Haven't played anything these last several days, save a little bit of Cogmind. I don't really enjoy traditional roguelikes, because there's usually no real incentive to play them (i.e. story, atmosphere, engaging gameplay etc.), and, honestly, I just suck at them lol. But I do keep coming back to that one, because it's just so immersive! And, for some reason, I get Blame! vibes from it; I guess it's because of the whole abandoned facility full of robots thing.
Some other things I'm planning to do:
I dipped back into Civilization 5 again recently. For the first time in a playthrough I asked another civ to go to war with me against another and they actually said "yup let's do it."
We crushed Genghis Khan together. I took his capital, liberated the city states for the alliances/negating warmongering penalties, and left him with a single landlocked city. I warned you not to touch Sydney, you butt.
I'm replaying Baldurs Gate 3 again. Now with even more mods, bringing my total of "nope, can't possibly play without that one" into triple digits 😄
Marvel: Midnight Suns went on sale this week, and is living up to the early positive reviews.
I'm not far enough in to say if it will rival similar games I enjoy, or will replace Final Fantasy Tactics: Advance.
But the early game is fun, and the mechanics feel like they may get better as the learning curve and progress hit full gear.
Edit: And it's already fun, in the early game.
Helldivers 2, Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time (40 hours in currently), Dead Space 2023, and surprisingly Rogue Company.
Been playing Rogue for 2-3 years so I'm pretty damn good at it, which is the reason I keep going back.
