    Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    I’ve done the 4 regional phenomena and all the geoglyphs, I’m clearing off some side quests before continuing (finishing?)

      Not sure why but I bounced off of Tears hard. I played and finished Breath, but within 5 hours I’d had my fill with TotK.

      Suspect it’s a me thing more than the game.

        I think it is a great game - I’m loving the sandbox feel and the “anything goes” way of traversing the map, solving problems etc - but I admit it doesn’t have the same sense of wonder and immersion (I think?) as BOTW somehow.

        It’s also the first time I’ve made use of any item duplication glitches (it seems like the only “fun” / non-grindy way of making use of the new building mechanic) so maybe that, plus being able to just fly around everywhere on DIY contraptions, has taken some of the fun / point out of wandering around the map 🤷‍♂️

    I’m still playing Deep Rock Galactic. It’s on sale right now. Fantastic value for about £8 in my view.

    I downloaded Hitman from game pass last night and managed to get an hour or so in. Haven’t played a Hitman game in a long time so quite enjoyed it.

    Otherwise it’s been the usual rotation of Rimworld and Forza, but also very much looking forward to Cities Skylines 2. Not sure I’ve ever been this excited about roundabouts.

    Tears of the Kingdom every evening since it arrived. It’s so good.

    My steam deck is gathering dust somewhere, barely used since I got it!

    Bloodborne on the PS5. Never played it before but after falling down the Elden Ring hole last year I’m slowly working my way through the From series. I beat Sekiro over Christmas, now I’ve got this in my sights.

    Also thinking of starting up a smaller, less… mentally draining game to play on nights where I just want to kick back and relax after the kids have gone to bed. Any suggestions?

      Sorry but ‘Elden Ringhole’ lol.

      As for relaxing games - Stardew Valley springs to mind. I really enjoyed Slime Rancher too, and there’s now a sequel. If you want a game to just shut your mind off to, Diablo is good for that.

    Trying to play though ff16 but it’s so difficult because it’s so awfull.

    It’s not ff, it’s not an RPG and the performance is terrible and the side quests are dull.

    Im renting it and I may just send it back before even finishing it.

    Vampire Survivors on my phone.

    Addictive as hell. Completed 100%, now going through and completing every level with every character. about 25% of the way there currently.

      I bought this on Steam during the hype train for it. 100% could not get into it, just didn’t find it engaging or fun.

    Oxygen Not Included. Now on a much more powerful PC than all previous times – maybe I won’t have to abandon my duplicants when I get to the third asteroid and things get too laggy.

      This game always gives me such a hard time. I watch guys like Francis John on YouTube and realize I don’t have an engineering degree to play it haha

    I got myself one of these little RG35XX handheld emulation devices for £60 and stuck on some custom firmware. I’ve been having blast. About halfway through a bug fixed Final Fantasy VI ROM hack, also playing some Zelda Oracle of Seasons and Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga.

    Pikmin was released on Switch last week so I’ve been playing through that. Almost finished 1 and looking forward to starting 2 soon.

    Just now it’s a replay of A Plague Tale: Innocence on Steam Deck; Aliens: Fireteam Elite; and mopping up achievements in Tomb Raider: DE.

    Me and a mate also thought it would be a good idea to start Payday 2 seeing as though 3 is coming out soon… plot twist, it was not a good idea!
