    Deep Rock Galactic - I should have probably picked it up earlier. It’s such a wonderful co-op game with so many memorable, epic moments happening.
    Very charming atmosphere, too.

    I finally got around to playing the Portal series. I played 2 first (it was a free Games with Gold pick) and thought it was great, so about 20 or so puzzles through the first Portal now. I’m kind of surprised the series ended with one sequel.

      There would probably be 4 sequels by now if it was by any other company but Valve. Sadly, their priority has been Steam for too many years now. Their game development side goes at a glacial pace and all the developers that originally made their critically acclaimed games have left or are leaving.

    Primarily playing Guild Wars 2 and getting prepared for the new expansion around the end of August! I’m also super stoked for Baldurs Gate 3 and going to jump in with some friends!

    Horizon: Zero Dawn, almost non-stop. The mechanics can be a bit finicky sometimes, but the story and world building keep me coming back.

    There are a lot of little things that I really don’t like about it and these almost certainly exist because it was originally exclusive to Playstation. I sometimes find my self a bit irked because there was so much more they could’ve done to make it a classic. Instead, it’s just good enough.

    Borrowed Metroid Dread at the library. I love the game, but I’m having a real tough time. It’s a little too hard for me, but I’m still hoping to finish it.

    Doing another run in Satisfactory. I’m building a mega base building vertically and horizontally. I’m around 30 hours in in this run, made coal after about 6 hours and I’m still working on oil, but getting there. I’ve gotten to the last tier before, stayed a while, but never pushed long enough to obtain the employee of the planet cup or to buy everything in the awesome shop.

    I started Hades recently and have been enjoying it a lot. I’m debating if I should pick up Sonic Frontiers, it’s been forever since I played a Sonic game.

      Sonice frontiers is fantastic! Took me back to the good ole days of playing on a Sega Genesis and Dreamcast. Also a great opportunity to catchup on Sonic lore. Heres a good summary of the, though it does go over Sonic Frontiers, so beware spoilers!

        I would really enjoy the nostalgia trip like that. Genesis is where I started with Sonic and became a Sega fan from then on too. Thank you so much for the link, going to check it out.

    Surprised nobody else has said Tears of the Kingdom yet. I’m like 110 hours in and still haven’t beaten the main story. There’s just so much to do!

      I’m still playing it, too.

      Also I’m playing Tomb Raider AnnIversary on the PSP.

      I’m still there as well, so much to complete still. I want to finish it so I can go back and finish Hogwarts legacy so that I can go back to my regular scheduled program of FFXIV.

    Still playing Final Fantasy XVI. The story and characters are fantastic. Now that I’ve put some time into it, the combat feels pretty great. Excited to see where it goes. I feel like I’m still in the first quarter of the game.

      This is also what I’m playing. I’m just over halfway and I am still enjoying it, but feeling a bit let down overall. I got sucked into the hype, for once, so that’s my fault. I wasn’t prepared for the game to be so linear.

      Loved Disco Elysium. My buddy couldn’t get into it. I was surprised… and bummed. I thought it was so damn… literary. Just fantastic.

        Yeah. Some said it’s the best book they’ve ever played or the best game they’ve ever read. To be honest the beginning was a bit slow, but has really kicked in and the world they have crafted is very unique.

    Finally getting around to playing the halo infinite campaign. Fingers crossed it’s okay for an old geezer who’s been playing since the original Xbox release.

    I’m playing Tom Clancy’s The Division (using GeForceNow). And I’m really liking it. Dying is not really frustrating, but challenging at most. Progression is not hard and the story is really enjoyable.

      Out of curiosity, do you experience any crashes/disconnects?

      I quit playing the game due to heavy crashes in the middle of missions. Was a widespread and known issue.

      EDIT: forgot to mention, PC wise. Not console.

        I haven’t played since last week, but I’ve never experienced any crashes. Anyway, I’ve seen that on Reddit someone was complaining about the same problems as you.
