What "Modern" Games Do You Play?

I love the long running MMOs.

Of course, I don't have the time to invest in such a game

Star Wars: The Old Republic may be of interest to you, you can play 8 well-written class stories plus 2 expansions for free, and solo, so you can dip in and out as you desire.

Recently started Shenzen IO from Zachtronics after finishing Exapunks. I love the "print your own feelies" approach they have.

Also have Wasteland 3 still lying her. I made a bare map for WL3 from the resource files in 8-bit style and plan to fill it in over the course of my play.

And the third of the new Shadowrun games (Hong Kong). I stopped chasing the high framerate hungry kind of games a few years ago which made upgrading my PC so much cheaper :-)

I have looked at it several times, seeing as I am a huge Star Wars fan. May have to check it out again.

Though recently, I have been playing a lot more "retro" games than anything else. Now that I have my Raspberry Pi (RetroPie) setup and configured how I want it, I got all the controllers I want, I have spent more time on that than my actual desktop PC. lol

Isn't that the one where a community patched a lot of cut content back in?

I think that was the single player "Knights of the Old Republic" game... but I may be mistaken. I know there are unofficial community patches for that one.

I think you're thinking of KotOR II.

I play Animal Crossing New Horizons daily (10-15 minutes a day). Played all the versions since Gamecube. Started playing the game back in the day because I read it was similar to Little Computer People...

And the masterpiece that is The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild on the weekends. What a wonderful game.

Not much other than that. Maybe I fire OpenEmu from time to time on my Mac if I want to play some old arcade, or old game...

Rocket League. About 20 hours a week for the past 2 years. I'm rather obsessed.

I recently picked up this viking survival game on Steam called "Valheim". An open, procedural generated world, survival game done proper. Very fun and very addictive.

It's still in early access, but this developer seems to genuinely care about their game and are working hard to make it as good as they can, a rarity these days in my humble opinion. They are doing so well in fact that it's sold something like 5 million copies and has a 96% Steam rating with over 150,000 reviews and counting. It's all well deserved, the game is insanely fun if you like this genre, and I do. Impressive for a game that was just released to Steam on Feb 2, 2021.

My wife and I have both been playing it a lot, fun but difficult, just how I like it! I have just under 50 hours into it as of this moment and I already feel like I got my $20 worth of enjoyment.
