What are you playing at the moment?

Due it being old, and also having a three old, the disk drive on my ps4 is greatly fucked. This was annoying as I had a sudden urge to play Cyberpunk.
Anyway, it was only 19.99 on the PsStore, so I'm downloading it now - give it an hour tonight before I remember it was shite.
 
Hah, I only just installed it myself to celebrate having a GPU strong enough to run it.
Considering the beastly amount of power required to turn up the graphics settings, they're entirely underwhelming. Spider Man was a lot more cartoony in style, but it actually looked a whole lot better over all (next to no glitches) and ran entirely in the 70-144Hz range. As opposed to CP2077's occasional brief dips down to the 30s. (It's mostly running 70-ish)

Not really far enough along to comment on the game itself. I'm certainly not as drawn in as I was with Witcher 3 though.
 
Been playing Phantom Brigade. It's a bit like a mech version of John Wick Hex. All the configuration options of something like Armoured Core, Battletech or Front Mission - different body types, various makes and classes of weapons, sub components like heat sinks or hydraulic boosters, thrusters. You can build different types of mechs - snipers, rushers, missile boats etc etc. And the combat is set out in advance. So you see what the enemy is going to do and you plan accordingly and then both sides act at once. When it works it is fucking glorious to set up an ambush or crossfire, or flank them and appear from behind a building to pop some shotgun rounds in their backs. The strategy part is a bit lacklustre and the pilots are unremarkable but, for a tiny team, it's pretty great. Really is a load of fun.

Also gave Wo Long a go. Think it's from the same people who made Nioh. So kind of Dark Souls but slightly different and set in medieval China. It looked pretty good, but I didn't understand a lot of it.
 
Think I already said I finished Death & Taxes. Is worth a playthrough. :)

Currently trying to finish Shadow Tactics 2. I like it a lot, but I find it hard to sustain my attention for long periods to it.

I have just bought:

Stacklands - Card Game that's got really good reviews.
Shadow of War - Played the first one last year I think and really liked it.
Constructor Plus - I remember playing the original constructors as a child and loved them, but didn't really get them. Picked this up now so looking forward to giving it a spin.
Lego Harry Potter 1-7 - I can't really be bothered to drop £40 on Legacy although I will get it at some point.

All in the steam sale.

BristolEcho Stacklands is fantastic
 
The Last Spell has hit 1.0. I think I'm on about 150 hours across early access. It's a great game, if you're into that kind of thing. Take 3 heroes and try to hold off increasingly tough hordes of monsters. It's all about positioning and knowing which skills to use in the situation, or against particular types of enemies, managing crowds. You get different skills, perks and equipment and use that to build characters, so somebody might get bonuses with poison, or heal whenever they kill an enemy, or be able to use healing better - pretty much whatever you want.

Recommended.
 
Lost In Random. Got it cheap in the Steam sale; it's been on my wishlist for ages. Just started it but the opening bit has been full of atmosphere - it's basically like The Nightmare Before Christmas as a game. Promising so far
 
I am not actually playing it, but there's a curious part of me that is sorely tempted to try out "Sucker for Love". A Japanese-style dating sim that has you making sacrifices and performing dark rites to date the Elder Gods.

Everspace 2. Played a few hours last night, it's good. I've missed pootling around in space, shooting bandits and grabbing loot.

Yeah I like it. I can't resist the side missions though, never get anywhere. I like the variety of weapons and I just found the ship dealer so going to have a play around with those. Could do with some different enemies but guess there are some set pieces coming up.

Yeah, im doing a lot of missions to get cash up but they are becoming a bit more tricky (pirate bases...)

The story is opening up nicely.

I do like that some missions are on planet surfaces too and its really pretty, even using the integrated graphics of my Ryzen 5600G.
 
Ashes 2063, then onto Ashes Afterglow. Total Doom conversion, its great. Themes of Stalker, Fallout, 80s post apocalypse, Plays like Duke Nukem in a way. You collect scrap to trade for weapon upgrades, ride a motorcycle, kill everything that moves except in settlements, the usual Good Shit.
 
God of War on PC. Still undecided how much I like the combat but it looks great, the characters are good, the puzzling is just right, the sound design is excellent. I've been on Red Dead Online for months now so a much more linear game is taking some getting used to but I'm enjoying it.
