Nier Automata. It’s okay…pretty decent. But it’s a JRPG… ugh, been a while since I played one. It’s very, very JRPG.
I gave Nioh, Onimusha, and Street Fighter 6 another shot: not for me, so I went back to practicing combos in Bayonetta.
I’m almost about done exploring new games and ready to submit to the fact that I only thoroughly enjoy about 15 games ever.
I’m not ruling out the possibility of liking new games, but developers barely make games like my favorites any longer, so chances of my liking anything new are very slim.
I gotta focus on other hobbies when I’m not gaming.
Civilization three, GTA fourand ESO
Escape from Tarkov PvE.
It’s so much fun to not be head/eyes’d from fucking nowhere by a random PMC. The bots are a little dumb, but the risk/reward for bot PMCs and Bosses is still there, for sure.
I bounced off of PvP Tarkov for years just trying to play with my friends, and now I’m finally having fun with it!
I’ve been playing a little bit of final fantasy tactics on the PS1 on my little RG34XX (The GBA looking one)
The Great Ace Attorney! Just finished the third adventure. I’m a huge fan of the original trilogy and was skeptical this would measure up, but it’s been a brilliant evolution of the series so far.
I’ve been playing through Drayano’s Storm Silver, a rom hack of Soul Silver. It adds a bunch of pokemon and fixes the levelling curve while making it a little more difficult.
Best way to play IMO
i’ve been playing Fuser. i’m only a little late; the servers only shut down three years ago. not that it matters to me, i’m using it as a mashup toy. you can get it on archive.org and there is a vibrant modding community now.
Baldur’s Gate 3 for me. Played for around 70 hours after the launch, recently started fresh after the final updates. What a game!
Going with entirely new team, first time I’ve played as custom Druid with Shadowheart, Karlach and Gale as the good guy, this time I’m going more chaotic with my Gnome Bard featuring Lae’zel, Astarion and Wyll.
Hades. I am trying to get all the achievements. Probably going to take me a while.
Cook, Serve, Delicious 3 with my gf. We‘re literally 1 gold medal away from all-gold and I have no idea how you do this with just two hands considering four hands are already rough lol
I took concepts from Factorio and Oxygen not Included and applying them IRL. I bought some pipe and some heat exchanger, I made an ice melting cooler to improve habitability. Very much like ONI.
Next step: fusion power
Cities Skylines. It’s pretty dang fun building from just a small suburb into a small town and then into a city, and then start another small town further out then connect both with train. It’s too bad i playing Epic Store version, no mod support, so base game only. Got it for free though so can’t complain much, just have to patiently waiting for steam sales and buy some of the dlc as well.
Before that its Dishonored franchise, up till the last game with a dang great finale to close the story. It’s too bad we don’t get to have this phenomenal game from Arkane anymore, as the original dev have long left the studio.
I’ve finished Subnautica: Below Zero, and while I do appreciate the few QoL it introduces, overall I’d just stick with the original games. Too many surface sections, too much NPCs voice logs, plot isn’t that engaging, the research and building is generally more of the same
Began Saga Scarlet Grace: Ambitions, one of the first remakes/remasters of the SaGa jRPG series made exclusively for perverts who want to be punished. Getting the hang of the game and its battles, its a fascinating system were you don’t have levels, but rather your stats go up as you use them, and your techs also get less costly the more you attack; There’s a huge focus on delaying or cancelling enemy actions, as well as speeding up or slowing your own, so you can land United Attacks where several members of your party wham on a single for, and can use more actions on the following turn. Also, a huge plus for any jRPG: You can apply negative statuses on bosses.
Operation Harsh Doorstop - I have been missing a moddable big map team based vehicle shooter for… a decade? EA really screwed this space over and for years and years mods like Forgotten Hope 2 and Project Reality stayed on the Battlefield 2 engine because no new alternative came. OHD is that game, and it is free! Flying helicopters in multiplayer is a mental challenge and rush like no other. Still early access and a lot of rough edges, but the core is so good that I have been totally addicted and spent a lot of time helping noobs figure out the game because I like it so much.

Motor Town: Behind The Wheel - Recently there has been a big increase in multiplayer servers with 20+ people on them, which this game ABSOLUTELY deserves and even more excitingly I have started to see custom race events organically pop up in populated servers which I think will become really popular since Motor Town is a fantastic racing game that just happens to also be a fantastic driving job simulator. It is a blast to organically meet up with some other drivers on a server and do a couple of races together and then go off and do other driving jobs.

Out Of Ore - Really I don’t know I hadn’t gotten this game before, I am a geologist and I like big machines, in this game it is like one of those satisfactory/factorio games… except you ACTUALLY mine instead of all the fun bits being abstracted away leaving only the fiddly automation parts. There are a plethora of loaders, excavators and trucks and digging and terraforming land with them is a blast in this game. I haven’t played for super long but it is already a huge recommend for me!
