Minecraft. I’ve gotten sucked in all over again, lol. Happens every other year at this point
Last of Us part 1. Never played a Last of Us, but streaming to the steam deck has got me playing more single player games.

Jet Set Radio Future!
Stellar game. Looking forward to Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is the reason I’m replaying JSRF all these years later! I’m (im)patiently waiting for its release
Man, I loved that game and played the hell out of it when I first got it. The music is just so damn good that I still listen to it despite not playing for so many years.
The music is so fucking good in JSRF and JSR. I’ve had the tracks in playlists for years despite not touching JSRF since I was a kid with access to the OG Xbox. It’s a shame it was never brought up to any other platform so I’m forced to emulate
So much Street Fighter 6. I’ve played fighting games my whole life, but I’m enjoying taking this one a little more seriously. I still suck in online but am slowly improving! Also playing Back 4 Blood with some friends, which is always fun!
Returnal
God this game is difficult
That game looks super cool. Will prob buy it when it’s on a deeper steam sale.
V rising. I’m playing on my own server with just my husband on occasion. At this point it’s mostly barbie dream house. I send the servants off to farm and keep redecorating.
I’m a little conflicted about having a prison in my house though. My husband tells me I’m a vampire so that makes it ok.
Friend and I played quite a bit when V Rising first came out. Had fun with it, but I personally got sick of having to constantly pivot the camera because the scenery was always blocking my view. I know they just released a big update recently, I may have to check it out again.
For me:
-
Wo Long, again, on the PS5 this time and with the Season Pass. I’m a freak so I’ll get it done before the first DLC drops this week
-
FFXVI. I have many, many thoughts about this game right now but I’ll hold my tongue until I finish it. i probably will.
-
PSO2:NG. I’m done with grad school so I’m delving into those big, forever games again. FFXIV is boring to me now so I thought I’d give NG a try. I played PSO2 a lil bit now and again. if you play this lemme know! I’m on Ship 3, but I literally just started, so
-
Battle Bit Remastered. The only FPS I’ve ever been good at is Apex. This is not that, but it’s fun and low stakes so I’ll take it.
-
Ender Lilies and Afterimage. I’ve been on a Metroidvania kick lately
-
Street Fighter 6. still searching for my main (and my skill in this game)
I’ve been playing “Haiku the Robot” that was recently featured in Humble’s Metroidvania bundle. It’s a really nice, small Hollow Knight clone.
-
Finished the campaign for D4 over the weekend, still lightly dipping into TOTK, trying not to rush through it.
Waiting for the first season to not burnout on D4, probably in need of picking up another game here soon. Really could go from something like Stardew….
Stellaris, all day every day. I’m not exaggerating either. Last weekend you could play it for free, so I thought why not give it a shot, you know? I like sci-fi themed games and I haven’t played a 4X game in a while. So I give it a shot and… it’s suddenly 1AM. So I buy the game. And most of the earlier expansions.
And now I play it every day. And when I’m not playing the game, I think about it. What will I research? How can I improve my economy? Will I attack my dickhead neighbours for laying claim to MY systems? Nah, just kidding. I’m actually thinking on HOW I’m going to attack them. A game hasn’t hooked me this bad in a long while.
You know what’s the worst part of Stellaris? Every time you think that you know all the content and that it’s getting boring, the devs just crank out a new DLC that significantly alters how the game plays.
So, it gets another couple of play-throughs.

I played the heck out of it too! The base building mechanics are pretty satisfying. I do like how they’ve set up exploration, and I can’t wait to see some of the location designs, plus once they build up combat, it may create a pretty fun loop. The underdust is a pretty cool location too, hopefully it gets more than the one variant soon. That being said, I do think the roadmap is a pretty achievable one, and it’ll keep people coming back when there are major updates.

Deep Rock Galactic on my own (rock and stone!), Stardew Valley with my wife, and Boomerang Fu with my kids. I’m visiting family next week, so I’ll need to decide on something to play on my Deck.
I finished Overload this weekend, so I’m wandering through my backlog looking for a next thing that sticks with me for more than five minutes. Oxygen Not Included doesn’t seem to be cutting it, so… we’ll see. I’ve got Cataclysm: DDA around as a light diversion until I get pulled into something, and there’s always Guild Wars 2 and Deep Rock Galactic.
Zelda Minish cap, super mario bros, and some pokemon Gold. just been feeling the childhood games lately
Oh damn good idea. I will get out the emulator and play some good old Nintendo games as well. thanks for the pointer.
A lot of timberborn.
I can’t allow myself to use the speedup controls in games, and I’m playing iron teeth (newly revamped) but for some insane reason I’m not letting myself build engines, and i made droughts longer, so basically 50% of the time i have no power and all my bots don’t work.
Lol
I started playing Battletech… (thank you Gog summer sale)
I’ve been into the BattleTech universe since I was a kid (when I first got MechWarrior 2 on Win95), and nothing has frustrated me quite as hard as some BattleTech missions.
There are some mega mod packs for that game too that drastically change the ruleset (hit mechanics, how cover and evasion works, etc) as well as add in hundreds of new units ('Mechs, armor, VTOLs, even Clan Elemental infantry if you’re playing one of the post-3050 mods). RogueTech is absolutely fucking infuriating, but so far it’s the closest you can get to tabletop rules.Thank you! Are these the expansion packs? Or are these user mods?
Community-made mods that you can find over at Nexus, but they usually require ownership of the expansions, if I remember correctly. You definitely want to play through the standard vanilla game for a while before you go messing with any mod packs though, because they are substantially harder.
awesome, good to know! Thank you, this is good advice. I hadn’t realized there were user made mods to start with, haha
