MCC and Risk of Rain 2 are my co too games lately. Both have a ton of things to do and are easy to put down when it's time to pass out.
For a few years I played a lot of skyrim. I've done many builds and challenges to make the game harder without going to high in difficulty but I burned myself out and can't get myself to play it long term.
I've mostly been wanting to play Rocket League, but I've been super stressed and for whatever reason playing against real people stresses me more. I think it's because I can't just pause the game whenever I feel like it.
So I've been mostly playing against ML bots with RLBotGui. As a gold/plat level player, it's actually a great way to practice.
I've also been playing through all of the Adventures of Lolo games(1-3 US and Japan, GB Lolo, eggerland series, plus all of the many rom hacks) on my Anbernic handheld. It's my favorite puzzle game of all time.
I was just playing Lolo 3 and I'm so surprised to see it pop up here! I've never played it before and went directly to the 3rd installment - is that a bad idea?
I'm also playing on an anbernic (rg351v). I wish I could play "baba is you" on it, it would be perfect.
You can play them in any order, but I'd recommend playing the English games before the Japanese market games because the Japan games have more difficult levels.
Super Mario 64 romhacks, but who am I kidding, I never stop working.
Get a break from working, my dude!
Transport Fever 2 has consumed my free time. It's like a time machine, I open the game and I'm launched 4 hours into the future
Lately it’s been War Thunder. Finally got it set up nicely with my Quest 2 and it’s pretty damn good in VR.
Been playing phoenotopia: awakening in whatever spare time I have for the past little while. It's been a good time!
Just a perfect mix of 80s-90s rock, some weed and Diablo IV. Really hits the spot.
Between Xbox and steam deck:
Recently I finished it takes two with my daughter, looking for new couch coops to play with her. For my own gaming time, getting bored of Diablo IV, Dave the diver was fun for a while but I'm ready for something else, maybe will get back into valheim.
DYO is a great free couch coop puzzle game on steam.
If you can play in seperate rooms, the We Were Here series is outstanding. As well as Escape Academy, which is much more child friendly.
Side scroller wise on the same machine. Ibb and Obb or Unravel 1 and 2 are fantastic couch coop games.
Yes, I love coop games. Just wish there were more. Feel I've.played them all already.
Awesome, thanks for the suggestions! Unravel (2) was one of the first games we played together, it was the the perfect game to introduce her to because asymmetrical skill doesn't hurt the game at all, actually it even helps.
I agree with you on the limited local co-op games out there. I feel like I've played them all. Online co-op will be an option when I fix my PC, but the couch experience is hard to beat.
For me, it feels great to do a few laps in a racing sim like Assetto Corsa Competizione after a long day. Even something more arcade-y like Forza feels good to me.
If I don't feel like like driving at the end of my day though I'd probably hop on Monster Hunter or a story-based single player game.
Right now I'm hard addicted to Remnant 2. Been playing it pretty much every day after work this week. Phenomenal game.
I've been playing Dismantle. You just smash stuff mostly. Well, I just smash stuff mostly. Then upgrade tools to smash more stuff.

It's chill mindlessness with soothing audio. Excellent for zoning out after a hard day. Calms the soul.
I don't have any specific games to play after work. I just play whatever I'm enjoying most. Currently, that game is baldurs gate 3. I haven't played anything else since Thursday. Before that, it was Spiritfall. It's a roguelite with brawlhalla/smashbros type combat fused with hades' blessings power ups. It's still in early access but it's pretty polished, and a lot of fun. I was also playing risk of rain 2 from time to time but boy does it take a while to get good at that game..
Nhl offline. No idea why. I win almost every game. Sometimes it's a close one. But it's not easy on superstar. I just enjoy finding the angles. Good podcast game. But I am down on myself for ignoring the massive backlog.
Finally though, I snapped out of it and tried Hades for the second time and this time it stuck. Chasing those Heat skulls now.
Destiny. But I'm waiting so hard for Starfield.
Same I hope it will be good. I've been wanting a good space game but I can't get into no man's sky.
I've been playing Dinkum a lot lately. A cross between Stardew and Animal Crossing, but with an Australian theme. Real chill if you want it to be.
For the last few weeks it was Sons Of The Forest. But now that my wife and I finished the story and are waiting to lose ourselves for months in Baldurs Gate 3, we've been filling the time with Green Hell, another survival game in a similar vein to SotF. So far the constant struggle to stay on top of food, water, and injuries has been kinda frustrating, but hopefully that headache will go away once the systems start to make more sense.
Right now I'm into racing as I just got a new wheel. So like Asseto Corsa Competizion or F1 23
For running around and shooting things - Boltgun.
For running around and stabbing things - Diablo IV
Fro driving around and shooting things - World of Tanks
Any game really. Currently going through ratchet and clank rift in time since it just came out on pc. Other is legacy of the duelist and ace Attorney trilogy
The same games I would enjoy on my day off.
Still playing Diablo 4 pretty much whenever I have downtime for gaming.
Like most here I have a couple of games which I play for a few weeks before moving on to the next. The cycle (as of now) includes:
Terraria
Warframe
Elden Ring (Sometimes Bloodborne, DS1 or DS3)
Factorio (because fuck sleeping)
SYNTHETIK
Resident Evil 2 or 4 Remakes
These are the usual suspects I play over and over again. Sometimes I squeeze in a new game. Some of the last games were Outer Wilds, Dead Space Remake, Katamari Damacy REROLL, God of War Ragnarök and Boltgun. Right now I am farming the shit out of Warframe again, but I think I might give Starsector a shot. Looks like a lot of fun to me.
Games that have been a part of the cycle were: Destiny 1, Destiny 2 and Guild Wars 2, Fallout 4, Skyrim. I lost interest in these games after a couple of ~~hundred~~ thousand hours.
