Spellcaster University.

It's not the most complex game, but you're given control to build your own set of universities, trying to accomplish the goals given to you. You have a limited amount of time before the Great Evil comes and you have to start over.

Each location has its pros and cons, different graduation classes can give benefits that persist through the run, and all the building is done through picking one of 3 cards themed around what they focus on(Gold for general improvement and random magic things, Mana of particular types for rooms/items focused on that school of magic).

Few games have captured my attention like XCom2, and it's last expansion.

I often find myself playing something new while also wishing it was XCOM 2...

To the moon. Played it a few years ago. Cried.

Currently obsessed with BG3 and getting back into Hyper Light Drifter. It just feels too satisfying to go sicko mode on a room full of assholes and then grumpily stick my sword in the ground.

Palworld! Couldn't stop playing it with my friends, it was such a blast! I say "was", because we quickly all got to level 50 and now we're waiting for a big update that'll make the game fresh again!

Cross Code for me. Ended up putting like 60 hours into it in about 3 weeks while in university and working part time. I could not put it down.

Modded Factorio and elden ring.

If by "were" you mean "are", then Balatro.

Kenshi. Just the sheer dynamic ant-farm nature of it made the grind somehow all the more the worth. Even if you cheat and max out all your stats, you can still invent your own narrative in your head for what you think is happening.

Horizon Forbidden West just released on PC, been hooked on it since then.

A link to the past, I couldn’t put that down once I started it

The Binding of Isaac

Rain World.

I have some spoilers (including the gist of the ending) but am playing as blind as I can manage. It’s nice to just play and discover without having a guide by my side.

You spelled current wrong.

Right now it’s brawlhalla, free smash clone on steam.

“Just one more game”

I know I was super late to the party, but I'm genuinely surprised that nobody has said Skyrim, yet.

Before that, Subnautica (both of them).

But I've probably spent as much time in Skyrim as both Subnautica games combined.

Yesterday i started playing custom doom wads at night because i wanted to see what new mods where available and lo and behold; i saw the sun rise.

RDR2

Dirt Rally 2.0 with Force feedback wheel and pedals.

Ugh, I just can't get enough of it. Who needs crack when you have sim racing?

Inscryption

Baldur's Gate 3. Before that, I dunno. Outer Worlds, I guess.

Completely hooked on: Baldur's Gate 3.

Completely hooked on in the past tense and stopped playing: Overwatch.

majormud

spent forever writing scripts to do all the farming. i kinda miss it, but its no fun without other users and no one else would ever want to play it again

I guess Dark Cloud 2 (aka Dark Chronicles) again, because I'm playing it again and I'm hooked.

Commandos 3: Destination Berlin The gameplay was so good and I kept imagining about the missions all the time.

Monster hunter world. I bought it to have a replacement for genshin and it worked a little too well. It just feels different from any other game for how many things it does so well: from enemies to armor design to music to mechanics to weapon variety, everything is amazing.

Team Fortress 2, for more than 8 years
