i'll start, i'm playing Devil May Cry 5, i wanted to see what all the fuss was about action/gameplay-wise before starting FF XVI in a few weeks time (which I'm extremely hyped for!).
i'm having a pretty great time with the game so far!

What would you compare DmC5 with? I've always been curious!
DMC5 is a character action game. It's hard to compare to other stuff that isn't Character Action, but other examples would be Bayonetta, God Hand, Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, and Nier Automata. That last one is the least character action IMO because part of what makes CA CA is that you get ranked during combat, which Nier Automata doesn't do - but that also makes it a good start into the genre. I'd also recommend MGR:R for that, it's pretty chill as far as ranking you.
also I'm using "Character Action" as it's the most popular naming convention, but I prefer "Stylish Action." I feel like it captures the vibe more. it's about absolutely styling on your enemies in the coolest ways possible via an open sandbox of tools.
Finally playing Jedi Fallen Order so I can get around to Jedi Survivor, gives time for the latter to get its shit together as well.
I recently found a good Wine wrapper for SWAT4 so I'm gonna be reliving my childhood a bit. Might jump back into Lost Judgment and try to finally beat it before I get sucked into another RGG game.

I recently finished Hardspace: Shipbreaker, which I quite enjoyed, even though dissecting the ships felt a bit tedious towards the end. Now I'm playing Warhammer 40k: Boltgun, and it's amazing if you're into dakka and bloody gore-explosions.
Another replay of Shadow of the Colossus and also started Zelda 2 on NES. SOTC is always a favorite. Zelda 2 I'm a bit iffy on after really enjoying the original, but I'm still early. The stark change in style and gameplay direction threw me off in the beginning but I'm hoping to adjust.
Although, this week it's been hard for me to find time to play anything.
Got back into Celeste recently, managed to beat the final level and am now working my way through the Strawberry Jam mod.
Such a good game and mod!
Just finished Chained Echoes so I'm a bit free from active games. Might pick back up Disgea 6, and I thought loop hero looked interesting
Civ 5...I have a habit of not actually finishing a game, so I'm trying to push myself through a complete game.
AC Valhalla. Got it on PS4 during the last sale and it's honestly one of the best ACs in recent years. I liked Origins but never got on with Odyssey.

Bouncing between a few games right now. Playing a couple of gacha games on my phone, Apex and Mortal Kombat 11 on Xbox, and getting into Age of Wonders 4 on the steam deck.
As I'm getting older, I'm finding it harder and harder to keep up with my gaming habits. Too many games and not enough time nowadays...

I absolutely feel this. I don't have nearly as much time as I used to to actually sit down at my PC and sink hours into something. Unfortunately I don't enjoy many mobile games though, except maybe for OldSchool Runescape.
At least we still have fond memories!

Basically rotate between diablo 3, brawlstars, and a random word finding game that i forgot the name of.
destiny 2, there are no other videogames.
This may not be the best place to post this, but for lack of a designated community I think this is appropriate :)
I've gotten way into Pathfinder 2e recently, been mucking about with the rulebooks and building a homebrew setting. It's been a lot of fun thus far, the system is crunchy but sensible.
I absolutely love 2e. It's an incredible system! I'm GMing tomorrow night, and had a nice game last night. It's great stuff. I've been reading through a starfinder AP for a game I suspect I'll start in a year or so. That system isn't anywhere as well refined, but it's still fun in it's own right.
Dota 2! But then again, I've been playing that for nearly a decade at this point....

Tears of the Kingdom has also sucked me in. It's not quite a 10/10 for me, and in some ways I think looking back I slightly prefer the more austere and "pure" BotW, but the new temples, abilities and shrines are really fun. Great game.

Tears of the Kingdom. I was originally worried about the weapon system. But I’ve been having so much fun exploring that I hardly care about that.
Just finished up Wall World. Looking for my next hook. Probably gonna play more Rogue Legacy 2 as it's absolutely beautiful and fantastic!
Star Rail is my togo game right now !
I was not a fan of turn based jrpgs before but this game is winning me over with great writing, actually fun gameplay and suprisingly alright gacha implementation (got my team up with 20$ which is a fair deal!)
I'm on world 2 in the story and there's just so much to do in this game I only wish it supported a controller on Android/iOS.

Been playing a moderately modded MechWarrior 5. The game just isn't as fun without the Clans and their cool technology, so I added the “Yet Another Clan Mech” mod which adds them, but now the game gets crashy whenever any Clan 'Mechs show up. Dunno why. Hoping for another MechWarrior game some time soon.
It's not really the same thing, but I've been excitedly following the news for armored core 6. Been so long since there was a new installment! I played the crap our of the PS1/PS2 releases
Modded Minecraft. Volcano block is a great modpack.
I just started Death Stranding on my Steam Deck.
Played Warhammer 3 with a friend last weekend. We did Chaos factions (I was chaos dwarves and he was one of the Daemons of Chaos). It was a pretty good time. Also do a little world of warships legends with some friends on Xbox. The last game I beat was the Metroid Prime remaster.
My hope is whenever I find the time I want to play:
Jedi Survivor
Tears of the Kingdom
System Shock
Diablo 4
Hogwarts Legacy
But I just am so busy with house hunting, work, and some personal stuff it's hard to find time to play lately.
Hey I play Warhammer 3 too! High Elves my bae.

I bought Gris after the Neva reveal trailer. It's truly one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, and the score is just as noteworthy.

Speedrunning Tears of the Kingdom. The community for that is a bit over-focused on any% in my opinion, but exploring master sword rta route options has been really fun. MSRTA starts at new game, ends at getting the master sword. First known run of the category was 2:10:36 which means sub-2 should come fairly easily. For comparison, 2:30 was a goal time for master sword rta in Breath of the Wild for quite a while.
Also sometimes working on my casual file for it, I haven't quite finished all the quests yet.
Darktide. New map drops today. Gotta smash 'em heretics.
Timberborn. Need to get my hydro engineering on!
Going to be playing V Rising tomorrow with some friends. I've never played it, but they are excited about some content that dropped recently. I'm looking forward to it!
Hoping to hop back into the updated Vision Jet in MS Flight Sim
Tears of the Kingdom and my usual, Team Fortress 2.
How's tears?
Story sucks. Everything else doesn't. Luckily Nintendo knew this was coming and made the B button able to skip a lot of dialogue. Too bad most of the cutscenes aren't skippable unless they repeat.
