Got No Man's Sky years a few years ago then stopped playing PC games so played it for about 2 hours at the time.
Recently picked it up again and now I know what I'm actually doing woth the controls, resource management and building etc. it's a great game to bimble through.
 
Currently I mostly play rogue like games as they are good for pick up and play. Though I do want to resume playing shadow tactics. Stopped playing for some reason a while ago even though I enjoyed it, reminds me of commandos.
 
World Of Warcraft: Midnight. Only played a couple of hours, but very samey so far. I've been playing on and off since the original, but has been dumbed down so far it's just a grind fest and I've never been a hardcore raider.

Of course I'll play the expansion a lot despite the above!
 
Last time I dipped back they had ruined all the economies and the auction houses where dead as dodos , that was my favorite things to do make money
 
No Man's Sky - Got HDR set up properly and now FSR4.1 in Vulkan via optiscaler at 4K - It's looks absolutely spectacular now - Colours are vibrant , detail is amazing and the game is still fun to play with new features appearing all the time. I'd probably rate it in the top three gameplay/value for money spent ( got it for £9.99) for me in the last decade

It's the first one I've not bought, I think...I play on and off, but generally I've bought all of them even just to play for a few months. It's very much as nostalgia thing for me, I need to go back just to dust of the characters I've had for 20 years.

But it's always rose-tinted. WoW these days always gives me that post-MMO clarity after I've logged off....like an inner regret.

I like to sub for a month near Christmas for Nostalgia, visit Ironforge and some of the WOTLK zones, then I'm done. Unironically some of the best christmas music I've heard.

Oh I love doing that. I was a bit gutted that Midnight came out this week and not before Christmas like they usually do.

…having said that, I’m still completely addicted
 
Right now (as a 50-year-old gamer) I'm playing:

Enshrouded - with my friends on a Friday night. Nearly at the end of the available content with that now.
Palworld - with my son most nights.
Cyberpunk 2077 - when I have some free time on my own
 
Very much enjoying Elite Dangerous and doing better than I did last time I tried it (6+ years ago on PS4 and 9ish on PC). Playing solo as I just don't have the skill to deal with human pilots with FA off :cry:.

Bounty Hunting in a Cobra Mk5 and just shy of 50m credits banked, after a lowish start trying trading. Just deciding if I want to buy something bigger and go exploring or go for a more tank like combat ship.

Thankfully yes, that’s why it hasn’t been stuck in early access for 20 years adding a game mode that only you and three other people play :p

Bad news for you, Heroes of Science and Fiction is adding multiplayer , good news for me and the three other people :D
 
Spent a few hours on Blue Prince again. It’s got such a great ambience I just don’t seem to get bored of it.
I’m now pushing for some of the ‘end game’ puzzles and praying to rngesus that I get stuff to solve puzzles I know.
That is unfortunately one of the worst parts about this game, knowing how to solve a puzzle but having to rely on the randomness to get the cards you need an order to actually do it.

There's just so much in the game though that doing another run usually isn't worthless until it's literally end end game.

They have done well to release so much content since release, in the last few years.
