Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
I've done the 4 regional phenomena and all the geoglyphs, I'm clearing off some side quests before continuing (finishing?)

Not sure why but I bounced off of Tears hard. I played and finished Breath, but within 5 hours I'd had my fill with TotK.
Suspect it's a me thing more than the game.
I think it is a great game - I'm loving the sandbox feel and the "anything goes" way of traversing the map, solving problems etc - but I admit it doesn't have the same sense of wonder and immersion (I think?) as BOTW somehow.
It's also the first time I've made use of any item duplication glitches (it seems like the only "fun" / non-grindy way of making use of the new building mechanic) so maybe that, plus being able to just fly around everywhere on DIY contraptions, has taken some of the fun / point out of wandering around the map 🤷♂️
Tears of the Kingdom every evening since it arrived. It's so good.
My steam deck is gathering dust somewhere, barely used since I got it!
Battlebit remastered, it’s crazy fun
Bloodborne on the PS5. Never played it before but after falling down the Elden Ring hole last year I'm slowly working my way through the From series. I beat Sekiro over Christmas, now I've got this in my sights.
Also thinking of starting up a smaller, less.... mentally draining game to play on nights where I just want to kick back and relax after the kids have gone to bed. Any suggestions?
Sorry but 'Elden Ringhole' lol.
As for relaxing games - Stardew Valley springs to mind. I really enjoyed Slime Rancher too, and there's now a sequel. If you want a game to just shut your mind off to, Diablo is good for that.
Played some Starview before the kids came along and kind of bounced off it.
Maybe the time is right though. Animal Crossing absolutely owned me for a year, maybe it's Stardew's turn.
Prepare to not get any sleep!
A box has just turned up with My City: Roll & Write and Lost Cities (unintended city theme in this order), so I'll be playing those!
I've finally got round to playing Blasphemous on my Steam Deck. So much better than I thought it was so far.
I’ve been getting back into No Man’s Sky, I hadn’t played in a while so I’m trying to catch up with the recent updates. It’s always been a great chillout game for me, just exploring systems and finding odd new life forms.
Trying to play though ff16 but it's so difficult because it's so awfull.
It's not ff, it's not an RPG and the performance is terrible and the side quests are dull.
Im renting it and I may just send it back before even finishing it.
Oxygen Not Included. Now on a much more powerful PC than all previous times – maybe I won't have to abandon my duplicants when I get to the third asteroid and things get too laggy.
This game always gives me such a hard time. I watch guys like Francis John on YouTube and realize I don’t have an engineering degree to play it haha
I've started playing this on my deck, but am still at noob level.
Just now it's a replay of A Plague Tale: Innocence on Steam Deck; Aliens: Fireteam Elite; and mopping up achievements in Tomb Raider: DE.
Me and a mate also thought it would be a good idea to start Payday 2 seeing as though 3 is coming out soon... plot twist, it was not a good idea!
I'm still playing Deep Rock Galactic. It's on sale right now. Fantastic value for about £8 in my view.
I played Thrive, a sort of open source, more realistic version of Spore. It's really impressive how far they've come from an 'impossible dream' to an actual functional game, albeit one with only one stage. However, as I mostly played Microbe and Creature stage in the original Spore anyway, that's like half the game to me.
Finally started Mario Odyssey after getting a Switch last xmas from my ex, and I've got to say I'm loving it. Otherwise on PC I'm rotating between Battlefield 4, Rust and Mudrunner at the moment
Mario Odyssey is genuinely amazing. It's like they just got everyone together and said "ok let's take everything we've learned over decades, pick just the most absolute pure FUN mechanics and systems, and shove them all together to make the funnest game ever".
Dead Cells, with the Castlevania DLC, on my Steam Deck. Good times
I've been playing disco Elysium, after the latest video from upisnotjump really enjoying it
@snake_case this is one of those games I bought on steam after everyone raved about it but I keep putting of starting it
Currently playing The Last of us on PC. I wanted to play it on day 1, but it was a mess at the time of release. So waited till the updates had put it in a decent enough shape.
I haven't encountered any major bugs, just 2-3 minor ones. I'm thoroughly enjoying the game. It's an emotional experience, like a movie which really pulls you in. Gameplay is also nice with subtle variations as I progress to keep things interesting.
And it's just beautiful. Definitely recommend

My 4 year old learned about Pokémon Go recently I started playing it again after about 4 year hiatus, haha I stopped playing about the time she was born 🤣
Spelunky2 needs completing but it's so bloody hard. Soulstone survivor is less frustrating so getting more play time
My bass.
Playing wow only this time I'm making an army lol. Got dragonflight but seem to get to lol 60 and then think ill try a different class and delete my character. The gf plays he'll at me for doing this been doing it for the past year or 2 .
So decided make one of every class and level them all up
Vampire Survivors on my phone.
Addictive as hell. Completed 100%, now going through and completing every level with every character. about 25% of the way there currently.
I bought this on Steam during the hype train for it. 100% could not get into it, just didn't find it engaging or fun.
