What are you playing at the moment?

Had a right touch on eBay getting Star Wars Squadrons for my ps4 at only 7 quid. It's sodding brilliant, at least for a sad Star Wars obsessed git like me. Flying a TIE fighter along the hull of a Star Destroyer.......goosebumps for real
 
Tried Ascent, it's alright but not sure it really grabbed me.

Got a DCSS run going that seems to be alright, three runes and not dead yet.

Playing about with Civ VI expansion too. It picked Australia for me, which seems to be scraping the barrel a bit for great historic empires and there are so many systems now that i have no idea how they all work.
 
CIV IV is good but I think I'm done with it until the next one. Diplomatic victory seemed to easy and I got a bit bored of the mechanics. Still got some decent games out of it though.
 
Oh, and High Fleet. Looks... interesting, might sit down with it and see what it's like. Did the prologue, it was good but a bit confusing.

It's just all a bit much. Volcanoes erupting and governors getting promoted and religion spreading and about 200 wonders to build and natural wonders and great people and city states and and... Just a bit overwhelming really.
 
Mini Motorways. It's about £7 on steam at the moment and it's the perfect blend of "just one more game" and strategy, it's a bit slow paced at the beginning of the game but it gets proper hectic later on. Got it on Saturday morning and put about 10 hours into it by Monday morning.

I sort of like the look of this. Is it a bit like the metro game?
 
Jupiter Hell, which is turn based Doom. It's pretty good. Quick, but feels like there is enough stuff to think about too. And blowing things apart with shotguns is always good.

I notice the Xcom games are on sale. Are they any good? I see the name mentioned.

If you like turn based tactics /strategy games then yeah buy them. XCom2 is a brilliant game. There's a thread on it somewhere. The only negative is that sometimes there is so much going on that it feels like you keep getting interrupted. But one of my favourite ever games.

DotCommunist you need to play Jupiter Hell.

I seem to like turn based games like Civ but I'm assuming it's different. It looks like c&c. It's £7 so I might take it know and come back to it.

Yeah it's not really like Civ. You control an organisation that fights aliens. You have a strategic level where you control a base and research new weapons or armour, or get bonuses for your soldiers. And then a turn based tactical map where you complete missions and fight enemies. It's a lot better than I make it sound. Basically you put a lot of time, effort and emotion into building up your squad and then they all get killed.

that is superb, a sci fi roguealike and the doom theme and ranged combat/cover mechanics are :cool:
nice one, just sank an hour into it lol.

It's really clever, roguelike but feels like an action game. Bit of variety from different perks, modding weapons, he says fuck a lot. Decent graphics, bit of metal. All good.
