        Bear in mind, BG3 is more much like your typical cRPG while Disco Elysium is more akin to Planescape: Torment but without combat.

        Both are extremely well-written, and I would say Disco Elysium is arguably one of the best written games period, but don’t go into DE expecting a whole lot of combat - it’s much more like a visual novel than a cRPG.

        Both are amazing RPGs. Highly recommend checking them out.

            I was told at some point to pirate disco elysium because the original devs got removed from making royalties on any sales prior to the release of the game. Does anyone know if this is a credible statement?

              Yea, basically what happened was some crooked businessman took over their company by some very fucked up methods, ousted the people who made the game and stole their IP. This is the most justified case of piracy is good.

      I’m doing an evil playthrough now and finding various things I missed from the first playthrough. But oof, I feel really awful about the horrible things the game lets you do. 😅

    Risk of Rain 2, such an underrated game. It’s been eating up all my free time lately.

    Absolute banger once you get a hang of it.

      Oh man every so often I boot it up with fresh mods! I love that game so much.

      I remember when it launched, I never heard of it, didn’t see any promotional material and just bought it out of curiosity. Was an incredible surprise and put so much hours into it

        I was a huge fan of oblivion and I remember staying up into the early hours at uni waiting for the crack to be released. I put 16 hours in on the first day and never really looked back.

        Currently wrestling with whether or not I can justify spending £800 on my pc to play starfield…

          Eh, Ive got a 1080 ti and starfield runs terribly. I’m averaging 24 to 30 fps regardless if it’s high or low settings. So maybe wait. Not sure what you’re thinking to buy but starfield has pretty poor optimisation and if it’s a minor bump I’m not sure you’ll see much gain.

            My graphics card isn’t horrible actually to be fair. I’ve got an RTX 2070 but it’s on a 10 year old AM3 motherboard with DDR3 in it so it’s time to replace cpu/mobo/ram.

            At the moment it’s not playable for me, I forced myself to play the first few hours but speech visual lags behind the audio and I’m stuck waiting for 10seconds with every sentence. I know loading screens aren’t great for anyone but a solid minute for each screen wasn’t doable either.

      I know a lot of people like them, but you just listed a lot of my least favourite Zelda games. Wind Waker (before the remake, I heard there were a lot of QoL changes that I had issue with from the original?), Phantom Hourglass and Skyward Sword. I would’ve beat my head against a desk if you said Spirit Tracks.

      But people do enjoy these, so I hope you like them much more than I did.

      That’s so funny because that’s one of my favorite Zelda games, and one of my favorite consoles. The Wii U pad was such a dream to play on.

    Contraband Police - it’s like Papers Please, but since it’s in first person, it’s more complex - you have to manage the whole border crossing area with the few staff you have, you have a car that you have to manually drive to a supply shop and to drop prisoners and contraband off at, and you can get ambushed along the way or at your base, where you’re manually be shooting at smugglers with guns you buy.

    Shadows of Doubt - A game where you play as a detective in a city and you have to solve cases (sometimes murders) and often end up committing crimes yourself along the way. A lot of cases solved used by matching faces to names to fingerprints to voices to jobs to blood type, eye colour, hair colour, age, and so on. Extremely addictive and often hilarious, despite how buggy this early access game is.

    Dicey Dungeons - A roguelike deckbuilder with 6 different classes where you roll dice against cards with different effects and your enemy does the same to you. I don’t love roguelikes and really don’t like deck games but this one is really appealing, and has a great soundtrack. The different classes play through a LOT of different “episodes” where the rules of the game change.

    also playing a lot of Heroes of the Storm every goddamn night

      I love both of those games so much. RE7 as the spooky RE experience I was too young to have when the first 2 came out, and RE8 as a campy horror movie (that spawned amazing memes on the subreddit before reddit went to shit) that is extremely fun to play. It’s also short enough that you can blast through again and again trying to beat your last time or trying out different guns… Loved it. Though it was cheesey, I did love the Winters’ story by the end—even made me tear up a lil

        It’s one of those games that do a magic trick and make time go poof. Very deep, tons of things to do, and extremely moddable with a rich ecosystem. Something you can easily sink hundreds of hours into without even realizing it.

        Excellent game overall.

    Have about 200 hours of Valheim logged with my wife. I’m honestly feeling burned out, but she’s still into it, so I’m trying my best to remain interested. I love this game, but we’ve been playing of so much.

        I loved it until I didn’t.

        Don’t remember how far I got, maybe 2/3 of the biomes, then I burned out and got bored. That was a while back, and flattening the land was really glitchy. I’d have an area perfectly flattened and ready to commence building, save it all down, come back next day, and it’d all gone to shit again. I got sick of trying. It became more of a grind just to get back to my last save point than I wanted, and gave up on it.

        Did it ever get a full release?

        Vampire survivors is in my library and liked it too, but I prefered Brotato. More variation, your selection matter more and no 360 weapons you can overpower.

    I guess Kirby and The Forgotten land mainly.

    And frankly I’m amazed with how good it is. I never thought this would be “my type of game”, and it’s not like I’m “wanna play this for 8h a day” addicted, in fact I get my fill after an hour or 2, but it’s just great. Like really great, so far 9 out of 10 for me.

    I’m in persona 5 royale whenever I’m solo and just finishing up season 1 of Diablo 4

    Persona’s really, really big (based of persona 4 I thought I knew when it would finish, but my guess was way off) and diablo’s doing a good job of being “video game golf”

    Finished Terraria for the first time since I got some 10 years ago. Now I’m replaying Grim Dawn, excited for the new expansion pack.
