I'm still addicted to the new factorio expansion. 125 hrs on my current save and counting. The factory must grow!

I’m only 17 hours in and my base is continually getting beat up by medium and big biters

That'll happen when your pollution gets slurped up by the biteys. If you can manage it, a wall with with turrets and an ammo supply belt to feed them is good early solution.

The wife and I are on the penultimate chapter of Rise of the Golden Idol, which has been an excellent sequel to the first.

On my own, I finished up Plague Tale: Innocence, which was... okay. The stealth elements were alright and the puzzles were somewhat enjoyable, but it dragged a little bit and I was a little annoyed with the combat (the final boss was pretty good). I also 100%'d World of Horror, which took me absolutely forever.

My wife and I are playing Golden Idol together as well. Are you playing with controller? If so, how are you finding it? Sometimes I scroll too far to one side of a window, and it just starts cycling them for reasons I can't explain.

We're playing with a wireless keyboard, we had a bad time playing the first game with controller. I really wish they had a "sticky drag", where you could click on a box to pick it up and then click again to drop it into a slot.

Factorio. I think I’m 300 or so hours into the new expansion save, and 4000h total playtime.

I'm at the final boss fight of Divinity: Original Sin II, I'm pretty sure. At this point, I'm quite ready for the game to be over. It's largely very good, but Baldur's Gate 3 this game is not. I used a lot of my best moves up front in the fight, only for the boss to transition to a phase 2 and regen all of its health while those good moves were on cooldown. Then the game pulls out one of its favorite tricks, which is that the map transition automatically clumps up my entire party in one spot, and the boss' initiative is always higher than mine, so I just get hit with AoE attacks until my whole party is dead or nearly dead. Larian got much better at encounter design in BG3.

I'm also a stone's throw away from finishing The Rise of the Golden Idol, which is probably my favorite game released this year, and there were a lot of very good games this year. I think controller support might be worse in this game than in its predecessor, The Case of the Golden Idol, but I really like the way they integrate the story throughout this one rather than sort of surprising you with a pop quiz at the very end like the last one did.

Puyo Puyo Champions - help me I'm relapsing

Riichi Mahjong - mahjong causes great damage to the human spirit without a single benefit

Blue Revolver: Double Action - This has been sitting in my Steam library and I saw it got a big update. Learning how to play a shmup is on my bucket list, but so far I cannot get any further than stage 4 on the lowest difficulty. Very fun though, and banger OST.

Also went down to Round 1 earlier this week, haven't been in years. Played a few rounds of Wacca, Chunithm, Arcana Heart, and Chaos Code.
