What have you been playing recently and what do you think of it?

It's question time once again, time to tell the world what you've been playing and let us know if it's worth getting.

I've actually been really enjoying Sid Meier's Civilization VI with the new expansion, it's far more addictive than I originally thought. While I previously got bored with it after a few rounds, that's no longer the case.

The disasters system with climate change adds so much to the game to seriously make it that much more interesting. Soon my English army shall take over what's left of the world…

In regards to the performance of the port (which isn't great in the later game), Aspyr Media did say this on Reddit:

The answer is actually not technical, but simply bandwidth. Frankly, it was a valentines miracle to get Linux out along-side Windows in a playable state that we were happy with AND cross platform. There will be time for optimizations once the dust settles, and we will continue to optimize for as long as we work on the product. For Civ V, that was years.

As for other games, I still can't pull myself away from Rocket League. Now that I have a few hundred hours in it, the amount of tricks I can pull off is increasing all the time, once you get to grips with some aerial maneuvers the game certainly opens up a bit.

Another shout out to Streets of Rogue, still one of my absolute favourite indie games. The amount of time I'be put into this is nuts. Probably one of the funniest games I've ever played with friends. Absolutely check it out if you haven't and do have a look at our video of it!

Pillars of Eternity 2 with the turn based combat mode. Still enjoyable after the first 50 hours, but also not without its flaws. The main quest is actually fairly intriguing, but it only comprises a small part of the game. The majority seems to consist of running errands for the 4 factions, none of which are organizations I'd normally want to associate with, were it not for XP and cash. Given that most of their tasks revolve around inter- and intra-faction squabbles, this makes the whole game a somewhat unsatisfying experience as far as the writing is concerned. On top of that, 4 of the companions also have ties to specific factions, which only serves to amplify my impression that the game was written around the factions, instead of them being a small and organic part of a wider and more varied world.

Quoting: DuncI played TW1 after TW2, and never actually completed TW2 on the PC (I got almost to the end and thought, “Yeah, I remember what happens now. That'll do.”), so I don't have a proper “history” of saves.

TW3 works around that, by asking your what choices you made in the past (it's built into the story). If you provide a save, that part is skipped.

Terraria, 454hours and counting.
I'm usually big into FPS games but this thing has me completely hooked.
Very in depth, I still have to look at the wiki!
Completed several times but still lots of things to do, highly recommended.

I've been playing Dusk and Amid Evil: both really good old-school FPS games. Also recently completed the second level of the Ion Maiden demo.

Have also got back into Sunless Skies recently with the full release now being available. The writing and lore behind the game is amazing, and the music really suits the atmosphere. Love it :-)

Anyone know if the lighting bug on TR4 has been sorted yet?
