    Enshrouded.

    So far it’s as addicting as Valheim. Maybe more, since it has more guiding.

      Any interest in playing with another player? I’m looking for a server currently, and would be interested in playing with some fellow Lemmings.

    I can’t really check my overall playtime but once again I’m being sucked in by Minecraft.

    As a teenager it was my default game and if I could see my playtime I recon it’s 5 times higher than my next biggest game which was Skyrim at about 500 hours across both editions. When I was a teen, I’d adored how I could just get lost in this peaceful, lonely world.

    For the last 6 years, I’ve been trying to play more innovative indie games that I can broaden my love for the medium, but every now and again I yearn for the mines. It’s basically the only game I can enjoy after day of work too.

    My friends have been getting back into Monster Hunter World recently, so I decided to pick it up as well. I stopped in High Rank when I first played it, and hit Master Rank over the weekend. I’m looking forward to smacking bigger monsters with bagpipes.

    I’ve been replaying Loop Hero on the Deck. I never finished it the first time but now I can do a few loops before bed.

    Other than that I’ve also been playing a heavily modded Project Zomboid. Working on building a base to fend off enemy bandit NPCs and zombies. Having to fight something that can shoot back at you has given the game new life.

    Shattered Pixel Dungeon.

    It’s like the only phone game that’s got integrity, can be put down at a moment’s notice, doesn’t rely on good controls, and is good.

    Picked up Sonic All Stars Racing on the Deck, and it’s super fun. Never heard about the game when it came out. It’s basically Mario Kart with Sega characters, but thats… really fun.

    Suicide Squad.

    I started last night after work and had to force myself to go to bed. The movement and combat in the game are a ton of fun and giving me Doom Eternal vibes. Dancing around the battlefield, using the right attack on the right npc, and just making things explode.

    It’s damn fun.

    I was a teenage exocolonist. I hadn’t even heard of it, but it’s one of the best games I’ve played in the last 5 years.

    Kind of a visual novel, card puzzler, and social sim. Like if persona had poker instead of turn based battles.

      Prepare to do lots of crying. I cried a lot with this game. It’s wonderful.

        I finished it yesterday. Played through the ending twice, and was planning to do it more but the second ending was so perfect and imperfect at the same time, that it just felt like it was the ending I wanted.

        Amazing game, now I’m looking for similar ones!

    • Yakuza 0 – doing the real estate thing as Kiryu; already beat two Kings
    • Lunacid – the atmosphere is amazing, but this game desperately needs a pause button

    Also about to try Factorio once again

    Last time I tried it I found it nice, but overwhelming and without much incentive to continue playing it. Maybe this time this changes

      Fancy that.

      I’m going through Yakuza Kiwami at the moment, hoping to maybe finish it over the weekend and then start number 2.

      Hoping to have Granblue Fantasy Relink next week. Wasn’t able to secure a copy due to low stock.

      Classic or retail? Or SOD? To be honest right now is great time to get back into WoW. Multiple ways to play the game and the new xpac is actually pretty fun!

        First impressions are good, I’m SHOCKED by all the quality of life stuff, and the levelling is soooo fast! Feels great but definitely a bit confusing, I quit in warlords so a lot has changed.

          The leveling is a lot of fun. And running dungeons with the scaling. You can play some seriously OP classes that scale really well. I also really enjoy the new dragon mounts. They feel like guild wars flying if youve ever used those before. But yes taking away from the need to play every single day and you can hop in and out of some decent content without a crazy time sink is really nice. Im impressed! Since the last few xpacs have been pretty meh in my opinion.

            I literally only played this afternoon and got my main from 35 to 59, for an old player like me that’s insane, on classic I played countless hours and never managed to catch up to max level. Not gonna lie, it’s working, I’m excited for end game and it feels like this might be an actual return. Haven’t tried the new dragon mounts I guess that’s something for when I hit 70. I’m definitely buying the war within now with the included dragon flight X-Pac (so far I only restarted the sub). I don’t know if it would work since I’m on EU servers but if you want to play soon, I’m down!

              Im on NA servers but with the ease of leveling im sure i could level a character fast haha. Also cross realm is a thing too but im also not sure how that works. I agree though i feel like they really have been able to grab me with the gameplay. Its refreshing compared to how the dailies and stuff used to work. Classic too.
