What videogames are you playing in 2025?

I'm playing Mechwarrior 5: Clans, and while it's okay, it's getting a bit repetitive. In pretty much every battle the strategy is to have everyone in my star (squad) target my target, lather, rinse, and repeat. It doesn't help that most all the missions feel alike whether it's a patrol, you're on defense, or it's an assault.

Unfortunate! I had thought about picking this up at some point - the trailers looked nice enough and it's been a while since I played a Mechwarrior/Battletech game. But just repeating the same things over and over doesn't sound very enjoyable.

So I've been told that the Switch release of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection has some performance/frame rate issues. But I've also seen some things to suggest that this either got a patch or wasn't as bad as has been said (i.e. that the game can still be enjoyed at 30 FPS).

Anyone have any hands-on experience with this title?

Civ 7: Released 6 months too early but I like the core tile puzzle and everything else is getting better with patches.

BG3: Still in Act 1 but loving it.

TMNT Shredder’s Revenge: Play this coop with my youngest and happy memories are being made. I’m looking forward to the Marvel Cosmic Invasion.

BG3 gets its massive new patch next week. Unfortunately, I have to wait until mid May to play it, because I am in the final stretch of finishing my Civil Engineering degree and I won't let Karlach distract me (as much I love being distracted by Karlach).

I can't exactly trust my star's AI and the spheroids' main tactic is to throw wave after wave of mechs, tanks, and air support after me.

Yeah, I had higher hopes for MW5 it went in a pretty arcade like direction.

Never played it.

I've done Gal Civ and Stellaris last few decades.

I play more recent ones too--Endless Space for example--but MOO2 is my comfort food of old games.
