Monster Hunter World. Spectacular game and seems to be having a second wind right now is player base.

I started playing No Man's Sky lately, in VR. I played it closer to it release in the past and it couldn't captivate me, but now I'm kinda in a tumultuous period in my life and the simple gathering mechanics make for a calm passtime.

So I recently have been playing Cult of the Lamb, a few Doom wads, and had been trying to get some Skyrim mods wokring..

More excitiingly though I was actually approached by this company called Maple Leaf Studio to playtest this game called Realm of Ink. Haven't mentioned it much on my social medias mainly because they had me sign an NDA. The game is quite fun and very pretty, it's kind of like Hades but has this awesome art style themed off of Chinese Mythology.

Now that the demo's public though I'm allowed to talk about it, the link's here if you wanna check it out - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2597080/Realm_of_Ink/

Hitman.

Fuck the always online shit, but since last time I played they added a rogue lite mode. "Just kill randomly selected NPCs on existing maps" doesn't sound mind blowing (and occasionally a level feels kind of trivial), but the "die and they're on alert, die again and start over without your gear" format combined with limited access to gear really does give a fresh, high stakes feel.

Quake Champions, still my fav shooter

Been playing Dishonored for the first time and really enjoying it. I’m only at the bridge and trying to play a low/no kill game. I’m not succeeding just yet, but it’s been really enjoyable and they do stealth really well. I’m baffled that they mismanaged to get the team that made this and Prey to push out Redfall? Man.

Just picked up FFVII after the second or third hiatus or my third or fourth attempt to play it. FINALLY made it to the Nibelheim story and past Midgard. And that somehow still manages to work on me as a first time player.

Just beat Banner Saga 1 and have never felt so much like a failure after “beating” a game. That game is trying to unseat This War of Mine for decisions regretted/minute.

I’m wanting to start up my Nintendo series playthroughs again by either starting Mario Galaxy 2 or trying to remember what on earth was happening in Majora’s Mask (3DS) something about the water temple maybe?

Just finished Observer: System Redux. It's a cyberpunk/horror game made by a Polish studio. They did a good job using the medium to create a sense of dread and foreboding.

Also playing Aurora, the free 4x most people compare to Dwarf Fortress. A new release came out a few weeks ago and it's fun to learn the new mechanics.

Baldur's Gate 3 -Just best Heroic Mode for the first time and got those sweet sweet golden dice.

Im very excited to start a new playthrough and use em!

I've been thinking about giving Diablo 4 another shot... I haven't played since release is the new season any good?
