Software Inc (Early access since 2015) Raft (EA since 2018, full release 2022)
just finished another solid bloodborne playthrough, gotta love the logarius wheel and whirligig saw
RDR2 and Factorio
Victoria 2. I like 3, but I've got a heavily modded megacampaign with my friends going and I don't know 3 well enough to tweak it yet. 2 is still a great game.
Also Assetto Corsa. Competizione looks fun but I like driving stuff other than GT cars
AC Origins
Replaying hollow knight ahead of the imminent release of silk song. It’s so close that I can taste copper.
Damn, as desperate as we elden ring fans were for dlc, I can only imagine and pour one out for what hollow knight fans are going through. Hoping you guys get a release date soon!
I've been replaying red dead 2 which turns 6 this year :P
Apparently, for me, the better question is, "Which games newer than 6 years are you playing?" It turns out I dont play many new games, just Elden Ring and Jedi Fallen Order ( which is 5 years old even). Deep rock might squeeze in there, but it just turned 6 years old
Titanfall 2
Battlefield 3 or 4 and Halo MCC. Also Skullgirls.
I'm never not playing Skullgirls. Somehow still going, Marie DLC just dropped last week.
Took about a decade off gaming and Needed some "new" games in the pandemic. Bought some new games last year, Skyrim ultimate everything in a bundle, also bought Fallout 3-new Vegas bundles. Skyrim was awesome and I played it for about a year, FO 3 was ok, loving 4, heard New Vegas is the best.
Other than that I play super old school, emulator games for SNES, N64 when I have a bit of time.
I have a weird philosophy where I don't try things until they're about 10 years old, games, TV shows, etc. I figure I am pretty much guaranteed an epic experience if people are still talking about it at that point.
Gran Turismo 4
Just recently I started replaying “VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action”. I'm also working on Rune Factory 4 Special - the remake is only 4 years old, but the original is from 2012. I still periodically fire up Castle Crashers from time to time, and I have yet to give up on my much-procrastinated attempt at Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (the Xbox 360 version).
There are many others, but that's just off the top of my head.
MHW and Warframe
Xonotic: om, well it’s based on the darkplaces engine, so yeah, I mean Xonotic in a way is basically as old as 3D multiplayer shooters.
Eador Genesis: like a tighter heroes of might and magic or kings bounty, great with the New Horizons mod.
Beyond All Reason: the latest evolution in a series of Total Annihilation inspired RTS games built on an open source engine.
WinspWW2: a derivative of Steel Panthers, an old DOS hex turn based tactical war game. Yeah there are newer turn based strategy games and perhaps more elegant systems like Combat Mission’s or Operation Flashpoint Red Storm’s simultaneous turns, but the fact stands that WinspWW2 and WinspMBT are from certain perspectives the deepest turn based tactics video games in existence, realistic or not.
Original Peggle and Peggle nights: What do I even need to say, perfection.
Brigador Up Armored Edition: Top down isometric cyberpunk dystopia mech/tank quasi-twin stick shooter. This game is an absolute gem.
Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead: the most interesting open world survival game period, yeah the graphics… barely qualify as graphics but the gameplay and complexity/variety of procedural generation is simply nowhere even close to being matched by any other open world rpg/survival game.
Also a big peggle fan! Have you tried Roundguard? Doesn't match the perfection of Peggle but it's very fun.

Rocket League. I probably play a solid 3 hours of that every single week, and have done for the last two years. Before those two years I probably played a solid 7-8 hours a week. It's my forever game, the game I play when I'm bored, the game I play when I've got a lot on my mind and just want to fill the void in my head with something safe and easy.
I like playing rocket league because it connects me with one of my past lives where I was reincarnated as a rocket soccer car and lived a short but glorious life of rocketing balls, many many eons ago when the universe was still new and full of rocket soccer cars.
I don’t play rocket league superrr often but when I do it sends me right back to that previous reincarnation and it feels like it was only yesterday I was slurping up golden boost juice, slamming aerial shots and trashtalking fools by using friendly chat reactions in a sarcastic fashion.
Rocket league is like riding a bike, the feeling never leaves you.
GZDoom! It just doesn't get boring to shoot demons for half an hour. I'm playing Volatile Material and Doom Infinite at the moment.
Star Wars the old republic.
I played the absolute FUDGE out of KoToR back in the day, and played SWTOR at launch. But coming back to it after a decade plus just lets me enjoy the story. I won't say its a perfect MMO, because its just not. But oh gawd does the story get good!
