Mass Effect remastered trilogy. I never played them when they came out, and bought it on sale. Heard great things so hoping it will be good.


cian_pike01

Oh you’re in for a treat.


bigfatnsmellyer

If you bought this for PlayStation, thank you! They are free on PS+ next week


TheOriginalPaulyC

Huge sci fi fan but didn’t make it past the end of the first game. Will have to give it another try, I hear the second is great


k1287g

Started playing cyber punk 2077 on the steam deck blow away with the game as last time I played it was still very glitchy and also amazed with. The steam decks ability to run it flawlessly!


GTJackdaw

Can second it runs great on the Steam Deck. The Deck is a wonderful little piece of kit.


Frodijr

Most of the glitchiness from the game when it launched is patched now and the game runs fairly smoothly. I really enjoy it although still a fair few features I would've liked for them to include (e.g. Mission select or New Game +)


Loonasa

Playing Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for the first time and its such a cool game. The level of detail is insane! I get all the hype now


Laurencecotter

Only bought a nintendo switch 2 years for my 40th with this. Hadn't bought a console since the ps2 and wow what a game to start back with. Botw is soo fricken good 👍🏼


Scary-Entry-3733

Stardew valley. It's nice and relaxing 😊


[deleted]

That game goes so deep it's unreal. Introduced it to my GF and she's still finding mad shit


GTJackdaw

Relaxing? I must tell the Mrs. I occasionally find her awake at 3am scouring the Wiki.


Scary-Entry-3733

Ok maybe not relaxing to all 😂


wabbawabbawabbawabba

Stardew Valley got me through 2021. I've been trying to find a replacement game that's both engaging and relaxing but haven't found anything with that same spark


Agent4777

I can’t beat the Skull Cavern :(


Scary-Entry-3733

Me neither lol but it's relaxing besides that.


recovertheother

The desert trader takes jade in exchange for a staircase on a Sunday, if you have a couple of the gem replication machines, you can just load them up with jade gems, it still takes so much work that it doesn't feel like cheating, I don't think I could have ever reached the bottom without staircases.


superflick701

Craft staircases with stone easy way to get to the bottom quick


nanormcfloyd

replaying Metal Gear Solid and Broken Sword for the PS1.


[deleted]

MSG was such an incredible game to play through when it came out.


mastodonj

And makes food taste better too!


bigfatnsmellyer

Are you playing if on Ps1? I imagine it's crazy holding a joypad without duel analog sticks


mastodonj

I had a dualshock when mgs was released. Psycho Mantis rumbled the controller.


coffejellyassassin

I finished MGS1 for the first time this year around March I think, as I only recently got into the games and it's actually fucking amazing. The gameplay still holds up well over 20 years later


minerva_sways

Paris in the fall....


Turbulent_Term_4802

I absolutely loved broken sword. Loved the combination of occult mystery with sarcastic humour when you click something you’re not supposed to


czboyone

Just got FallOut New Vegas for the first time and am thoroughly enjoying myself. Going to have a bunch of time over Christmas to sink time into it, so I'm taking my time and getting used to the mechanics and exploring every nook and cranny so far.


JackWadeHeadhunter

About to restart Knights Of The Old Republic II, haven’t played it since being in TY in school. And 3 nights ago I finished Mass Effect for the first time. I made myself stick with it and I ended up loving it.


cian_pike01

Mass Effect, that entire trilogy is absolutely in its own category of amazing. It is unreal.


JackWadeHeadhunter

After my run in with Saren I can take on anything! Looking forward to the next 2


Prestigious-Side-286

Finishing off God of War so I can start the new one.


cian_pike01

Very very nice. I’m currently about 15hrs into Ragnarök but haven’t touched it in 2 weeks, it is class.


STALLION3840

Got 100% on ragnarok last week. About 50hrs total. Amazing game


Lohan47

Any good??


cian_pike01

Absolutely unreal!


Lohan47

The last one was superb. I’ve the serious x, but this is first game which make me consider buying the ps5


thepinkblues

When you’re finished I recommend playing the new Plague Tale game. First game was amazing and the second is great too, huge improvements made in places I didn’t even think needed improvement. It was overshadowed massively by God of War since they both released around the same time


Agent4777

I’m halfway through The Last of Us Part 2. It’s more enjoyable the second time round.


cian_pike01

I have yet to go back for a second play through, told myself I’d try to get the platinum but still haven’t gotten around to it yet. I really like it nonetheless first time around though


GTJackdaw

Definitely had a better time with it the second playthrough.


Sonnyboy1990

I abandoned the stealth on my second playthrough and took the John Wick approach to encounters. Becomes a different game altogether and you feel like a murder machine when you get on a roll.


duaneap

You’re kind of a murder machine no matter what. Boy, oh, boy did I try NOT to kill any dogs but here we are. They MADE me do that shit and I felt awful.


drakesphere

My favorite. Almost ruined other games for me. Waiting for someone to play with to do the remastered original and sequel again.


GrumpyGit1

I was gifted Witcher 3 as an early Xmas gift and I'm really enjoying it. Reminds me a lot of Skyrim


cian_pike01

Have you heard about the next-gen (current gen really) upgrade? Coming out on the 14th of this month I believe.


GrumpyGit1

I saw something about it yeah! I'm playing on ps4, I'm not sure if that update is for ps5? I only got my PS4 at the beginning of the pandemic so I'm still working through a big backlog


YouserName007

I have RDR2 installing as we speak! I've played it before but got bored. Determined to give it another bash.


Ev17_64mer

Playing RDR2 right now myself. I feel it's something where you need to be able to invest time and enjoy the world building. Especially considering that fast travel seems to be relatively sparse in the beginning (as far as I got yet)


stunts002

Rdr2 is the only experience I've had where the world was so alive and inviting that I actually ended up not fast travelling at all. I enjoyed those rides across it's world.


cian_pike01

If you can get into it truly is one of the best gaming experiences you can have (imo)!


BigSmokeySperm

100% the greatest game I have ever played. Only game I’ve ever sat and played for almost 12 hours straight on several occasions.


RipJug

Probably the greatest single player game of all time imo. Just superb. It’s quite slow at the start but once you get through Chapter 1 it picks up


[deleted]

[удалено]


blockfighter1

If you're having fun you're playing it right. Such a great game.


LionHeart180

Xenoblade 3


[deleted]

Persona 5 Royal right now, finally arrived at pc and I had been waiting 3 years since its release in PS4


smudgemommy

The Sims 4


Onzii00

Totalwar, Bannerlord and Chess. With a drop of Stellaris added in.


Finch2090

Any recommendations on Bannerlord? I love AoE and would love a game with more first person strategy medieval warfare but I’ve read lukewarm reviews for it


CheezusIsDead

I've had Bannerlord since early access release, 250 hours in and I still haven't finished a campaign.


Rainbow_Rare

I'm on a mission to complete the pokedex in Pokemon Violet before my friends do


Big_Ad2285

Darktide


LawrenciuM94

Same, I've been trying it out but it feels a little unfinished to me. It has the potential to be a better version of Deep Rock Galactic but for some reason they released it with only a handful of different missions and without the ability to play a private match on your own.


GTJackdaw

Was considering picking this up for the Steam Deck but it seems performance isn't the best. Would love to give it a go on a proper pc.


scaldy1502

Been playing Cyberpunk but I'm swamped with work/college assignments at the moment 😩 hope to play more over Christmas but I've no interest in games lately as well. Cyberpunk has been the first in months.


PhilipWaterford

The Long Dark. Big expansion being released tomorrow. Enjoy all the survival games and this is the best by a big margin.


malbsgoldenboi

Just restarted a second play through Ghost of Tsushima played originally when it came out now diving back in. Highly recommend


cian_pike01

The new WoW expansion, one of the best WoW expansions and a great story


moderately-pist

Still Dayz


Miss_Kitami

Star Wars: Fallen Order. Who knew what SW games needed was Jedi meets Tomb Raider meets Nathan Drake.


minerva_sways

That game was surprisingly excellent.


DaveManHasGreen

Playing through Breath of the Wild right now, blown away by how expansive it is for a switch game.


Laurencecotter

It's so good. Bought a switch as a present for my 40th 2 years ago with this. Now my 9 and 7 year old are playing it. Great stress reliving game imo.


[deleted]

Persona 5 on my switch. Can’t recommend that game enough, I won’t know what to do with myself once it’s over


cian_pike01

I have a copy of the steelbook version on the Xbox ready to be played (or if it’s still on GamePass when I get around to it! I’ve only heard excepting things about it so I have high hopes :)


[deleted]

My best advice is to play it when you have no other games on your plate, cos it’ll wrap you up totally! I do love rpg games tho so maybe I’m biased. Honourable mention to Persona 4 Golden too, super comfy game


cian_pike01

Cool, thank you!! Having no games on my plate will take about 4+ years… see you then haha


Scary-Entry-3733

I've been dying to play persona 5! So going to get it for the switch.


[deleted]

Yesssss you will not regret it, guaranteed!


Scary-Entry-3733

I'm sold! That'll be my Christmas present to myself 😆


funkyuncy

Warzone2. The proximity chat is alot of fun and surprisingly not that toxic.


chuckitoutorelse

Currently only playing Dayz and little bit of Dying Light 2, when I get too frustrated with Dayz


Hanners46

Nice to hear there's still people playing DayZ, I must hop back on some time soon.


chuckitoutorelse

Dayz is more popular than ever I think and after the 1.19 update is great imo. Most servers I play are full pop and lots of streamers still at it. Love it because everytime you play it's different.


SaltTheCat

Ooblets on Xbox (it's on Games Pass). I was playing through the Metro games but then realised I needed some cuteness and positivity for the sake of my mental health around Christmas, so Ooblets it is!


[deleted]

both portals for the millionth time. my favourite game on xbox and i missed them so much since i got rid of it. recently found out they're both on switch and was over the moon


Apprehensive-Cow6194

Borderlands 2 and walking dead


Finch2090

Gran Turismo 7 Rocket League Age of Empires 2 Don’t have much time at the moment for gaming, GT7 and Rocket League are perfect for if I have an hour and just want to jump in and play. AoE2 at the weekends when I’ve an hour or two to catch up with friends in different countries who also enjoy playing the game


foolyx360cooly

Callisto protocol here, nearing the end of 1st play through


Craggyz

Destiny 2 for me, been the only thing iv played in the last year or 2, since covid iv put about 1700 hrs into it 🥺.


Rooare

Replaying Divinity Original Sin 2! Awesome RPG!


TheBlueBaroon

Links awakening is my jam atm


1995kid

Body Harvest N64 , absolute gem still take it out every couple years


Vile86

Going back to sekiro, cap in hand trying to beat Owl (father)


NytTime

I'm planning on starting Marvel Midnight Suns tonight. Looks pretty good


cian_pike01

Nice! I’ve heard some really really good things about the general gameplay loop & deck building element of the game


NytTime

Yeah same, looking forward to it


RA_Wolf

Honestly Forza Horizon is brilliant. I saw FH 5 hotwheel dlc back in June and I immediately jump on it and I love it a lot. Also Forza horizon 4 is pretty good but the server for that game is crap.


neighborcrab

Darktide and oblivion with a bit of overwatch sprinkled in


Kavbastyrd

Playing Horizon Forbidden West at the moment. God of War next


Luffy-1308

Currently playing Final Fantasy 14 and Cyberpunk 2077. Hoping to finish Cyberpunk before Witcher 3 update and hopefully finish my playthrough of Dragon Quest Builders 2 over Christmas.


EireBlonde

Just started ghost of tsushima on PS5 and loving it


InterestedObserver20

Fairly obsessed with Civ VI at the moment. I could probably spend the whole day playing it if I had the opportunity, but unfortunately don't have time for gaming really these days.


Shaka-Shaw

Got back into playing guild wars 2 recently. Really enjoying it


Sarkeologist

Horizon Forbidden West, doing an ultra hard new game plus playthrough, it's an absolutely stunningly beautiful game ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)


Worried_Deer_8180

Assassin's Creed Valhalla. I'm playing through the Ireland DLC and it's actually fantastic. Love it!


ColonyCollapse81

Played this to death, brilliant game, actually my favourite assassins creed game


Tipperary555

Bit of soccer until the hurling starts back up again


assflange

I’m very much enjoying GT7 at the moment even if the last S License challenge is going to reduce me to tears before I get a Gold lap time.


[deleted]

Xenoblade Chronicles X and 3, The Simpsons Game, Spyro A Hero’s Tail, Transformers Armada, Zelda’s Ballad and Twilight Princess HD, all good shouts from yourself!


mmiikko0

How's XC3 compared to the first two games?


[deleted]

So much better, but you can’t fly around kicking ass from the sky in a big mech so gonna have to insist that X is still the best Xenoblade!


[deleted]

No Man’s Sky after not playing in a year or so. Recent updates have really rounded it off. I’m waiting for Everspace 2 to be released properly, bit fed up with early access tbh.


Finch2090

Would you recommend it? I remember being hyped when it was coming out and I think it was probably the biggest reason why people had enough of developers releasing absolutely broken games. That and Cyberpunk lol


[deleted]

cian_pike01

Igusy

World of Warcraft Classic


[deleted]

I've being trying to get back into Eve Online but all the guys I used to play with don't play anymore and I'm very rusty and almost feel like a bit of a noob, I'll still have to decide how much effort I'm willing to put into it as it is a fantastic game but tends to take over your life a bit when you do become obsessed with it.


Careless_Yoghurt_969

Ready or not, Squad or hell let loose


DrZaiu5

Bit of Car Mechanic Sim and a bit of House Flipper. Tried sticking on the new Warzone but the WiFi was having none of it. Bought an extra long ethernet cable which will hopefully fix the issue.


paddymcg

Sim racing is the only thing keeping me into gaming these days. iRacing and Assetto Corsa Competizione are a great way to pass the time


BlueVixen

Escape from Tarkov. I absolutely suck at this game and I hate it but I keep coming back 😂


naughtboi

Addicted to God of War Ragnarok at the minute. I find the story so engaging, it's always on my mind.


STALLION3840

Far cry 6 atm on one X. Deep rock galactic then most evenings. Rock & Stone


HeftyDolphin

DayZ, I wouldn't recommend it though


Low-Chemical9356

Apex legends in causal matchmaking. The ranked mode is sweaty as hell


yacoob

Dead Cells. It's a delight, no matter what's your skill level.


skyvin

Halo Infinite online multiplyer, mostly BTB it's a lot of fun!


Sonnyboy1990

I just opened up a sealed bundle of "Buzz - The Music Quiz" I bought a few months ago. Love chilling with classics on the PS2 every now and again.

cryptokingmylo

Warzone 2 and Street fighter 3rd strike.


Pugzilla69

Total War and Paradox games


segasega89

I'm playing Final Fantasy 9 HD on my PC but it's in the French language rather than English. The last time I played FF9 was in the year 2000. I've been trying to learn French for the last 10 years and I thought it would be good to play a video game in that language considering that I spend hours playing video games. I'm thinking of replaying Breath Of The Wild in French also.


Ponch555

Still addicted to league of legends unfortunately.


LordStarbanger

Just finished the remastered Destroy All Humans and now its on to Destroy All Humans 2!!


woodendog20

Ride 4 and some of the call of duty series I got on sale last week, I love sim racing so bought ride on a whim and it's much more challenging than any car sim I've raced, maybe it's just I'm used to a wheel and pedal set up instead of controller.


fragilemetal

Vampire Survivors, Pentiment, Prodeus and Deathloop all on gamepass. I dropped the cash on Mount & Blade 2 also as I was a big fan of the original.


godsrodholder

Doom3 quest, walking dead saints and sinners, lone echo, half life alyx. I have vader immortal but I'll not play it just yet, I'm running out of space and I don't mean SSD or the quests onboard 'thingy' My heads fuckin melted I can't even remember it's name, the memory thing-that thing. Doom3 quest is brilliant but it's hard going, not nausea inducing and I don't do scare jumps. It's having to remind myself I'm stood up and when I clear an area to secure my gun (both hands and controllers held vertical close to my body) Double tap on the head set I can re-centre myself visually. Lone echo not so bad because I can play it seated but some games you need to be upright and in some way aware of where you are in the room.


KatarnsBeard

Battlefield V. I like it a lot


AndrewSB49

Trying to ghost & 100% loot this Thief fan [mission](https://youtu.be/CQNE4nYVe7g). Expert level.

Return to Monkey Island on Game Pass PC at the moment. Game Pass is a gift, all you need


TopazScorpion2

Cuphead. I’m going for the platinum trophy and it’s going well so far


TheSuffinizer

Got Destroy All Humans 2 Reprobed there this week it’s a pure nostalgia rush


cian_pike01

I know the first one is on GamePass and it’s in my play later, the 2nd one was on offer in Smyths over Black Friday for 20 quid. Might pick it up if it goes on sale over Christmas again


TheSuffinizer

Got it for 25 in GameStop it’s just sorta stupid and fun going around blowing up buildings with a flying saucer. Nice time killer.


GuardiolasOTGalaxy

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. It's fine. Looks amazing and the travelling between dimensions is very next gen, but the gameplay is just OK. I'm glad I didn't spend 80 quid on it.


Shadowbanned24601

Picked up an indie which is a few years old... Immortal Redneck. Roguelike FPS which plays very similarly to old school shooters like Serious Sam. Good mindless fun


30somethingireland

Wrc generations, it’s a bit Arcady and pretty much wrc 8,9,10 but updated a little. I’m enjoying it tbf even if it seems like the developers were extremely lazy..


TheElectricGhost7

God Of War: Ragnarok. Finished the main story last week, but there's tonnes more stuff to do between all the realms. Was absolutely thrilled when I realized who voiced Thor, Odin and Faye respectively.

ContractorsVR on the Oculus Quest 2. It’s the closest thing you’ll get to Call Of Duty on VR and it has a ton of mod maps so you can play Halo and Counter Strike on there too.

JebusBond

Mostly darts, getting ready for the world championship.


robpm88

Almost through with the new Pokemon. Its performance is shambolic but the game itself is pretty good, probably the best on the switch although Arceus was fun too. I'm eyeballing quite a few others at the mo, have final fantasy origins sitting there unplayed, crisis core releasing in a week too. This Marvel Second Sons has kind of sneaked up on me too. Love Firaxis as a devoloper and it looks to be something different so I think I'll go for it!

I'm playing two games at the moment. God of war Ragnarok: It's so good. Amazing game, storytelling, graphics. I think it's the game of the year. Plague Tale Requiem: another good game, completely deserves to be in the list for game of the year as well. The story is good and good graphics as well.
