    I’ve been mostly playing Hitman World of Assassination this year and absolutely loving it. I’m hitting me stride with Freelancer now and it’s been a heart thumping blast.

      One of my absolute favourite games. It’s actually my second-most played game of all time I believe. It doesn’t get talked about nearly enough on here imo, I’m excited to see someone else playing it.

        It’s just incredible. The amount of work the devs put in and the way everything interlocks, it’s so much fun trying to pull it all apart. I feel like I could play this game for years.

          I’ve been following the series since probably 2017 (back when they were individual instalments) and I’m still not bored of it so I agree it’s a game you could play for years.

    Marathon. I play(ed) Destiny before and avoided PvP but Marathon is a great game.

    I’m enjoying being free from gear fear. I’ve let it all go, just playing for fun. It’s great.

        Thank you!

        I’m having a lot of fun with it and I can definitely say it is one of my favorite consoles of all time. The lineup is super good and a lot of the games hold up really well in my opinion.

    I picked up a ps5 from the local shop because it was 100$ cheaper. I figured it would be wise to get it if I wanna keep socializing with my friends and before they get stripped for parts.

    I got Dragon’s Dogma 2 and the 2k25 tennis game (we had a tennis game for the SNES so it felt right) from the library and I guess Siege for free.

    Dogma 2 is like Dogma 1 but more and prettier still weird in the same way.

    2k25 tennis is playable if you’re not connected to the Internet, there’s training and free matches you can play no problem.

    Yet to buy a game for it, been tons of fun. The free to play games are free too if you just don’t buy anything.

    Redsec is what I play when I do cardio, the gauntlet mode is good enough I’d say.

    My little cousin was over and he said “the finals” was pretty good which is also free.

    I’m putting my name on the list for the astro bot game with the library because the DS5 is genuinely neat and it seems like the only game with design dedicated to using it. Will be getting the couple of sports and GTA 6 because that’s just how I do a lot of my hanging out. Will end up being cheaper then the drive and the flights 😅.

    TLDR.

    Always buy a console with a disk drive and check out your local library

    Just grabbed the Kerbal Space Program DLCs in the sale.

    My daughter is really into space stuff atm, so I think about starting to play it with her.

    MGS: Peace Walker which so far has the best gameplay out of all MGS games I’ve played but I hate the boss fight

    Drakengard 1: I like the story but the gameplay gets kinda boring but I’m still close to the beginning

    Resident Evil 1 (PSX): I finally get why people love this series, I hated REmake but this makes actually want to play other RE games

      What OS are you on? I’ve been wanting to try modding Elden Ring but I’m worried it’ll be tough on Linux (I also haven’t had time).

        Windows on this computer unfortunately. I’m not sure how well it works on Linux. I’m worried about that too, that’s why this computer still has Windows

    This week, I been playing…

    Mindustry

    Open source factory tower defense. What more can I say?

    Forza Horizon 5

    When I only have a short time to play, I’ll open this up for some dumb fun. Just recently got the Hot Wheels DLC, and that’s definitely worth trying. Takes a normally half-serious racing game and adds loops and boosters and upside down track and all kinds of other bonkers shit. So now you’re taking real-life serious cars on completely ludicrous, impossible tracks through cool scenery. Huge smiles were had.

    TagPro - looks like a really simple webgame, but is honestly one of the best games I’ve ever played. Extremely simple rules, but hard to master. A lot of skillful plays, but also a lot of choas and fun. The community is overall nice and positive (sometimes individual players get a bit frustrated).

    If you want to give it a try, go ahead - no account needed. Currently, only the US servers seem to be busy.

    Very old indeed but I’ve been on Carrion Fields a lot lately, revisiting old haubts, and it’s still as fun as I recall. Uniquely for a MUD they even released on Steam with a client package and everything.

    In the past I took characters very seriously and any time I died (let alone faced down the inevitable permadeath), it was emotionally crippling. This time around I’m mature enough to see the silly and just have fun with it.

    Deep rock galactic

    made a bit of progress in every class and one promotion, still learning the game tho a definitely a long road a head of me before I even think of jumping into higher difficulties. it’s nice to play, even with random dwarves in every run

    Shadow gambit the cursed crew

    got that tactical, sneaking itch to strach, and the game doing it very well for now. I enjoy the story quite a bit, the humor is a nice addition as well, so overall I can only recommend. Crew arcs between mission is great element to explore backstories

    Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader. If you liked Owlcat’s other RPGs, definitely give this one a try. It’s strictly turn-based, more like their Pathfinder game had a baby with XCOM, but it feels faster than playing Wrath of the Righteous in turn-based. Story is pretty engaging so far, even though I went in knowing very little about Warhammer. Loving some of the characters, which I feel is always one of Owlcat’s strong suits.
