling like I was actually roleplaying as my character and not just checking off virtual boxes. Only a few hours into my playthrough but it’s fantastic so far.
Wasteland 3 is a very approachable CRPG styled game. It’s not as granular in character build as Underrail because rather than playing as one character, you always have a party. You are encouraged to hyperspecialize each character, as dialog and skill checks will roll from whoever has the highest skill in the party.
I recommend WL3 over WL2 because the presentation is much more polished, a lot of unnecessarily complicated skills from WL2 have been collapsed in WL3, and the story feels more focused and doesn’t drag in the middle as WL2 does.
Tbh I’ve wanted to try one of them for a long time, just never got into the genre. Now that I’m more interested I may pull the trigger, although I’ll probably go through Fallout 1/2 first considering they’ve sat in my library for years😅
Fallout 1 is great, one of my favorite games, but you do have to be ready to accept the 1990s presentation and tech. It can also be very difficult (but never impossible) if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Vanilla playthrough character: Speech, lockpick, small guns. Minimum charisma, high intelligence and agility. Gifted trait.
If you ever meet the used car salesman, don’t leave until you find the Red Ryder BB gun. Not the normal BB gun. Red Ryder.
Can only talk about my watch list :
- Dave the Diver, on my Mac . Sadly, steam only.
- dredge, PS4
- thinking about cyberpunk but ps4 might grind
- also BF2042 maybe for a shooter
Also looking for some kind of chill farming / city building thing, for the mac, to play in bed, if anyone has anything ?
For farming, I’ll assume you’ve tried Stardew, but if not that’s the obvious answer.
There’s a new one out called Vexland which might interest you. I haven’t tried it.
Another stardew is what I’m looking for !
Project zomboid might quench that thirst with its farming foraging and fishing mechanics it’s a really good game I’ve put 860 hours into it myself since buying it in late 2018
We all are. Looks like there will be a 1.6 update with some new content. I never explored the additional 1.5 content, but it seemed like a good bit.
Trying to finish all levels with all characters on Mario 3D World.
Then, it’s always “just one more race” on F-zero 99
Been going through Gotham Knights on Gamepass, it’s solid. It doesn’t stand up to the best of the Arkham series, but it’s at least an interesting twist on the idea, and the Arkham formula still holds up.
Also been on a totally random RollerCoaster Tycoon kick. Haven’t played in years, but for some reason I felt like getting into it again. It’s incredible how well it still holds up.
I’ve been feeling the Elder Scrolls itch and with the spooky season upon us, I decided it’s a good time to finally dig into Tamriel Rebuilt (which just got a new release BTW). The quality of what I’ve seen so far is stellar, it feels like it’s an official Bethesda content (and I mean that in the best way possible).
Tamriel Rebuilt is just so so good can’t recommend it enough to anyone who wants to try
It really is! It’s honestly amazing how much love Morrowind is getting even even 21 years after it’s release! Between Tamriel Rebuilt and OpenMW, the game actually just keeps getting better and better with time!
YEP it is just great. There is still so many things to look foward to even though the game is 21 year old thanks to the wonderfull modding community and openmw. I just love it so much. Also on an unrelated note I love how tightly knit together morrowind community is, I got to interract with some amazing people and incredibly talented modders and you can tell that everything about the morrowind modding comes from a place of love and passion for the game and the community and I am just so glad to be a part of it.
trackmania, full speed maps. v addictive.
Got way too much on the go right now.
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Astroneer
- Ion Fury
- Timberborn
- Sea Of Stars
Factorio, hours upon hours of Factorio. I go to bed planning my next expansion. I wake up from dreaming about it. It’s consumed my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
yeah, that checks out
The factory must grow
Darkest Dungeon
Fascinating game that beats your ass non-stop and yet you ask for it again.
Just finished Sea of Stars. I never 180’d from a game so much.
I started it a week and a half ago, and I was in love with the game. The story was cliché, sure, but everything else was perfect, and the characters were kind of cute.
But the third act feels too rushed and the ending… Oh boy, the ending. It just doesn’t feel like an ending at all. I was extremely disappointed with it, and too many setpieces just led to nowhere.
And the true ending was even worse, in that it not only has very arbitrary requirements to unlock (including finding all 60+ collectibles scattered across the map in random locations), but ruins one of the best and arguably the most emotional moments of the game as well.

I despise time travel. Always. It just doesn’t work, unless you put a lot of thought into it, and the Sea of Stars developers clearly didn’t even try.
Just finished Breathedge. Subnautica in space? Sort of, but with a ‘ha, aren’t we game developers funny’ kind of humor. Portal is an immersive game that’s really funny. The humor in Breathedge, however, insures you can never really settle in to the game. Even so, It’s most impressive what such a small team was able to accomplish.
Just started Plague Tale: Innocence. Stealth survival with hordes of rats - a little creepy and I’m not really expecting an uplifting ending, but we’ll see how it goes.
