Palworld! Couldn't stop playing it with my friends, it was such a blast! I say "was", because we quickly all got to level 50 and now we're waiting for a big update that'll make the game fresh again!

Path of Exile.
Still am, but used to be too. Eagerly anticipating poe2 release.
I think there are two answers to this.
The most recent game I was completely captivated by and just obsessed with was Subnautica. I was deep into it in 2022.
The most recent one I spent a long time playing is Satisfactory, I started my most recent run in mid-December and completed it a week or two ago. Satisfactory didn't quite grab me the way Subnautica did in terms of loving this world, but I get into it. I had a goal of 100% full clearing it including buying all the trophies before it was out of early access, so I did.
RDR2
How is it so far?
I started playing RDR2 in 2022 but I felt it to be so cumbersome. Running around on horse doing shit that doesn't matter.
Maybe I am not recollecting it correctly. Just wanted to know more about it from you.
It took a while to get going, but eventually the story worked well to pull me in. I was hooked on the character development and the plot.
The world is so vivid and beautiful too. Lots of things to look for, hunt, explore, etc. I really liked it.
I also had my character grow a big mustache. My wife won't let me do that so I lived vicariously through the game for that too.
Haha. Superb. Will give it a shot again.
I guess Dark Cloud 2 (aka Dark Chronicles) again, because I'm playing it again and I'm hooked.
Rain World.
I have some spoilers (including the gist of the ending) but am playing as blind as I can manage. Itβs nice to just play and discover without having a guide by my side.
You spelled current wrong.
Right now itβs brawlhalla, free smash clone on steam.
βJust one more gameβ
Stardew Valley
League of Legends. Please send help.
I used to enjoy trying to get better at that game.
But once they went hardcore on their kernel-level "We're basically admins on your machine" anti-cheat I just uninstalled and dumped it. :(
The e-sport teamplay quality of it was really neat though and I loved the characters. I'll always miss Lux-sniping LOL.
Probably Gregtech Community Pack
SimCity 3K - played it for YEARS, was involved heavily into the modding communities and basically thought of nothing else.
Even after pouring thousands of hours into the game, I don't feel like it was wasted time.
Noita - for the longest time the addiction was something along the lines of not letting this 'simple' game beat me, and damn does it beat you...
Then I finally had my first God run breaking the reroll machines and oh my fuck it's like crack. I've been chasing that dragon ever since.
World of warcraft. With season 4 coming out soon and spending time with guildies doing mount achievements, I'm getting hyped for new stuff to do
Same deal, but FFXIV for me, DawnTrail is kookin' juicy.
I totally binged Alan Wake 1 in like 2 days. Then spent a while enveloped by Alan Wake 2! Part 2 really got the AAA treatment. It was funny, spooky, actiony. Lots of stuff to explore, the characters play differently.
I also didn't realize Control was part of the story, so now I gotta go play that!
I did the opposite and played Control first, so now I have the Alan Wake stuff to play.
Control is great. In my top 5.
Kenshi, and I still am. Before that it was Stellaris. Singleplayer sandbox with modding is basically what does it for me.
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
It has a special place for me because a long time ago, when I was younger, I had R&C Size Matters as the only game on my PSP and that's because I bought the PSP in a bundle
And that was the only R&C game I played until Rift Apart and that shit hit me like that scene in the end of Ratatouille mfer
Finally played Half-Life 2 recently. Best shooter I have ever played.
Runescape/Old school runescape
Been playing since 2009. Sure I've taken breaks, sometimes multiple years, but I always return.
The old saying is true, "You never quit runescape, you just take breaks"
Currently obsessed with BG3 and getting back into Hyper Light Drifter. It just feels too satisfying to go sicko mode on a room full of assholes and then grumpily stick my sword in the ground.
+1 for HLD also excited for Hyper Light Breaker!
I have a lot of trust in Heart Machine, at the same time I wasn't that into Solar Ash. HLD has such a tightness of vision and execution in terms of aesthetic, world building, and gameplay. How that translates to a procedurally generated open world BotW-like is beyond me, but I'll probably give it a go.
