Low Magic Age
It's an rpg based on the Pathfinder ruleset (AD&D). It is still early access but there is plenty there to play with in the sandbox mode.
It's a great implementation of those rules in a video game form.
I tried out For Honor last night, I got it sometime in the past week or two for free. Very cool fighting system, it's kind of like a timed rock-paper-scissors but you know what the enemy will throw shortly before they do--and they know what you're going to throw, too. It's a mixture of stance (one of 3 positions), timing (quick or heavy attack, dodging), stamina (wears down when you attack). It's a lot to keep track of and remember, but it's super interesting.
Still playing Battlefield 1 off and on, and a little bit of Minecraft. I want to jump back into Victor Vran this week sometime.
Might I recommend "My Summer Car"? It's pretty similar, except there's only one car, and you're a drunken Finn who also has to pump septic tanks for car and booze money.
I'm drifting between a few games at the moment. Mostly playing short stuff, doing MK64 time trials, but I might give Hyper Light Drifter another try. I also want to revisit Celeste and 100% it, since I burnt out on it pretty quickly after release and stopped playing.
Red alert 3 uprising, zombidle and bloons tower defense.
Judge me all you want.
Why is it that I never have time to get into a game by the time you get around to asking this question? I suppose, if you want to get technical, I'm playing 2:
How to get 16 bit programs to run in a 64 bit world (solved, btw)
A maybe an hour of Fictorum.
Kingdoms and Castles
A sort of City Builder meets Age of Empires with a Minecraft aesthetic.
