Dark Souls 2 & Dark Souls 3 (PS4) this first semester.

One recent launch that might resonate with some is Thimbleweed Park

Team Fortress 2 with a mate.

Dwarf Fortress 2 when I need to immerse myself in something completely different than theoretical chemistry.

You from the future, mate?

Technically the full name of Dwarf Fortress is Slaves to Armok: God of Blood Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress so their not too far off.

Factorio. And I used to play Minecraft, but these days I'm too busy writing mods and server tooling to actually play it. :V

A whole handful because they all bring something different to the table:

- Dishonored 2 - The Witness - The Talos Principal - Batman - Arkham Knight - Shadows of Mordor - Transistor

Factorio + Rimworld. Both great simulation games, both continually improved upon and under active development.

These two are my favorites as well, both deep and infinitely replayable

+1 Factorio. Used to be an avid gamer. Now just an avid Factorio player.

Haven't been much of a gamer for a long time... but I do love factorio, it's a lot of fun.

Zelda, Dota 2, Factorio, Team Fortress 2, and Quake Live.

The Witness is pretty fun. Some of the puzzles take me a while to grok, so I play it every now and again.

For online multiplayer I like playing mindless games like Halo or DOOM4. For single player... I struggle to think of the last good campaign I played, probably Hitman Absolution because it felt like a movie whilst also having entertaining gameplay.

I had the original Witcher 3 on my XBox360, with no DLC. I just started playing Witcher 3 Complete Edition on my PS4. Currently level 5 and really enjoying it. I get maybe 6 hours a week to play, so it will take a while, which is fine with me.

Counter strike but without voice. Helps relax

It really is amazing how much more relaxing casual is when you turn down VoIP.

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Admittedly, part of that's because I'm messing around with different quest/dungeon orders and NPC interactions, but damn, that game can keep you playing for hundreds of hours if you let it.

Maybe I'll stop when that rumoured Mario & Luigi remake comes out. If not, probably when Super Mario Odyssey is released.

im also playing it, although i would have enjoyed it more without friends spoiling it for me by telling me where they are or what they found :(

Shadow of Mordor, Tomb Raider, Watch_Dogs, Zelda 2 (SNES on RetroPi).

Want to try Red Orchestra with old MOH/BF series friends but trying to avoid time suck online FPS games.
