You hide cards at night in the forest for fun? Seems like a solitary type of game to play.

Repostin'. Trying out Arcanum for myself for the first time.
Love seeing FNV there. I recently got around to beating it a few months ago and it was amazing
Stalker 2, RimWorld, Dwarf Fortress and Project Zomboid.
Good taste my friend
Switch:
- Witcher 3 (don't judge)
- Eiyuden Chronicles
PS4:
- Code Vein
- Disco Elysium
PC:
- Torchlight 2
- YGO Master Duel
Phone:
- Pokemon TCG Pocket
Witcher 3 can't be worse than Xcom2 on the switch. No judgement here.
Currently playing Half Life 2. Got it for free and i love it.

Elden Ring. Only the base game, and this is my first run. I have been very thorough with it, though. I'm currently trying to beat Malenia, then it's off to do the last boss
-
Victoria 2. Weekly multiplayer session with a couple of friends. It's 1915, and my people have just elected an anti-military party that is really hampering my efforts to swing a big imperialist stick around

Lorn's Lure. PS2 graphics, generous 3D platforming mechanics, and an impossibly vast and desolate megastructure to explore. Well I'm playing the demo of it, anyway. I am going to get the full version, it made a good impression.
My friend that really doesn't play many games loved Elden Ring. And ive listened to a lot of lore videos from Dark Souls to Elden Ring. But my PC probably can't handle the game. I can't wait to eventually be horrible at it though.
It's great fun! So long as you're on board with the experience it is trying to create, of course. FromSoft are good at what they do and don't much care for whether or not what they do is everyone's cup of tea
I'd love to try Bloodborne, because that gameplay combined with a bit of cosmic horror sounds amazing to me. I'll have to either wait for a PC port or learn about emulation, though
The thing that stuck out to me more than I expected about it is how painterly it often feels. It's exceptionally good at framing its environments in a spectacular or pleasing way even while the player has full control of the camera. I'm not usually one to worry about visuals too much, but this game's environments really stuck out to me. And while it is very high-fidelity and nicely rendered, it's less about the actual graphical performance than it is about the design of the environments
I don't like souls like games. I LOVED Elden Ring. It was the exact balance of controller destroying and fun.
I play games too much, so I'll categorise them:
New ones I've finished and absolutely loved: Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Star Wars: Outlaws
Not new ones that I'm currently playing and really like so far: Days Gone and Mad Max
Not new ones that I'm currently playing that I'm unsure if I like, be it because of the game itself or technical issues: Enshrouded, Horizon Forbidden West, and Satisfactory
Ones I've played for some time and won't stop playing anytime soon (and obviously love): Warframe and Minecraft
Mad Max is fun. But it never holds my interest for long.
What'd you like about veilguard? Were you a big fan of the series before? I want to buy it but the changes from the first one put a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

I’m old and just started playing Far Cry 5 (haven’t played any of the others before). Very fun.
Im old too. I played the first FarCry. It was amazing. That was a time that driving a vehicle in first person view, having moving shadows based off of light sources, being able to see far away, and being able to shoot out lights was ground breaking. (To be fair 007 GoldenEye had lights you could shoot too)
Now there aren't any games that let you shoot or destroy light sources.
I highly recommend the first one, Far Cry 3 and its stand-alone expansion Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Also, the first Crysis game which is very similar to Far Cry.
I have played every Far Cry since the first. In my opinion FC5 is the worst. Boring setting. Far more mundane and repetitive than the others. The forced kidnappings were annoying. The ending was meh. I think FC6 was a refreshing change.
Personally Far Cry Blood Dragon is the best overall. The Vietnam DLC for FC5 is also excellent, even though short. FC4 is also great, and has a truly unique setting and was a lotnof fun with the gyro copter and Yeti. FC3 is good and fun, but it's overrated.
FC2 I think is the best FC in a spiritual sense. For all its flaws, it truly set out to implement a unique concept the other FC's have forgotten.... that is you set out to accomplish something and everything will go wrong. You were supposed to be frustrated and overthink things. The setting was cool, the story was effed up, and the buddy system was kinda neat.
All Far Cry's suffer from underdelivering on the story. So much potential with the villains, yet barely seen. People who brag about how cool Vaas is seem to forget you only see him like 3 times, he's gone by like mid-game, and he wasn't even the main villain.
Kiddos have been playing Space Engine on my account, but otherwise this is what I've been playing lately.
Half Life 2, I got a new laptop a couple of years ago and it was the first that could actually play it properly but I never got to it, then the big update came out and wow, so worth it, loving it.
TES IV Oblivion. Love it, so silly, I love thieving.
Autonauts vs Piratebots, such a fun and cute little programming game.
Been playing Animal Well, an astonishingly cute and insanely frustrating metroid vaniaesque puzzle platformer.
Mostly Spyro (the PSX one) and both versions of Cyberpunk 2077. Alternatively Muse Dash if I don't have much time (or will) to go for a longer session.

Honkai: Star Rail and Ys IX: Monstrum Nox. Took me multiple chapters to get into Ys IX (very unusual for me, I love the series) but I'm finally starting to enjoy it.
Also started a replay of The Witcher 3.

I've been getting back into boomer shooters and dungeon crawlers.
I've been playing more Selaco, and I'm excited for the next chapter to be released. Also Burger Flipper has taken my spare time in that game while I'm playing it (it's the idle clicker game-within-a-game).
I reinstalled Lunacid to jump back in and hopefully finish that at some point soon. I've been playing fun demos like Mohrta and Hark the Ghoul too.
And of course Project Zomboid.
I just finished Ace Attorney Investigations II and I am at that stage confused for where to go now after finishing a game (is not that I do not have a backlog lol).
Anyway, I continued Pokémon Omega Ruby yesterday but I have that one, TWEWY, BOTW (both for Switch) and Chrono Trigger for DS sitting in the middle of a playthrough and I don't know where to go now.
I just went to Pokémon because I never finished the GBA version and it is the easiest IMO, TWEWY I beat the DS version multiple times and I consider that one better than the Switch one (gameplay wise) maybe that is why it hasn't caught up my attention so much.
BOTW is MASSIVE! And the joycon drift demotivates me lol And Chrono Trigger... I am pretty sure I am about to finish the 1st ending... But I am kinda lost in the plot lol.
8bitdo controller. My joycons died during BotW too. I haven't had a single issue with the 8bitdo controller I got immediately after.
Also, Tears of the Kingdom is like three times larger, when you get to that one. Very fun.
Sifu
A ton of Darktide.
Stardew Valley
I just cleared $1 million on my current save. Spring of year 3.
UFO 50, Ghost of Tsushima, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and Cassette Beasts
Elite: Dangerous, Tiny Glade, BG3
The factory must grow
Grim Dawn - love it.
Talos Principle. I set it down months ago when I got stuck on a puzzle. Solved that shit in 10mn yesterday
Balatro, Octopath traveller 2, AC Valhalla, Baldur's gate 3, Crosscode, Tales of grindea, AC Odyssey.
I've only completed the last two, and I'm currently rotating through the others depending on what I feel like playing the most.
- Finished all battles in Easy Red 2 and started again.
- Just started Spell Brigade.
- Tried to get back to Astroneer, but don't seem to find myself playing it.
- Tried to get back to Elite Dangerous, but no.
- Nintendo Switch: FF8 Remastered
- Xbox: Sea of Thieves
- PlayStation: Fallout 4
- Mobile: Balatro
Playing Another Crab’s Treasure - a Soulslike with a humorous tone. I had the game on Xbox, but abandoned that and replaying on Steam. I think having a calmer, more analytical mood to the difficulty is helping me make progress faster.
There’s a region where you need to stick to the path lest you awaken a gigantic and threatening enemy bearing an instant-kill attack. I just returned to that area and killed it.
Graven on Steam.
