Manor Lords. Have only started on it but it seems the hype is well justified. Added bonus is that it also gives me Amiga vibes, what with being something in between Settlers and Lords of The Realm and having a lone dev, amazing gfx for a strategy game, fresh approach, etc.

Currently very much enjoying Tears of the Kingdom on the rare occasion I get time to play games. Occasionally dip into Elite Dangerous, Flight Simulator and Train Simulator too.

That's the prime example of a worthwhile early access title - the dev really engages with the players. Inspiring really.

Agreed. But it's definitely "early" access - one of my villagers is named "C**tz"

Just 'played' 15 minutes of the 2013 Tomb Raider. Holy QTE Batman! They went all 'immersive' and forgot about the 'playing a game' part it seems. Not for me.

i liked the first 'level' into Rise of the Tomb Raider, but after that the game change in a different not TR style

i would like to see that T2 fan-remake (Dagger of Xian) completed at some point, i really enjoyed that one, much more than the new official ones

Started playing Death Stranding yesterday. I haven't played any game by Hideo Kojima, so this is a very interesting experience so far. Pretty confusing, but interesting

Edit: And that's it for me. The story is interesting, but the delivery boy system is not. The whole 'press like' mechanic is... I don't even know what it is, but it feels wrong.

Yep. I invested a good 20 hours of my time into that game and was still doing exactly the same thing, but more cumbersome. Eventually you get vehicles, but... ugh.

One of those games where people keep saying "but it gets better later!". Well then I'll wait for the re-remaster where the first 60 hours of the game are cut out.

Oblivion. Again.

I can't help it. I see something on Youtube, I get the itch. So when you are signed up to a channel like Wilburgur whom absolutely wrecks Oblivion with the most insane mods imaginable... I have to partake.

Heavily modded Skyrim. Just modding, hardly playing it!
Tomb Raider Legend
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive (worst combat control system in a game ever. Probably)
Rogue Declan

Played Yakuza 0 and want to get into the series, starting with Kiwami, but seems like it's a giant rabbit hole so might avoid!

Not even original Metal Gear or later Solid?


I played them, but not when they cam out, but bit later. Too bad Policenauts never got released in English or on Amiga. That might be something we might be interested in.... (graphic adventure)

Death Stranding I installed more than once, but never managed to start playing.

Still playing Dyson Sphere program, exploring galaxy...

I played Snatcher for the MegaCD, but I only watched people playing Metal Gear (Solid) a couple of times.

Pools, a strange maze game

atmospheric, it is remembering some Myst or The Cube movie sensations to me
