Iron Danger.
It's an indie tactical RPG that's RTWP similar to other CRPGs. But the main feature of it is being able to rewind time to redo actions if they don't work out, so combat ends up being similar to a puzzle as you rewind and reposition or try new attacks.
The downside is that it's linear, and has no items and very little character progression which are what it's lacking the most compared to a typical CRPG, but it's an interesting take on the style of combat.

I've been playing the original Quake, as well as Deus Ex. I'm not normally a fan of boomer shooters, but Quake has been surprisingly fun and interesting. I realize this might be a complaint for some, but I appreciate the simplified arsenal of weapons. It puts more focus on enemies and the level design, which I appreciate.
Deus Ex is fun, but it hasn't had the moment where it fully clicks for me just yet, like Prey did. I'm still enjoying it, but I'm curious to see if it really grips me like some other immersive sims do.
I went Diablo 4 to Diablo 3 to Last Epoch currently. Pretty fun so far.
Tried grim dawn?
Caves of Qud & Rain World
Little bit of Beyond All Reason, little bit of Battle Bit, and lots of Rocket League and PUBG
Playing mostly Honkai Star Rail, and I’m in the middle of a Mass Effect trilogy run - quite literally, since I’m halfway through ME2.
A lot of timberborn.
I can't allow myself to use the speedup controls in games, and I'm playing iron teeth (newly revamped) but for some insane reason I'm not letting myself build engines, and i made droughts longer, so basically 50% of the time i have no power and all my bots don't work.
Lol
Final Fantasy X remake on PS Vita
Hogwarts Legacy.
I kinda stopped playing since it came out I was so busy with university.
Now that I’m finished I can finally pick it up again!!
Also apex legends on the side. I don’t know what it is about the game but I can’t stop playing it, even though it just pisses me off lol
Anyone else can relate?
100% feel you on Apex. I played a bunch on console, decent decent, and could ride through the pissed-off-ness. Moved to PC and the struggle is real. Still love it but ooof.
Hardspace:Shipbreaker, ETS2 and some fs 22
Age of wonders 4! It's been awhile since I got so engaged with a 4x, and this one's got a pretty decent combat system to boot (turn based tactical).
Symphony of the night and Mario 64 on stream baby
Citizen Sleeper (discounted on GOG rn!) is really good. The timed elements are not as stressful as I thought they might be and the overall story is interesting enough to keep me playing. It does feel a bit too easy in the later stages, and I'm afraid I might have made a decision that is gonna end the game for me too early, but otherwise I'm having fun with it, can definitely recommend it if you want a sci-fi story-based / resource management game.
I really dig Citizen Sleeper. Agreed the later stages get a bit easy but it’s still great. (The endings can come out of nowhere but I’m still chuffed with the one I got.)
I just finished the main story for Bioshock Infinite. What a mind fuck. I'm still tripping over the reveal. I'm gonna be vague here because I don't want to give spoilers. And it seems there are no spoiler tags on lemmy yet.
I can't believe how many hints they gave me that I completely missed. They essentially tell you a couple of times, and I still missed it somehow. I almost want to go back and play it again to see how many hints I missed. I can think of a few off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are more.
Anyway, I'm playing the DLCs now. I enjoyed the first one, but the second one is seeming a bit painful. I really don't like stealth games.
Dead by daylight is having it's anniversary event so largely that, mixed in with BattleBots and some diablo 4
Been going hard on Kenshi as of late. Such an amazingly unique game.
Been hard on Diablo 4
and OSRS on the side because the grind never stops!
I finally upgraded my graphics card to a 4070 Ti, despite the ridiculous pricing (been waiting for over 3 years to upgrade and I've using a GTX 1050 on a 1440p monitor this entire time). Now I'm working through a considerable backlog of GPU-intensive games that I was unable run well or even at all.
Started with God of War and I'm loving it! Next up is Read Dead Redemption 2.
Lately, I've been obsessed with Into The Breach, a mecha vs kaiju strategy game bythe developers of FTL. It's surprisingly challenging, and more similar to chess than any other strategy computer game I've played before.
Into the Breach is GOATed with the SAUCE baby god I love everything by that team. Can't wait to see what they make next. I've put hundreds of hours into it across platforms despite being not the best at it haha
Detroit become human. I find many PS games that got ported to PC are good. Lots of attention to detail. Although some are hard to get into. Can they ever stop talking for a second in persona 5 strikers so we can game a bit?!?
Factorio and art of rally
Satisfactory. Still got to complete that last step. And put trains everywhere. Can't seem to help it.
Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. Still. And probably for the next few months ;)
I got a good deal on Assassin's Creed II and finally figured out how to hook up an x-box controller to my PC (yes, I'm dumb). I never played any of the AC games other than the first one when it originally came out, so I'm excited to get done with work and give it a shot.
I'm playing Satisfactory, there's something really meditative about building an enormous factory on a beautiful world
Ori and the Blind Forest. I like the art a lot.
Tears of the Kingdom, still.
I'm getting batocera configured so all kinds of retro games
Lord of the Rings Online!
Just finished Metro Exodus. I think I’m going to dive into Assassins Creed Origins next.
Diablo 4. Mate of mine talked me and another friend to play it and, yeah, he was right: love it. Not the kind of game I’d play alone but it’s brilliant as a laid-back social game (even if I’m getting a bit obsessed, build wise).
Been getting back into Horizon Zero Dawn! I planned on playing more of it sooner but just wasn't finding any interest until the past couple of days. Also picked up Pokemon Scarlet for the first time in six months to try finding a shiny Gimmighoul in the limited raid event that's happening.
Pikman 3 Deluxe
It's been fun, beat the main story. It's really short though which is kinda disappointing. Realized that if I had a friend the co-op would probably be a blast
Some fallout: New Vegas, hoping to buy subnautica: Below Zero when it goes on sale
