Maybe you just need to be pointed at the right direction.

I purchased Star Wars: Squadrons in the steam sale, it’s some of the purest fun I had with a game. Smiling from ear to ear, I can’t help but make X-wing, Tie Fighter and laser sounds while playing. It’s great fun just flying through space, blasting past a Star Destroyer and experiencing the massive scale of such a star ship.
It’s a stunning game, with some tight controls. I can only imagine how special experience it must be in VR. That said the game suffers from some odd design choice, especially when it comes to controls/gamepad options. I hoped that I could just plug in my DS4/PS4 controller and that would be it, like the case is with a lot of games. However when doing so, the game will mistake it for a flight controller, making it impossible to navigate. You have to go into Steam big picture and tell it to use the PS4 controller layout. Even then it will registrate the PS4 controller as a Xbox Controller. It’s much more useable, but you are still stuck with Xbox layout.
I wonder why even after a year, it doesn’t support the PS4 controller, Jedi Fallen Order does, Squadrons is the first game where I ran into this problem. From my knowledge, the Origin version doesn’t support anything but a flight controller.
Either way, it’s an enjoyable game and a solid Star Wars flight sim.

Bought some of the DLC for Hand of Fate 2.
This isn’t it, but I was stuck on this insanely hard encounter for an hour last night. Replaying it over and over.
17 health, against 1 necromancer 3 mages and 3 raiders.
Funny thing is, I was so focused on beating this, because the encounter I really needed to beat for a token was after this one. That one was easy.
(this probably doesn’t make sense to anyone who hasn’t played it 
)

The game was free on Playstation last month, I’m usually not a huge fan of those flying games but your enthusiasm made me curious, will give it a try!

Me neither, I hate flying in Battlefield and most games. However both this and Battlefront 2 is genuine fun, there is something awesome when it comes to controlling Star Wars ships.

I’m most of the way through Jedi: Fallen Order. I suck at it, but every once in a while I manage to accidently do something badass. 
It’s definitely not my normal kind of game, but I’m enjoying the change of pace and I think I’ll even manage to get through it without having to drop down to the super easy story difficulty.

The wife and I had so much fun doing a pass and play on that one back in January 2020. We really liked the combat mechanics

It’s a very enjoyable game, I have completed it 3 times since it came out. I plan to replay it on Jedi Grandmaster soon. I look really forward to the next instalment, I hope they will reintroduce Star Killer as an inquisitor, I would love to play as a dark side user.
It’s very rare occurrence, that I replay the same game 2 times now a days. Then again a lot of games are simply to big after Open world became the norm of action adventure.

Been goofing about in RDR2 and I managed the impossible without even trying
Getting Arthur to be fit, let alone perfect is an achievement on it’s own

I’ll try this Saturday to replay the game up to where I left off and continue Part 2 and I’ll be using my Part 1 video as a walkthrough for me

Recently played through FEAR 2 (forgot I had installed it a while back lol). Wade Elementary is definitely a stand-out, and the finale at Still Island actually gives off some nice STALKERish vibes every now and then, but otherwise the game is nowhere near as good as the first one, in a lot of ways. Definitely a product of its dark “We need a variation on CoD” times…

I bought Soma for $3 on Xbox. It’s interesting so far.
F.E.A.R 1 and 2 are among my favorite games. I miss them lol.

I am playing Slay the Spire, a fantastic cards game from an indie dev. Already played 60 hours but not tired of playing. One of the best games I played in years.

First one is great, though I kinda hate how monotonous it is in terms of environments (especially considering how much time you spend in them) and how the silent horror sequences (however great) drag on sometimes and keep you away from the fun combat. Extraction Point is better than the base game in both regards imo.
I would enjoy the second one much more if the shooting didn’t feel so meh…
Now it’s time to give the notorious third installment a go lol.

Or simply don’t and play something better that you know you’ll enjoy

Too late, already bought it, might as well invest the few hours into it 
(apparently it´s actually pretty good if you play it co-op, so maybe I should try finding someone to suffer with me?)

that’s a great game. i don’t really play digital cards games, and i’m rubbish at it, but it’s tons of fun and surprisingly deep with all the potential synergies and playstyles.
