Forza Horizon 5's going to have a Barbie crossover soon so that's definitely on my to-play list
Playing a bunch of battlebit at the moment. Excellent game well worth a look if you have a chance
Got 7 Days to Die currently on the mind with it's alpha 21 release. Also recently returned to swtor and am enjoying a bit more of a casual pace.
I started some TotK, but mostly just been fiddling with the PC to get it running nicely - I would play it on Switch but a smooth 60fps is what I crave these days.
Also got the kids Lego 2K Drive, my son loves Lego and especially likes making cars so this is right up his street, the building mechanics are pretty cool and I’m sure you can make some truly crazy stuff with it. It’s early days but I would give it a recommend so far.
That smooth 60 is what I want, and I think that it won't be too long until I get into Switch emulation. But totk does play pretty well on native hardware, for the most part. I don't think Zelda is one of those games that absolutely requires 60 fps. Controversial opinion, I know, but Zelda looks just fine at 30 fps. When it does achieve 60, it's a little jarring tbh. I'd rather if the system can't run it at a stable, constant 60 that it instead locks in at 30. I'd rather play at 30 all the time than 60 sometimes.

Just completed the latest No Man's Sky expedition... getting close to finishing the main story in the new Zelda. I pretty much tend to play one game at a time until I'm done with it before moving onto the next.
Very much trying to tamp down my hype & excitement for Starfield and Fable... wait, Duke Nukem? Is there a new Duke Nukem?! I used to make maps for DN3D that we'd play over modem (BEEEP BROOOOOP BRRRRRRRR), my friends quickly learned that the high-powered weapon seductively placed on a pedastal with flashing lights was always a squishing trap.

I've been getting back into World of Warcraft the past few weeks. Really enjoying playing solo and just levelling alts instead of the almost second job level of commitment that I used to have when raiding years ago.
Been eyeing that Battlebits Remastered on steam as well - might pick that up as it looks chaotic fun.

Started Tears of the Kingdom a day before release. Not played anything else since. And the size of this game, it might be a while before I play anything different.

Oceanhorn, while I'm thinking about what my next "real" game will be. Sometimes I like to chill with some low stress little games in between, y'know?

Cassette Beasts (really good if you love Pokemon but are bored of Pokemon and want something a bit different)
Chivalry 2 (mindless stabby fun, but I've gotten to a point where I'm good enough to know I suck but too old and busy to get better)
Runescape (never played as a kid, my friends got me into it earlier this year then they stopped playing lol)
I wish Diablo and Zelda were my answers.
Just started Cassette Beasts last night. It' super cute. It's a great change of pace from when I need a break from Diablo 4.
edit: I just realized this mag was UKcasual and not Casual. I'm not in the UK at all, sorry :(
Playing Diablo IV! Just finished the somewhat lackluster campaign which is definitely a prologue to something much more grand coming in the future expansions. But nobody really plays it for the story, right...
Been holding off due to the price and amount of friends who said they already beat it.
It is indeed quite expensive but considering how many hours I have played Diablo 2 and 3 as well as the extreme replayability of D4, the price per hour is actually low in my case. If you like the Diablo gameplay, it's a lot of fun!
