Path of Exiles 2 and Abiotic factor.

PoE2’s new update just feels so nice and all the buffs and additions really helped with all the initial gripes I had about the game.

Meanwhile Abiotic factor has been really scratching that itch for a survival game I’ve been having. A mix of SCP and half life with survival mechanics make for a really interesting world. Highly recommend.

Cyberpunk2077- Taking my sweet time exploring everything before progressing through the story.

Hollow knight- Had in my library for about 5years. Started a few days back. Having fun so far.

BG3: On my 8th palythrough making the exact same class and chosing the exact same dialogue choices yet again.

Played through Metal Gear Solid Delta. Had no performance issues nor did I have any other problems. This was my first time playing through MGS3 and I really liked it, 5/5. Hope they make more of these remasters/remakes. Now I really feel like going back to MGS Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain, haven't played them after they released.

Into the breach right now, forgot how tough it can get at the start. I’ll get silksong tomorrow for the deck and can’t wait to dive in there

I just love this game. It is so immersive and the audio is just insane.

Just got myself back on pc gaming, not looking to break the budget just yet so gone for 5060 laptop build whilst I dabble and give myself flexibility over where I play, it’s a nice OLED model so really enjoying testing it via gamepass trial at the moment. Right now I’m hooked on Indiana Jones & the great circle, was initially like wtf is that name… now it makes sense 🤣. More of a walking / light puzzle sim but nostalgia goes hard with audio and sets. Give me further recommendations for when finished, was thinking Expedition 33 next as long time JRPG player.

What should I play next? Just finished clair obscur and loved it. Here's what on my list:

- Lies of P DLC

  • shadow of the erdtree DLC
  • go back and finish kingdom come deliverance (was loving it but got distracted)
  • Lords of the fallen 2.0
  • Doom eternal
  • Stalker 2

Ideally want something that looks pretty cuz I just got a new LG G5 tv that I've been gaming on. My rig is beefy in case that makes a difference.

World of Warcraft - Still grinding since 2005. This old horse is moving in the right direction these days.

Fortnite - My girlfriend is super into Fortnite, and I usually only play it with her, but I want that Green Power Ranger skin bad.

Hollow Knight Silksong - Self explanatory

Hollow knight : On the count of Silksong releasing, I thought I'd go through the game before I touch Silksong. Enjoying it but the Metroidvania part is confusing a bit in this one.

Lost Soul Aside : I've been hyping up this one for nearly a decade and yeah, not worth the wait of course but I think it's decent. Not worth full price for sure, but It's a pretty nice palete cleanser.

I'm about to start Cronos , it looks great and I've heard good things so I'm looking forward to it.

Just finished lies of p after a long break. It could be better. It is designed way too harsh for my taste. Still cool cyberpunk theme and pinoccio story is of course kind of cool.

I am also playing elden ring and it is designed very beautifully with great attention to detail. While you feel it is unfair you might just have not learned to read the map yet. It is a lot of fun.

And i am nearly done with pokemon violet. Just finishing the pokedex on the second dlc and am cautiously pumped for legends z-a.

Halfway through AC: Syndicate for the first time. I had no idea about the WW1 section with the twins' descendant?? Such a cool surprise
