Demon's Souls (the remake). I am really impressed by how good it looks, and I can hardly put it down.
What are you playing right now?

Just finished Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. Great little metroidvania with a lot of heart behind it. Would recommend.

Ghost of Tsushima, I'd recommend it but I swear a good eight percent of this game is following foxes around.

Amazing combat, but yes, following the foxes around and even watching those few seconds of their jumping gets on your nerves after the 15th time.

Trying to Platinum Nioh 2 currently on way of the wise. Next up is Judgement and fucking around with the Sim Settlements 2 mod for Fallout 4.
It's almost -35 out here so I have literally nothing to do but play vidya.

Salve friends. I'm playing Expeditions: Rome. An RPG that uses a grid like combat system with map movement taken from the Total War series.
One thing I'll say about it is how immersive it is. Most of the dialog is in english but the writers go the extra step to insert Latin where possible. For instance, people comment rightly why is a woman commanding a legion in Asia Minor if you choose to play as a female character but when you whip them into shape and take on Mithridates, they stop complaining. Back in Rome though, the senator's don't take too kindly to that thing so it takes some extra maneuvering to secure your position. The writers wrote two different situations, male and female, on how that encounter would go for "historical accuracy," and I appreciate writing like that.
There's also looting all kinds of mythical weapons for your character to use, like a Blood Raven. So far I've got Serpico's Helmet, Armor received from Cleopatra, Achilles's spear, Persus's sword and shield and Caeser's shortsword.
It does take some liberties with the setting but they try and sell it to you as much as they can, like a homebrew historical D&D campaign.
Combat is okay, you will need bandages for healing and you won't get more till you upgrade the forge which will take a bit.
As AA THQN titles go, it's pretty good and not buggy at all, not as buggy as Spellforce 3 was on launch.

Someone reminded me so I hopped back on Tribes 2. Man, brings back memories.
A lot of people online nowadays know Tribes through Ascend but don't realize the sheer fun of the Torque engine. You could literally have maps that took hours to cross. That combined with numerous easily-made mods (such as The Construction Mod, which is a predecessor to shit like Garry's Mod for HL2), made for some fun times.

I've just completed Valkyrie Profile 2 after shelving the game for like a decade. Outside of that I've just been playing AOE 2 and Notia.

Needy Streamer Overload, because all my favourite vee-tubers are playing it!
It was fun for the first few hours, but that's about it.

Sonic & All Star Racing Transformed (WiiU). I played the 3DS port, but it always kept crashing/freezing with graphical glitches.. So far it's only done that once on the WiiU.
It's breddy gewd. Stages are pretty creative and some of the songs to them are kick-ass (That Shinobi one in particular). The mods you unlock to change your characters stats are nice, but not perfect. The way you unlock things is a little meh with the whole "World Tour" since the more you play it, the more you realize that you can't use one character to 3 star everything. I've been using Ulala, and her speed mod seems to be the only useful one (Her Dreamcast mod kills her fucking handling, but maxes out the boost stat), and even that doesn't help since there's always one character (it's always random, for me it was either Kid Alex, Tails, or Danica Patric) that's a bajillion miles ahead of you so by the time you did catch up, the race was almost over.
I still say Mario Kart is the better racing game. The 150+ cc races were challenging but not unfair and i could use one character to clear them all, not to mention the customizable karts are way better than mods.

After finishing 2 playthroughs of Deus Ex: Human Revolution (a blind first run then a nonlethal-hacker build), I jumped into Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and was sorely disappointed. I hated every single aspect of MD so much so that I promptly deleted it after the (unskippable!) end credits were done rolling, HR on the other hand I absolutely loved start to finish and I plan on doing a perfect stealth run to get that platinum. I haven't played the original Deus Ex yet, but when I eventually do I'm playing GMDX.

I tried the original version of Human Revolution on a whim a few years ago and loved it so much I got every single achievement, which I rarely ever go for. I stopped playing Mankind Divided after the first level. Hated how they went from the dark futuristic nighttime atmosphere of the first game to doing missions and running around in broad daylight right off the bat. I want to give it another try someday, but IDK, I've never really heard anyone say anything good about it haha. I've been eyeing this copy of The Director's Cut of Human Revolution at the place I get my physical games. I might get that instead.
