What are the 30 year old plus gamers playing?

Since Christmas, just Elden Ring. Sometimes you feel powerful, and then a few minutes later, you realise you need to gain some more levels as you get pummelled by the next boss. The game is huge, and each of the new locations look great. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I'm loving it.

Strangely, I'm still playing 7 Days To Die. Steam tells me I've played it for ~2200 hours. There are enough overhaul mods to keep me interested and it's enough of a sandbox game to make it possible to implement whatever odd idea flitters through my head. Redirect a river. Lay a tarmac road, including a section through a tunnel I dug through a hill. Build a giant bright white pyramid with its own power station to power the ridiculous amount of lighting on it. Plus it has Rekt, the rudest merchant in any game and that entertains me. I'm still partway to convincing myself to buy a new CPU (and motherboard and memory) because of it. 7DTD is fully voxel with realtime structural integrity, so it's almost always CPU limited. I can drop as low as 55 fps in dense urban areas with my 5700X. A 9800X3D would do much better...

Other than that, I'm also still playing Revhead a bit. And CarX Street, which reminds me of Need For Speed Underground. Which is a very good thing. Although I'm wondering how the devs are getting away with copyright issues. The cars in the game are obviously real world cars with slightly changed names, e.g. the car in the game that is very obviously a Mazda MX-5 is called NX-5. Maybe the game isn't big enough to have been noticed. It's not big enough for the multiplayer aspect of the game to be of much use. It's theoretically like TDU in that respect, but not really as you're unlikely to find other players. But I wanted it as a single player game anyway.

I might get Medieval Blacksmith next. Or maybe look through my libraries, where I will inevitably find some games I bought and never played.

Any stand out mods? Our group has played 7d2d and enjoyed it, but I didn't realise it had mods - could give us another stint of gaming on it.

I've been playing Guild Wars 2. After buying it at launch, and then grabbing the first and second expansion, I've never really done the story. I love the world and running round in it, but that only holds me for so long.
They had a sale at Christmas, so I picked up expansion 3&4, and this time I've actually been doing the story from the start, completed the main game, completed the mini dlc between the main game and first expansion, completed the first expansion and am halfway through the dlc between expansion 1&2.
It's holding my interest pretty well and an really enjoying it
 
I'm playing The Thaumaturge as previously mentioned, also started Nier Replicant yesterday and today I am going to install Napoleon Total War, as I have just watched Ridley Scott's film.
Let's see if I can conquer the Russian Empire in their own backyard.
