I just finished GTA IV on the PS3. For a game that's satirical of America's love of guns and violence, it makes some very poignant statements of war and the bitterness one gets from having to live through it. I still have The Ballad of Gay Tony and Lost & Damned to play through so I'm looking forward to the themes the story has there.

Not Hearts of Iron 4

EDIT: Age of History 3

I picked up Metaphor re: fantazio on the steam sale and it's been pretty fun so far. It's scratching that turn based Japanese itch.

playing fallout 4 again. i already loved it when it had came out, but it is honestly even better than i remember. too many people focus on what the game isn't and completely miss the masterpiece that it is

Never finished Outer Wilds so decided to pick it uo again, start over, and get through it. Such a great game.

I'm playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. I played through the first one and loved it, and I'm loving the second one. A lot of love got put into this and I love medieval history, and the game is long. And hard. But in the way you have to slowly hone your skills and really learn the mechanics. But I kind of enjoy how it's for a slower pace, and I'm really getting my money's worth with this series.

I started playing Ember Knights with some friends after seeing it on the Steam sale on a whim

It was a hit! I spent more time this weekend with this group of friends than I have in quite a while just running through the game.

At $7 and $14 with DLC that seems to double the content, it's very much worth it for a game that's basically couch coop "Hades at home".

It also supports Remote Play Together fwiw, but we've had mediocre luck using it

I'm currently playing "It Takes Two" with my wife. Super fun co-op game!

Playing The Witcher 3 for the first time. I bought the original when it first came out and just never played it. But they went to all the trouble to be super exceptional people and release the remaster for free so now I have to play it.

What the fuck was 10 years ago me thinking? This game is so fucking good.

Control: Resonant

I think I'm 25-30h in and I don't want to put it down. Idk how long it is, but all the Remedy Universe games are such a treat, I don't want it to be over. I'm enjoying the melee-focused combat more than the first game's TPS combat, I think.

Vampire Crawlers

It has been two years since I did a perfection run on Stardew Valley so why not do it again - this time heavily modded with the most downloaded extended mod pack that I customized even further.

I've also tried to play Where Winds Meet but Stardew has my attention nine days out of ten.

Slay the Spire 2. No matter how hard I try to escape, all roads lead back to the spire.

XCOM 2

I think I spent probably 20+ hours playing Control Resonant this weekend. Crazy good game.

Been enjoying Going Medieval for single player, it's the perfect little castle builder fantasy, though building an actual castle takes a very long time when you're still learning the game. But! That incentivises starting out small, feels like you get to see actual historical development rather than just arriving at the big final castle.

Multiplayer it's Big Walk, what an absolute delight! Loving that the intro is so gentle, but there's clearly a lot of depth.

I'm playing Majora's Mask using 2 Ship 2 Harkinian. It's quite nice.

Hollow Knight, but I am taking a break since I just cannot seem to beat the Traitor Lord boss. Every boss before that I managed in a couple tries but this one really beats me. Even got the top nail upgrade now, still hard. I'll get him eventually...

I was reminded that I have a copy of Control (2019) that I hadn't touched, so a couple of weeks ago I started playing it. I was really enjoying it for a few hours, but it started to feel a bit repetitive and I haven't been able to get back to it for a few days.
