(The monthly ‘now playing’ seems like a good idea! )
* Elex (PC) - from the makers of the Gothic and Risen games ... love it so far. Better than all their stuff since Gothic2 IMO. Big world, interesting stories and quests and characters, usual translation issues ... but missing the musical contributions of Kai Rozencranz ..
* Divinity: Original Sin 2 (PC) - amazing game!
* Beta test game (Mac) - awesome fun game, coming together nicely.
Not playing much else - really nothing on Vita/DS or iOS lately.

I've decided to return to Metro Last Light, and finish it this time.
I'm currently playing the garden level, the one right after you catch up to Leznitsky.

Wolfenstein 2 - The New Colossus . Haven't enjoyed a shooter like this in a long time.
Couldn't agree more. In fact the whole series provides a great FPS experience.
Banging my head against wall with X3: Terran Conflict which is on sale till 11Dec (I believe) at Steam. There is a general lack of direction in the game.

Found a good tutorial, it’s getting better.

Poor HD4000 really struggles with it though!

- X3 Terran Conflict- Lacks direction, but online tutorials can guide you. Trading is a grind. Looking to expand my experience.
- Conan Exiles- Fixed an issue with missing Thralls, and the Wheel of Pain is once again working.
- Tesla Effect- Launches to a black screen. Checked with game's tech support, no help, but I only payed a few dollars for it on sale.
- World of Tanks- Cranked this up after about a year off and I think the bloom is off the rose.

I just started ‘Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition’ - it is in a sort of ‘early access’ they’re calling ‘Head Start’.
So far the only major appeal comes down to “play NWN on Mac again”. Which isn’t a bad thing - love the game, and missed playing it on Mac, so $20 was an easy buy for me.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 has kept me very happy for over 2 years... I built a USB controller to run the game from my MTB (on a trainer stand) so it's a driving game and an exercise bike too. 455 hours on the sim in about 2.5 years, maybe 3 years -- I'm a full-on addict. User contributed maps have expanded my touring range from Iceland to Kazhakstan
Currently playing Sea Of Thieves and Far Cry 5.
SoT is a beautiful game, but becoming a bit of a grind. Don’t see a lot of other players’ boats out there, and honestly, I tend to stay away when I do. Don’t want to have done all that grinding to get sunk and lose everything.
FC5 isn’t bad. I like a lot of the changes they’ve made to the gameplay. I think FC3 is still my favorite of the series though.
Recently finished Wolfenstein 2, SouthPark Fractured But Whole, Dead Space 3.
Want to get Sniper Elite 4 next.

Sea of Thieves, been having a blast with that one. Usually have a crew of 3-4 all people from my Discord. Usually just do a few voyages and actively sail towards another ship if we spot one. Risking loot gives us that extra bit of rush that pushes us even harder to win a sea battle.
Stellaris, this game is absolutely sucking my life away when I play it. The depth alone makes this easily the best 4x Space Civilization game I believer I have ever played.
As for MMOs I am still on EvE Online and since Rift relaunched a progression server I have been playing that too. Need more hours in the day.

Would you say Stellaris is more like X3, Masters of Orion, or Homeworld? I assume MoO which is described as 4x
It is a 4x game with way more granularity in how you run your empire.
A good example is I am currently in a play through with a highly religious military empire who can only live in a specific planet that is very rare. I am currently on a galactic crusade to reclaim another Gaia planet across the galaxy. I have declared this planet hallowed ground so my citizens are more unified. With more unity i can unlock traditions which augment my game play. I am focusing in the supremacy tree so any empire along the way is easier to subject them to vassilization. Those who reject my rule have their planets purged and their citizens turned into food which i trade away to the other empires for extra minerals and energy. I have also increased my food stockpiles due to the extra food coming in which allows me to have a higher birthrate and with the extra minerals I received I raised the standard of living of my empire which makes them more productive in the factories.
The space combat however is real time and is not tile based although you can only assign behaviors to ships and instead of moving each ship by itself you move the entire fleet. So for instance I have a swarm of fast corvettes set to swarm and a line of destroyers with artillery subsections set to sit back and fire.
Do you have experience with Fortnite PVP? I assume that there are people who live in the game 24/7 who would wipe the floor with me.
