Games! Which do you play?

Which, if any, games do you play? On what platform?

I just bought (and completed) Minecraft Dungeons for my Nintendo Switch. Other than that I play a bit of Factorio from time to time, also Oxygen Not Included and Don’t Starve (as well as Don’t Starve Together) all on my Macbook.

I just wish I had a bit more time to play. :sweat_smile:


Minecraft Dungeons is a dungeon crawler video game.

Factorio is a construction and management simulation game.

Oxygen Not Included is a survival simulation video game.

Don’t Starve (and Don’t Starve Together) is a survival video game. The difference is that Don’t Starve is a single-player game, while Don’t Starve Together is the multi-player version. They differ ever so slightly in game play.

I’ve recently bought a PS4 and have been enjoying all these tasty exclusives and some other games. It’s great to buy a console at the end of it’s lifecycle because you can get it and the games for a dime.

Right now I’m playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. I’m enjoying it so far but I also know that it ends very suddenly, so I’m bracing for that.

In addition to that I also own a Switch and have been playing Stardew Valley on and off. It’s a great change of pace and I find it very relaxing.

Before that I played (mostly on the PS4):

  • Watch Dogs 2
    didn’t finish it, probably will at some point though
  • Baba is you
    a mind twisting sokoban-like puzzle game where the rules of the game are also pushable and you need to manipulate them to complete the puzzles; big fun!
    Played it on the switch
  • Assassin’s Creed Syndicate
    didn’t finish, won’t finish it - I enjoyed it but it overstayed it’s welcome, it was simply too long
  • Alien Isolation
    usually I chicken out of horror games but this one really drew me in. I didn’t finish it yet but I plan to, I just needed a change of pace
  • Titanfall 2
    only played the campaign but damn was this a great experience, best shooter I’ve played in a while
  • Mass Effect Andromeda
    didn’t think it was as bad as people make it out to be, the core gameplay loop of exploring and fighting is fairly fun; finished it although it’s story was a bit meh
  • God of War
    finished it and enjoyed it very much, awesome game

Beyond that I got a bunch more of PS4 games waiting to be played. Bought them all for a dime.

I also own a gaming PC I’ve built a few years back but it’s not really functional atm. I need to reinstall Windows from scratch to get it back up and running but haven’t bothered to do that in the past few months because I’m busy enough as it is.

I haven’t had time to play any games for a few months now sadly, but the last game I played was Frostpunk.

It’s a city builder survival/resource management game where you’re responsible for running the last city on earth, which happens to be entirely frozen over.

One of my all-time favorite games Caesar III has just got a mod that fixes some of the bugs while also allowing me to play it on my Mac! The mod is called Augustus, however, it also has a pure port with bugs and all called Julius. Can’t wait to give that a spin sometime soon!

Caesar III is a city-building game released on September 30, 1998. (~22 years ago!)
