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.
Have you yet done the “all gnomes” playthrough?
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.
That’s deep rock Galactic and star trek for me, whenever I’m bringing those 2 then times are tough.
I really enjoyed that game, despite its faults, and despite the loud folks yelling about how it was the worst game ever. I put around 150 hours into it.
Awesome. I’m way past 500. Not sure, I don’t check much.
Ive been playing a lot of read dead redemption lately.
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 keep seeing so much about it, I really need to give it a shot.
If by “were” you mean “are”, then Balatro.
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.
FacCracktoriosatisfactory on my 8th full playthrough and the game is not even 1.0 yet
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.
Currently hooked on Factorio.
Before that, Baldur’s Gate 3.
Before that, Factorio.
Factorio is eternal.
Can’t wait to play the new extension.
Haven’t touched Factorio in ages. Really looking forward to diving back in with the Space Age expansion!
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+.
Outer Wilds
A wonderful game, still need to go back and do the dlc at some point.
I loved the game, and actually loved the DLC even more
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…
If you haven’t played Phoenix Point yet put that on deck.
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.
Noita - for the longest time the addiction was something along the lines of not letting this ‘simple’ game beat me, and damn does it beat you…
Then I finally had my first God run breaking the reroll machines and oh my fuck it’s like crack. I’ve been chasing that dragon ever since.
