What's everyone on /m/gaming playing lately?

I'm still making my way through the Diablo IV campaign, really enjoying that but looking forward to blasting and figuring out if I enjoy the endgame more than anything at this point. I'm a binge Path of Exile player but the past few leagues haven't really done it for me. It's been nice to play an ARPG again and I'm enjoying D4's slower pace. Zoom zoom is great in POE, but it's nice to get back to basics a little bit.

Went with Whirlwind Barbarian. Know it's meta, but Cyclone Slayer is my favorite POE build so I'm just trying to enjoy my time as the overpowered class rather than fighting it haha.

Played through the Lies of P demo as well and thought it was mostly great. Not the greatest example of gameplay for the genre IMO, but the production values and the vibe were stellar.

How about you guys?

Company of Heroes, it's a real time strategy video game series based around WW2, the Campaigns are great and I've absolutely loved it. It's a great RTS Classic I highly recommend it, it's even on Mobile

I’ve been playing a lot of Marvel Snap lately, they just added a Conquest Mode which effectively lets you test new decks (plus earning other prizes but waves hand) I’ve been having a lot of fun with my High Evo Toxic deck and also just made a High Evo Hulk deck.

I’m finishing up Shining Pearl, I basically put my game on hold right before the E4 so I could run around in the Underground for the blasted Spiritomb quest. I ended up getting burnt out and taking a hiatus so I think I’m just going to do the E4 and get Spiritomb later.

I also think I’m gonna pick up TOTK, I watched my partner play through it and I have a mighty need to make monster-killing Rube Goldberg contraptions.

I’m addicted to Path of Exile. Doesn’t matter the league, I’m in. So much content to choose from.

@miraclechalk

I've played in various leagues throughout the years, but honestly i find the sheer quantity of content has reached the point of being a drawback. There are so many different mechanics out there now that it's hard to keep track of it all, and remember what ties in to what, what's actually useful, etc.

The incredibly limited inventory space really doesn't help this either, since even with specialized stash tabs - how many different kinds do you need now? You'll often lose 1-2 columns of your inventory to the shards, or cards, or whatever else just between stash visits.

It's a shame, because i really love the gem/socket skill interaction & leveling systems, and the skill atlas is like pure dopamine. Although now with the second, maps skill atlas, even that has become a bit excessive.

I get that the game is aimed at a more Hardcore audience than me, but still, it's a shame.
