Talking point - what have you been playing lately?

Welcome back, dear readers, to another community article for us all to have a little chat about what we've been playing recently. It's been about a month since we last did this, so it's time to see how you're all doing.

Last time I was completely hooked on ARC Raiders, clocking up a current total of 135 hours. I'm at a point where I feel like I've seen pretty much everything the game has to offer, and so I've taken a bit of a break from it for a while to see how it evolves across a few updates. Very enjoyable though, as long as you don't mind the PvP where you end up losing your good stuff constantly.

Now that I've kicked the ARC habit, I've been jumping into a few other games including the truly excellent Sektori. Mixed in with some Overwatch 2 for the new season and winter events, because family members love it. Despite a brief hiccup with the latest season, it continues running great on Linux.

I also properly tried to get into Fallout 76 with the partner recently too, but something about it just feels a bit off. I can't quite put my finger on why. I think, perhaps, I just enjoyed Fallout 3 and New Vegas too much that it doesn't do it for me as an MMO? More time needed to see for sure. Am I really missing too much if I skip over F76?
