I for one have been playing openmw non stop. Being able to replay morrowind on a brand new modern engine has completely enthralled me. The graphical enhancements you can add are superb, volumetric clouds and fogs keep the same aesthetic of the alien world Morrowind inhabits while also adding some much needed visual flare.

Also the gameplay still holds up...mostly! Finding your quests is an experience in itself. I'm getting terribly used to quest markers and maps that tell me where to go. Morrowind says fuck you "Your quest is by the old rickety bridge south of town besides the river. Good luck" no markers just exploration.

The game is not for everyone but everyone should try it.

    Openmw is a lot of fun, I got to play through most of it with a friend over TES3MP a few years ago. The only thing I change usually is getting a leveling mod, and I'm good to play forever.

    My friends have been doing a group run of BG3 with the MC being The Dark Urge. It's been cool seeing the stuff I missed, like the area with harpies behind the grove and the docks below Moonrise (don't even know how I missed that one tbh).

    Been playing Ultrakill, but it's getting a bit too hard on some of these bosses.

    A friend suggested Pseudoregalia as both of us like really good movement in games. It's a 3D metroidvania platformer with some fun movement options that tries for the N64 or Playstation era feel. Almost done with it, but interest petered out as I'm at the point where I have to search the map for the last remaining things. It was still a lot of fun.

    Picked up Kenshi again. Project Kathun is actually a lot of fun, Star Wars is a surprising fit with the Kenshi aesthetic Or maybe not surprising, lol.

    Picked up a little game called Fictorum that is like a wizard destruction simulator with a FTL like map layer to it. It's janky and unstylish, but then you get a winning combination of spell setups and the game clicks. Good value, I think I got it really cheap but I don't see myself playing it extremely long.

    I wanted to get a physical copy of Unicorn Overlord this week as my Switch has limited storage, and I had some cash lying around. The local stores didn't have it, so I had to order and now I won't get it until tomorrow, but I'll be obsessing over Dragon's Dogma 2 all day.
