On a sci-fi "walking simulator" games kick at the moment.

Completed Fort Solis and The Invincible over the last few days. Both are worth a punt, I particularly liked The Invincible out of the two (based on an actual novel with what I think is great voice acting).

Next up Deliver Us Mars.

Heavily modded Subnautica, though the recent update has put a number of large cats amongst the pigeons.

World of Tanks, where I occasionally play Tier 5/6 Light Tanks very poorly for my own amusement and to the dismay of my team.

Funnily enough, I've just started the invincible and I'm really enjoying the atmosphere of it.
I think I played deliver us the moon as well but got a bit bored of it when it got to some laser firing robot section. But I should revisit it because I kind of like those alone in space games.
 
Started playing Elite Dangerous at the weekend. Been on my account for ages and never got around to playing. I remember playing on the Commodore 64 all those years ago, writing down prices for all the different locations to try and make my money.
 
At the moment, World of Warships, PUBG (been playing PUBG for years).

I tried Rust recently but meh, I'm not saying it isn't a good game it's just not for me.

I was playing (and loving) Farming Simulator 25 but I was using a modded map with quite a few mods, and they updated the game and it broke something now it won't load so 200 hour save down the bin, which put me off restarting.

The Invincible is all about the story and the atmosphere and the slowly revealing tale, so whatever you do don't "read" ahead to spoiler any of it :) Regarding Deliver Us the Moon; I don't remember a problem with the laser turrets, I do remember getting a little turned with one section when on the moon's surface though and QT event just after.

I've just started No Man's Sky again. I have a bit of a concentration problem, so stuff can be a bit much. I'll have to see how I get on. Had it years and only have a few hours in it.
 
Been playing lots of Stardew Valley lately. Thinking of going for my first perfection run but it feels like bit of a long haul to get there so I might end up adandoning that idea!

Other than that been doing plenty of sim racing, mainly in RaceRoom Racing Experience.

I really like Stardew Valley. I've got hundreds of hours in it.
 
42 here, been struggling trying to find stuff to play that I enjoy.

The MMO itch came back this year, I got to end game in New World, and then later Throne & Liberty. They are both good leveling experiences, but end game is PvP focused and generally sucks, finding a chill guild in T&L was a huge bonus. I just bought into the Star Citizen Alpha to check out the tech, buggy but extremely immersive.

I find coop experiences with friends tends to be a lot better, the new PEAK is great fun with friends, so is Schedule I, even older games like Raft. But getting everyone together is rare, and there's no real public lobby system for a lot of these good coop games.

I always have some puzzle games on the go, The Rise of the Golden Idol is fantastic and I'm still finishing up the 3 DLC packs before the final drops Q4. Extremely satisfying deductive puzzles.

I miss not having a go-to online game that I love, I tried more coop ones like Helldivers 2 and Warhammer Darktide but they never quite became regulars of mine, only thing I have seen that I'm really looking forward to in the near future is Jump Space (formerly Jump Ship) a coop 1-4 player, it should get early access in 2 weeks on steam, it looks really good. Much of online multiplayer today feels like slop quite frankly.

If anyone has had a good coop or PvE experience lately please let me know. I'd love to be able to dive into a lobby online and play something that has fun moment to moment gameplay and ideally some longer term meta progression on top of that.
