What videogames are you playing in 2025?

(The cheapest game on my Steam wishlist right now is Fallout 3. The Ultimate Edition is $35. Even that is probably too much to justify right now.)

It is NextFest. Download some demos!

I know the feeling. Currently trying to get back into Cyberpunk 2077, weaning myself off my favoured hacker play style in favour of a more stealth / agility build. Just getting to the end of the prologue.

At this point it's probably worth holding out for the enhanced edition in a couple of years.

I paused my current Streetkid re-play to wait for the new patch in a couple weeks.

Currently playing Armored Core VI. As much as I'm a huge Soulsborne fan, this is the first time I've played an Armored Core. It kinda feels like what I pictured Battletech looking like in my head when I was a kid. Though I do wish the color palette wasn't so grey and washed out in a lot of the levels. Ah well, I can try to make up for it with my orange and yellow AC.

Probably going to wrap up at least the main story of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 tonight after work, and as long as it sticks the landing (and I have no reason to think they wont) this is definitely going to be an all-timer. Probably going to break into my Top 5. God damn this game.

Yeah, I might do that. Currently mostly enjoying my playthrough, but really not liking the vehicular combat, which wasn't a thing last time I played. Getting to the point where I use the public transit fast-travel more than my car.

Unless I've got a weaponized car or am working with a netrunner build, yeah, I find vehicle combat a little rough.

I'm thinking of playing Baldur's Gate 3. Is it complex for someone who hasn't played computer games actively since Diablo II?

I'm mostly back to Deep Rock Galactic these days. Somehow I can't muster the motivation to play longer and/or more complex games, but fitting half an hour of mining and Glyphid killing into my schedule here and there is manageable. And while I initially bounced off solo play, it's actually not so bad once you have leveled up your weapons a bit (coop is still more fun, though).

Its complexity is mostly the 5E ruleset. The rest of it you should be fine with.

There are a lot of options, but the learning curve is reasonable and much of it will be very familiar if you've played D&D.

EDIT: And I like Splattercat's channel too. He covers a lot of cool games

I love his taste in games. That nasal American whine drives me bonkers though. Why couldn’t he be a sexy German or Finn or something?
