What Games Are You Playing?

As the title says, what games (if any) are keeping you going during these quarantine days? Let's hear a bit about them, might make a good recommendation for someone itching to try something new even. I'll go first;

Borderlands 3: I love FPS games, probably more than other genres. But I grow tired of them quickly, or beat the game and then it's over. BL3 however is keeping me playing still since it's release in Sept last year. The storyline is meh, especially if you played Borderlands 2 (Handsome Jack for President), but they really amped up the graphics, handling and overall pace of the game. If you like crazy action, fun shoot em ups then check this out.

Assassin's Creed - Odyssey: I just beat Origins after maybe a hundred hours so now I'm leaving Egypt for Greece. I hadn't played an AC games since #2 came out way back when but Origins & Odyssey are amazing. They both feel very similar, same engine and mechanics just new setting. But they did make some major improvements for Odyssey. If you haven't played either, dive into Origins first, then Odyssey.

Snowrunner: Holy shit this game might be the most addictive thing ever. It's a truck delivery simulator more or less, driving cargo like wood planks or bricks across a terrain of wet, soft mud roads and wild rivers. You drive trucks, pickups and tractors. You move at maybe 5mph at best. You have to change gears manually, and watch your petrol levels. It sounds lame, but this game is a gem. Honestly, time sinks away while playing. Who would have guessed that a slow paced, truck driving simulator would become my latest obsession.


There are other games but right now these are my main go-to's. What's on your list?

I just got a Switch with a bunch of games so I've been mostly focused on that, but I still turn on the PS4 every once in a while.

Animal Crossing New Horizons - Perfect pick up and play game that's super relaxing. I like how they implemented more challenges and things to do in this one so as to not make it just "do whatever you want but after like an hour there's nothing to do"

Pokemon Sword - I just booted this up yesterday so I haven't even caught anything but man. Walking around a 3D space and having the Pokemon just existing in the envrionment is mind-blowing to me. I'm not a fan of how super easy Pokemon games have gotten but I understand and I'm looking forward to exploring more of the Galar region.

Fire Pro Wrestling World - I got the Deluxe Edition on sale and I've always wanted to check it out, even though I heard it has a steep learning curve. It took me about 2 hours of fucking around and sucking badly at the controls before I got the hang of it. I think the customization and CAW community is super cool even though unfourtunately the "GM" mode is pretty balls.

Binding of Isaac - I've been playing Isaac for a few years now but the insane replayability keeps me coming back. It's a cool throwback to Metroidvania style games where levels, pickups and bosses are randomly generated so no playthroughs are ever the same. I've been putting tons of hours into the Afterbirth DLC and I haven't even checked out Afterbirth+. There's still a 3rd DLC coming out so I'll be playing Isaac for the next damn decade it seems.

I got a Nintendo Switch since last Christmas and still need to get a Xbox one or the new Xbox Series X

Street Fighter 25th Anniversary collection - got to live up to Nostalgic, I always enjoyed Alpha and SF3 series.

Puyo Puyo Tetris - As many people know that i'm huge Puyo Puyo and Tetris fan and i'm killing it online, cause I'm practice chains combos, fusions always screwed me over.

Lately, I've been playing Forza 7 a lot, just a little something to play for about 30 minutes or so.

Outside of that, Yakuza Kiwami 2, and Madden 20.

Recently got back into playing Apex Legends, haven't played since season 1 but since they added the new character I had to check it out. Been picking up some wins but man, It's hard to keep consistency with uncooperative randos combined with my very borderline average skill. Still having a lot of fun though.

I've never tried those free games, Apex or Fortnite or COD. I really should check them out, seeing as I'm a sucker for the FPS genre.

Playing Animal Crossing and the Final Fantasy Remake, both great games, want to play more than I have been.

Revisiting the Yakuza franchise and spin-off. Currently replaying Judge Eyes/Judgement.

PC: League of Legends, MTG: Arena, and Final Fantasy XIV.

PS4: Really just FF7 Remake right now. I was playing Nioh 2 with a buddy of mine until we started playing other things. I also have Horizon and Spiderman that I haven't started yet.

Xbox: Last game I was playing before I stopped playing Xbox as much was Witcher 3. I have so many games for my Xbox, though.

PS4: Fallout 76 / Battlefield 1 / And I suppose I'll get back into Friday the 13th

PC: Sims 4 / Crusader Kings 2 / Hearts of Iron 4
