Recently got Lobotomy Corporation from a friend with the message “welcome to the cult”. Now I’m addicted and I’m managing my nuggets even in my dreams. Send help.
It’s free on PS+. It’s the only game I’ve played for the PS5 that actually supports full mouse and keyboard, too, which is cool.
Crazy how I used to not really like COD because it was so arcadey, and now that is the one thing that makes it more appealing than most other modern shooters currently with large, active playerbases.
I still have a lot of the same critisms I always had about this series though. Most of the maps are garbage. The constant barrage of sounds and popups is irritating and distracting from the fun. The gunplay feels too samey for every weapon, and “aim” is a joke given how not only aim assistance works, but also how little spread and recoil there is to compensate for when aiming down sights to where everything but a shotgun feels like a laser beam. And the god awful netcode that can have you getting killed from a dude right in front of you that never appeared on your screen until after you were dead.
Just bought way too much stuff over the Steam sale.
American Truck Simulator. Finally bought the newest map DLC for it (Texas, Oklahoma), and installed quite a few truck/car/map mods for it. Fun to just… drive. Deliveries can be quite challenging. Also dip into ETS2 ever so often. Road style and architecture is quite a nice change of pace. Play primarily in VR with full lowkey sim-rig.
Project Zomboid. Too good and too many mods. Fun to just see how long I can roam around in an RV or Jaap Nomad :P
Dying Light. Played the hell out of this pirated last year, finally bought it with all the extra DLC. Worth it.
Noita. Got back into watching FuryForged and his insane playthroughs. Can’t decide it it’s more fun to watch or play.
Dead Cells. Haven’t dipped my toes into Soulsborne style gaming much, as I rather like a more relaxed “I’m in danger but not always gonna die”, but the difficulty here is nice. The art style really drew me in too.
Control. Stuck at the Benicoff TV / Salvador battle, but overall really enjoying it. Downside is I’m having to play the pirated version due to 505’s screw-up with the “Ultimate Edition” fuckup with Humble.
Voidigo. Fun & very colorful roguelite twitch shooter. Animations wonderful and all characters are top notch, weapon variety is vast.
Final Fantasy 16 - I haven’t had a lot of time to play it lately, but really enjoying it. Story and world feel like classic SNES era Final Fantasy, but darker, a little more adult. Graphics are great, it’s a beautiful game and looks next gen. And the gameplay is fine… It’s just button mashing, casting spells from range over and over till you finally stagger a powerful enemy, or a quick time event. But it does feel like an action beat-em-up taking place within a Final Fantasy world. Would love if it were more turn based, or at least party based like FF7 Remake, but it’s fine. Good game so far 👍
The game has the highest high points in any game in recent memory for me. The only thing that makes it a 9/10 in my eyes is the slower sidequest-esque missions sometimes inserted into the main quest, and the lack of any real RPG elements
There is a method to the madness in the game wants you to think of your abilities like a DPS MMO rotation.
Also your damage from the helm splitter scales with height.
For example, the thunder ball + will of wisps creates just a constantly pulsing ball of damage. Then add on any other moves done. Don’t forget your dog can jump in on the last hit of your base attack string.
Diablo IV couch coop is awesome.
The story is fun, over the top, dramatic, brutal. We played through it and I only wish it wasn’t always online. So many moment were ruined by lag. Season 1 is about to be released but the game still lags like it’s on dial-up.
I’ve been finally playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 while I’m waiting for Baldur’s Gate 3 to come out and I’ve been having an absolute blast. ATM I’m scraping the last nooks and crannies of Reaper’s Coast before continuing forward.
Been replaying The Outer Worlds and some No Man’s Sky as I await Starfield. TOW is just as good as I remembered, and NMS is still a chill time suck that I can “space” out to.
Bought Star Citizen and my god is it really good. Initially I assumed it wouldn’t due to everything I read but man those articles are usually out the date. The recent update added a lot and seemed to have fixed a lot. There are still quite a few bugs, but most you run into will not prevent you from playing the game.
Got State of Decay 2 a few weeks ago and have been playing it whenever I have time. Love games with permadeath and resource management, if you’re into that check it out. I’d also recommend if you like permadeath in things like XCOM, I’ve had some miserable moments losing characters lol

Brotato, game of the year for me.
I’ve been playing Bully: Scholarship Edition for the first time and having a blast.
