What are you playing right now?

I needed a break from Judgment and popped in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. I often forget how much I enjoy these games. They don’t quite offer the freedom of your GTAs and such (somehow a decade later you still aren’t allowed to kill civilians and anything resembling a wanted level is basically gone), but the minute to minute traversal, stealth, combat loop is extremely enjoyable.
 
Digimon story cyber sleuth is a good game. I'm only at chapter 3 for the moment but it's addicting as hell. Definitely satisfied my smt fix with how the evolve/devolve system works, albeit too grindy at times.
While the main story is baller however, this game has one of the worst side quest system in video game history. You receive quest in the real world and solve them in cyber world. Sound cool in theory but somehow they decided that only allowing 1 quest at a time was a good idea. So you constantly have to jump back and forth. The worst offender are the lost item quests. You're required to check every millimeter of the dungeon with no hint or indication whatsoever about where that is. You found it, receive the reward, then accept the quest from another asshole who also lost his item at that very same place, so you go back in and search from start to finish again. One. At. A. Time.
 
Final Fantasy XIV on the regular because I've lost control of my life.

Slowly working through FE 3 Houses on the side.
 
Greedfall. It's alright, but the difficulty is definitely unbalanced. In one quest I am good for six or seven hits. Next one I get one shot. If it wasn't for the fact that I have played a lot of bloodborne, I wouldn't be able to clear some of these.
 
Skyrim, Legacy of the Dragonborn mod. Bethesda needs to hire mod authors, they're better at making content (and bug testing).
 
just played some counter-strike global offensive (almost supreme btw)

might hit up osrs or black ops 2 zombies
 
Dwarf fortress, getting ready for the kiwi farms community 2020 succession fort!

I lost a legendary miner. He didn’t fall in lava or drown or get killed in battle... I forgot to keep an eye on him when he was crafting a legendary artifact and it seems he was missing something (probably metal) and went apeshit. Took 3 dwarfs to take him down but not before he ripped out someone’s Adam’s apple first.

You will be missed Orewind Urest. Now in the pit with the rest of corpses.

A friend lent me his copy of God of War 2018. It’s okay. I’m not really fond of this over the shoulder camera in hand to hand combat. It makes it hard to tell where enemies are.
 
Playing Fallout New Vegas again. Decided to try the pacifistic route to dealing with the Nightkin at the Repconn site, which required stealth boys and sneaking around. Never did this in any of the playthroughs I did before, so it was kinda refreshing.
 
Playing some games I haven't touched in years, first among them being Alien Isolation. Still holds up good.
 
Just finished Borderlands 3 last night, and I plan to wrap up the sidequests and move on to True Vault Hunter Mode. I'll get myself up to the level cap, and then wait it out for the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode and the season pass on sale. It's a good game, but I don't want to invest too much in finding weapons that'll get outdated in the future.
 
I'm finally trying to go through my unfinished games and I'm starting on Bioshock Infinite tonight. Last time I played it I got bored pretty quickly for some reason and I can't even remember where I was so I'm just starting over.
 
Greedfall. It's alright, but the difficulty is definitely unbalanced. In one quest I am good for six or seven hits. Next one I get one shot. If it wasn't for the fact that I have played a lot of bloodborne, I wouldn't be able to clear some of these.

Have you seen Skillups review? I haven't personally played it but according to him light and medium armor types aren't designed to be viable and you pretty much need to spec heavy or be 1-2 shot.
 
Rage 2. It’s a decent time-killer, nothing special about it, though. I got it through Xbox Game Pass, and I probably would have been annoyed if I bought it at even half price, since it comes across as something I will complete in a couple of weeks and then later forget.
