    Mad Max. I’ve only played for like an hour but it’s been pretty good so far. Reminds me a lot to the Arkham games. I think GOG has it on sale for another 20 minutes. (10 am pacific).

    Slay The Spire. I usually feel neutral about rogue-likes, but this has got me hooked. The combination with the deck building might be it.

    Just picked up Ghostrunner for $9 on GOG. Really fun and it’s a game you can play for like half an hour at a time, which is not very common these days.

      I love that game. I haven’t finished it yet, I should probably get back into it soon. I think the sequel is out too, I’m assuming it’s also good but I haven’t played it so I’m not sure

        Yeah, I had it in my wishlist for years but literally nobody talks about it so I never bought it. I only did it because I was about to buy BG3 and told myself “Hey, for the price of BG3, I could buy these other 5 games”. Turns out it’s very fucking good.

          Yeah, it deserves more recognition. Hopefully someone reads this thread and decides to buy it

      Good pick, its a pretty fun game if you enjoy the “repeat until perfection” gameplay! Though I might be a bit biased since my buddy made the music for it.

    I’ve been playing so much Hardspace Shipbreaker. I’ve been a lot more dedicated to salvaging old ships than I have in actual career positions. Being a vacuum welder is awesome!

    I continued Witcher 3 after a long time. Trying to stop thinking of it as a chore to complete, and instead live it like an adventure where I can go and do something funny for a while without worrying if I get any progress.

      I wanted to play Witcher 3 but I wanted to play the first two games first, and kind of felt like it was a chore. I only got about 6-8 hours into the first one before giving up. I’ll give it another try one day

    I just finished replaying Life is Strange (the original). Now I’m starting Stray for a first play-through.

      I loved Stray. Genuinely one of my favourite first time playthroughs. I played it next to my girlfriend. End of last year I bought a PS5 with my work bonus for a union contract renewal, and that was one of the first games we played. Now we’re going to be getting a pair of cats in a week or so. I hope you enjoy as much as I did

        You’re going to have so many scratched rugs and doors…and dropped cans of paint around your house soon! Well, my cats haven’t dropped any cans of paint yet, but based on my experience so far in Stray, it seem inevitable. Enjoy the new additions to your household!

          Thank you! I’m quite excited. I’ve only ever had dogs but I’ve been around cats all my life, and the in-laws have cats so my girlfriend is familiar with living with cats. I’m pretty sure every one of my friends either has or had cats, so I’ve gotten lots of advice thankfully

    Enshrouded with a friend. It’s been a lot of fun. The game mechanics are interesting and I like the variety of things to do.

    After 12 years, I finally have had a chance to play Sonic 4 Episode 2. Cleared the first world with ease last night and had a real fun time. I have episode 1 on wii but never got to play the second because it never released on wii. I could have at some point gotten it on xbox360, but I had bigger priorities of what games to get back then.

        It was okay, it looks much better than a 17 year old game from 2007. It starts out slow and the 2nd half of the campaign is more action packed. Story is pretty mediocre. Plays well on Linux with Proton on my potato machine.

          I have it in my backlog, maybe I’ll check it out then. I played through most of Crysis 3 years ago and had fun but that’s all my experience with it. I don’t remember the game anymore

            I did not know there was a Crysis 3 or even a Crysis 2. XD I probably wouldn’t be able to run them though. Crysis Warhead was so bad I’m surprised they made a sequel.

              I really enjoyed some of the environments in Crysis 3. Probably not an objectively great game but it stuck with me. I still think about it frequently

    I finished Mouthwashing in one sitting. It was very interesting horror walking sim with PS1 style graphics. Story is good and requires throught to put everything together.
