Bannerlord! Been sitting in my library for a while now, finally got the time to play it.
Have you played Warband? If so, how does it compare? I’ve been thinking about picking up Bannerlord but most of my enjoyment of Warband came from features mods added (mostly diplomacy stuff) so I’ve been a little reluctant to pick it up.
I have played Warband as well. At the moment Bannerlord is basically as feature complete as Warband I think. If there’s one thing still lacking, it’s probably the amount of mods for Bannerlord, though a lot of mods are in development. A diplomacy mod exists for Bannerlord called Diplomacy, though not sure how different it is from Warband diplomacy mods.
Great time to play it too. The beta and post launch was rough but a lot of improvements have been made since. Check out mods if you can, some are really helpful!
I’ve only been able to get a few hours into TOTK due to being a “responsible” adult with no free time, but I’ll keep churning away at it half an hour here and there.
Took me over a year to finish BOTW to a reasonable degree, I imagine TOTK will keep be going for the foreseeable future.
Age of Empires 2 DE. That is my go to game and I currently play through all the campaigns. There are so many, it is great!
:o I’ve always played these games in multiplayer. Maybe I ought to give the singleplayer a go some time too!
Totally worth it imo. Not joking, there are hundreds of hours single player campaigns to be played and they tell interesting stories.
I just restarted Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning. I started it almost 10 years ago but didn’t get very far. It’s dated, but I’m really enjoying it so far!
I’ve broken my winning streak, and found my way back into Eve Online again. This time I’m in Faction Warfare, which actually seems like fun, and not an eternal blobfest all over the place.
Started playing OpenTTD again after many years, forgot how engaging the game can be!
In addition to the new Zelda, I’ve been playing a lot of Super Mario Bros 3. That game holds up so much better than the original.
Mechabellum. Nothing else.
Autobattler with mechs. Very lively atm and you get a game in a minute easily. Super well executed game, but it is in early access and definitely has jank when it comes to user experience.
Would 100% recommend.
Beyond All Reason (free and oss RTS)
Spider-Man Remastered on Steam. I haven’t played a Spider-Man game since the original. It was/is on sale. It’s really fun, but it does have performance problems.
The new Season of Deep Rock Galactic. I don’t really like this seasons weapon frameworks, but there’s still some cool cosmetics to unlock. Like a plague doctor mask with a fancy hat. :3

I held off on Cyberpunk since even after the performance and bug issues were mostly fixed, I kept hearing complaints about stats and upgrade systems. I heard the next update is going to make a ton of changes and fix the gameplay, but I decided to buy the game now and play a bit so I can see the before/after.
According to steam I have 4 hours in-game, but really that was 2 hours of tweaking settings to try and fix a stuttering issue that made the game unplayable. Turns out my mouse being set to 1000hz polling was the problem; lowered my mouse to 500hz and the game runs smoothly. That has never been a problem for me in any Unity or Unreal game, if RedEngine can’t support 1000hz the least they could do is add a popup to tell me that’s what the issue is so I don’t waste time toggling every setting and reinstalling drivers for no reason. After that I spent like an hour customizing my character, and in the hour in which I was actually playing the game I made my way through some of the intro/tutorial missions.
Not a good experience starting out, but I’m hoping to have enough time this week to finish the intro stuff and finally be able to run around the city.
I downloaded OpenTTD for the millionth time and got sucked into it again. Many sleepless nights!
Diablo 4 ! The grind is more fun with a team
How does Diablo 4 handle credit for quests in a group?
So for world events you get XP relative to your level and if there are some 5% more xp for unknown players being nearby. For quests secondary or story, same thing, it’s relative to your level and you get full XP and rewards for doing it for the first time, and less for redoing it. And 10% for being with friends.
For dungeons, the level do not scale. So if a level 50 takes you in a dungeon while you are level 1, and you stay at the entrance while he clears it, you’ll get XP for clearing a level 50 dungeon.
The Elder Scrolls Online. I dig the new Arcanist class, and I also have a Nightblade that has a jackal as his pet. Both are fun.
