Iron Danger.
It's an indie tactical RPG that's RTWP similar to other CRPGs. But the main feature of it is being able to rewind time to redo actions if they don't work out, so combat ends up being similar to a puzzle as you rewind and reposition or try new attacks.
The downside is that it's linear, and has no items and very little character progression which are what it's lacking the most compared to a typical CRPG, but it's an interesting take on the style of combat.

I've been playing the original Quake, as well as Deus Ex. I'm not normally a fan of boomer shooters, but Quake has been surprisingly fun and interesting. I realize this might be a complaint for some, but I appreciate the simplified arsenal of weapons. It puts more focus on enemies and the level design, which I appreciate.
Deus Ex is fun, but it hasn't had the moment where it fully clicks for me just yet, like Prey did. I'm still enjoying it, but I'm curious to see if it really grips me like some other immersive sims do.
I went Diablo 4 to Diablo 3 to Last Epoch currently. Pretty fun so far.
TotK. Just finished all the shrines.
Just started Soma, which was on my Gamepass backlog. What an amazing game! Brilliant. And that comes from someone who's not a horror game fan.
Also playing Overwatch 2. Trying to find a group who plays 8-10pm NZT
Little bit of Beyond All Reason, little bit of Battle Bit, and lots of Rocket League and PUBG
The last weeks I played valheim on my own server with some friends. It was so relaxing. But now the newest patch broke all the mods we were using.
So now I play Jak II and wonder how my child self could manage drone of those missions. Damn that game can be hard.
Playing mostly Honkai Star Rail, and I’m in the middle of a Mass Effect trilogy run - quite literally, since I’m halfway through ME2.
Hogwarts Legacy.
I kinda stopped playing since it came out I was so busy with university.
Now that I’m finished I can finally pick it up again!!
Also apex legends on the side. I don’t know what it is about the game but I can’t stop playing it, even though it just pisses me off lol
Anyone else can relate?
Final Fantasy X remake on PS Vita
Hardspace:Shipbreaker, ETS2 and some fs 22
Hotline Miami
Been hard on Diablo 4
and OSRS on the side because the grind never stops!
I'm revisiting the Ratchet & Clank series. I picked up the original 3 games for PS3 at a local game shop, and am trying to 100% all three of them. So far I did so on the 2nd game, and am about to finish that on the 1st game.
I finally upgraded my graphics card to a 4070 Ti, despite the ridiculous pricing (been waiting for over 3 years to upgrade and I've using a GTX 1050 on a 1440p monitor this entire time). Now I'm working through a considerable backlog of GPU-intensive games that I was unable run well or even at all.
Started with God of War and I'm loving it! Next up is Read Dead Redemption 2.
Got Fallout 4 with all the DLC for a steal so I am currently enjoying that. Also Battlebits Remastered on and off again.
Mannnn.... I really want to enjoy battlebits. Looks like it captures the old battlefield 'feel' really well. It's just super unfortunate that they are switching to an anti-cheat service that requires kernel access. Even if it didn't break compatibility with my system, which it will, on principle that's just too much trust given regarding my computer imho.
Detroit become human. I find many PS games that got ported to PC are good. Lots of attention to detail. Although some are hard to get into. Can they ever stop talking for a second in persona 5 strikers so we can game a bit?!?
Souldiers was on sale, and I have been wanting to play the game for a really long time. It got a lot of flack on it's release, because of bugs and performance issues, as well as complaints about difficulty, and class viability.
Well, IDK if the devs had to fix a lot of it or what, but it is in great shape now, and I kinda regret not playing it earlier. This game is fantastic! Great action RPG mechanics, combined with really great encounter design. All set in beautiful pixel art. I think it is kind of a mistake for it to throw you in a hard dungeon right away, and that is turning a lot of people off. But the design of all the encounters had me get through it.
I really like this game, and think the reception it got right off the bat is super unfortunate. I hope the developers aren't discouraged from making something else like this again, and can instead file off the rough edges that made it unpalatable to a large audience. I feel like the quality of the graphics really drew a lot of people in that weren't down for what Souldiers was going for. But it is quickly becoming my favorite metroidvania-ish action platformer RPG.
Satisfactory. Still got to complete that last step. And put trains everywhere. Can't seem to help it.
Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. Still. And probably for the next few months ;)
I got a good deal on Assassin's Creed II and finally figured out how to hook up an x-box controller to my PC (yes, I'm dumb). I never played any of the AC games other than the first one when it originally came out, so I'm excited to get done with work and give it a shot.
I'm playing Satisfactory, there's something really meditative about building an enormous factory on a beautiful world
Detroit become human is great! The universe is incredible
I found it surprisingly nuanced, one of the few games where I will sit through the cutscenes
Ori and the Blind Forest. I like the art a lot.
Tears of the Kingdom, still.
Just finished Tears, so I'm going through a campaign of Kingdom: two crowns for something different. Attempting a no death run.
Diablo 4 (PC) and I'm finally starting the kingdom hearts franchise I got the big pack thing from the PS store so I'm going to play through those.
Death Stranding. Bought it a while back, but wasn't in the mood for a more contemplative/atmospheric game then. Now seems to be a good time to appreciate running errands!
Street Fighter 6 when solo, and DMZ with the boys
Story of Seasons and Two Point Hospital. I've completed the latter on PC before but this is the first time on PS5
Still going on Diablo 4, trying to unlock all map bonuses before the first season starts so my new characters get all the bonuses.
I'm just debating getting a PS5 for FF16 🤔
I'm pretty sure you still have to grind out renown on seasonal characters.
diablo 4 and solasta mainly. still a region to finish in d4 and I wait for season 1
Installed arma 3 and ksp again. So probably DCS
Diablo 4 is my bread and butter right now... with a side of Dredge on my Switch.
Waiting til payday for Final Fantasy XVI. Stuffing my time with Genshin Impact, Pokémon and Final Fantasy XIV!
I'm playing Overboard, it's basically a "How to get away with murder" game. It's very fun !
