    Stardew Valley, the 1.6 update adds lots of small new content in all the right places to really take the game to the experience I imagine ConcernedApe always wanted it to be. This is something like my 10th playthrough and it’s easily my favorite one since the 1st.

    Whenever it comes out, I’m so excited for Haunted Chocolatier.

        It’s been frustratingly difficult so far lol. Which is fine, I like a bit of challenge.

          I find that while the difficulty is there, its extremely forgiving in that you can create save points effectively at will so it doesn’t feel like too much of a chore most of the time

            I stumbled on some forums where people were saying the tree/water escape took them an hour. That took maybe 5 minutes of trying for me. My biggest opponent was just a regular wall and trying to wall jump up it for an hour. I love how different things are varying difficulty for people.

      I’m about to start Witcher 3 for the first time on my next days off work. Picked it up on a really good sale a couple weeks ago, but have been too engrossed with Helldivers 2 lately to actually start playing it.

        You are in for a massive adventure! I’m considering doing a New Game+ with a crossbow build, but need some time to unwind after nearly 200 hours on the first playthrough.

    I finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth a couple days ago after about 110 hours, what a journey!

    I’m currently playing a few shmups since I just purchased a (very cheap but perfectly adequate) arcade stick, easy modes for now and “moving up the chain”:

    • DoDonPachi Resurrection
    • ESP Ra De
    • Espgaluda II
    • Radiant Silvergun

    After that, I’ll probably pick Cyberpunk 2077 back up (only 10 hours in from the free trial a few weeks ago).

        Enjoy! Remake is really great and I’ve heard it runs like a charm on pretty much any recent handheld

    Just finished Chants of Sennaar. Great game, highly recommend for people who liked Outer Wilds or Return of the Obra Dinn.

    Now I’m trying out the new RimWorld Anomaly expansion.

    Still playing Horizon Forbidden West. I’m close to exploring everything of the base game map. Once I’m done with that, I’ll focus on the rest of the side quests and finally the main story.

    Finally finished out Diablo 4: Season 3, again after finding a group to tag along with to fight Duriel. I am very glad Diablo 4 doesn’t make you complete every objective to get rewards and move on to the next chapter like 3 does, otherwise I’d have to deal with FOMO. Speaking of Diablo 3…

    Diablo 3: Season 31 started last week, so I’ve shifted my Diablo focus to that. I’m going with a witch doctor build this round, and have already made my way through chapter 3.

    Still working on Lies of P. I’ve been replaying earlier sections in order to level up some more, because fuck the King of Puppets and it being a two part fight. I just got into the weapon assembly aspect, so I’ve been playing around with different builds to see what works for me. And I think this game is teaching me button control and strategy? I’m used to panicky button mashing, but I’ve quickly learned I cannot do that here. Still, I’m happy with what little progress I’ve made this week.

    Hardspace: Shipbreaker. Loving this leisurely playthrough with O2 drain turned off. Just scrapping ships little by little and trying to do it just right.

    After 110 hours I’m still playing Dragon’s Dogma 2, but am starting to be ready to move on to something else.

    I’ve barely explored the third major zone in the game. There is a metric ton of content for people who like exploring in games.

    Definitely a good value for the money.

    Finished the Fallout TV series, so got a hankering to explore those worlds. Decided to start at Fallout 3, level up, then visit all the vaults. We’ll see if how far I make it before losing interest. Also might dona co-play of 1 and 2 with my partner (I control but she makes the decisions). She never played them and it would be great to show her how they have changed.

    I’m playing through New Vegas right now after watching the Fallout show. I forgot how fun the game was; I haven’t played it in over a year.

    GTA 4. Currently playing TBoGT. I somehow forgot how cool the DLCs were. I’m quite impressed by Luis and the side content added in the DLC. If you squint enough parts of TBoGT already feel a bit like GTA 5. Luis also mentions vice city so I wonder if we’ll see him in GTA 6.

    I recently played through Miles Morales twice and decided to play the previous Spiderman game. Still having fun, but I’m trying to get to the sections with Miles (he’s my personal favorite). It’s interesting to see the kinds of side quests and mini games they chose to keep in retrospect.
