Besides the obvious BG3, I picked up Book of Hours yesterday and spent the day playing it. It's a very cozy puzzle game

Book of Hours
In my case: Instead of Baldur's Gate 3. I can't find time for Baldur's Gate any more since I started Book of Hours. It's just too good. It's one of those games where I just don't want to stop playing. Just one more book. Light LEAKS through the CRACKS. My mind is BRIGHTER than it EVER was. THE HIGHER I RISE THE MORE I SEE.
Been slowly picking away at Blue Reflection Second Light. It’s nice and chill, and neat that the first game’s subtext of girls love isn’t subtext anymore.
Also been playing some Gundam EXVS Maxiboost On with a friend. Slowly getting our bearings and it’s neat how every session our play improves, as does our coordination.
Trying to learn Dark Souls 3. 20 hours in and finally getting used to the controls. Beat the second boss with 2 deaths so feeling a tiny bit less despair for now.
I finally started looking into emulating on my phone, so I've been playing some games from my childhood. Mostly Alleyway and Pokemon Red, with a little Harvest Moon thrown in.
I'm trying to get the last few cards in the pokemon trading card game on switch, I've been cheating with the rewind feature which has made life slightly less painful but it seems to pre calculate your coin flips so not as powerful as it could be, also played some tabletop simulator and started doing dragon riding races in WoW as part of that event. It's been a crazy year for releases so it's nice having some downtime
I’ve been playing Subnautica Below Zero. Loved the first game and I’ve been meaning to try the second for ages. Nice and relaxing expect when it isn’t.
I've recently been trying to get back into Guild Wars 2, with the new expansion that came out.
Guild Wars 2 by my-self. BGEE with my SO.
Sadly no BG3 in the near future as a computer that can run it costs too much. The two computer can't.

Not a new game, but I've been replaying Undertale as part of a large randomized multiworld. Every item or big event I unlock turns into a random item or unlock for somebody else's game. And random items in their games are sent to me as random items in mine (or another game). It's called Archipelago, it's really fun and there are games you wouldn't expect to be supported (like The Witness). It's called Archipelago.
Oh cool! I've been really wanting to try out Archipelago but the setup for it all seems pretty involved. Still really want to give it a try sometime
- I stopped playing Time Warpers, it's an idle FPS game. The game is fun, but sadly there's not enough interesting progressions to get me thru 500 levels. Most important for me, is that I've managed to play the game comfortably with a left-handed trackball (Kensington Expert placed on left hand side), since I've shifted from right handed mouse couple of months ago. I rarely play FPS, but the game was easy and comfortable enough that I can enjoy the experience with a trackball.
- Armored Core 6. The first AC game for me. While I do enjoy the battles, the mech movement can be a bit slippery, I've just switched to reverse joint legs, maybe it will feel better. The story is interesting, but I kinda wish the character banters are more like in Ace Combat 7, bit livelier, with character portraits. I'm enjoying the game very much
I started Convergence. It is pretty entertaining and also somewhat challenging on highest difficulty.
As someone who almost always plays mouse and keyboard on PC, I had a few struggles with Convergence feeling like it was made console-first.
I understand why, but it just makes me want to go play Hollow Knight or something.
I had the same behaviour, I played everything with mouse and keyboard. Dead Cells, Assassins Creed, Sekiro, Dark Souls, etc. Then with Elden Ring I gave the controller a try just to see how it is, and it worked flawlessly. I think it is just about with what you to a game first.
Elden Ring m&k was a million times better of an experience than original Dark Souls on m&k. What a nightmare.
I think I just expect metroidvanias to feel snappy and robust, and Convergence on m&k did not live up to that standard.
In the end game of Tears of the Kingdom. The systems for collection are really obtuse. I'm pretty sure I have all of the Shrines, but still missing a couple of hearts. Also have to look around for quest starters by teleporting all over
I'm also in the end game part, trying to max out my hearts before putting the game away. I've been using Mapgenie.io to help me figure out what Shrines I don't have. While I love the exploration and the sensor+ helps point you in the right direction, I just want to wrap this one up soon to get to other games in my backlog.
The OG Splinter Cell. I modded my original Xbox not top long ago and am looking to play games on it so it wasn't a waste so I figured why not give it a try?
I am enjoying it so far but I'm used to playing the new Hitman games where the AI is rather predictable and I can gun my way out of most situations. I just beat the Kalinatek level and feel like I need to finish the game at this point.
I don't know if I need to play one game after the other to full understand the overall plot or what game I should stop at if I just want to play the best in the series.
Not sure if I'll play Baldur's Gate 3 because I own the first two on multiple systems and haven't beaten them

I’ve been playing Divinity Original Sin 2 with my partner, we both never really got that far into it in the years we both owned it, so we’re trying to get more into it in anticipation of playing Baldurs Gate 3
I've been jumping between Genshin Impact (Fontaine recently released), Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and Baldur's Gate 3. I haven't made much progress in Genshin or BG3 because I'm having so much fun in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk lol
Mostly Palia this week, with a little Hexceed. Need to get back to TOTK soon.
