What are you playing at the moment?

Unfortunately I don't know anyone else with a headset, so I'm limited to playing solo. Probably why I've hardly played it for months.

Yeah, I basically only bought the game because I knew a couple of people with headsets who were interested in playing. The biggest downside of it is that you need to sync up with people to play it. Or you can go online, but I don't especially enjoy online gaming with completely random people. Also meeting random people on VR feels awfully weird to me.

My dad also got me a copy of the re-make of Mafia, which I'm really enjoying - been ages since I played the original!
 
Monster Train. It's a really good "slay the spire" kind of thing. There are some really nice systems in there to abuse and it keeps giving you new stuff to keep your interest up.

I'm doing ok on controller for the time attack, but from the brief try I've had at the first race it's very difficult. The AI cars are just driving away from me even on the straights.

There is a nack to AC. I couldn't win to save my life so spent some time getting the right camera and controller settings. Then it all came together and I found I could win most races if we were all in the same car. Also, ignore the cornering overlay assist thing as it doesn't get it right at all. I leave it on just so I know what's coming but definitely don't brake when it tells you too or the rest of the field will just sail past.
 
Replayed the free Diablo 3 intro and enjoyed it more than I remember doing before, but I'm not paying twenty quid for an 8-year-old game that is going to be replaced soon, so instead I reinstalled Path of Exile.
 
On a whim I installed Final Fantasy XIV (because I've played and given up on literally every other MMO in existence) - and surprisingly I'm actually really enjoying it! I thought the overly cutesy anime-like character design would be too annoying, but it's not totally terrible; the story is good, the class/job leveling stuff is interesting, crafting seems relevant for a change, and the graphics are nice. Might actually stick with this one for more than a couple of days. :)
 
Immortals fenyx rising ( Through Uplay plus ) .

I'm Enjoying it , AC x Zelda , more of a light-hearted AC , but not that easy , looks lush , has humour that isn't grating although some of the puzzles are a bit tricky , definitely worth a look if you want a new open world adventure to get lost in.

And now I've gone and done it to myself again with Slay the Spire :D

Finally beat Ascension 20 (with Defect)
Now plugging away with the others. Ironclad giving me the most difficulty, oddly.

Horizon Zero Dawn.

Downloaded off PS Now on a whim, can't put it down. Working from home today and it was a very quiet day, just as well really as I put in about 5 hours into it today.
 
Whipping through AC Valhalla on easy (as usual) - a little too easy tbh - but loads of fun apat from the fact that it crashes a lot
 
Jedi: Fallen Order. It's absolutely brilliant. Essentially, it's a 3D platformer (so far) but with added stormtroopers. Deflecting laser bolts right back into the face of your enemy is just brilliant. Great story too and loads of great Star Wars features throughout like TIE fighters buzzing past and a cutesy droid helping you out. Great stuff.
 
Yeah, it got some mediocre reviews but I rather enjoyed it. It only gets tedious if you get obsessive about every little secret and whatnot, because there's no fast travel and some of the locations are enormous!

I do really want to play this at some point. It reminds me of the Jedi Knight series to an extent.

I've recently purchased Superliminal and it's really good.
 
tommers is right, Monster Train is quite the ride in spite of not liking the aesthetics I couldn't put it down for weeks. I'd also encourage any recovering Spireheads to dig through the mods available. If you're using Steam the workshop makes it pretty easy, and there is some superb options out there. I've been particularly enjoying Save the Spire in which you play as one of the bosses making your way down the spire to smash up the hero.

I've mostly been playing lots of CS and Hades, which is the first of Supergiants games to really click with me. I think I've picked up everything they've made but never actually enjoyed playing them that much. Pyre had a great concept, but again I tired of the central Speedball style sports game and just wanted to do more exploring with the characters.
 
I caved and treated myself to Immortals Fenyx Rising on Sunday. Three hours in and I'm really enjoying it. It's very pretty, the combat is good enough, the world feels alive...yes it's basically Breath of the Wild with Greek mythology but those things are good so...
 
Star Wars Battlefront II as it was 70% off on Steam, and they've fixed bugs, and removed the accursed lootbox pay to win bit. As someone who was brought up on Star Wars, it's chiming very nicely with my inner 8 year old. Looks great, fun to play, especially Jedi/Sith characters, unsurprisingly fun to be Yoda and jump around lightsabering Stormtroopers for example. what's not to like apart from the 80+ gig download.
 
Kids are fighting over who uses the pc so I'm going to play some boardgames with my mates on boardgamearena.com.

Otherwise it's DCSS again, or Monster Train.

Is there an AI you can play against on BGA? I've only found it for tutorials, but not for a full game.
 
Played the Fights in Tight Spaces prologue, which is free on Steam. Played the demo last year, which was great, and things have noticeably improved from there.

It's clearly influenced by Into The Breach and John Wick Hex (and I see that Mike Bithell has appeared in the credits). It's so far up my street that it's basically my house, but it's really good. Card-based, trick people into hitting each other, bash their heads into scenery. Like a Hollywood action film but if it was a puzzle game. You can try it for free.

Really looking forward to it being released, think it is already out on Xbox.

Doesn't sound up my alley, but kind of interesting.
 
Stardew Valley 1.5 is now out, so that's Christmas and New Year taken care of
