What other games are we all playing?

AFAIK Uplay can work offline but you need to be online to enable the offline mode (LOL)
Steam is trash, Origin, well, I'm a fan of Origin but nope, they don't do offline very well.

Fortunately I'm mainly using GOG. I really can't thank CDP enough.

Never had an issue with either Uplay or Steam in offline. Origin I hate with a passion

Only ever had an issue with offline mode if I had no notification I'd be offline for a while. ie grab your kit your off on holiday to somewhere sandy....

Playing just the first few hours of Darksiders 3.

I loved the first one, the whole setting and story gripped me. The second had some great stuff too but something about the gameplay put me off it and I never finished it.

The third goes for a Souls-a-like type affair which is interesting. Same sort of thing where if you die you lose collected items which can be picked up and recovered however smaller mobs all respawn etc etc.

The story seems to be there and what I love most of the series the exploration of the environment is still strong.

Really enjoying it so far though reviewers didn't mark it all that highly. Maybe I'm seeing something they didn't or havent experienced yet.

Started another PT in Stellaris. Machine Empire. Very good start and got the ball rolling. Then found out they totally changed Ecumonopoly and habitats. Again about to cancel and start another. I swear to God, when I ever finish a bloody PT in Stellaris ....

Finally got around the play XCOM 2 with the "Long War" mod.

I'll be damned, this must be one of the greatest modding jobs in the history of gaming. It dramatically changes the game, keeping all the good parts and adding so much more.

I really disliked XCOM1, hated the campaign forcing it to the end. I mostly play just for the sake of it. Mission for mission. I need my own pacing and long war and some extra mods were one of the best round based tactical combat experiences I ever had. Loved it.

I tend to play Star Wars BattleFront 2 when not in ED.
I just had a look at Dauntless but I'm not really convinced.
Sometimes I go back to diablo 3 and I play PixelJunk Monsters with my wife to chill out together.

Been playing through the classic Build Engine FPSs since I missed those games the first time around (grew up in a Mac household). My method is: play on 2nd highest difficulty and I only save/reload once at the start of a stage or upon collection of a new keycard. loving it so far.

Finished Duke 3D, played the D.C. expansion, drew the line at Christmas duke and am probably going to bail on the tropical vacation one as well. Currently around ⅔ of the way through Shadow Warrior and enjoying it even more than Duke.

The inventiveness, thought, and variety put into the Build Engine games is wonderful. Hard to believe that these "dumb" FPS action games have more complex levels and engaging puzzles than most modern RPGs. Shadow Warrior's levels are frequently on par with some of the best dungeons in a Zelda game.

Saving Blood for last because the remaster came out relatively recently, and from what I've read it's not quite faithful yet, but has been getting steady patches. Looking forward to it and who knows maybe I'll play Ion Maiden after that if Ive not burned out by then.

Had to uninstall Elite and several other things because mates talked me into returning to Destiny 2 for a while (That thing is over 100GB. Oof.)
Turned out Destiny 2 doesn't run on Zen 2 processors.

Reinstalling Elite, now. :LOL:

Anything that can be paused, so Stellaris, Observation, Outer Wilds and AC:Origins - though with a 17 month old that won't settle, even those games aren't seeing any action. Elite is resting as I can't get in to it without interuption. It's temporary... I hope.

And restarted Stellaris PT again. They reworked habitats and Ecumenopolis. sigh This time I'm trying with a megacorp again. So far looking quite good. Also upped the difficulty a notch.

Still playing XCom 2 as my “pausable” (I like that term) game. I’m surprisingly still on my fourth campaign. Last week, I was two pips away from the Avatar project being completed. I managed to push it back to five. Unfortunately, I’ve been neglecting letting an alternate Sharpshooter get some experience, and now my fully ranked up Sharpshooter is out of commission for ten days, thanks to five people missing an Archon that triggered our killzone, including said Sharpshooter. He managed to kill the other two members of the alien pod after we dropped a plasma grenade into their midst, and as I’m celebrating the destruction of the first pod of the mission, I realize in horror that everyone is missing!

edit:
The mission I ran while waiting for my supper to finish cooking went flawlessly with my substitute Sharpshooter. I accidentally found a secondary use for plasma grenades: removing buildings between my people and any aliens using said buildings for cover. :D

So yeah, i play a LOT of other games instead Elite. My Elite burnout is slowly getting better though and as soon as i get my new flight stick i'm planning on hopping in after a small break. Remains to be seen if i can play it for longer periods yet though..
