I primarily mean video games. However, if you’ve played some kind of interesting table top or card game I’d like to hear about that too! I’ve been replaying the Witcher 3 lately.
Tabletop ?
Alice is missing is a must play if you’re into Narrative RPG, but currently playing a Coriolis campaign, the popular space RPG by free league
Finally got around to playing Devotion by Red Candle Games. It’s a super good horror game, but without getting into spoilers, I absolutely would NOT recommend this to parents, holy shit. Shame that the CCP bombed this game into obscurity, the devs did not deserve this.
just picked up fallout 4 goty
works beautifully (for me, ~40 fps) with ultra settings @1440p on my thinkpad with igpu :)
I picked up a thing that just now came out of early access, called The Farmer Has Been Replaced(). It’s a Python coding game, you’re given a grid-based farm and a drone that runs Python code you write for it to plant, water, harvest etc. crops. It’s a decent little coding exercise, not the worst way to learn Python.
I picked up Icewind Dale again. It’s one of my comfort games, along with several of the other Infinity Engine games. Still holds up.
Something always steals my attention away anytime I try and start that one up.
Someday.
To be fair, it’s not terribly engaging (compared to the other games in the series). But if you’re into dungeon crawls, it’s fun.
King’s Reign has been fun, deck builder Roguelike where you play soldier cards and they combo while marching left to right along a board with three lanes.
Beyond all reason: it’s open source, it’s awesome, large explosions, it uses all of your cores, you can contribute to it, and join in progress.
100%'d Silksong, my game of the decade so far.

You don’t have to be a OSRS fan to like it. It’s just a solid open world rpg sandbox with dopamine infused achievements.
I think I’m about halfway through Stray and love every minute.
I’ve also been playing Pokemon Emerald: Seaglass as a really gorgeous re-imagining of Emerald.
For video games, I just beat silksong, which was super fun and pretty brutal. The art and music is phenomenal though, it’s a great game. Working on Hades 2 right now, which is also fantastic and I’d recommend.
For board games I’ve been getting my group into the Heroes 3 board game. It’s the biggest box I’ve ever seen for a game lol. It does a great job of feeling like the computer game while meeting the constraints of a board game, plus there’s lots of bits to fiddle with. Downside is its huge, so you need a big table or a group comfortable playing on the floor.
I literally just finished the 3D remake of Final Fantasy 3 (PC version) before coming here. After I’m done here, I’m going to start playing Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe.
I also somewhat recently finished the original PC version of Doom 3 and it’s expansion pack. I understand why people don’t like it as much as Doom 1 and 2 but I still think the game was good.
I’m playing through an old PS2 title Radiata Stories. I don’t get why this title is so overlooked! It’s really fucking funny to play in 2025 cause its weirdly apt with nepotism, classism and going to war over wage theft (kinda, anyway).
I don’t wanna spoil it though.
I just booted up my Project Ozone 3 Minecraft server again. Thats fun. Sword of the Sea is also great, recent release by Giant Squid.
I’ve been playing only retro games lately and I just finished Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for a second time yesterday. Now I’m continuing playing the Fatal Frame saga on my ps2.
