Traveling this weekend, so nothing possible except some Words on mobile. But when back home early next week I’ll have a free day or two, and expect to be fully invested in RimWorld and Grim Dawn.
Stars in Shadow.
Out of the Park Baseball Perfect Game.
Doing taxes.
In between bouts of Magic Arena, gonna keep trying to understand Apex Legends, and maybe finally finish off Shadow of Mordor.
Probably Dark Forces. Since my desktop PC died, I’m mostly limited to retro and/or extreme-indie games that can run on my $300 laptop. This is the one that has grabbed me most since I finished with Heroes of Might & Magic II.
Try Heroes of Might and Magic 5 Tribes of the East. It’s probably the best HoMM game since 3. Just make sure you get the stand alone expansion.
Some more Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (I don’t think I’ll go back to Unity after putting about 3 hours into it after Syndicate, which has much better pacing, better lead characters (Evie) and I’m loving the wide, filthy, streets of Victorian London); Another attempt at Monster Hunter World (not clicking for me after a couple of hours, but in fairness, I have played it only sporadically in short bursts); Resident Evil 2 if I can get my testes back out after the last time I played.
And if there’s time, sampling some Game Pass fare: Ori & The Blind Forest, Ashen, Shadow Complex and Wasteland 2.
But that’s really ambitious, even for a 3-day weekend.
Divinity Original Sin 2, Super Mega Baseball 2 and maybe some Civ Gathering Storm.
I’ll try to find out if Crackdown 3 is as bad as people say (so far: no), how Anthem (in the 10 hours trial) begins, and why people enjoy Apex Legends, but mainly I’ll just end up playing PUBG with my friends as usual.
Alliance of the Sacred Sun, with a little Gathering Storm thrown in.
I’m not familiar with Civ enough to know-- what is the unmentionable mod?
Speaking as someone with 100 hours in the game at this point, I’ll tell you, the first few hours of MHW suck. Make liberal use of the wiki (the game is lousy at explaining itself) and try a variety of weapons to see if you can find something you like. It’s worth pressing on for a few more fights, certainly, to see if it clicks. If not, then not. Personally I didn’t really fall for it til I brought down my first Anjanath (or Pinky the Flaming T-rex as I call him) but YMMV.
How playable is it? I thought whole systems were still missing.
I will keep that in mind, thanks.

[/quote]What’s there is fascinating. Lots to figure out, lots to do. But yeah, there are whole systems that are not in yet. Like the military.
I bought Heroes V a long time ago. Thanks for the recommendation – good to know. Whether it will run on my laptop is another question. For now I think I’m a bit Hero’d out (I binged on HOMM 2 over the past few weeks) so a different genre might be more my speed.
Played some Railway Empire. Tomorrow we’re playing Twilight Imperium 4.
Pillars Of Eternity 2 !!! Enjoying some turn-based RPGing, how they were meant to be played :)
Spellforce 2. For the life of me I don’t know why. It is not a particularly good RPG nor is it a strong RTS, but the combination has got its hooks into me.
Dare I say it, it is…
They came out with an anniversary edition recently, didn’t they? Like with Titan Quest.
They did and I bought it from GOG when it recently was on sale.
