Midnight Suns on Steamdeck (thanks again gazchap). Most fun I've had with a game for a long time. The heroes are brilliantly realised in battle, attacks feel meaty, and every mission, even just a vanilla defeat all enemies affair, always has some interesting strategic decisions to make.

Perhaps that will change as I gravitate towards specific builds and team combos, but at the moment am really enjoying it.

The stuff around the Abbey is ridiculous, obviously, but even that operates as a pleasing breather between missions.

Good god they are. If I could change one thing it would be to turn off the asides they deliver to you as you wander about. It's like a super-sycophantic Fable. I'd rather be called arse licker again.

Currently a bargainous £12 or so on Steam, for anyone interested.

Pacific Drive - I have been sucked up into an anomaly and have to escape back from this weird world by fixing stuff and scavenging parts. Also, my car is haunted.

It's a first person survival type game, only a couple of hours in. It it seems worth the £20 so far.

Think I’m about 30 hours into Diablo IV, and I’ve skipped pretty much every bit of dialogue or cut scene.

It's the best game.

I spent 230 hours beating every character on Danger 5 difficulty and then there was just a massive void in my heart because there was nothing else to do.

Sort of interested in this. Looks like it might be the closest thing to Fuel on the Xbox 360. That was apparently a racing game but for me it was just a driving game where you looked at forest fires and areas of astounding natural beauty.

I thought I was bad wanting to do Level 5 on one character then trying to do the rest on easy

Currently playing through the latest Remnant 2 DLC. It's a weird game in that it's sort of brilliant, mainly because the shooting is so satisfying, but I hate so much about it too. The weak power-ups and loot, the utterly obtuse puzzles and the Souls-like (ugh!) bosses.

Each character handles differently enough that trying to figure out a Danger 5 clear with each one sometimes feels like a different game each time. Some of them are a lot of fun, such as the Engineer. While others can be really tough such as the Streamer. There are decent guides on YouTube to point you in the right direction in terms of starting weapons and what stats to focus on for each class. It's definitely one of my favourite ever games now.

Just started playing through Project Osiris. An unofficial remake of Alien Breed 3D, but in the Doom engine. I'm actually surprised at how good it is, it feels just like playing the original... but better.

Just in the process of reviewing Roxy Raccoon's Pinball Panic. Definitely don't bother with that.

For actual gaming enjoyment I've started Humanity which is by the guy that made Rez. It's a sort of Lemmings-style puzzle game with some nice, minimalist visuals and pretty decent gameplay. Invariably though these things always start off fun and end up becoming unfathomably complex but for now I'm having some fun with it.

Just fired up Geometry Wars 3 for a bit of a blast. I’ve not played it in years but I still have plenty of scores in the top 100 on the global leaderboards.

Oh man. I loved that game. I had a top 10 on King mode back in the day but i imagine I've dropped well down the rankings now.

At the best I had top spot on two of the main 50 levels, a bunch more top tens, and plenty of others in double digits.

I reinstalled this (PS4 version) and my once top 10 King score is now in the 200s.

I fired up a bit of Pacifism mode. I think I might be addicted again!

I’ve played it a lot this week and beat a couple of scores. The one above is now 9th on the leaderboard

Post subject:  Re: What's Everyone Playing?
My best score now is 18th on stage 5 (Sapphire).

I'm 170th on the first level but playing now I can't figure out how to get three stars, let alone a good score. It's been way too long!

What am I missing?

I'll add you today, Zoidy.

Currently playing Magical Drop IV. The MD games were always good (although I preferred the spin-off Money Exchange Puzzle) and this one is probably the best of them. It's got the crispy UI and look of the recent Puyo Puyo Tetris but is a lot more fun.

Thanks. Thats given me a few more scores to chase.

I played MD2 & 3 a lot on MAME. Didn’t realise there was anything after that.

Been playing a fair bit of Zen Pinball on iPad recently. My heart sank when it flashed up I’d passed MrC’s score on Sorcerers Lair last night. Think I got over 30,000,000 so passed Lave too on the same game. Trousers score is 157,000,0000!

That's nostalgic for me because back when I was on the Xbox 360, Trousers pretty much had top score in almost every game he was on.

That's sad. I often think about MrC in spite of never knowing him. His heartfelt pleas for lifestyle change amongst others hit home, and I always feel a pang when I see his name on friend lists or leaderboards.
