I've been working my way through Half-Life Opposing Force. It is harder than the base game, but I do enjoy it. It has a lot of ideas like the squad mechanics that would be great to see reworked.
Cyberpunk 2077
Talos Principle 2! Man, what a banger.
Tap for spoiler
The mind transfer puzzles are kicking my ass though
Dragon Age: Origins. Never got around to finishing it before.
Baldur's Gate 3.
Helldivers 2
Cat Quest 3 on the Switch with my wife
Path of Exile 2 👍
Timberborn! I do love those beavers.
Baldurs Gate 3 split screen with my wife.
Satisfactory
Good choice. I've been going back and forth between Timberborn and Satisfactory for about the past month.
I played Balatro with my brother (we put in up on a TV)
When a new game comes out, I'm compelled to play the earlier entries in the series first, so I got the Borderlands collection, and I'm playing through the first game now.
Everytime a new Borderlands game comes out (just the major ones), I've replayed the original before getting into the new one. All the sequels have at least one interesting variation on the formula, but none have matched the atmosphere and pacing of the original for me.
Of any game? Codenames. Was playing with family when the clock struck midnight.
Of computer games, it was probably Kerbal Space Program, which I've just started to get into again over Christmas for the first time in years.
I just started getting into Deadlock and that was the last game I played in 2024. However, I only played for about an hour. Before that, in the same afternoon I played Foxhole for about four hours and Balatro for two.
Vacation ends the moment I put my phone down and go to sleep... It was a good time.
Edit: Ah I forgot we played Jack Box at the party I went to leading up to midnight. Does that count?
Dishonored! Playing the whole series over again.
Heavily modded Risk of Rain 2, because somehow it’s still a delightful gem
A Traveller character creation session.
Minecraft with my kid
creative mode Java through Prism on Steam Deck, connecting to vanilla self-hosted server
Grim Dawn
I brought in the new year playing Fire Emblem: Awakening (which I've been obsessed with after finally getting it working on an emulator). I'd been struggling with lunatic mode but I figured out I can just feed Robin because of the XP boost and then use her to carry the team. Changed her to Pegasus Knight and then Dark Flier and now I can just swoop in and one-shot any enemy and she's over-levelled enough that the enemies won't prioritize her, and if they do, she dodges everything and has enough HP to survive a bow to the face.
The early levels were very challenging and I had to heavily abuse save states but once I got rolling it's been a lot smoother. The two cavaliers you start with literally can't survive a single hit starting out. Since everyone's so vulnerable, you just have to get one unit good asap to avoid relying on your Jagen.
Just bought my self Lies Of P for Christmas. Didnt finished it yet but it was the last game ive started in 2024
I've been playing a LOT of arma 3 rpg's. So fun trying to smuggle drugs across the map before the police figure out what's going on.
Next year I'll probably move over to a larger playbase game with similar gameplay loop, maybe EVE online
Return to Moria for me. I picked it up for free from Epic recently and it's all I've played since. Going solo and I just made it to the Pilgrim Road waypoint.
Helldivers 2
For liber-tea!!!
TOTK
A Shelter Full of Cats I'm a sucker for any game from Devcats.
god of war ragnarok. it will be the first of 2025 too while I finish off the berserkers
Last game I finished was Veilguard. Pretty close to EoY. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, and the difficulty falls off a cliff as a mage when you get life steal, but it wasn't bad. The romance with Neve was entirely too... unromantic, and PG-13 though. Very disappointing. No intimacy.
Then I started CrossCode and it's been good. Feels like a mix of old snes games (Zelda, lufia2) and MMO, without the annoying parts like other players. The puzzles also aren't very hand holdy, which is nice. I feel like a lot of games are too aggressive with their "HEY IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN SLIDE THAT BRICK. HEY I BET FIRE MELTS ICE."
NES Tetris. I have a little emulator device that looks like a Game Boy Advance SP, and that's been my go to while I'm traveling
Generation Zero
Archaelund
WH40K: Chaos Gate
Cookie Clicker... Lol
Path of exile 2
Ghost of Tsushima on the PC. 90 fps (most of the time) 4K.
The gameplay is really to my taste, so I am planning on playing this one for a while.
That's one of my all time favorites. The combat is just so polished and satisfying and the graphics are incredibly beautiful.
Automobilista 2 - Caterham racing around Oulton Park as the clock hit midnight.
Earlier in the evening I played the latest Mario Party and some Jackbox games with the fam.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.
Not that I play a lot. I was just trying it, but it happened to be the last one I played last year.
It's only 10pm in my timezones and I'm playing LA Noire.
