What are you playing right now?

I'm mostly playing World of Tanks PC and Elite Dangerous. I blow my stack playing tanks and then cool off in deep space doing some exploration or space trucking.

I like to load up GTA4 and go on a 6 star shooting/destruction spree about every 2 weeks. I love how varied and realistic the AI is. Why was GTA5 such a step down in variability and intelligent AI?
 
World of Horror, a heavily Junji Ito inspired horror adventure roguelike presented as a fake MSX game. The game's greatest strength and weakness is staying true to the MSX aesthetic down to ghosting the cursor when it moves, but you tune it out after a few minutes. If that description sounds interesting, keep it on your radar and come back when it gets a full release; right now there's a lot of plot arcs that start and never resolve because the second part of them isn't in the game yet and it's really frustrating to have to learn that from the wiki.

I did get to beat the shit out of a BBS server with a baseball bat as part of the plot though, so that's something.

I’m playing the original ff7 now because I just finished the remake and it left an awful taste in my mouth. The last chapter was just awful imo. I’m having fun with the original one so far! Just finished the midgar section so I’m excited to see where the game goes from here !!
Edit: spelling lol

Working on both Kirby: Planet Robobot and the Trials of Mana remake.

This Kirby is the most fun I've had with the series in ages. While still really easy, it manages to make the collectable hunting fun and the powers are generally interesting with just a few duds. They'll never top Superstar, but this is a great entry.

Trials of Mana is very simple and easy to play. I was kind of expecting a bit more, really. The story is super basic and pretty well just railroads you with pushing you in a straight line until you get to where you need to go. Voice acting is also hilariously bad.

Played through the entirety of ICO in one sitting after not touching the game for four years. Damn it feels good to come back to this game. This and Shadow of the Colossus pretty much hit all the right notes for me.

Shadow of the Colossus was amazing.

I tried a little of Mario+Rabbids when it came out but never really got into it. Just recently I've gotten back into it and it's actually more fun once you have more characters and the skill tree unlocked. The Toad escort missions in 2-3 and 2-4 were a little annoying but it was also interesting working it like a puzzle to be solved rather than a standard battle.

Not my favorite Mario game, but one of the few turn based games I've enjoyed.

I originally sold my copy to a friend for $50 and then rebought it recently for $15 on sale.

I don’t know if I’m an idiot or what (ok, I do know), but for whatever reason, I find the battles in this game so much harder than in most Xcom-likes. I think it’s just because my instinct is to turtle in these games and there’s so much movement, but I am constantly getting injured and unable to heal enough.
 
I know I'm like.. five years too late to the party but I decided to finally play The Witcher 3. I don't normally enjoy Western RPGs but I can really get my teeth into this. I wish I'd played this a long time ago

Yeah, it's one of those games where you're better spreading out and moving around. I personally find it easier than other strategy games I've played, I think because there's less variables and it's more streamlined.

Playing through 13 Sentinels and that game is a mind fuck. The battles seem alright so far but haven't dove deep into it yet because I want to keep playing story sections. Almost every story chunk ends with me going "wait, what the fuck?" in the best possible way.
 
I've been playing War Thunder a lot. It has fun things like tanks, planes and ships, but I hate the community of retards and perpetually smug dipshits. Also the balancing is terrible and the maps are abyssmal. It's not fast or slow paced, it's just stupid in my opinion.
 
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and holy SHIT is it kicking my ass. I'm struggling with Dark Souls muscle memory, and I keep thinking 'roll away to recover stamina ROLL AWAY TO RECOVER STAMINA' only to remember there is no stamina. That said, it is crazy satisfying to take down some of the bigger enemies. The fight with Gyoubu was probably my favorite part so far.

Does anyone have any advice for that Ashina Elite guy you meet at the top of the Ashina Castle? Can you take him out as soon as you meet him, or are you supposed to come back later?
 
I am going for the platinum trophy on Ys Origin. Defeating Boss Rush on Nightmare is proving to be a bitch of a trophy, but winners never quit and I am now able to make it to the final boss on that mode with Hugo before being utterly annihilated
 
Right now I am playing PUBG, Asphalt 8, and call of duty mobile. These games are just fun for me. I spend my free time in these games. So, these are source of entertainment.

Just finished Yggdra Union. The PSP version turned out to be really easy, but at least I've unlocked hard mode now.
 
I also got a new pair of shmups recently. Zero Ranger for PC and Ketsui Deathtiny for PS4. Both are well worth it but super tricky.
