Games

SIngle player games / simulation games, the only FPS I've kept around is CS:GO really. Also play Warframe sometimes but the grind is painful sometimes

My favorite genre is ARPG including games like GrimDawn, Titan quest, Diablo 2, Borderlands, The elderscrolls series, fallout series etc. Another one is interactive sims like Deus ex, System shock and Bioshock but those games are awfuly relatively rare. I do also like to play some fighting games but mostly labbing and local multiplayer.

Lately I've mostly just played old games, "b-tier" games or indie titles just because a lot of the moder triple-A games just feel soulless. Games like Sacred 2, Outward, The incredible adventures of Van Helsing may have their flaws but they have some bold design choices and interesting mechanics that give these games soul of their own and make them more impactful than many games with 20-30 points higher metacritic score.

I don't really care for online multiplayer games other than ones which I can play some good old co-op with 2-4 players (e.g Monster hunter). I mostly ignore games with battle passes and loot boxes and a lot of modern games look like some sort of carnival with all the silly cosmetics breaking whatever little immersion they may have. I just recently started playing Doom eternal, the campaing is fine but seeing things like mancubus dressed as a hotdog and bunch of barbarian skins for the player I can somehow imagine what multiplayer is like.

I guess „open world“ action RPGs a la Dark Souls, extra points for anime style and if it‘s not super dark and depressing to play. Ordered Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and I’m looking forward to that.

Dave the diver totally caught me by surprise. Addicted lol

• FPS games

I like FPS games with a longer TTK (time to kill) on average. Not so big on the more realistic ones. Team Fortress 2, Deep Rock Galactic (PvE but still), Overwatch 1, and recently Battlebit has broken a bit from the trend for me, but I'm enjoying it.

• Strategy, 4X games

Love 4X (explore, expand, exploit, exterminate) games. Civilization 5/6 and Stellaris have taken up a lot of my time.

• Roguelikes/lites

Love these, of many different genres. Slay the Spire, Monster Train, Across the Obelisk for card based ones, Enter the Gungeon is one of the few games I've totally 100%ed, Hades is a masterpiece, and I'm always looking around for new ones.

Those are the big genres I'm into. I branch out into other stuff often, but I'll always come back to these.

Competitive games. Mostly this is shooters, but things like Rocket League, fighting games, racing games... Anything you play against other humans, really.

Video game AI just isn't good enough to give me that rush I crave. I need to fight shit that can out think me, not just have laser accuracy. Then I can get better and out think them, in a never ending escalation of beating each other's ass. 😁

I keep returning to MSFS 2020 on a daily basis. Trying to force myself to like KSP2, after many hours in the original. Can easily lose myself in RDR2 or GTA5. Am eagerly awaiting City Skylines 2.

Visual novels, shooters, action RPGs... It might be easier to say which genres I don't like:

Sport games, shovelware and gimmick games (yeah I'm making a genre of it lol).

I used to love MMOs (Eve Online and FFXIV) back when I had masses of free time and could get away with coming home from work and getting stuck into a game from 6pm until 12pm every night. The communities I got to join in with were great and it was really fun. Loved Dota 2 for years as well.

Now that I've got a kid though I have to play things that I can pick up and put down quickly and easily and that's kind of pushed me into mostly playing single player games now. Currently playing FFXVI.

Civ IV

Is that what we're supposed to do with 'em?

Strategy, space sim, driving, open world.

I really like to play many various genres, it depends on my mood

Most recently I played:

• tears of the kingdom. 100% the game and really looking forward to some dlc

• Grim Fandango. A fantastic point & click game that sat in my backlog for years and finally played it and finished it.

• been going hard on Diablo 4, can't wait for season 1

• some Fortnite but only if friends ask me to play with them

• command & conquer remastered

Recently got a steam deck and playing games like:

• cult of the lamb

• cuphead. Damn, this game is hard.

• pinball fx3

I mostly play JRPGs and SRPGs. Preferably more on the linear side as I can only enojoy at most 1-2 open world games a year before they get tedious.

Inbetween those, I occasionally play games from all sorts of genres. Except for FPS and multiplayer stuff.

Competitive shooters, cs and valo mostly. I'll automatically try to find the most optimal playstyle in any game i play, which ends up in me losing interest when it gets too easy. In PvP comp games the opponents are doing the same so it doesn't feel like I'm cheesing my way trough. Anything with a decent ranking system is my jam, because owning noobs is fun for a while but a win feels way more rewarding when it was a hard fought back and forth.

Strategy and empire building! Total war is by far my favorite series.

Mount and blade/Bannerlord is up there too.

games are for kids
