What videogames are you playing in 2025?

[Kaodi]

I do have a problem with not finishing RPGs but I've had it since there were videogame RPGs, which is I get to some major "no turning back" point or big story point (often but not always pretty late in the game) and then I decide it's not time to do that yet and end up stopping playing rather than going forwards! I've been getting better at forcing myself through that point and finished BG3 and Elden Ring, and I expect to finish Avowed the same way. My second BG3 full playthrough (Honor Mode) is paused at the end of Act 2 because I kind of am overwhelmed by the idea of having to do Act 3 again. I've got 400 hours total on Skyrim (various versions) and I still have never finished Skyrim or even seen like, "the last mission". I should fix that one day.

BG3 is truly ridiculously long though. It's trivially easy for a playthrough to stretch out to 120+ hours, without even finding or doing everything!

RPGs in generally have been getting longer since The Witcher 3 (which was also ludicrously long), as for some reason that's been used as a benchmark of quality, even though in many cases it's more of a "this soup is terrible and there's not enough of it!" situation. I honestly hope we see more trending back towards 30 hours full playthrough, 60 hours completionist.

I just recently discovered that Kentucky Route Zero is included with my Netflix subscription and playing it all the way through will take about 12 hours, which is great news.

I got that on release. Burnt out years ago but it well keep you busy for years.

I only have 2000 hours. Another 4000-6000 to go I guess.

Yeah, I tend to struggle especially on particularly long video game RPGs when I get close to the end. I completed basically every side quest in Cyberpunk 2077, just barely started the DLC, and then stopped playing. I'm very close to the end of Baldur's Gate 3 and I'm finding it increasingly more difficult to pick it back up.

You trickster! I'm like 70-odd percent of the way through Avowed! If I reinstall Skyrim and a million mods I'll go play that instead! Then Avowed will be unfinished!

Maybe after I am done with Avowed!

How is Avowed? It's been tempting me, but the reviews seem rather mixed.

Really? I've heard almost nothing but great things about it...

All I get is a little bathroom time to play Plants vs Zombies on my phone.

One of the best games of all time, hands down.

I mostly play mobile games these days.
Marvel Snap and Pokemon Pocket.
