What PC games are you playing?

Downloaded and played a little bit of Nine Sols (metroidvania).

Hmm, not sure what to make of it yet. I think many people are hankering for the next ‘Hollow Knight’ and I’m not sure this is it. There is more emphasis on skilful combat based around a parry mechanic.

I think I like it more when the exploring is the reward. The areas in Nine Sols aren’t quite as compelling or interesting (yet). The art style is vibrant but as a whole it’s actually a little unrefined (compared to HK).

Also, there is a bit of dialogue which takes me out of feeling like I’m exploring etc.

Overall, I bonded with Animal Well a lot sooner.

Will give it another go though.
 
Currently playing The Excavation of Hob's Barrow
A Wadget eye point and click adventure set in England.

Interesting mystery story about the local folk protecting a barrow with a dark past.
It reminds me of the League of Gentleman TV show with the yorkshire accents in rural village on the moors. If Steve Pemberton was doing the voice acting I would not be suprised.

Really enjoyed that, got it on a humble bundle. I felt that the difficulty was just right. Some of the puzzles had me think a bit but I didn't have to go to Google

The exploring doesn't really get better if that's your draw to games. Nine sols draw is the combat, if it's not your thing, then the game will probably be a miss, if the combat is your thing, then it's amazing (game was my favourite game last year, but I love the combat).
 
Enjoying my early forays into Rise of the Ronin. Only managed a few hours so far but it's shaping up to be a good time with some good old Team Ninja action.

Also trying to get back into DCS after several years away. Once I've got some decent head tracking sorted I'll be able to make proper inroads.

Considering picking up MSFS 2024 but a bit cautious due to the many reports of bugs and poor performance.
