What are you all playing? I've been trying out the slay the spire downfall mod a bit. Got some wins with the new characters. A lot of fun!

I finally started Horizon: Forbidden West - gameplay changes compared to HZD keep trickling in and I couldn't be happier. I love Aloy's character so I'm really happy to be in her shoes again.

This past week was pretty disappointing before that:

Hellblade II was good, but nowhere near as impactful as the first one for me. I'm left with a sour taste overall, although I'll admit they did a tremendous job with cinematography and character rendering.
Stellar Blade was insipid. Whatever could save it in my book - its gameplay - turns out stale pretty quickly, so I ended up abandoning the game midway. The story and characters were really uninteresting imo, couple that with how EVE is represented... I couldn't really find any redeeming qualities.

Horizon Zero Dawn is amazing, gameplay and story.

I'm working my way through forbidden west as well. I'm really enjoying it. It's always good to spend more time in an interesting game world. I really appreciate the more free form climbing system in this one, not quite breath of the wild climbing but way better than grab the yellow ledges only.

Absolutely! You could sort of "cheese" your way into climbing some parts of the world of Zero Dawn, but Forbidden West's climbing is much improved - to the point that I've been getting sidetracked a number of times already just exploring and getting to great vistas.

I started it as well. Had weird sound issues that I had to fix by downgrading my system sample rate. It looks and feels amazing now that it works.
