It's been a while since I last asked and plenty of games have been released or updated since then. Let's get talking.
For me, the usual Rocket League has been played a lot recently. Especially with the new in-game event going on, the Spike Rush game mode (video) is a huge amount of fun and it's pretty ridiculous. Even the normal game modes continue to keep the game as my #1, it's gotten to the point where I'm attempting all sorts of insane goals. It's still free to try until tomorrow at 5PM UTC with a 50% off sale on Steam.
Plenty more Dota Underlords as well of course, I'm absolutely terrible at it but it's also stupidly engrossing. I like that I can quickly go for a toilet break or to grab a drink when needed, since you don't have to be at your PC during the battles if you have to run for a minute.
Apart from that, Eagle Island continues to pull plenty of my attention. Such a sweet game and really quite a challenge at times. I've especially enjoyed jumping into the Roguelite mode to continue playing after the story is all done.
I also let the mini-me try out Bastion, while it's not a game I personally enjoy as I find the narrator a little irritating, he seems to love it on the more casual game mode and he's getting surprisingly good at it.
Do let everyone know what you've been playing and if it's worth picking up in the comments.

It's amazing how a great a more than twenty years old game can still be.
I bought it on a multi-cd package when it was released, got it on a singled DVD with my first Pioneer(?) DVD drive and bought it recently in a Steam Sale when it was dirt cheap in full bundle with BG2 and all expansions.
One reason was support for Steam cloud saves. I simply love this Steam feature!
But this is somehow not working properly for this game as the second client has only a much older out of sync save game.
Different story...
BG is fantastic!
I hope I can finish it this time.
After all these years.
I've been playing a lot of Super Mario 64. The game is more frustrating than I remember it being, perhaps my brain is turning into mush as I age.

other than that, Don't Starve, and XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

And continued with Hollow Knight - bought it a long time ago but finally took the time to play it. Well I started and now probably 50% through the main game but just a guess.
Also played just a little bit of Eagle Island and Supralang - could resist but only 1h in each. Certainly will continue later with both.
Last but not least, played/watched the demo of Synergia - amazing story and great visuals/atmosphere. Looking forward to the release!
I kind of like the fact that combat can happen either with or without you, since a few experiments with the skirmish mode have demonstrated to me that I am hopeless at it, so I'm just gonna let my powerful fleet speak for itself hopefully.
When I get a bit bored with Helium Rain I've been switching to a bit of Stellaris and Civ: Beyond Earth. Both happen much faster on my new not-ancient computer, so that's a treat.
The new Breaking Ground DLC is great and they added hinges, electric motors, propellers, and more...

Valkyria Chronicles 4, I really loved the first and this one is almost a carbon copy, some new additions but not much, In my opinion story is not as good, works flawlessly with Proton.
Started Red Dead Redemption 2, on Xbox One, it was cheap and I didn't have the patience to wait for a hypothetical Windows release. This game is so well made in every aspects, this game deserve a PC release.
