    Just bought ratchet and clank rift apart on PC and really enjoying it. Playing in bed on my steam deck has taken over my last few nights

        I wasn’t going to jump on it because I have an enormous game backlog, but buying the bundle (pre-launch), since I already owned the first one, was $25. Money very well spent for this game in my opinion.

    Very little time to play lately, so when I can I do a couple of runs in Dead Cells. Managed to get my friends online last Friday and we had a good session of Deep Rock Galactic. Good fun.

      OMG.

      The feeling when you’ve forgotten one of your favourites from when you were a kid and you read the name and think “that… feels familiar and exciting…” And then Google it to confirm it’s the very game you were hoping it to be!

      Thanks! I’m getting it immediately!!

    I’ve bought all the soulsborne games on release going back to Demons Souls, and I just sucked at them.

    I am finally playing Bloodborne after giving up at the first boss many times over the years, playing co op with my girlfriend, who has beaten them all and platinumed quite a few.

    While I got good enough to beat most of them, except Sekiro, I just couldn’t get the rhythm of Bloodborne, and always gave up, even though I know many people consider it the best in the series.

    Going back to my tried and true method of “Just keep grinding and leveling up till you figure it out” finally worked, I beat the first main boss yesterday (with her as summons).

    Really looking forward to this one as I’ve done a pretty good job of avoiding spoilers.

      I bought it on my daughter’s PS5, and got a few hours in, but then she sold the PS5.

      Might get a chance to try again some day. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I recently fell back into super monkey ball banana mania and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it. Outside of that, it’s been a good rotation of call of duty and the binding of Isaac. If you couldn’t tell, I really love slamming my head against the wall as well

      I’m in the same boat. I’ve mainly been doing logistics. But sometimes I’ll bring up a field gun or tank to use.

    The Hunter: Call Of The Wild. Not as focused of a hunting game as you think. I find it a super chill walking nature simulator with amazing views and animal models.

      I got into this game when RDR2 awakened a need for a good hunting game in me. I really enjoyed my time with it! Looking forward to the fishing one once they iron out most of the issues.

        I wish they were the same game I’d pay twice for it as the Angler forests, ambience and maps are no where near as good as the hunter. Waiting for a need zone? Throw a line out and have a fish.

    Really getting into the God of War on PC. Also, Blizzcon kinda refreshed my hopes in Overwatch, so have been coming back to it, as well

      What about Blizzcon brought hope for you? I remember they actually cut off the world championship livestream halfway through so they could do their presentation instead.

        I’ve never had much hope for eSports anyway, so not that :) But the “what’s next” section had some pretty promising stuff planned for next year. Of course, there’s always chance it could end up like PvE promises, but the new stuff should start coming in only like 2-3 months from now, so I am wait and see.

        I guess it’s not that I full 100% hopeful for OW now, but rather cautiously optimistic - which is still an upgrade over how I used to feel

      I have never owned a PlayStation but played GoW on PC last year and enjoyed every minute of it. It ran great and was a great story and combat system. I can’t wait for ragnarok to come to PC.

    Detroit become human, my PC struggling with it at 1080p. I’m still having a lot of fun though
