The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.

    Baldur’s Gate 3, four playthroughs back to back, two of em multiplayer. I still play it every now and then when I want to continue my honor run.

    Besides that, Rimworld. Nearly 4k hours.

        Not yet! Waiting on a friend, we’re doing an all-barbarians playthrough, so we were thinking halflings. It’ll probably get very messy.

          All-Barbarians is a classic! Maxing out strength and putting zero effort on mental traits was my favorite playthrough on Fallout games.

          Not sure of if that’s what it means though, but playing as a group of massive angry toddlers sounds like a grand time.

    I’m still playing Starfield. I’m 120% the targeted audience. It helped me go through depression.

    I’m a 45 years old dude, and I started creating a comic with my character in Starfield, by taking screenshots and adding speech bubbles with Figma. I didn’t know I had it in me.

    As far as I’m concerned, Starfield is self-care.

    I am utterly shellshocked by how much I’m enjoying Helldivers 2. It’s been a very long time since I’ve daydreamed about going home to play but I just can’t wait to blast some bugs with friends most days. It’s like I’m 10 again

      I got so hooked on Factorio for years that after trying Satisfactory for a few hours I had to stop since I had things to do in the next year and a half. One day I hope I’ll have time to give it a real shot.

        yeah that is a good idea I have almost 1000 hours in satisfactory and have a real problem of telling myself I will go to bed after I finish this production line then I blink and it’s 4am.

      I just got it. Beat my first red deck run, but it has yet to really sink its hooks into me. I’d be curious to hear what makes it work for you.

        I couldn’t say why it got me so hooked. I like roguelikes/rogue-lites as well as deckbuilders, and I think it hits a really good balance of the things that make them fun - challenge, randomness, a variety of strategies that can make different runs feel very different. Also good achievements and unlockables.

    Completely hooked on would be Dark Souls 3. Right now I’m playing The Witcher 3, and while it’s good, it makes me want to boot up DS3 - less talking more fighting

      DS3 is my favorite. I have to fight the urge to play it again fairly regularly. It’s an oddly soothing game to play.

    Dragons Dogma 2

    • story: garbage
    • storytelling: garbage
    • performance: garbage
    • CAPCOM: garbage

    But I tell you what, the world, exploration and gameplay they’ve put together, it’s all A+.

    Currently Horizon: Forbidden West. So glad the PC port only took 2 years this time around rather than 5 for the first one (or however long it was)

    Probably WoW tbh. I don’t play anymore and don’t recommend it, but WoW with friends/guildies at its peak is unparalleled. You can’t wait to log on and reconnect with everyone.

    Few games have captured my attention like XCom2, and it’s last expansion.

    I often find myself playing something new while also wishing it was XCOM 2…
