The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.

    Baldur’s Gate 3, four playthroughs back to back, two of em multiplayer. I still play it every now and then when I want to continue my honor run.

    Besides that, Rimworld. Nearly 4k hours.

    I am utterly shellshocked by how much I’m enjoying Helldivers 2. It’s been a very long time since I’ve daydreamed about going home to play but I just can’t wait to blast some bugs with friends most days. It’s like I’m 10 again

    I’m still playing Starfield. I’m 120% the targeted audience. It helped me go through depression.

    I’m a 45 years old dude, and I started creating a comic with my character in Starfield, by taking screenshots and adding speech bubbles with Figma. I didn’t know I had it in me.

    As far as I’m concerned, Starfield is self-care.

      I got so hooked on Factorio for years that after trying Satisfactory for a few hours I had to stop since I had things to do in the next year and a half. One day I hope I’ll have time to give it a real shot.

        yeah that is a good idea I have almost 1000 hours in satisfactory and have a real problem of telling myself I will go to bed after I finish this production line then I blink and it’s 4am.

    Completely hooked on would be Dark Souls 3. Right now I’m playing The Witcher 3, and while it’s good, it makes me want to boot up DS3 - less talking more fighting

    Dragons Dogma 2

    • story: garbage
    • storytelling: garbage
    • performance: garbage
    • CAPCOM: garbage

    But I tell you what, the world, exploration and gameplay they’ve put together, it’s all A+.

      I turned it to Japanese voices so I didn’t have to hear the god awful English voice acting and it’s improved my experience a lot

      I hope they add a localization patch so I can change it to something fun like Spanish or German

      I just got it. Beat my first red deck run, but it has yet to really sink its hooks into me. I’d be curious to hear what makes it work for you.

        I couldn’t say why it got me so hooked. I like roguelikes/rogue-lites as well as deckbuilders, and I think it hits a really good balance of the things that make them fun - challenge, randomness, a variety of strategies that can make different runs feel very different. Also good achievements and unlockables.

    Currently Horizon: Forbidden West. So glad the PC port only took 2 years this time around rather than 5 for the first one (or however long it was)

      factorio is one of the best automation games ever, and also has just about any quality of life feature you could think to add to a game.

      i’m in my first ever modded playthrough with space exploration and i’m blown away by the increase in complexity. the vanilla game is great but the mods are definitely worth trying if you want an exponential jump in complexity.

        My latest game is with Krastorio, and I’ve been loving the added complexity, though I’ve heard it’s lighter than some other mods. Definitely doing a Space Exploration run next I think.

      Haven’t touched Factorio in ages. Really looking forward to diving back in with the Space Age expansion!
