You dismissed one of the best games this decade as a fetish sim because the player character is a sexy robot?

Au contraire monsieur. I would have done that, but everyone told me that it was very good so I believed them and played it. Try as I might it made me uncomfortable despite my best efforts so I continue to acknowledge it’s a great game and read what people say about it. I just determined it wasn’t for me.
Many do this for one of my favourite games, Dwarf Foretress. I just don’t hold it against them, or post memes meant to embarrass them.

To be fair. I dismissed Neir: Automata because I though the enemies, background, and gameplay looked really uninteresting to me. However, the main character had one of the nicest rendered asses I’ve ever seen in a video game.
I am really enjoying dying a hundred times in Divine Divinity OS 1. Though I can’t imagine having to reload so many times would be fun in co-op mode.

if you like original sin 1, you’re going to have a blast in 2. I’m playing 2 with a group of coworkers right now and it’s a fantastic time.
Started playing with @Apreche we’ll have to try and play some more when I get done one, though we are playing undead :-p so occasionally we just get attacked randomly.
We should start again as normal people.

I know in DOS:II Armor of frost is basically required for undead. People who love standing in poison tend to find themselves spontaneously on fire pretty consistently.
Skellingtons get Free health potions in DOS:II; people need to burn mushrooms for that nonsense.
One thing I am starting to realize is while my main character is talking I can move the rest of the party into battle position. So if a fight has dramatic dialogue it just means I get to place my party members in better spots.

“Hope is a mathematical certainty”
I have been given a strange brooch as the only lead to find a missing scholar, my trail has led me to a farming moon full of paranoid locals, and a figurine hidden amongst the bushes gave me the radiation analysis that sent me into a maelstrom. Amongst the barren moons I found a trail of clues leading me to an abandoned house on a dead planet and I may have just discovered literally the most important artifact in an ancient civilization’s history. Punctuated with a discussion over whether it’s safe to jump onto a crumbling roof in which my robot companion uttered the words “hope is a mathematical certainty”. And the entire time I’m slowly unraveling a dead language with the most innovative “translation” gameplay I’ve ever seen
This game is amazing. I’m only 1.5 hours in and I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface . This is the most incredible archaeology/visual novel/Bioware-like game I’ve ever seen. Seriously, go check this out. I’m floored by how fluid and intuitive they’ve made a game with this many moving parts. Oh right, it’s called Heaven’s Vault

Went back to Slay the Spire since I heard there was a new character. (And also my computer could run it again.)
The watcher is pretty neat. I’m currently in the test build so I don’t know how much will make it to the final build, but I like what I’ve seen so far.
Being able to scry your cards helps against monsters that like to spam your deck with status cards is extremely useful.
I’ve been playing Fallout 4, though largely to build a broken character that can survive a nuke to the face and beat death claws to death with her bare hands.

Taking a break before I go back into Disco Elysium with a Judge Dredd build and instead playing some Stellaris again while I REALLLY cannot wait for the Federations DLC to finally drop.
Rogue-likes. Rogue Legacy and 20XX.
I am absolutely horrible at them.
Playing a shit ton of Stardew Valley. Let me know if anyone wants to start an FRCF farm together.
Putting a bit more time into Shadow Tatics: Blades of the Shogun which as far as steal games go is pretty stellar so far. I see a lot of comparisons to the Commando series which is a bit before my time. Game as a great way of telling you to quicksave/save-scum runs so it ruins any feeling of guilt for scumming out levels because this game is difficult. With how far the cones of vision are and how intricate the search patterns get it feels like a big accomplishment to get even one goon to break away to their doom. The isometric RTS stye took a bit of getting used to but the controller support helped a lot.
Technically since I’ve been playing it pretty much ever day for two years I am also playing Tekken 7. I bodied a lot of people at Magfest but there are some killers back home. It’s still probably the best active fighting game on the market today.
