      I recently tried Original Sin 2 two weeks ago with the Baldur’s Gate craze. I’m not really a RPG player but I wanted to try it to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.

      Conclusion: I really don’t like RPGs :p

      I was just thinking about this one. Loved the first one and have been waiting for it to be all patched up. How did you play it?

    I recently finished Hyper Light Drifter. It was decent, pretty good level of challenge in boss battles or when the enemies surround you. Backtracking to find secrets was a chore though. And cloud saves didn’t work which was a bummer.

    Before that was another attempt to enjoy No Man’s Sky. I just can’t do it, too many bafflingly stupid design decisions.

    Now I’m loading Red Dead Redemption 2 onto my Steam Deck. Finally time to undertake what I hope to be my favorite wild west adventure ever.

      I might start RDR2 alongside you. The controls and lack of time have kept me away from the game, but I have been itching for a game like it for such a long time.

      I’ll download it on my Steam Deck tonight

    I started South Park The Stick of Truth.
    I never was a big fan, I only ever watched a handful of South Park episodes back then. Regardless, it’s pretty good even if you haven’t watched most of it.
    For sure, if you absolutely hate South Park, maybe don’t get this…
    But if like me you just never really got that much into it or haven’t really kept up with it, it’s absolutely fine.

    Anyhow
    In it, you start playing as a mute South Park newcomer protagonist who himself joins a town-wide bunch of LARPERs in an adventure that goes off the rails.
    It doesn’t shy from breaking the fourth wall.
    It’s utterly fucking stupid at times, which is expected.

    Pretty fun so far.

    Other than Metroid Dread, I also enjoyed Hardspace: Shipbreaker recently. There’s certainly joy to be had in doing a (sometimes) simple job well, and it keeps you on your toes just enough. Major bonus points for a story and characters that struck a lot of the same dystopian chords that Papers, Please did. Just, ya know, in space. I will absolutely play another game in this universe if one comes out.

    Outer Worlds. All the backlash from Starfield reminded me that obsidian did fallout in space years ago in the older style.

    Recently completed Dark Souls for the first time. I’m not sure if I enjoyed it, but it was a unique experience.

    Started Monster Hunter Rise on PC. Some things feel a bit “off” but it’s enjoyable (I actually tried playing on Switch when the game released, but it was miserable)

    I’ve been playing a lot of BattleBit recently.

    I play a match or two at nigth with a friend and it’s always a lot of fun. Everything from the people to the mechanics are enjoyable. At the beginning it was a bit confusing but I’ve gotten used to it.

    I picked up horizon zero dawn again after a year since i dropped it. I really liked it more than a year ago. This was a really big deal for me since I felt like I lost enjoyment in gaming since 3 months ago. Playing HZD, really helped me find my groove back in gaming.

    My patient game would be Slay the spire, I still play it on either switch or Android several times a week.

    However, this year I did something unusual for myself and not patient: I bought Zelda: tears of the kingdom (I did wait about a month after release). Ive already put probably 300 hours into it, and still have quite a bit more I can do, so the $/hour of entertainment value there I don’t think ive matched.
