On one hand, I really want to continue of Ghost of Tsushima.
On the other hand, I have Genshin Impact installed that Ive been meaning to try (reddit and my younger sister tell me its easily possible to do all but the highest level stuff without spending any money,/gambling and even said content is still doable with skill).
Though in the end, Ill probably default to Stardew Valley 😂
I bought Ghost of Tsushima in one of the recent sales, and I’ve been enjoying it a great deal, so I’ll likely be joining you there.
Take this as lemmy also joining reddit and your sister in saying that all of genshin’s exploration and quests are super casual and free to play characters can easily do them.
The only thing hard to do while f2p are two endgame dungeons that change monthly. But these two endgame dungeons have nothing to do with any main or side quests and you can completely ignore them if you want.
Roger, thanks for the info!

Make sure to get the encounters dlc, it improves the main game experience, and make sure to prioritize Tareen’s tasks, they take forever.
Most importantly, start playing on easy until you’re really ready and have beat it at least once.
At some point, probably after my steam deck is fixed, I’m gonna have to start Psychonauts 1. It’s been sitting in my steam library for a while and I’m positive a steam deck would be able to play through it just fine, and better than both my desktop and laptop.
Do you know if the controls still require tweaks or does it work out of the box these days?
Absolutely no clue. I have yet to even install it even once since buying it, but definitely plan on changing that this year.
I completed Psychonauts recently on my PC. There’s a Linux native version as well, and both it and the Windows+proton versions seemed to work… adequately. It’s pretty janky, which I mainly attribute to it being an old PC game.
I’ve just got sifu from egs and will probably get either dreadhunter or windblown somewhere down the line. Along with regular runs on Dead Cells that I’m deeply addicted to.
I’ve just recently started playing through Wasteland 3. Been trying to start up Civ VI, but it appears as though Steam has broken it on my Mac, so I will need an alternative alternative. Maybe something from my Epic or GOG library, so my kids don’t leave me out of luck when they want to use the Steam library, too.
I’m currently playing echoes of wisdom and elder scrolls: oblivion.
Although I drunkenly played GTA4 while listening to early 2000s crunk rap in memory of it being 25 years since 2000
Fallout New Vegas, finally getting around to playing it!
I played it this time of year last year, also first time. It’s pretty solid, much better than FO3 which felt too shallow…
How? Did you dig an old PC out of storage?
I can’t get New Vegas to run on a modern PC without it constantly crashing, even when with the fan patches and mods that supposedly allow it to work on newer PCs. Please share your secrets.
It runs perfectly under Proton via the Steam runtime for me. Genuinely- maybe try Linux?
I bought it on GOG and it worked out of the box, but I might just be lucky.
I finally got to Pillars of Eternity. (Not very surprisingly) It gives me strong Baldurs Gate 1 vibes, and it is pretty good so far.
The binding of Isaac.
There’s a bug update I’ve heard and I want to go back to see how it goes.
Same here. I finished last year by beating Mega Satan for the first time and starting the new year with some more Isaac.
Spiritfall. Got it during the steam sale and I’m interested but haven’t played yet. Looks like a lot of fun.
I am a few hours into Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The first couple hours were unfortunately spent troubleshooting, so my overall impression is less good than Human Revolution, but now I’m picking up good speed on it.
Enjoy it for the gameplay since the story ends in a cliffhanger for a Part 3 that will never be made. ;_;
Dredge, Disco Elysium and Mines of Moria
Some ESO, some Counter-Strike in the usual amounts, however I just bought GTA IV and want to finally play the story instead of just ducking around with RPGs and “the swing” 😁
I’ve never actually finished GTA IV before, though I have messed around in it a fair bit. It’s a great game
Just found out you need to read half a book of terms to create a Rockstar Acc and need that to play the game. Refund worked tho ^^. Will probably just crack it next month.
Oh that sucks, I’ve only ever played it on the 360 on a disc without internet connection.
Started playing Horizon Forbidden West again on my Christmas vacation. I put it down after completing the first area, but have some renewed interest.
I am also finishing up Death’s Door on my Steam Deck, which is a great little game.
I am also going to try something I did in the past to help get me through some games. I’m going to set a goal of completing 2 games a month. The biggest issue in the past was not putting down games that weren’t interesting me enough. I have the free time, just need that extra motivation.
Forbidden west is great with adding complexity and new weapons and tools as you go. I lost steam after just starting the expansion but I played it a ton in a short time. I think its better on pc with mouse and keyboard as well.
I’ve got Pentiment and Persona 5 ready to go. I’ll probably start Pentiment first since it’s undoubtedly shorter.
Balatro looks really tempting, too, but I’d want that for my laptop or phone (?) and not my gaming PC.
