Just started playing Grim Dawn again while waiting for Baldur's Gate 3.

I'm surprised nobody else is playing Remnant 2. It just came out and it's pretty damn fun.
They called the original "Dark Souls with guns" and it's definitely that sort of game in the sequel. But it's not as punishing as a typical souls-like since there's no death penalty. It's perfect for my preferences since I hate the "losing all your money when you die" thing in Elden Ring.
Apparently it's very fun in co-op but I have been playing solo so I can't speak to that.
At only $50, it's a pretty solid recommendation from me if "dark souls with guns" piques your curiosity even a little. AA title with no jank and I've only seen a single bug so far in my playing on XSX.
I was just watching a couple friends of mine stream Remnant 2 earlier and it does look pretty slick. It seems there is at least one puzzle that requires co-op to fully solve, and there may be more further in just so you and others are aware.
Return to Monkey Island, Vampire Survivors and Northgard.
Plus, my boss bought an arcade cabinet for the office, so I've been playing lots of different arcade games, mostly Golden Axe, Bubble Bobble and Street Fighter II
Haven't touched RimWorld in a few years. Got addicted to it again this week. Hopefully soon it will pass.
Just finished Final Fantasy XVI and feel vaguely disappointed and unsatisfied. The story kinda fell apart in the last third.
2 weeks until Baldur's Gate 3, no idea what I'll do until then.
The Finals season 3
And lots and lots of Redout 2.
Forbidden West on weekends
Mostly "Against the Storm", an Early Access Steam title.
A bit behind the curve, but I just finished The Return of the Obra Dinn. Wonderful game, I took the time to 100% it and it was very rewarding.
If you are looking for another game with the same feel, try Case of the Golden Idol. I genuinely thought it was the same developer until I looked it up.
Diablo 4 with my wife, and replaying GTA V. Both have been a lot of fun.
How's diablo 4 for a (I'm guessing) casual player? Was looking to pick it up but haven't heard that much positive about it.
I thought the game was spectacularly bad, but I seem to be in the minority. Makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills! It's a very pretty game with super shallow mechanics and it's designed for maximum grind. I can handle grind in an ARPG since it's kinda their thing, but you gotta have some good mechanics to go with it or it's just an idle/incremental game with prettier graphics.
