    I’ve been playing Metroid Prime: Remastered. It’s amazing to see the beauty of the world in this game, but kid me must of had way more patience for the backtracking

    Battlebit, it’s everything I wanted in the latest Battlefield titles and more, but made by 3 indie devs. Map votes, weapon attachments, classes, local voice chat, destruction, scoreboard, night mode on all maps… It’s great.

      The top rated comment on here when it first came out was “Everyone talking positively about it must be a shill, there’s no way a game can be that good”

      It really just is that good!

    I don’t spend too much on games and only buy if they’re on sale.

    Recently bought sleeping dogs for $2 and finished it 2 days ago. It was a 10/10 experience. Definitely suggest everyone to try it.

    Other than that I’ve been playing Deep Rock Galactic.

    I’ve finally gave in and tried Vampire Survivors… what have I done. I didn’t realize it was 3AM by the time I put my handheld down and suffering at work today.

    Outside of that been casually replaying Halo CE and **Midnight Club 2 **

      Using a few QOL mods, I’ve given Subnautica 500+ hours of my life. It’s an excellent indie title that more game developers need to look at as an example of what they should be chasing.

    Got into Rimworld for the first time and I’ve gone down such a rabbit hole that I don’t know if I can ever stop. I’ve never played such a completely engrossing game before.

    I’m waiting for Baldur’s Gate 3, I’ve been saving myself from spoilers ever since early access started. I got some time off work for the launch of the full version that’s a couple of weeks from now, and plan to sink some good hours into that. Until then I’m wasting time with random games like Brotato, hades, hearthstone battlegrounds, diablo 4, civ 6 and a whole bunch of others.

      I’ve played almost every RPG I own in the past year trying to hold off on one last EA playthrough of BG3. Haven’t touched it since the infamous CONTENT PENDING era and I really want to go from that jank-ass period of EA straight into the full version.

      It’s been really hard.

      I’ve been playing it, sadly I put it down tofay and won’t be picking it back up. This is the second time I’ve tried it.

      Im several hours in and I just don’t understand the appeal. At all. Im at a point where it’s like all the frustration of dark souls but none of the rewards. Everyone says this game is a master piece but I don’t see it

    Finally got into X4: Foundations after remapping all the controls and I’m about 300 hours down the rabbit hole total and 90 on my current save.

    An Advanced Electronics and Turret Component bottleneck is crippling almost every faction preventing ship and station building.

    I’m desperately trying to get my own stations producing while fighting off a Xenon invasion of the Free Families which has so far claimed 3 systems.

    I have been replaying Divinity 2. I had forgotten how good this game plays and looks. AND I was watching a “Let’s Play” of DOS2 and noticed I missed some areas and stuff I didn’t know I could do. So much dept and different ways to do things.

    I was replaying DOS2 on my Linux gaming PC with an XBox controller because I think the controller will play similar on Baldur’s Gate 3.

    Fun days ahead soon exploring the world of Faerun and Baldur’s Gate.

      I’ve been replaying as Fane and it’s still so much fun. I’m almost 500 hours in and still can play a new story line.

      I’m close to hitting maximum hype for BG3.

      Ayy, I’m also currently playing DOS2. Recently remembered that I never finished it; started a co-op campaign of it with my ex on PS4 years ago, then had a house fire and never bought another console. In early Act IV now, so I should have time to finish it up before BG3 releases.

      DOS2 is a great game, and I’m enjoying my playthrough (running ranger Ifan, rogue Sebille, geo/pyro Fane, aero/hydro Lohse)but it doesn’t hit quite the same as the early access parts of BG3. Hard to put my finger on why, exactly. Maybe the more cinematic dialogue camera makes the characters in BG3 feel weightier. Anyhow, pretty hyped for the 3rd.

        Yea the cinematics was the only thing missing in Divinity 2. The voice acting is great. I think Larian knew this when they started Baldur’s Gate 3 and made the big commitment to correct this.
