    Since it came out in the last week of August, I don’t think I’ve touched any game other than Age of Mythology. It’s just that perfect balance of being an excellent game in its own right and also absolutely nailing the nostalgia for me.

    Pentiment. Had me gripped more than any game I’ve played recently. Such a great aesthetic, and the rich history it weaves is compelling

    Sudoku all the time. It’s the perfect tool for waiting 7 minutes. I bought the app “Enjoy Sudoku” many years ago and it is my most played game ever.

    What a question. Last month I dusted off the PS4 for a month of PS Plus, playing the first 2 Uncharted games and trying a few other games - Far Cry 6 and Assetto Corsa were good enough to buy on PC later.

    As of yesterday I’m back on the PC playing M&B 2 Bannerlord.

    Lately I’ve been playing Roboquest, an indie arena shooter about halfway through the progression system, and Octopath Traveler 2, a jrpg with great music and some battle mechanics that make turn based combat more interesting (5 battle points per character that charge per turn to boost abilities, defense breaks/weak points, and buff/debuff counters).

    Mud Runners. Surprisingly a good game if you like mishaps that provide challenges. The soft terrain physics are fun just to watch as your truck plows through, too.

    Morrowind. But i beat it w the dlcs few days ago so might replay oblivion before replaying morrowind with mods. I got tamriel rebuilt tho to see a glimpse of what theyve built and the sheer size of the map is jawdropping.

    Got Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom last night and absolutely had a blast. It’s like a collect-a-thon style game where you play as a living taxi who has to collect green gears to stop Alien Mosk and his oil.

    I also got around to an updated version of Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate. It’s chess, but you are a single chess king piece with a shotgun vs various other pieces on the other side who normally can only move normally. Beat the enemy king and get a card to buff you, and your opponents. Simple gameplay.

      I dunno a lot about ghost of Tsushima, but I’ve always thought it looks interesting, and very beautiful.

        It’s an open world action game, and the story is very good! The writing is so good that I played the DLC in the middle of the game and didn’t realize it until the end (bought about a year out of release) . It’s that cohesive. It’s one of those games that you can just lose yourself in. There’s fast travel, but the landscape is so inviting. I also think the fighting is really well done. The way they integrate fighting styles and the story telling is too notch. Maybe look up a play through and see if it’s your jam. I hope it is!
