Age of Wonders: Planetfall. The sci-fi 4x with a Civilization-like overworld and x-com styled battles. I hope to only suck a little bit at it.

I loved the previous Age of Wonders, think it was AoW 2, but for some reason, couldn't get into Planetfall. It's possible it was because of my ancient laptop, and I had to set everything to lowest settings.
It's available on Extra, so maybe I should give it another try... unless they remove it by the time I get around to it.
A little bit of Demon's Souls, a little bit of Ghost of Tsushima and a little bit of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.
I have defeated Fool's Idol and moved on to next world. Plan to do 4-1, and 5-1, and then do 2-2. I started with Temple Knight, and going with a strength build, but I am still using the starting weapon (Halberd), can't find any other weapon that I like. Only other strength weapons I have found are Bastard Sword and Battle axe. Bastard Sword is too heavy. Battle axe seems nice, but it has pretty much same damage as Halberd but less range... Ah well, as long as Halberd can be upgraded and is keeping up with enemy levels, I guess it's not much of an issue...
High on Life: High in Knife
I was looking through my library for games I never played. Started kingdoms of amalur re reckoning, which I had never heard of or played. Now I'm hooked and like 30 hours into it, such a good game, essentially fable without the sucking.
I played the original game on PS3, haven't played the re reckoning. It was written by R. A. Salvatore, that was a big deal when it was released. A really fun game.
The world and creature design is by Todd McFarlane too, it's a really good game so far, not overtly complicated like so many RPGs now, and there's a lot of cool lore. I hope they make a sequel eventually.
Ah, didn't know that.
Re-recokining got a DLC or two, don't know if it sold enough for them to make the sequel or not. Specially with Embracer closing the studios these days. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Moss Book 2 and Cyberpunk dlc for me.
How are you liking Moss Book 2?
Moss looks great, it is on top my list, for whenever I get PSVR 2.
It was very good and looks fantastic. I finished it in three or four sessions over the weekend.
I’m not one for getting everything so it took about five hours in total.
Nice. Thanks for the info.
Currently playing Genshin Impact and Yakuza: Like a Dragon. I also play PvZ: Garden warfare occasionally so that I can get my bf to game with me.
I really really want to buy Elden Ring, I miss good Souls combat so much. But, I just recently bought fire emblem three kingdoms, it'll be a while before I can find time for another game. Might as well keep waiting
Too many good games to play, too little time and money
fire emblem three kingdoms
You mean Three Houses, right? Have you started it? Which house did you chose?
Too many good games to play, too little time and money
That's my trademarked statement! I have SUCH a long backlog / wishlist. I generally play from older to new, and s.till have games from 2014-15 that I need to play, though I have started to play some new games in-between, otherwise I would never catch up.
I just checked, I meant three hopes!
Haven't started yet, still got final boss of totk to do.
Ah, okay. Have fun!
And good luck with the final boss (unless you have already defeated it)
Thanks, it must have worked, because I just beat him a few hours ago!
Currently powering through a replay of Spider-Man before the sequel comes out later this week. If I have time, I'd like to repay MM as well, but since I played that not too long ago, it's less urgent.
Other than that, I've started my second BG3 run, but that's on pause at the moment.
- On PS5 (got the PS5 3 weeks ago) I'm still playing FF16.
- On PC finished Divinity 2 two weeks ago and yesterday started Hitman 3.
- On Steam Deck I started playing Chrono's Trigger for the first time.
Oh my, you're gonna love Chrono Trigger
Just got a PS5 a week ago. Played and beat Astro's Playroom first, of course, and I plan to platinum it later. The impetus of getting the PS5 is my wife wanted to play Baldur's Gate III on the TV. I already played and beat it on PC, so I looked for a cheap new game to play - Gamestop has a 75% off sale on select games, so I got Star Ocean Divine Force for $10 and Scarlet Nexus for $5. Started both and Star Ocean is the one that got my attention the most, so I'll be playing that first. There are surprisingly few PS5 exclusive games; everything is either on PS4, PC, or both. Really loving how fast it loads, though. The PS4 was the last HDD device we used in the house, and the difference between that and SSD is huge. Glad I'll never have to go back!
Super Mario Wonder comes out Friday, so I'll probably be dividing my play time between Star Ocean and that soon.
PlayStation is porting all their games to PC now, they don't do it on launch, but generally in couple of years after the release. So, if you count PC, I don't think there are going to be any PS5 exclusives left (same for Xbox).
If you toss in PS4 games there are still exclusives, but yeah, going forward it looks like it's gonna be all timed exclusives. More surprising than Sony-developed games going to PC is all the Japanese-developed games. Very different from the old days when Japanese games were rarely available on PC.
Still worth it since I can play Sony-developed games earlier than if I just used my PC - I couldn't justify getting an Xbox since every single game is always on PC day 1.
Yeah, I personally prefer consoles but if you have a gaming PC, I don't think Xbox makes much sense.
Also, if PS continues with their focus on live service games (there are 10+ live service games in development by PS right now), it's possible they will release them on PC day 1 too.
Finished Life is Strange True Colors. What a wonderful journey!
Just started The Callisto Protocol.
Act III of BG3 here I come... and maybe.. just maybe Spider-Man 2 if I can finish this act.
Just beat Children of Morta and still in the mood for more top down action. I tried Death's Door and I think it could be the one.
