    A few weeks ago I commented on one of these posts saying I’d played cyberpunk for so long that I none of my games were interesting and I’d been flicking through stuff like RDR2 and transport fever but wasn’t getting invested.

    2 weeks later all I’ve been playing is RDR2, it’s so immersive now that I’ve got a new GPU and I can max out the settings in 4K.

      I go though stages with RDR2 of playing it solid for a week or 2 and then not touching it for months. I’m still nowhere near completing the story as I spend most of the time just doing random stuff and taking it very slow.

    Baldurs Gate 3, obviously. I play D&D every week, I grew up with Baldurs Gate 1 & 2 and I loved Divinity Original Sin (and it’s sequel). I am really enjoying this one.

    I have completely lost interest in Diablo 4 now, which seems so, so shallow in comparison.

      I’m really loving BG3 also. Larian have smashed it right oot the park.

      Everything else has fallen by the wayside. Although, to be fair I did lose most of my interest in Dave the Diver as soon as I finished the main mission.

    Playing Breath of the Wild after finishing the main story of Tears of the Kingdom. Got bored with BotW the first time I played it and am giving it another go after really enjoying the sequel.

      I fell off Breath of the Wild pretty quickly, but am really enjoying Tears of the Kingdom.

      How are you finding it going back to BotW?

        It’s weird the things I thought would be there like caves and wells. Combat feels much more difficult without fuse and some of the shrines are really tough. Enjoying it but I feel like I might fall off again at some point.

    Started Death Stranding Director’s Cut last night. Played it a year or two ago for like an hour so can’t remember anything bar the very basic premise. Also picked up Chivalry 2 in August’s Humble Monthly which seems rather fun, despite me sucking at it.

    On the topic of Humble Monthly, Disco Elysium is included this month. If you don’t own it, I highly recommend it - unbelievable game

      Death Stranding is a legit top 5 game of the decade for me. Loved it so much but also it is the hardest game to explain to people…

    Bought Brotato for the Switch, “just one more run!” It’s one of those and it’s really good!

    Played some Remnant 2 with friends the other night, think we need to reroll, The Red Prince is brutal!

    Also kinda got into Skyrim, never played it before, I’m enjoying the open world and exploring, will probably uninstall it when Starfield comes out.

    Been (very slowly) playing through the Uncharted games over the last couple of months after being given a friends old PS4. Hated the first, but the second has been pretty fun so far.

    Also bought a replacement battery for my Switch, which I’m hoping to get a chance to fit this weekend. After 5 years the original one doesn’t hold much juice.

      I have the Uncharted Trilogy from when it was given away free during the pandemic and I agree that the first is a slog at times. I should probably skip it and start the 2nd game to see if it’s any better.

        That’s what I ended up doing. I got most of the way through, but it was just wave after wave of enemies and got really boring.

        The second one is immediately way more fun

      Spent £350 quid on a wheel a couple of years ago because I really liked the idea. Turns out I’m shit at driving games though so it gathered dust the whole time.

      Last straw was when my youngest was absolutely smashing forza 5 and putting me to shame.

      I used to be in to sim racing in the early-mid 2000s but nowadays it’s a whole new level above what we could do. I’ve never tried iRacing myself but I do follow a couple of streamers.

        If you fancy dipping your toes back in to it, feel free to join us. We have an iRacing league for beginners, and a fortnightly hotlap challenge in Assetto Corsa.

        If you want a copy of AC, let me know. I have a spare key going nowhere fast!

          Thanks for the offer but I just stick to Dirt Rally and driving virtual trucks in ETS2/ATS now.

    I can’t play games :(

    A few years ago I had labyrinthitis and when I got over it I found I couldn’t play games or even watch other people playing games. Something in the way the things move on screen gives me really bad nausea and vertigo, like motion sickness I guess.

    TV and cinema is no problem, it’s just games.

    Football Manager 2012 made a suprise appearance for me. I wouldn’t even call myself a football fan but I do love a good management game and 2012 doesn’t have all the convoluted crap of the newest versions.

    Re-volt, racing RC cars is fun. I found a community patch/update so it runs on modern hardware and it’s been fun.

    I’m not really one to ever finish games so it’s probably a single digit completion rate! That’s especially true now compared to the older generations of consoles.

      FM is one of those games I really wish I could play. Seems like the ultimate RPG. I’m just gash at all things football related and don’t have a fucking clue, so inevitably lose interest after getting pumped again and again.

    I’m still playing Brotato and have also started Sunless Skies. It runs pretty well on steam deck with a community controller layout. oh and the last game completed was Stray. I didn’t get all of the achievements but it was a lovely game

    Pavlov VR - but I’ve been playing this for the last 5 years

    As a side distraction I’ve been playing boomer shooters with the current favourite being “turbo overkill”

      Such a stupidly fun game. I will never not become a piller in prop hunt on the office map. I’m absolutely huge and no one can ever find me.

      My youngest fucking LOVES that game. That and Boneworks. My rift 2 cable is jank though where it connects to the headset so it’s fucked.

      I miss Beat Sabre so much as well - haven’t loved a game like that since guitar hero 2!

    Dark Souls II right now, easily the weakest of the series IMO but still a fun enough experience. Not coincidentally the last game I completed was Dark Souls I as I’m doing a full run through of the Souls.
