What are you playing at the moment?

Started middle earth shadow of war. The follow up to the excellent shadow of Mordor. Seems more of the same. But that’s not a bad thing.
I couldn't get into the first one , I dont know why as it has the right elements for me to love it.

Might have to try and give it another go at some point.
 
im still playing it, just at the end ( but need to do the oolacile dlc first ) as a mage....

you can play it as a mage , just go and see the blacksmith near new londo ruins as soon as you get to firelink shrine and if you havent spent your souls after beating the first boss you can get more spells , apologies if you already know this :)

I've come to the conclusion that dark souls isn't as good to play when you play ranged, combat doesn't have the meaty feeling of parrying, dodging and back stabbing. Going to have to grind this character to switch away from int as you can't respec the character. Might be easier to just restart.
 
Just completed Zelda BOTW. :D First ridiculously long game I've finished for a while. Apparently took me 75 hours since lockdown. A good game overall and I wasn't at all sure when I first got it. Wasn't bothered by the cut scenes etc. I actually found some of the Devine Beasts harder than the end of the game.
 
I bought last night The White Door, just finished it. It's a short point and click story which handles a sensitive subject in an intelligent and thoughtful way. There are some (simplish) puzzles but the feel of the game is the important bit. It made me cry at the end. Life can be too much to bear at times, but things can get better. It's under two quid on Steam at the moment and it's lovely.
 
I'm playing Phoenix Point again. They seem to have smoothed out the difficulty curve a bit but it still suffers from there not being a clear equipment progression path - there are loads of things that are quite similar but slightly different in one attribute and that can make it difficult to feel like you're getting stronger. But I'm enjoying it anyway. Flawed but good.
 
I really want to play some strategy games again. Working out a cheap way to do it. I got a refurb HP PC last year with a 3470 in it with 16gb. Sadly that rather limits the graphics card, but can fit a 1650 low profile in there. I'm wondering if that might not quite cut the mustard though.

Other option is find a second hand motherboard cheaply with a cheap case and ok PSU and get something a bit better. Or if this is a route to madness.
 
Watchdogs : Legion , on uplay plus, glad I didn't pay full price, as much as its good being set in London, something just doesn't feel right about it.

Shame as I loved the first 2
 
I'm sad to say it hasn't grabbed me. I want to and should absolutely love it...
I'm enjoying it but I have to keep searching on line for how to do stuff which should just take two or three presses of a button, instead it takes about seven
