Golden Sun. Josh Strife Hayes's video made me want to replay it.

Thanks and you have a good day too!

Been playing Diablo 4. Once I'm done with the season, I'll be playing Baldur's Gate 3.

I've been playing FreeDoom with some custom map wads, and suffering miserably.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I started to play No Man's Sky in the past few weeks - from absolute zero knowledge.

Also rocking the new Zelda game on Switch.

Excited to get and play the new System Shock remake and Outer Wilds.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Team Fortress 2. Been playing since launch and they recently updated the code to increase user cap so 64 player 2fort gets kinda nuts!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just started Baldur's Gate... 1. Installed Baldur's Gate 2, though, so I can jump straight into the newer one when I'm done!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You're in for a lot of gaming with those. Good luck chief! Skipped straight to 3 myself!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Metro Last Light on Steam deck and Tears of the Kingdom on Switch.

It's quite a tonal shift jumping between these two. Lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm playing through Quake 2 again since the remaster got recently released and showed up for free with my old copy of the original on Steam. It took some getting used to again at first, but it's still a well paced and satisfying game to play.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Gotta love ID and Nightdive for giving us such a faithful remaster for free! The game cleans up shockingly well!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I‘ve been playing Silent Hill 2 with my partner and a bit of Link‘s Awakening! Thanks for the giveaway! Good luck everyone!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've been playing a mix between Shadow Of Mordor and Darkside Detective for when i'm tired of killing orcs

[–] Vertelleus 1 points 1 year ago

I've been playing a mix of Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky and Fallout 76.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lately Vampire survivors has been the one I've played. Really good and also very cheap

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

i’ve been playing tears of the kingdom and apex legends

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have been playing The Medium and really enjoying it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm playing Deep Sky Derelicts! It's a sci-fi card-based exploration roguelike.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've been playing a lot of RimWorld lately! Thanks for doing this giveaway!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Been playing a lot of Remnant 2 lately, great game solo or with friends. Very cool of you to do these kinds of giveaways.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Been playing a ton of Pathfinder: Kingmaker. It's not without faults, but it scratches the DnD-adjacent itch in a great way while I wait for a sale on Baldur's Gate 3.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm playing (well trying is a better word) Homeworld remastered collection.. I'm going crazy with the camera 🤣

Before homeworld I completed halo the master chief collection.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I just starred playing the original doom on the switch. Works surprisingly well even though I'm not used to using joysticks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have been playing through Guild Wars 2 with some friends! It's been a ton of fun!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've been playing Loop Hero. A lot. And i get frustrated a lot and need some change!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

God of war, the remake. Its phenomenal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I played Figment. Received it free in the giveaway and really enjoying the puzzle solving as I'm taking a break from the AAA titles

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've been playing halo infinite the most these days. I seriously enjoyed doom, but never got around to getting doom eternal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Playing some Stardeus atm, cheers for the opportunity :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been enjoying Battlebit Remastered. It takes all the great stuff from the Battlefield games and ditches the nonsense. Just really fun and satisfying to play! Thanks for doing the giveaway :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

BattleBit has taken up a lot of my playtime this year as well. So refreshing to have games like this and Baldur's Gate that tell the "new" way of games to fuck off. No micro transactions, no battle passes, no loot boxes, no dlc, just buy the game and play the game. It's excellent and I hope more studios see that we support these games and change their ways.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for this Hyrulian!

The game I've been playing recently is Deep Rock Galactic. I didn't get into it at first, but playing with my friends has really elevated the experience. I'm also playing Smash Brothers Ultimate again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have been jumping between Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur’s Gate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Currently playing Noita! Lots of fun discovering good spell combos. Still haven't beat it yet 🐸

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I introduced my little brother to Project Zomboid yesterday!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Always a right of passage for the little brothers to get in on some Project Zombie! Have fun dying!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Baldur's Gate has been my main play the last week or two. It's a classic, and I'm probably going to play through the 2nd and the Icewind Dale games too.

Though I agree with @DreamySweet that Golden Sun is an absolute banger of a game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Instant classic for sure. I'm just reaching the monastery with my lvl 5 Bard. Still so much to do in the game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I should have specified, I'm playing BG 1. So it's a classic classic ;)

[–] voxl 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t need the game, I already have it (xbox, pc is too old now), but I just want to say thanks for doing this, this game is AMAZING. Any doom game is, IMO.

[–] secret301 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been playing Minecraft and risk of rain 2

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just got into Risk of Rain 2 after owning it for a few years thanks to a friend suggesting we play it. Such an incredible game, and the music is incredible. (Kinda like Doom Eternal!)

[–] secret301 1 points 1 year ago

Yee! The music is sooo good

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just started playing Palia. Scratching that Stardew Valley itch for now. It is free and just came out of beta. So far it's been fun exploring and crafting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was curious about this one. Might have to give it a try! Is it pretty jank right now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It is lacking features but is still fun. I wouldn't call it buggy by any means, just not polished yet. Very promising overall.

Also, I've only been playing solo, haven't tried the multiplayer aspects of the game yet.

[–] Dirk_Darkly 1 points 1 year ago

Besides Baldur's Gate 3, I have been enjoying Punch Club 2. The first one sucked me in and the second is truly living up to that legacy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've been playing Deep Rock Galactic and Stellaris recently. Thanks for offering the giveaway.
