Abiotic Factor - I'm close to reaching the end
I'm still looking for a game for the weekend. I'm thinking of something with exploration, management and maybe first-person.

In between playing Infamous: Second Son and Super Mario 64...just playing SM64 for giggles.
Vermintide 2 (modified L4D2 in Warhammer: Fantasy), since one kind soul on Lemmy said it now works on Linux too. I've missed a lot of new content and I don't even know where to go most of the times like I just started it. I became kinda rusty since I switched systems, but playing on lower difficulties feels fun too. An hour of runs per evening is where I am at. As I don't have anything tp grind there anymore as I did it all before, I've learnt to smile while loosing in some hilarious ways, and some of these failures make me cackling for a long while.
I actually try to play less, phone less and focus more on drawing, journaling and touching grass
But I finished expedition 33 recently and before that I played some crusader kings 3 lotr mod
E33 turned out to be really long game and I wanted to finish it asap to see what happens. That resulted in a few days or so of a marathon that has physically and mentally exhausted me
I could not sleep at the last day after I went through the ending at all because I was tortured by crying fits
Now I remember that hugging moment even now I get sad immediately and it all just leaks out of my eyes so yeah. I am resting

Bro. You can't do that. No one can handle that much feels in such a short span.
OP: WITNESS ME!
I was even leveraging weed so that I am not stoned too much to get less immersion but just right to maximise the feelings.
I love I love I love when games hit me in the feels hard as truck. Just hit me you know… well
Great experience, I felt utterly broken. Would play again
Have you played A Plague Tale? It's much shorter but also pretty emotional.
I have a serious deficiencies in emotional games played considering I only acquired such taste playing Honkai star rail penacony a year ago. Or rather arcane s1 tv series before.
Gladly taking the recommendation and open to any other
The most emotional game I played was To the Moon. It's kind of like a jrpg walking simulator with some puzzles and light gameplay in it but a fantastic story.
The developer has made quite a few games in the series now but none hit quite as hard as the first in my opinion.
I highly recommend going in blind. Innocence is first, followed by Requiem. Innocence has been free on epic a few times so you might already own it.
Pour one out for a fallen gamer
I’ve also been playing Nightreign and having an absolute blast. I did manage to beat Gladius with a couple of randos early on, but nothing since then. I’ve been trying to help my friend clear that first hurdle, but no luck so far.

I recently finished Horizon Forbidden West and immediately started Oblivion Remastered. It’s just as good as I remember it and I’m enjoying exploring Cyrodiil all over again.
Final Fantasy Tactics on my RG34XX and Repo almost nightly with the buds
Have you bard-monked your way to high levels yet?
I'm still in the early stages in my current playthrough. I've not yet caught up to the intro
Moonstone Island at the moment. And Baldurs Gate 3 because cross-play finally lets me party up with my husband.
Elden ring nightreign. I've beaten 3 nightlords with randoms.
Hey! Quit stealing my ideas!
Just kidding. Looking forward to see where this goes.
(Not sure if you actually stole it but I’ve been doing it in !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works for a while now)
Ope sorry! Didn't mean to step on any toes, just hadn't seen one pop up since I left Reddit!

Bit of warframe, a lot of deeprock and some stellaris when I have that much free time.
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Really good game but some of travel is rough. Fast travel is very limited. Good combat and I like the pawn system.
Its been awhile since I've played, but you should get a few Portcrystals around mid-game, and combined with the eternal ferrystone will help traveling around significantly.

I'm finding it hard to stick to one game in particular these past few days (weeks?).
I've been going back to my play through of Divinity: Original Sin 2 and I find the story is getting somewhat less interesting after reaching the second to last act/location (and fights are less challenging now, which isn't as fun imo).
I've also been playing a bit of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and it's more appealing than I anticipated - I'm just annoyed by recurring shader comp and loading stutters on PC...
I'm kind of in the mood for a shorter game, but my backlog is far too dense to pick anything easily.
If you want Star Wars with actual saber combat, try the old Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy games. Neither should be too long, but I think JA is easier overall, as levels tend to be pretty straightforward and you start as padawan with a saber. Fighting against multiplayer bots in both games can be fun, too.
Space Engineers. I set up a server for me and my friends with a few mods.
So far, we have an undefended asteroid with a ton of resources and production capabilities. It was attacked recently by a small pirate ship but I fought it off.
I'm in the process of making a large nomad ship - a mobile base.
Starting up a new run in Vintage Story (with mods!) while on a break from Ender Magnolia. Landed on the the mother of all starter zones. Might just make it to endgme this time :)

I've played a bunch of Monster Train 2 which is great. A really novel interpretation of the Slay the Spire format. It also has some great qol and mechanical improvements over the first. Highly recommend if you're into that sort of thing.
Medieval Dynasty: New Settlement in VR. It’s quite good, though a bit glitchy here and there. Finished the main quest line and am now running my tavern whilst waiting for my baby to be born.
I've been trying out the Half Sword demo recently and yep, it's medieval combat QWOP. Very fun tho, in spite of my poor framerate.
Other than that I've been setting up maps and stuff for a DND one shot I've been planning to run. Will be fun to see how that pans out.
So, I'm thinking of starting, for the third time, Witcher 3. I liked it the second time I tried it but there was something, off about the game.... I think it's time for another try at it.
I love CDPR, I have enjoyed Witcher 1,2, and Cyberpunk 2077 is my most played game of the decade at a solid 1000 hours.
I have bounced off Witcher 3 no less than three times and i still dread going back to it. The entire opening up to the griffin is such an openworld slog that by the time i get to the empire I am burnt out and don't want to continue.
And this sucks because I've heard just how good the DLC is
Ffxiv since the relic weapon stuff is out. Getting pretty far in that grind.
Also replaying symphony of the night. Just been in the mood for it. Haven't really been playing anything new lately. Deltarune chapter 3 & 4 are out and I'll start playing them tonight, but I'm at work for the time being sadly.
Deadlock, and too much of it at that.
In PoE 1 new league waiting room (at last!), drops 6/13
Just started playing Splitgate 2! Didn't really pay too much attention when it got announced, but I saw it was live last night and gave it a try.
As a long time Halo/Arena Shooter fan, this game really scratches a certain itch. The gameplay is crisp, the art direction is fun, and I had a blast. Now I just need to get better at using my portals in game...
Something that stood out to me is that the install (at least on Xbox) was only 17gb! After so many gigantic games, it's nice to have one with a manageable file size.
I finished my second playthrough of Drova - Forsaken Kin (wanted to see both of the camps + experience the new content added with the last patch) somewhat recently and it gave me the itch to go back and replay the first two games from the Gothic series. I'm already done with Night of the Raven and making my way through the first game now. Getting them to run smoothly on Linux was a bit of a process but other than that they still hold up incredibly well, at least in my incredibly biased view.

Playing Core Keeper with no wiki. Having a blast, didn’t realize how much content the game has now. I need to play without a wiki more often. Much more fun.
Just got back on PlanetCrafter with my mate.
We are having a blast on the Moons update !
I actually went back to give star citizen a shot since they added these "flight school" type missions that actually pay pretty well. It's a chill experience to just pop on after work and do like 6-8 of them since they only take a few minutes each and then log off.
Other than that I found this game hard time 3 that is absolutely unhinged madness. It's a janky messy game, but it's fun chaos to mess with for a bit. It's free on mobile, but I bought it on steam. It already has a horrendous camera and dealing with that on mobile is just asking for an aneurysm.
