Friend put me onto Control. Picked it up at discount and enjoying it so far.

I've been mostly bouncing between FFXIV and Rimworld.

TFT, enjoying new set 9

currently working my way through all of kingdom hearts. as a teen i played everything up until dream drop distance and i was a massive fan but that waned over time. i got both 1.5 + 2.5 and 2.8 and i'm working through everything again as a lore refresher before i tackle 3.

I've been playing Far Cry 3 on the ps4 (my first Far Cry game, alternating between really enjoying it and tearing my hair out at the janky "platforming") and nearly finished Terra Nil on PC, been revisiting Frostpunk a little bit too. But mainly I'm wondering if the upcoming FF16 release will be the excuse I need to finally buy a PS5 (•̯͡. •̯͡ )‎​

I checked out the F123 Game Trial on EA Play, seems like they really improved the handling this time - cars are a lot less nervous than last year so when traction breaks you have much more opportunity to correct the slide and keep going rather than being spat out into a wall or something. And on the other end, a lot less unaccountable turn in understeer. I also got PS2 Emulation working on my phone so I’m playing some Gran Turismo 3 & 4. I had been playing 7, but while the driving is pretty good…The Campaign structure and the AI leave a lot to be desired. So I figured I’d replay some classics while I wait for Forza Motorsport this October.

I recently got into Warframe, and have been playing that a fair bit. Other than that, I had a blast with WH40K: Boltgun and Crab Champions as well.

Currently going through Prey which I'm really enjoying so far. Also making incremental progress on Elden Ring, currently stuck on Rykard.

I'm mostly switching between the System Shock Remake (one of my Kickstarters finally coming through...) and Aliens: Dark Descent -- which is far better than I was expecting. The only real sticking points so far is the squad acting as 'one' (it's a pro and a con), and the sheer RNG of alien movements -- hit the RNG just right and you'll go from a Hunt event, straight into a difficulty increase, straight into a Boss encounter...!

Playing some monster hunter and some fallout new Vegas

Tabletop RPGs, online sadly. Hard to find people in my town who are up for some adventures with pen and paper. And copious amounts of dice.

Call me crazy but halo infinite has made great strides to become better. Been playing that a decent amount been avoiding playing destiny 2 as I don't care for how little care Bungie puts into it. Other than that my back log of games I buy and have yet to play :)

Running through the tomb raider trilogy, it's free in ps catalogue and I'm really enjoying the story as I'm just trying to get through them rather than find every trinket I'm the game. I might try playing more games like this as a lot I burn out on 2 thirds through or get distracted by another game.

Diablo 4 and AEW Fight Forever once it comes out next week.

Cassette Beasts (really good if you love Pokemon but are bored of Pokemon and want something a bit different)
Chivalry 2 (mindless stabby fun, but I've gotten to a point where I'm good enough to know I suck but too old and busy to get better)
Runescape (never played as a kid, my friends got me into it earlier this year then they stopped playing lol)
I wish Diablo and Zelda were my answers.

Yakuza Like a Dragon.

Just finished Miles Morales and currently playing the Layers of Fear remaster. Also waiting for Final Fantasy to unlock, bought it after being blown away by the Demo. Also also playing some Ratchet & Clank on the side.

Been going back to classics (thanks virtual consoles), currently doing the lost super Mario bros 3 card levels.

Yakuza Kiwami, played 0 a few years ago and I've been wanting to play the rest of the series for a long time, decided I'd actually do that now since they're on PS+ Extra.

I WAS playing GTA IV again....until I got Tears of the Kingdom a couple weeks ago. I'll revisit my revisit of GTA IV soon, though.

As for GTA, IV is far superior to V. V just had a better map. But V does NOT have a car launching swing set.

I do mostly FFXIV and emulation, but just got into RuneScape 3 and it's super fun. I was quite surprised, as it's not a very actiony game, but the questing and style just grows on you.

Destiny 2 as a F2P user has been surprisingly fun. Yeah, there are paywalls, but there's at-least 60-80 hours that you can play for free with how well the game is designed. Great group PvP and PvE challenges, public group PvE challenges, and over-all gorgeous modeling. Plus the combat mechanics aren't insanely hard to learn, but they can still provide a great challenge. I had my doubts because I've heard it was a microtransaction nightmare, but turns out it's not a pay-to-play scheme like Genshin. I might even buy the expansions and unlock the rest of the game.

Currently about 25-30 hours into Days Gone (ps5) and thoroughly enjoying it.

The moral of that story is a) don't listen to ign b) metacritic user score is more relevant than critic score

Then need to finish Jedi survivor which I quit half way because of the bounty (and various other) bug(s)

Playing through the mass effect trilogy again because, why not?

Also bought battlebits remastered last night and gave that a go. A lot of fun for some casual shooter action!

Tears of the kingdom has finally broke my ftl: faster than light addiction

Finally getting around to Bloodborne on my partner's PS5. Had zero interest in these games before I gave Elden Ring a go last year, and I've been hooked since.

Finished Elden Ring last year, and Sekiro over the festive season.

Playing Diablo IV! Just finished the somewhat lackluster campaign which is definitely a prologue to something much more grand coming in the future expansions. But nobody really plays it for the story, right...
