    It’s not super old but I patiently waited for a sale on the Repentence DLC for The Binding of Isaac. Besides the new content it’s also a sort of v2.5 of the game (if Rebirth/Afterbirth was v2.0) with many quality of life changes. Admittedly some of the changes were a bit startling at first but I quickly got used to them and after a few hours it felt like home again.

    I have about 500 hours in Isaac and this refresher has breathed new life into it so perhaps I am good for another 500.

      Ohh boy, I don’t know how much you read beforhand, but the new characters are the best content of the game. They range from infuriatingly hard to trivial, but all of them have a fresh spin in the gameplay and existing mechanics. You are in for a treat my friend.

    I started playing baldur’s gate 1 for the first time. I got it on sale years ago and never played more than an hour. It’s been fun!

    There’s also 2 VR games i was highly anticipating that came out. Behemoth wich is like a shadow of the collossus kind of game and trombone champ unflattened wich is just trombone champ but in VR and they are both very good!

    Colin McRae: Dirt 2

    I really wanted to play something arcade (and without all the bullshit of cosmetics and jackpot spins etc that modern games have) etc so I downloaded a copy of Dirt 2 and it’s been great fun. It handles really well and actually looks good when upscaled.

    I did have to install Games for Windows Live though 😔

    The Spell Brigade. It’s unfortunately early access, but it’s an up-to-4 player co-op Survivors-type game. I love Vampire Survivors so of course I wanna play co-op. I’ve been having a bunch of fun with it, both with friends and without.

      In the same boat. Really enjoying it online too. Usually can find a coop match quick

    I’ve been playing Pillars of Eternity after giving up on Pathfinder King Maker in frustration. It’s been very cool! A lot of lore to learn though and I feel like it really needs my full attention to get the most out of it.

    I picked up Balders Gate 3 on a recent sale to see what all the hubbub was about. I nearly gave up on it after about the first 10 hours but soon after that it finally clicked for me and I’ve been having a blast. I think I’m only about 30 hours in right now and I hear it’s easily 100+ hours so hopefully the ride remains this fun for the duration.

    Playing the main character as a high elf bard. Definitely the weakest in the group at combat but it’s nice passing every persuasion check.
