I feel like I'm... done with gaming?

I think I've found the 'trick' to these dry spells, I've turned to console, sitting on the sofa playing a relaxed game for a few hours certainly helps with the fix. There is just nothing on PC that I'm obsessed with right now.

I've got a PS4 and an XBOXOne X. Unless it's a driving game I hate using a controller

Bought the Halo master chief edition and it's terrible.

I've always enjoyed using controller even on PC unless it's FPS or the game is specifically designed for mouse and keyboard.

I too have the PS4 Pro, Xbox One X and also the wife and I both have a switch. I think it's more the idea chilling on the sofa that's relighting my gaming flame.

I have like a hundred games in my Steam library and have problem only put significant time into 5 of them? I get bored very easily these days at age 39. Really the only thing that keeps my interest is the dopamine hit from PUBG. Outsmarting/out-maneuvering other people is still very fun.

It may seem an obvious thing to say, but it might be an idea to put the keyboard and mouse away for the summer and get into something else for a while?

Ok, summers over!

I recently played through Divinity OS 2 and thoroughly enjoyed it, sinking over 100hrs in. But now I'm lost for what to replace it with.

I've got £50 Steam credit and can't spend it. The reason I've got this credit is because I've bought and refunded the following:

Sekiro™: Shadows Die Twice (no UW support, locked to 60fps)
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (graphics from 2000, another locked at 60fps with no UW support)
Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition (inspired by my enjoyment of Divinity 2 but alas, it's too old)
A Plague Tale: Innocence (a total hand holder)
Kenshi (I was just lost and it looked awful)

Help me spend my £50; what have you bought and enjoyed recently?

Get wow classic.

Get beer.

Get crisps.

Load up wow classic.

Wave goodbye to life.

Depends if you like quick reaction difficult games but I hadn't played a game properly in a long time and bought Sekiro (PS4) and am really enjoying it. I play casually though so I've been stuck on a boss for a while I keep going back losing a few times and giving up for a week or two. It's fun though despite that.

BG series is some of the best gaming ever to be had when gaming was created.

Do not pass up on due to its age,

It truly is tempting to purchase a flight stick kit.

I started playing wow classic again, 31 years old. The nostalgia was amazing.

Then I hit STV on my warrior and I just don't have the will to go on. Started a warlock which is more fun, but I'm afraid I'm going to hit stv and feel like killing myself again due to the ganking.

I have a ps4 pro which I played the uncharted series on, completed crash bandicoot but can't bring myself to do anything else. I really enjoyed wow, but thinking about end game, I'm not going to have time to raid with a family and self employment.

Ever thought of trying DCS? Highly rewarding combat simulator.

Pillars of Eternity?

I took a generous break, and then Borderlands 3 dragged me back kicking and screaming

I'm only 37 though.

Um the opposite here. Since I was a PS One and PS2 kid, every game that allow controller, controller it is.
I know the precision isn't the same, but I'm not into the online playing, and as such, controller is just fine. Using the XBOX for PC.

Same, any game other than Cities Skylines is controller all the way for me. God knows how anyone can play Cities on console using a controller, beyond me.

Just SimCity using keyboard and mouse.

Tried it, graphics are too outdated for me.

Drumroll · 30 Sep 2019 at 16:24

But some people are old school and fast enough. I don't have the skills, must confess. But using controller I'm not that bad.

I 100%'d Sekiro and really liked it, same with Bloodstained (you have to be a fan of Castlevania for this) so our tastes clearly aren't similar but Hitman 1&2 are stupid fun, got 2 recently with the Legacy pack and it's very pleasant to play. Great maps, lots of choices, hugely replayable and doesn't take itself seriously. I'd give it a go.

Sekiro, RE2, Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Bloodstained were the only standouts for me this year, still playing RDR2 from last year which is the best thing I've played in years, I think.

Drumroll · 30 Sep 2019 at 16:42

Played Sekiro, very good game. But the battles felt a bit inconsistent. The same enemy on occasions would be very easy, on others very hard. But very good game.
I love Dark Souls, but it's a game to play for hours, and easy to get lost, but my favourite.
Like Skyrim, but Oblivion was more to my taste.
