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.
I’m a sucker for nostalgia and a believer of game preservation, and I managed to figure out, with some guides, how to setup my own private World of Warcraft server using AzerothCore. It only goes up to Wotlk but IMO, that’s the best expansion anyway.
I’ve been using it currently to solo play the game with bots. Funny enough, the bots actually dodge fire! Lol. But since it has bots that means I can still do dungeon and raid content! And I don’t have to deal with the stress of juggling a raid schedule. I can just play whenever I want, however long I want.
It does also have the option to be port forwarded to allow friends to join. But I don’t have any good friends interested in that. And I don’t want to make the server fully public for reasons.
Unfortunately, its very complicated to setup. So I highly recommend finding a guide before trying to install it. It does require setting up a virtual machine and running a bunch of scripts. So it can be a bit complicated for anyone who isn’t tech savvy.
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 Icewind Dale again. It’s one of my comfort games, along with several of the other Infinity Engine games. Still holds up.
100%'d Silksong, my game of the decade so far.
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.
Rdr1 which is what got me in the series (and also into spaghetti westerns).
Unfortunately I’m dealing with a bug that’s hiding all my wolf pelts so I can’t sell them, and asking on reddit just gets me downvoted for whatever fucking reason.
The next game I’m gonna try is Night in the Woods, I heard some good things about it.
Playing Ghost of Yotei at the moment and absolutely loving it. Tsushima was an all timer for me so I’m happy for more.
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.
Just finished SOMA a few years late. Asks some very good questions…
I loved Soma, so much existential angst.
I love the big revelations and how they are done. It’s definitely a game which makes you think.
I also love that they put in the no deaths mode so you can ignore the monsters which whilst cool I don’t think added much to the experience for me other than frustration trying to sneak past them.
Just finished my annual Far Cry 2 play through, and it was as chaotic and random as ever.
Was surprised by Ratchet and Clank Rifts apart. It is fun and well made.
If you want some new games I’ll recommend: Rollerdrome
El Paso elsewhere
I used to love the ratchet and clank series. But I haven’t had a sony console since the PS2
Its on PC and if you have PC you could run it through and emulator
I just started Cryptmaster today and it’s even better than I was anticipating!
It’s charming, wryly funny, and the art style is incredible. It’s as close to a lighthearted D&D session in tone I’ve experienced and I adore it.
Got it in a pick-your-own bundle alongside Meg’s Monster which I’ve yet to play but still excited! Haven’t regretted it yet.
