TerraFirmaGreg Modern got a lot better recently. New playthrough is fun.
Been playing Halo: Campaign Evolved on and off via ps5 (technically xbox too if you count cross platform progress), up to Mission 3: Truth and Reconciliation currently

Playing Deus Ex:Mankind Divided. Good shit, even if it’s finally starting to show its age (weird mocap animations)
It’s a great game. In some ways I might even prefer it to Human Revolution. Also, make sure you do the DLCs after. A Criminal Past is some of the best “new Deus Ex” they ever produced.
The only problems with MD are its length and lack of followup, and how silly and on the nose the apartheid thing seems at first, but it’s a massive upgrade from HR otherwise. In a lot of ways that are subtle, but they matter. For example how the majority of enemies are just regular people (police, security guards, people in an anti-apartheid organisation), so kills really feel like they matter and you will seriously debate yourself if you should do it or not. HR had a lot of scary masked mooks
I never played Criminal Past but I’ve heard a lot of good thjngs about it.
Stellaris.
(I started watching star trek after seeing lemmy talk about “fully automated luxury gay space communism.”)
Grim Dawn: Fangs of Askeram
The latest and last DLC for one of the top ARPGs out there, apart from a new end-campaign quest line there is also a new class and hundreds of new uniques
I am playing Jedi survivor right now. I just finished fallen order and it was amazing. Now I’m on the sequel, maybe 8 hours or so into it. It’s cool, but it feels like they went overboard adding things to the first game to try to make the sequel better.
My recommendtation is don’t play Factorio. I picked it up a couple months ago and basically haven’t stopped playing. It’s stolen all of my free time. Don’t do it.
i have to cheat on factorio with rim world and back again because both are like that for me.
I feel like the only game that could come close to the same level of digital crack is Football Manager. Since I’ve already plowed way too many hours into that one I’m steering clear of Factorio.
I’m really tempted to pick it up because of all the comments like this that I see but I also don’t have much free time as is, I don’t want to be completely enveloped by it.
I got it a few months ago. It’s great and fun, but once I launched the rocket and finished the game, I did not find it hard to put down. I will definitely do another play through soon though!
I had the same experience. I even decided to build my base up to 75 science/minute after the first rocket launch, but once I hit that and was finding myself just crafting modules to increase productivity/efficiency to do infinite research with no real end in sight, it was all grind and no fun for me.
I could have decided to make a real megabase, push for the highest spm my PC can handle, and optimize to the end of time, but at some point I’d have to return to the real world.
End game is all boring alien culling for more mining expansions just to get diminishing returns on infinite research you don’t really need anyways. I’m not really a fan of the colonial extractivist themes, and that’s pretty much all the game made me feel by the end.
There’s always the space dlc!
Yes. And I also want to try deathworld and ribbonworld
I’ve decided I’m finally finishing Elden Ring. Just started a new Bonker and I’m making my way through the early game now.
Man I really need to finish a playthrough sooner or later
Farthest I got was killing the fire giant. Then I started playing Cyberpunk 2077 and by the time I came back I got bad.
I have a character that’s about to meet Malenia, and I’m kinda scared
Despite all the crazy YouTube videos about beating her with wherever, she have weaknesses to certain items/strats, pretty much like all the other bosses in the game.
I had so much fun with that game and the first expansion, high str big bonk destroying open world guys then learning timings on boss fights or high int caster pew pew easily overrun in the open world but erasing bosses after just a few tries. I really dig both of those styles.
I finished all the achievements on Wayfinder. I really enjoyed it for what it is. It’s clear from some things that they ran out of budget/time to really smooth all the edges. What is there though is a fun action RPG with beautiful art, pretty satisfying progression and combat, and a decent roster of characters to play.
I haven’t been sure what to play next but I just started Clair Obscur Expedition 33. Not sure about the parry/dodge system, it seems pretty anti-fun but I’ll give it a couple more hours.
If that doesn’t work out, I think I’ll start on the Yakuza games. I have Yakuza 0 and Like a Dragon, not sure which I’ll go for first.
I’ve been holding off on wayfinder because people told me to play if with friends like a local WoW server. How does it hold up solo?
I played it entirely solo and had no issues with the highest difficulty dungeons or world bosses. I imagine it’d be a blast to play with other people but if you start on your own you can create another save slot to play with friends or just use a character you haven’t leveled up yet.
Wayfinder is very playable solo.
You’ll still probably only like it if you liked World of Warcarft, I imagine. It’s a clear (and very nice) tribute.
Hitman WOA: Picked up the rest of the “easy” achievements (assassination stuff). Got the three sniper mode silent assassination achievements last night. Just missing 1,000,000 points in each sniper mode level, all challenges in each sniper mode level, and level 20 mastery in each location. Easier said than done, those are all huge time sinks, but it feels good to have everything else done now. Also cool to have 5 achievements for this game under 2% completion.
Cyberpunk 2077 and Palworld. I haven’t really gotten into new games since Elden Ring, but those two seem like good candidates.
I want to get back in to Palworld, the update looks so good. But, they will probably be on update 2.0 before I get to the 1.0 release.
Good time for Palworld with the 1.0 update. I still need to get the Dogtown DLC for Cyberpunk.
Scrap Mechanic also just had its 1.0 release. I’ve been trying to get into that as well, but I also keep installing demos and signing up for playtests on steam.
Going through the ACE team catalog, this time I’m playing Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. It’s a spinoff of Zeno Clash series, but in third person. As always with the ACE team the world is beautiful and weird. Plays nice enough too, liking it so far
Man, I wish this was a proper action game with combos, juggling and stuff and it didn’t play more or less like a martial arts soulslike.
I actually like that I have to be a bit careful, as you can’t just tank a bunch of hits and you’re a bit slow. Soulslike is a close comparison, I guess. My main annoyance is that I can’t seem to get the parry timing, even though the devs said they are pretty generous - it just feels wrong no matter when I try to parry, and when it does work there’s almost no visual/audial feedback, I notice that I managed to parry only because my stamina bar is refilled.
Just got Xemu up and running so I could replay Blinx 2 (after seeing the news and playing a bit of the first one) and decided to throw in JSRF because fucking duh.
Man, while you’re running Xemu you gotta throw in Ninja Gaiden Black!
