The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.
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
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.
Ive been playing a lot of read dead redemption lately.
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.
That’s deep rock Galactic and star trek for me, whenever I’m bringing those 2 then times are tough.
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)
If by “were” you mean “are”, then Balatro.
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.
satisfactory on my 8th full playthrough and the game is not even 1.0 yet
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.
Currently hooked on Factorio.
Before that, Baldur’s Gate 3.
Before that, Factorio.
The Factory Must Grow
Haven’t touched Factorio in ages. Really looking forward to diving back in with the Space Age expansion!
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.
Krastorio 2 + space exploration on the same file works well together
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
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
Deep Rock Galactic
Just gotta finish one last assignment…
Postal Brain Damaged. If you like boomer shooters,
It’s got charming art and level designs, satisfying weapons, and a whole lot of irreverence.
I’m out of the daydreaming phase because I’ve beaten it a few times, but it’s still my comfort food game of choice.
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
It has a special place for me because a long time ago, when I was younger, I had R&C Size Matters as the only game on my PSP and that’s because I bought the PSP in a bundle
And that was the only R&C game I played until Rift Apart and that shit hit me like that scene in the end of Ratatouille mfer
RDR2
How is it so far?
I started playing RDR2 in 2022 but I felt it to be so cumbersome. Running around on horse doing shit that doesn’t matter.
Maybe I am not recollecting it correctly. Just wanted to know more about it from you.
It took a while to get going, but eventually the story worked well to pull me in. I was hooked on the character development and the plot.
The world is so vivid and beautiful too. Lots of things to look for, hunt, explore, etc. I really liked it.
I also had my character grow a big mustache. My wife won’t let me do that so I lived vicariously through the game for that too.
Haha. Superb. Will give it a shot again.
Returnal. I went hard for a few weeks working those biomes.
I am currently going down the rabbit hole of sim racing. It’s dangerous, and I’m trying my best not to drop tons of money into it.
I almost went down that rabbit hole after watching the Netflix F1 show haha. Never watched a race before that.
