My games on the go at the moment are Baldur's Gate 3, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Nier Replicant.

Good set!
I'm currently playing "It Takes Two" with my wife. Super fun co-op game!
Slay the Spire 2. No matter how hard I try to escape, all roads lead back to the spire.
I think I spent probably 20+ hours playing Control Resonant this weekend. Crazy good game.
Control: Resonant
I think I'm 25-30h in and I don't want to put it down. Idk how long it is, but all the Remedy Universe games are such a treat, I don't want it to be over. I'm enjoying the melee-focused combat more than the first game's TPS combat, I think.
I also just started this! I got 100% completion on Control - I loved the lore and little details, finding myself reading every note and watching every video.
Resonant seems to be following the same vibe for me.
Playing The Witcher 3 for the first time. I bought the original when it first came out and just never played it. But they went to all the trouble to be super exceptional people and release the remaster for free so now I have to play it.
What the fuck was 10 years ago me thinking? This game is so fucking good.
Never finished Outer Wilds so decided to pick it uo again, start over, and get through it. Such a great game.
I really enjoyed that game, but I found the final iteration to be such a pain in the ass, that I eventually gave up and uninstalled it without finishing. Maybe I'll try it again eventually. Still well worth playing, regardless.
Yeah, it does get a bit annoying at the end, I agree, but still think the ending was worth it.
I've got a deck of cards in my coffee table that I like to play solitaire on. I keep tweaking the house rules to make it more fun.
Actually I'm not sure I'd call it "fun" so much as "relaxing." But I do enjoy myself.
Hollow Knight, but I am taking a break since I just cannot seem to beat the Traitor Lord boss. Every boss before that I managed in a couple tries but this one really beats me. Even got the top nail upgrade now, still hard. I'll get him eventually...
I believe you have to have shadow dash to fight him. You can dash through every attack he does because he takes long enough between them.
Have tried it, just need to work on my rhythm, I think. Does take a long time like that.
I'm struggling my way through Dark Souls right now, just got to Blighttown. Souls-like games weren't ever my jam previously but I just got into them recently after beating Mortal Shell 2 and figured I'd play my way through the Fromsoft catalogue in order.
I'm also playing Lies of P and that game is fantastic. Before that it was a lot of Hades and Pathogenic, which I still go back to for breaks from dieing in Dark Souls lol
Rimworld grabbed me by the balls and isn't letting me go. I asked for a 2 week vacation at work and spent pretty much the entire 2 weeks playing rimworld.
Committing war crimes in your off time?
Grim Dawn. A new DLC came out, which is pretty neat.
I just finished GTA IV on the PS3. For a game that's satirical of America's love of guns and violence, it makes some very poignant statements of war and the bitterness one gets from having to live through it. I still have The Ballad of Gay Tony and Lost & Damned to play through so I'm looking forward to the themes the story has there.
I am enjoying Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries. Ended up restarting the campaign when I went bankrupt in game. Turns out keeping 75% of all the mechs I salvaged was a poor choice. This time I've kept my mech inventory focused, and it is paying off.
Deadlock has been incredible. I have been playing since day one of the closed beta. It completely got me off of Overwatch which had been a ten year long experience.
Fire Emboem Fortunes Weave has been quite fun. My first FE since the GBA games.
Star Wars Zero Company, ZCOM. Perfect SW XCOM skinned game.
Nightmare Creatures, it sucks 🤣🤣🤣

Currently I'm addicted to Dressmaker. It's chill, creative and without pressure that it's perfect to decompress and relax after work.
Currently obsessed with Blue Prince even after "completing" it as I'm trying to figure out some of the remaining unsolved mysteries. Could possibly be that everything is solved but I'm a believer there is still more to be found.
Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom (the OG not the remaster)
Love just cruising through the game with speedrunning strategies and modding it.
American Truck Simulator with the new road car DLC is making me relive all those trailers of Need For Speed: The Run back in the day.
I have found myself incurably addicted to the surf mini game found within Counter Strike Source. It is a $10 game that is over 20 years old and I have over 600 hours in it already with still a lot to learn. The skill cap is crazy high and it takes so long to master it but when you start getting decent, it's so incredibly satisfying to hit a smooth run and beat your previous PB. You can even compete against other players in your country or globally to earn bragging rights for being one of the best!
I picked up Metaphor re: fantazio on the steam sale and it's been pretty fun so far. It's scratching that turn based Japanese itch.
It has been two years since I did a perfection run on Stardew Valley so why not do it again - this time heavily modded with the most downloaded extended mod pack that I customized even further.
I've also tried to play Where Winds Meet but Stardew has my attention nine days out of ten.
Ace Combat 8. Although my computer requires that it be set to potato mode.
Freelancer. Old but always enjoyable.
Battletech. HBS put out an absolute banger.
My buddy talked me into no mans sky and I gotta say, its really fun.
Its got bugs for sure, and some stuff that is irritating like having to hold E for every action or the stupid notification that happens every time you warp to a system or station that requires you to hold tab to skip but there are mods that help.
I love being able to build a ship and a base on different planets, own my own space fleet, destroy pirates, be a pirate, etc. Its far from perfect but I'm into it now. Its fun as hell.
Pillars of Eternity with the new turn based combat! I've been waiting for it for a long time!
Dressmaker! I love making my mostly hideous dresses with one or two very lovely dresses thrown in! And it's nice you can undo cuts unlike irl where gg, wasted fabric. Love you magic game fabric!
I'll likely get some mods soon and just go wild adding a bunch of new fabrics!
I was down with the flu for a week, so I a) started Broken Sword...for REAL this time. b) charged up my 3DS for the first time in years and am just playing a lot of CrossworDS Plus or whatever.
Tonight I started Pokemon Heartgold, but I can't lie, didn't play them back in the day and don't understand the appeal. I'm going to try though.
I'm mainly playing 3 games right now.
I'm slowly but surely making my way through Valheim 1.0 with a friend who's mostly only available during the weekends. Very fun, despite the two of us having very different gameplay styles. He enjoys looking up guides and cheesing things using tips from pros, while I like to figure out things naturally and will avoid cheese like I'm lactose intolerant. He's the builder this time around, so things have gone mostly his way. I'd probably have more fun alone, but I know damn well I could never sit down and finish a game as long and grindy as Valheim by myself.
I've also been playing a lot of Helldivers 2 with a group of friends. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with this game. There's 5 of us now (which has been problematic in a 4-player game), and yet somehow NONE of us are ever together unless its something really tough like a flag raising objective. We just don't really have the team play part of the game down yet (despite having several hundred hours in it), which leads to us often getting a bit tilted in the moment.
Alone, I've really been enjoying Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. The second chapter came out recently, so I finally pulled it out of my backlog to play. This is VERY different from my normal games (first ever JRPG, aside from the original Pokemon games), but I've been having a lot of fun with it. I really like running around and seeing all of the NPCs' own little personal stories evolving in between each quest. I'm playing on the hardest difficulty, and I'm pretty glad I am, because I'm hardly struggling outside of boss fights. Which is strange to me, because I tried the demo for this game when it first game out like a year or two ago on the same difficulty and remember finding it incredibly difficult.
i've been playing Broken Age and I'm really enjoying it. just started the second act.
Also started ghostrunner 2 But that first boss is unforgiving.
playing fallout 4 again. i already loved it when it had came out, but it is honestly even better than i remember. too many people focus on what the game isn't and completely miss the masterpiece that it is
Vampire Crawlers
I've picked up my original Skyrim save game from 2012. I still haven't beaten the game.
I’m not and that makes me very sad. To much real life going on and I’m in desperate need of the escapism.
American Truck Simulator!
It's exactly what it sounds like. You drive a truck. You make deliveries. Beautiful scenery, relaxing drives, plus some challenge when it comes time to back up to the loading dock. It's really chill and it's awesome.
(There's also Euro Truck Simulator 2 which is literally the exact same game but in Europe, if that's more your thing.)

I just 100%ed vampire crawlers, and jumped over to cobalt core. Crawlers resonated more with me than the original survivors game, the mechanics are really neat and the game is not afraid to let your power levels grow beyond ridiculous levels.
Currently bouncing between Space Station 14 and Elite: Dangerous. SS14 when I'm feeling social, Elite when I need to just disappear into space in my very own ship where nobody can bother me
Been enjoying Going Medieval for single player, it's the perfect little castle builder fantasy, though building an actual castle takes a very long time when you're still learning the game. But! That incentivises starting out small, feels like you get to see actual historical development rather than just arriving at the big final castle.
Multiplayer it's Big Walk, what an absolute delight! Loving that the intro is so gentle, but there's clearly a lot of depth.
