I'm currently playing Fallout4 VR. I've spent 13 hours in Fallout4 VR over the last 3 days. Not a flawless release, but I'd rather have it now with Bethesda working on some of the issues. Just read review https://gamebestnews.com/reviews/action/fallout-4-vr-vive-review/
What games are you playing?
- Thread starter jeshikat
- Start date
Working on some of the workshop levels for Infinifactory and started Day of the Tentacle Remastered.
Still playing too much PUBG 
lots of fun and frustration.
Distinctly lacking in the Chicken Dinner department, but been 2nd a few times.
Also started playing Insurgency again at LAN night, a different feel and dynamic, but good for coop squad play.

Started playing Deus Ex Mankind Divided but im getting bored of it pretty quickly. It depends waaay too much on the formula of sneaking into somewhere unseen to find something then having to murder everyone anyway on the way out w/ not nearly as much ammo as you would like against very slightly better armed enemy's over and over again.
Started Project: Gorgon over the weekend.
It's hands-down the best PVE experience I've had in an MMORPG in a long while.
I highly recommend it to any fans of old school MMORPGs like Asheron's Call and Everquest.
If anyone picks it up, send me a PM and I'll toss you an invite in-game.

You have me interested. Was looking for an MMORPG, med-fan, classic look ... And this one is Linux native !
The wiki is extremely overwhelming. Makes for a fun read that in the end makes your head spin with ideas. Without the typical themepark hand-holding gameplay, it's been a pretty refreshing experience.
Finally we have a new MMORPG with real choices, a focus on exploration, tons of possibilities, and lots of group content.
No subscription, no P2W, no lootboxes, no in-game store, and no currency conversion schemes. $40 and done.
It just entered Steam Early access and optimization/graphics/animation updates are on the way.
They definitely focused on depth/gameplay first.
Thankfully, it has a strong foundation to build upon and I don't say that for most MMORPGs.

Currently playing Crypt of the Necrodancer.
This is a rythm dungeon crawler, with only four inputs: UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT. Special actions are tirggered using 2 directions at the same time, and UP + DOWN or LEFT + RIGHT makes it impossible to play with D-PAD. I mapped the actions to my SNES gamepad buttons (A, B, X and Y), but it still feels like something could be done ....
Had the game music buried deep inside my brain this whole day at work and was playing the drum line on my desk. Eureka, lets make a piezo-drum to control that game ! A quick search for piezo-electric drums shows plenty of results, basically:

Another example: Pringles can midi drum
ps: I'll update the project in my GuilleAcoustic's brainstorm thread.

- 4x piezo sensors
- Foam of different density
- an Arduino + a few lines of code

You had me at "Linux native!".
Looking forward to it!
Also that piezo-drum project sounds like a fun time!
Edit: Forgot to add what I'm currently playing. Right now, I am playing either Cave Story (native), Crash Bandicoot (GBA), Donkey Kong Country 2 (GBA), Golden Sun The Lost Age (GBA), Metroid Zero Mission (GBA), or Metroid Fusion (GBA) on this:

Playing SOMA at this moment. The main character Simon is on my avatar
I like it, because this game have a very unusual idea. It is almost impossible to predict the end.

I loved SOMA, even though the monsters scared me up to the "drops of pee detected" level. The story is very interesting and the environment well done.
^Also thoroughly enjoyed SOMA (despite the apparently dull-witted main character).
Just started the new Battletech game. It's a little slow-paced, though still too soon to form a proper impression. We'll see how it turns out.
Last week it was Frostpunk, which is a really quite decent colony builder/resource management game. Suitably challenging, with well done assets. If I had one complaint, it's that there's not much there story-wise, with only one main scenario and a couple of bonus scenarios to play through (each scenario amounting to building up a city and surviving x number of days). Lack of a story/overarching goal is par for the course for this type of game, but unlike others in the genre, this doesn't include some type of endless mode (not that I enjoy that in general; I tend to need a goal to keep me going). Pretty good for what it is though, and can easily keep you engaged for the couple dozen hours it takes to get through the included scenarios (with the developer promising more in the future).
Speaking of game genres that benefit from a story, I want to give a belated shout-out to Subnautica, which came out a couple months back. I kept tabs on it during early access, but refrained from playing until full release, and was happy I did; I found it to be one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I've had in a long time. The combination of a sandboxy survival game in a smallish handcrafted world, with exploration, base building, crafting, plus an actual storyline (albeit a little thin) complete with scripted events, ticked a lot of boxes for me. I can heartily recommend it to anyone who remotely enjoys this type of game.

I've been working on getting all 900 Korok Seeds in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It's a fool's errand, but it's also a fun excuse to keep playing the game, even though I've already sunk close to 200 hours in it. Only 400 more seeds to go...
Learning that Subnautica actually has a storyline and is handcrafted, rather than a procedurally generated, open-ended sandbox makes it SIGNIFICANTLY more appealing to me. I may actually need to pick it up, since it was already on my radar, but I tend to stay away from completely open-ended gameplay (even as I'm more than willing to sink hundreds of hours into a massive game).

Somehow lost my save files for Lego Batman 2 (on Steam), so I'm replaying. I never managed to complete the bonus "brick Gotham" level the first time around (could never find all the studs for some reason) so I'm hoping to complete it this go-round and finally get to play it in free play mode to see all the 'locked' elements (puzzles that can't be solved by the default characters) in that level. I've played thru story mode and just unlocked Aquaman in Gotham, so I can now go back and get all the minikits from the story levels (which all unlock extra vehicles to use in Gotham). I also recently found a workaround to play Lego Batman 1 (turn on VSync), so I'm slowly working through that, too. I don't have much contiguous gaming time, or brainpower left most evenings, so these fit the bill for the moment.
I just wish they didn't reduce the number of players per server at release.
I may pick it up in a few months -we'll see.

Overwatch is the main time suck for me. Someone told me that playing Horizon Zero Dawn made them a lot better at Hanzo, want to test that idea
Subnautica is still on my backlog seems like my type of atmospheric game.
