What PC games are you playing?

An awesome series of map packs on Quake: smej and smej2.

I haven't played maps as good as these for a long time. The atmosphere and visual style oozes quality and excellent design.

Warning: map 1 on smej is large, very good, but quite challenging. Don't let it put you off. The following levels are so worth it.

Been playing a bit of Arcanium: Rise of Akhan lately. It's a deckbuilder that reminds me of Vault of the Void, but more forgiving and with an interesting 3-on-3 character based lane system in place of the single deck. In EA right now with regular updates and about to get two big content dumps - the 7th planned hero of 12 comes out on Friday and two weeks after that we get the second chapter of four.

Still Loop Hero and Siralim Ultimate, decided to give CoD:Warzone a go but see myself losing interest fast because I get SUPER tilted in games like this

Finally finished Divinity: Original Sin 2.

I took a break back in October to play the new batch of games, Assassins Creed, Immortals, Cyberpunk, etc. Only just got back to it a week ago after thinking I'd just leave it and try another turn based crpg, but nothing hit the spot! So glad I went back and finished DOS2.
I don't think I'll do another play through, but will jump on Baldur's Gate 3 as soon as that's out.

One of the best games I've ever played but I've STILL never finished it. Twice I've tried to but taken a break and then started again from the beginning. Both times I abused the game mechanics so hard it trivialised all content (sourcery combo AoE explosions build and then barrelmancer) to the point it started to be uninteresting

Immortals Fenyx Rising, I didn't expect to like this tbh but the demo got me hooked and I ended up getting the full game. It's a nice break from playing Elite Dangerous, Rainbow 6 and BF4.

I enjoyed Immortals Fenyx Rising for about 20 hours but got bored then.
I subbed to uplay for a month for it so was well worth it.

I didn't play much or Immortals Fenyx Rising, but of what I did play it seemed like cartoon AC:Valhalla

SW:FO.

It’s certainly scratching the SW itch, even if the backtracking does seem a little excessive.

Loving the soundtrack too.

Yes I am going through the game now too and the production values are insane. The visuals are also pretty mind boggling on my OLED TV. Plays great with a PS5 pad too.

Sitting in my living room playing a good single player story-driven game with a gamepad on the big screen with the sound banging out of my AV system is becoming a joy.

Nothing except a few games on MtG: Arena the last couple of days. Motivation is shot

Tried CoD: Warzone and just couldn't wrap my head around it. Finished 44th in my first game in solos and then got worse on each subsequent game.
Am I meant to be focussing on clearing the challenges to get money at the start?

Surviving mars, was free the other day on epic games. Not sure I like it though.

Snap. 65” C9 but with an Xbox pad. :cool:

Doubt they’d be allowed to release it without a massive budget for the soundtrack.

I'm just reinstalling XCOM 2 (on Steam). For another round of playing. I love thu
is game, but never got far on the very hardest level. Probably never will.

Maybe this time I'll get the expansion / diwnload pack.l too.

C64 · 18 Mar 2021 at 19:54

wasteland 3 and liking it thus far, it's like shadowrun snes meets xcom

Sycho · 18 Mar 2021 at 21:30

Going to start Visage tomorrow, any horror fans here really need to buy it great gfx and atmosphere.

Am guessing SW:FO = Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order ?

Was it the backtracking comment that gave it away?

Yep, I forgot the J.
