Black Ops 6 womp womp. but also good shit like Crash Bandicoot 1 for like the 90th time, and I recently got Beyond Good and Evil. Never played it but it's really dope. I also got Atomic Heart but haven't gotten deep into it yet. This is all on PC. Crash being the N. Sane Trilogy version. but I get bored sometimes and just load random old stuff up.
What have you been playing lately?

Do you like this? Are you playing online? I've briefly considered it, but apparently the single-player campaign has issues? Is the online more fun than Warzone? Can you briefly explain the rise and fall of the Byzantine Empire to me in no more than ten words?
It's what you'd expect from modern Call of Duty. Egregious practices and gameplay "features" to push overpriced mtx that don't even look cool. Campaign that doesn't really push any boundaries and plays it safe with a not very interesting story that tries too hard to be badass. Multiplayer is fun when the Skill Based Matchmaking isn't fighting against you doing any better than a 1.5 K/D, or people being the most heinous individuals because anonymity gives them a false sense of security. I haven't liked Zombies since Black Ops 3 but it seems okay. Warzone is Warzone, garbage. All in all, I definitely wasted 90 dollars that could've gone to literally anything else, but I like playing with my friends. Constantin I strut, Mehmed II's cannons went brrrr, Constantinople gone.
I'm a big fan of AliceSoft's games, and I've already finished (or almost) Sengoku Rance, Kichikuou Rance, Rance 6, Daibanchou and Only You. Windows games, you might say. Nahhh... They've recently been ported to Android (via xsystem4 apk), and it's on tablets where I've enjoyed them the most. Sure, sure, they're exactly that kind of games... 
Well there's Metal Slug Tactics, I'd been looking forward to it for years now but it's a real let-down.
On the other hand, Hades II continues to be fun, Balatro is the best game of the year, and I played through Mario 3 and Super Mario World again.
Oh, also finished Metaphor: Refantazio, which I almost skipped because of it's gibberish title. Not bad! The latter half of the game doesn't really live up to the first, but by that point you're locked in, and the Persona style time system is really good at keeping you marching forward, so I imagine most people are are resolved to finish it by then regardless.

I’ve been playing… God, muwahahahaha! For real though, I’ve been scouting out 3d platformers to play and review that might have stuff from older games that act as a homage and I landed on a few ones that seem to scratch that itch. Won’t reveal what it is, it’s been my secret project for the past couple of days nyahahaha
In a bit of a rut right now... run of Knights of the Old Republic 2 is fizzling out, even with the Restored Content patch/mod there's a distinct lack of polish running through the game and the game is shaking out to be painfully linear. At the moment I can't find anything to replace it, I have/had a few ideas for games to try/retry but there's issues big n small keeping me away from any of them.
Otherwise, I've been chipping away at the Makai Toshi SaGa 2 DS remake for the last few months. It's not as open as I'm told the later SaGas are, but it is at times challenging, which is nice.

How about Jade Empire? or Neverwinter Nights if you are itching for some Good Bioware games.
My understanding is that the base campaign of Neverwinter Nights sucks, and the expansions aren't much better, so it's off the table until I've amassed some user-made campaigns for it (Swordflight in particular seems well-regarded). Unfortunately Jade Empire doesn't interest me at all.
I'd like to clarify that I picked up KOTOR 2 mainly cos it was one of those supposed cult-classic flawed gems from Obsidian. Never been a big fan of BioWare stuff.
Meeting a fellow fan of Warriors franchise was certainly not on my bingo card for December, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless.
Big fan of 8, I grew to love it more on a recent playthrough.
I'm enjoying it more the more i play! the map design in my opinion is very very good although i still prefer dynasty warriors 4 the most. i really want to play all the games again. thankfully there is pc ports available so i can actually give koei my money. by the way dw orgins is looking pretty good so for.Meeting a fellow fan of Warriors franchise was certainly not on my bingo card for December, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless.

So, as I mentioned, I did NOT complete this game, because there's a bloody bug in it where you can sell off a plot-critical item for 1 gold. Great! For the record, the collection I bought also has a bug where in-game saving doesn't work, so I had to use a save state whenever I wanted to stop playing and come back. Aside from that, I didn't use any of the other cheats – honest, guv! In complete fairness, I did have some fun with the game until it locked me into a dead playthrough, but it wasn't really anything special. I'll never beat one of these stupid NES JRPGs. I hate them, and everything. HARRUMPH!!!
I also really like the plinky, ominous title screen music. The whole game has some great Genesis-twangy sound effects.
Indeed. Warriors live and die by their feedback loop and 8 is the most polished and most fun in that regard.
4 kinda used to be my favorite too but a recent replay of all games made me gravitate more towards 5 because of individual character campaigns.

Make that 2.
Make us 3 (I played a lot of Samurai Warriors 4 on PS3 and the Hokuto no ken warriors games on 360. And I am trying to play DW strikeforce)Meeting a fellow fan of Warriors franchise was certainly not on my bingo card for December, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless.

Finished tangle tower. The ending was... Something.
It's a shame all of the innovation since 8 has been in the spin-offs, like Hyrule, Pirate, and Fire Emblem, but the recent demo for Origins was promising. Kinda overwhelming with all the systems and elements, and they picked a stage where a ton of story events happen outside of your control, but it's exciting nonetheless. Hopes are high!Meeting a fellow fan of Warriors franchise was certainly not on my bingo card for December, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless.

I played some Marvel Rivals yesterday, as I regret to say they got me with brand recognition alone. Used to play the first overwatch when it first came out, so I'm not uninitiated to hero shooters. It's pretty good overall, I think there's still some balancing issues as to be expected but i enjoyed my time with it and I'll probably actually play more.
Also, I recently played a very cute rogue like action shooter thing called Roboquest- also recommend it, I will also be playing that again soon.

I've been playing too many hours of Palworld.
I came across Fatal Labyrinth at a retro shop a few years ago and picked it up after hearing mixed things about it. I couldn't get into it as much as I was hoping, but it had some charm to it. Cool to see a roguelike on the Genesis. I'll have to revisit it someday ...So, as I mentioned, I did NOT complete this game, because there's a bloody bug in it where you can sell off a plot-critical item for 1 gold. Great!

Instead, I've now been playing a lot of Fatal Labyrinth on the Genesis. (Ooh, can you say NTR? Suck it, Nintendo!) I've had a weird affection for this game – it's a horribly bare-bones roguelike, but it always pops up on Genesis collections as filler, so I guess I've kind of stockholmed myself into liking it over the years. It's very, very difficult, as you'd expect of the genre, about 5 floors too long for my taste, and bland (in every aspect) to a fault, but I'm still having fun with it. Turn-based roguelikes are probably my favourite genre, and playing one on a SEGA console of all things is neat.
I also really like the plinky, ominous title screen music. The whole game has some great Genesis-twangy sound effects.
As for what I'm playing, I'm currently playing through FF III (VI) on the SNES. I've put about 20 hours into the game and am in the middle of the MagiTek Research Facility.
I Played/Completed Dishonored 1 last night without killing or being spotted. When I finished the game I felt like Homer when he finished the blue cheese on that episode.
How did the run go?
Played the game on normal in one night. It's was very cool seeing how to city changed depending if you killed a lot or not (in my run the last level was during the day because I didn't kill anybody). My favorite mision was when you are on the party and you have to duel a random guy. The worst mision (not because was bad but because it was too long
) was the one when you are capturated and You need to recover your equipment and then you have to infiltrate the assasins base and later you go to the city (that mission also changes depending if you have low or high chaos level). Also I only used like two powers in the entire run. So yeah was a very fun run
