What are you playing at the moment?

I was waiting for When The Past Was Around bc I do love point&click, bought it yesterday. It is a quite short but beautiful game with an amazing soundtrack. Enjoyed all 2 hours of gameplay.
It seems to me that due to the great empathy for the characters, I felt all the emotions that the developers wanted to convey.
 
Bought Outer Worlds and been playing that this week, enjoying it so far, visually great, story/characters hasn't grabbed me as much as I thought it would given the premise but perhaps given a bit more time it'll get there. Gameplay is smooth and playing it on story mode means I don't have much concern about the fighting which I'm never a fan of (VATS in fallout is what I want, I've never liked FPS games, and ARPGs are usually too close to that for me. The time slowdown thing makes it ok though).
 
I got into Fortnite for about a week. Super addictive (it took an uninstall, no wait let just have another go reinstall and then a 'you tw*t' uninstall to get it off my computer), super slick. Fun tho.

I'm currently loving the No Man's Sky update, graphics are more detailed, world(s) feel richer, and more variety in weather/plant/animals/alien buildings. Still feels like flying around a '70s prog rock album cover too.

I prefer Apex Legends - it's at the right spot in between Fortnite's comic/kids style with weird buildings, and CS:GO/PUBG realistic military style.

I'd say the story starts strong and thins out as it goes. I'm sure they ran out of time to finish the game.

There's a DLC out now as well so maybe they've added to it? I've no idea if it's a separate story or an extension to it tbf.
 
Bought Frostpunk last night as wanted it for a while and wanted to play something new. Only had a brief game so far but seems decent.

Is this the update with the sand worms? Not played NMS for ages. Maybe get it into it more over winter.

Yup..... Not seen a sandworm tho. It's making me want to get very err, tired and hungry, and sit on a sofa and spend hours fiddling around with bases, and exploring new worlds. Which sadly isn't compatible with being a responsible parent.

I've reinstalled Witcher 3. It remembered my progress from 2 years ago, but I had no idea what was going on so I restarted from the beginning on easy story mode. Also added a bunch of visual mods since I now have a fancy new PC.

It took me so long I forgot what I'd done at the start of it. Never got round to completing it because of this...
 
I've discovered that my absolute favourite thing to do in PC gaming is to beat people so soundly in 1v1 Rocket League that they quit before the game finishes. :D
 
Saw Serious Sam 4 was out to very mixed reviews. So started playing 3 again, it's crazy but makes you laugh. Discovered it has parkour secrets that are a massive pain to do and give you 1 health.
I'm getting very attached to the sledgehammer though. Apart from being able to take down bullet sponges in a few hits, I also noticed it has an alternative fire of left-right swish, I can satisfyingly smash loads of enemies in one go if they are grouped together.
 
Assasins Creed Odyssey - quite enjoying this lots of things to do, lots of upgrades on weapons and armour, crafting etc. Like the fact that there are different plots/story lines . Great graphics as well and a big world to explore.
 
Last night downloaded and today going to be getting into Art of Rally. Looks pleasantly different to any other driving game I've seen but plays like a racer I'm told. Open world mode with collectibles, classic rally cars from the "golden age" of rallying, plus a synth soundtrack

 
Hades.

I mean everyone is playing Hades apparently, or "the sexy roguelike" as it is often known. It's not that sexy, though everyone is pretty hot, and there is definite tension going on all over the shop in a very pansexual way. What it does excel at though is merging a pretty brutal procedurally generated Diablo-esque action section with a deep ongoing plot. I wouldn't really call it a roguelike either because, while you die repeatedly, you continue in the game when you do, and there are persistent pickups as well as ones that only apply to one life. In fact you need to die a lot just to uncover bits of what is going on.
 
Finishing Yakuza 0 (its a very long game so I've had a long break between May and now)

Dabbling in Noita now its out of Early Access and would encourage everyone to play it because its brilliant.

That looks cool. What have your impressions been?
 
Finished Wasteland 3, and looking for what to play next. Tempted by BG3 but early access, trying to resist. Might finally finish disco elysium. I got Troubleshooter the other day, might be good.

Looking good so far.
 
Medieval: Total War (the first and best) Simply switching to 8-bit colour mode has fixed all the instability issues and it now runs perfectly on W8.1 :cool:
 
Cloudpunk. Not what I’d usually play, especially considering the sub-Minecraft voxel graphics used when interacting with game characters, but the Blade Runneresque cityscape graphics and music are lush as fuck and the story is interesting
 
Picked up Red Dead again after a long break. It's coming to the time of year that I play more games anyway and I really should finish it.

Also after years of not having a gaming PC I'm having hankerings again to play some some stuff that just can't play on consoles and wondering what I can bodge together on a shoestring to play games like Banner lord and Crusader Kings. Frustratingly my CPU is probably just about OK (i5 3470) it's in a small form factor pc that I got very cheaply second hand last year, which would really limit the GPUs I could choose.
