Severed Steel (great game)
Deathloop
Fallout: New Vegas (with JSawyer mod)
Severed Steel is amazing. For a game that you can finish the campaign in 2 hours, I still wound up with 20 hours in. They've been adding new content every couple months that keeps me coming back for more. The gameplay is just so tight and fun that I feel like I'll keep coming back to it.

I did just play the demo to Treping2:

It feels kind of like a mix between F.E.A.R. and Severed Steel. There's still some issues in the demo I found. Primarily that sliding could use some adjusting, it doesn't feel right, and you can't pick up ammo if your gun is slightly different. For example, if your gun has a silencer, you can't pick up ammo if the gun on the ground doesn't have a silencer. I assume that will be fixed by release but who knows about the sliding. Also no wall running or diving but it certainly looks a lot nicer graphically.

Started Kirby and the Forgotten Lands, first Kirby game since the original on the NES

Having fun so far thru the first world, my 5 y/o is enjoying the cuteness
Kirby's Adventure on the NES is a freaking classic, but the original Kirby is actually on the GB.
 
Working on getting 100% Completion on the Assassins Creed Valhalla base game - I already have 100% on wrath of the druids, and Tombs of the Fallen.



...and working on 100% on Horizon Forbidden West.

 
I bought Fez probably 8-9 years ago and I'm finally playing it. It's pretty interesting but I wish it was less platform-y and more puzzle-y, mainly because the platforming feels too slippery.

I followed a video guide to get all the trophies in this when I played it. If I hadn't, I'm pretty sure I'd still be playing it now trying to figure out what to do.
 
I was in the mood for an arcade racer lately. I got Need For Speed Heat on Steam for $3.50 a couple weeks ago and thought it was awful, ended up refunding it. Forza is on sale right now though so I picked up Forza Horizon 4. This is exactly what I was looking for. The driving mechanics are so smooth and fun.

I only went with 4 because it was a lot cheaper and I don't care about the online stuff. I just plan on going through the single player career and having fun with that so I didn't need the newest version.

I played FH4 all Summer. I'm really picky when it comes to racers, but it hit the sweet spot. The driving is the perfect balance of realistic and fun, there are no barriers, you're never forced to do anything, there's no real story and there are no overly long cutscenes. It's just focused on the thrill of driving and personal freedom. I also love that there's a classical radio station. Driving around England with classical music playing is so relaxing.

One small issue with the game is that rear- and maybe also front-wheel drive cars are practically undrivable. I recommend ignoring them or converting them to all-wheel drive, if you can. My favorite and go-to car is the Lamborghini Urus, which is fast (especially at acceleration and launch, making it great for getting leads early in races) but also handles incredibly, both on and off road. I ended up driving it about 80% of the time, which is funny because I generally don't jump into racing games to drive SUVs, but it's no ordinary one.

I'm about Five hours into A Plague Tale: Requiem and the story is pretty good. Some of the mechanics are good but there's some really crappy moments in the game (Ch 4 - the 'Rat Race') that was just done so poorly.



Teaching myself PGA2K23. The golf swings are different but the putting greens as well as the wind speed are just not 'on'.

 
DOOM (2016)

It's been a long time since I've played a FPS. It's good old fashioned shoot 'em up fun, but the speed of it really starts to hurt my eyes/brain after like 45min. I've gotta stop and go outside or read a book or something...which I guess isn't a bad thing :laugh:. Must be getting old.
 
Potion Permit (Switch/Steam)

Really enjoying this little game as a chill out and watch something else type of game. Stardew-esque.

I needed a good relaxing game to get away from the stress of work crunch lately and it fit the bill perfectly.
 
I'm a quarter of the way through A Plague Tale: Innocence. Hugo is getting on my nerves and I'm tired of seeing "AMICIA DIED" because everyone and everything insists on killing me first. Can't they attack Hugo, instead, so that I can get away? :innocent:
