Tears of the Kingdom every evening since it arrived. It's so good.
My steam deck is gathering dust somewhere, barely used since I got it!
Lol I played totk on my deck before switching to my PC because I don't have a steam dock.
Just started on the Mass Effect LE for the very first time - after spending waaaaay too long trying to make Shepherd look deccent, I'm finally underway and enjoying so far!

I'm still playing Deep Rock Galactic. It's on sale right now. Fantastic value for about £8 in my view.
Finally started Mario Odyssey after getting a Switch last xmas from my ex, and I've got to say I'm loving it. Otherwise on PC I'm rotating between Battlefield 4, Rust and Mudrunner at the moment
Mario Odyssey is genuinely amazing. It's like they just got everyone together and said "ok let's take everything we've learned over decades, pick just the most absolute pure FUN mechanics and systems, and shove them all together to make the funnest game ever".
Just bought the War of the Ring board game - my partner and I are in for a loooong Saturday.

My bass.
I played Thrive, a sort of open source, more realistic version of Spore. It's really impressive how far they've come from an 'impossible dream' to an actual functional game, albeit one with only one stage. However, as I mostly played Microbe and Creature stage in the original Spore anyway, that's like half the game to me.
I’ve been getting back into No Man’s Sky, I hadn’t played in a while so I’m trying to catch up with the recent updates. It’s always been a great chillout game for me, just exploring systems and finding odd new life forms.
Tears of the Kingdom, still. But also I played my first game of Starfinder and it was really fun! I've mostly played D&D 5e so it was a big step up in complexity, but everything just sort of...makes sense, so it wasn't too much of a shock to the system. Scraped through session one by the skin of our teeth after a brawl in a cyberpunk nightclub, excited to see where the rest of the game goes!
Fallout 4 on steam deck. Level 66 just mopping up side quests before the point of no return.
I got myself one of these little RG35XX handheld emulation devices for £60 and stuck on some custom firmware. I've been having blast. About halfway through a bug fixed Final Fantasy VI ROM hack, also playing some Zelda Oracle of Seasons and Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga.
That RG35XX looks neat. I'll pick one up. Thanks.
Yeah, I got it on a bit of a whim and wasn't expecting much. The stock firmware is poor, but GarlicOS is great. A wee bit of mucking about to get things nicely scaled, but I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Currently playing The Last of us on PC. I wanted to play it on day 1, but it was a mess at the time of release. So waited till the updates had put it in a decent enough shape.
I haven't encountered any major bugs, just 2-3 minor ones. I'm thoroughly enjoying the game. It's an emotional experience, like a movie which really pulls you in. Gameplay is also nice with subtle variations as I progress to keep things interesting.
And it's just beautiful. Definitely recommend
Have you played it before/watched the show or are you going in blind?

Almost finished High on Life (I'm determined to clear some Xbox drive space...) and I tried some Glass Road solo challenges, trying to not get my arse kicked the next time I play a human.
A box has just turned up with My City: Roll & Write and Lost Cities (unintended city theme in this order), so I'll be playing those!

I've been playing disco Elysium, after the latest video from upisnotjump really enjoying it
@snake_case this is one of those games I bought on steam after everyone raved about it but I keep putting of starting it
Been 100%ing teardown, also trepang2. and some other games like the escapists, been trying to finish Subnautica, cyberpunk 2077 (my computer cries when I play it)
Edit: just remembered new payday 2 dlc came out, gonna go play that, ive heard its amazing
Trepang2 is insane, just playing the demo has been the best FPS experience I've had since half life alyx. And if I'm honest, even more intense than hl:a too.
I'm having to counter the intensity by also playing firewatch, lol.
I downloaded Hitman from game pass last night and managed to get an hour or so in. Haven't played a Hitman game in a long time so quite enjoyed it.
Otherwise it's been the usual rotation of Rimworld and Forza, but also very much looking forward to Cities Skylines 2. Not sure I've ever been this excited about roundabouts.
Battlebit remastered, it’s crazy fun
I've finally got round to playing Blasphemous on my Steam Deck. So much better than I thought it was so far.
Pikmin was released on Switch last week so I've been playing through that. Almost finished 1 and looking forward to starting 2 soon.
Dead Cells, with the Castlevania DLC, on my Steam Deck. Good times
Final Fantasy XVI has been firmly in my PS5 since last week. Thoroughly enjoying it.
Love the game. As a long time XIV player the references that im picking up on bring a smile to my face. Soken is also an absolute mad genius with the soundtrack.
Also a long time XIV player myself, though not logged in to the game in a while because of life and time of other games. But absolutely agree, I don’t think the faith people put in Yoshi-P and team was misplaced. They’ve done an incredible job.
Bloodborne on the PS5. Never played it before but after falling down the Elden Ring hole last year I'm slowly working my way through the From series. I beat Sekiro over Christmas, now I've got this in my sights.
Also thinking of starting up a smaller, less.... mentally draining game to play on nights where I just want to kick back and relax after the kids have gone to bed. Any suggestions?
Sorry but 'Elden Ringhole' lol.
As for relaxing games - Stardew Valley springs to mind. I really enjoyed Slime Rancher too, and there's now a sequel. If you want a game to just shut your mind off to, Diablo is good for that.
Played some Starview before the kids came along and kind of bounced off it.
Maybe the time is right though. Animal Crossing absolutely owned me for a year, maybe it's Stardew's turn.

I've been putting a few hours (10h in the last week) into Factorio, with an overall mod that add ages to the game (exotic industries). as always the factory must grow!
D&D Monday to Wednesday and then no plans for the rest of the week. I'll work something out.
Just now it's a replay of A Plague Tale: Innocence on Steam Deck; Aliens: Fireteam Elite; and mopping up achievements in Tomb Raider: DE.
Me and a mate also thought it would be a good idea to start Payday 2 seeing as though 3 is coming out soon... plot twist, it was not a good idea!
Nothing at the mo. I've not been playing any games for a while.
Having seen this though I'm now torn between: Northgard, Cities Skylines and HOI4.
Decisions, decisions.
Horizon: Zero Dawn on the Steam Deck and bits and pieces on Gamepass. And an embarrassing amount of Fortnite.
Playing wow only this time I'm making an army lol. Got dragonflight but seem to get to lol 60 and then think ill try a different class and delete my character. The gf plays he'll at me for doing this been doing it for the past year or 2 .
So decided make one of every class and level them all up
Crisis Core Reunion on Steam Deck, going through it a second time to see if I can manage to 100% the achivements. Initially I though the missions were tedious, but checking them off grew on me.
Mass Effect LE on the Steam Deck. I love those games and it's just a warm feeling to go through them again.
playing csgo with my girlfriend, we aren't very good but we have fun :)
Love TTRPGs (table top role playing games) - for the last few years, mainly playing Wanderhome! No dice, everyone has equal control over what happens. It's awesome!
