I don’t play games as much as I used to, but I had a lot of fun recently with Carrion - you play an alien hive mind eating scientists and fighting security through an Area 51 style facility.
I recommend this game to anyone who has only played AAA games as a gateway drug to indie games.
This game was an absolute banger.

I finished Baldur’s Gate 3, so i fell in the post-great-game melancholy. I reinstalled Hades and Stardew Valley, but ya know
Did you play Larian´s Divinity: Original Sin II yet? It might ease your pain a lot and it´s on -70% right now.
I played the one, all the way to the big fight at the end, failed it and got too exhausted to reload and redo it… But it was a really good game though , it’s true! Is the 2 as good/better?
“The 2” is the best RPG I have ever played in my life. The combat system and the overall style of the game is famazing! I especially loved all the cheese.
I just started a nude dark urge run and it really changes the game up.
Just finished the Alan Wake Remaster. Really hated it, but apparently that is an unpopular opinion. I just felt like the story is not as innovative as people say and the mechanics are the same from the start to the finish.
I’m now playing Dredge. Really enjoying that game right now. I’m traveling so my Steam Deck is getting some use. I’ll be switching between Dredge and Cult of the Lamb while I’m away.
I have given Alan Wake so many tries but I get so bored by the whole into sequence. I think it suffers from the many (novel at the time) video game tropes of the late 2000s.
It’s odd because I absolutely love Max Payne despite it being much older.
I just finished Stray. I’m not really a cat person but it was actually really enjoyable. Turns out cats are great platformers!
I also finished Strange Horticulture yesterday. That was a pleasant surprise especially since it was set in the Lake District.
I’m now trying to decide between starting Baldur’s Gate 3 (I am not a fan of turn based combat), Immortality or The Talos Principle 2.

I will say that you’ll be doing a ton of turn based combat in BG3. But it’s also one of the most well realized worlds I’ve ever played in.
I have friends who won’t play any classic RPGs because they don’t like turn based combat, but they love BG3.
If the idea of a sandbox filled with stories where you have tons of choice sounds interesting to you, I’d give it a try.
I love cult of the lamb I got it on my switch and I genuinely think it’s a perfect game for handheld
Cause you can easily pick it up and play it a little and set it down
But also engaging enough to sit down and play it on your TV
Plus the combination between rouge like and base building is honestly amazing
Against The Storm. It’s a surprisingly addictive game.
I’m playing Assassin’s Creed Mirage. It’s a nice change from the gigantic 100 hour open world epics that the series makes now and it’s a very nice looking and sounding game. The story is fairly standard for AC games (although there’s no Animus/modern day storyline this time), and the gameplay feels like what AC1 would have been if they made it today. Overall I am enjoying it a lot. I haven’t been able to play video games for the past month because I’ve been recovering from a major surgery but this has been a nice game to start up now that I can play games again.
Baldurs Gate 3 still. 3rd run, this time Tactition. Next run on Honor. Still a banger.
INSIDE absolutely blew me away a few months ago, and I got a recommendation for Little Nightmares in a discussion about it. After about half an hour, I’ve gotta say, it’s properly weird and I wonder what’s it got in stock for me.
I’ve been playing the Mario RPG remake. I remember loving the game as the kid, but as I get to each part of the game I’m like “Damnit, I hate this level!”, and it happens over and over again and I’m like “wait, why do I like this game? I hate this game.”
With that said I’m still playing it because I’m almost done with it so I may as well finish it.
It’s easier than I remember, but I also played the original when I was like 10 years old, so maybe it used to be more difficult because I wasn’t as good at video games when I was 10.
I’m excited to finish it because I have an OLED Steam Deck on the way, and I’m trying to sort out what I’m going to play first. Any suggestions for controller friendly games that run well on the deck? I think Dave the Diver is near the top of that list. I’m not to keen on playing first person shooters with joysticks, that’s what my PC is for.
If you’re in the mood for something more story based, I just played Disco Elysium on my deck and it was incredible. I’m currently slow burning my way through BG3 on it which is also a good experience but it requires some fiddling to get it running nicely.
Just finished Full Void, a pixel graphics cinematic puzzle platformer in the style of Another World. Cool original soundtrack, nice style and animation, great atmosphere and world building despite no words.
2 hours long main story, cool indie project with great attention to detail. Well worth the money.
If you play it you will be surprised who it is dedicated to, as you can read at the end of the game.
Just recently started playing rimworld and I’m super hooked. Trying to complete the game vanilla first then dive into modding
Playing SCUM with old friends and having a blast. Game is beautiful, enjoying base building, killing zombies, exploring the map, and fighting for loot.
It’s really messing up my sleep schedule (and adult responsibilities) though.
WoW classic season of discovery! It’s my first time playing classic and I’ve been having a lot of fun. Just hit 25 the other day and starting world PVP, so much fun at these low levels.
Top notch
