Favorite video game you've played recently?

[Firesquids]

I've seen threads for all-time favorites, and childhood favorites, but what about the present?
Is there a game you've played lately that you really loved?
Gush about it and/or recommend it to others here!

It's no secret I've been playing a ton of Baldur's Gate 3 as of late, but it's also no secret how great it is, easily one of my favorite games of all time.

Another game I've been enjoying is Tunic, the game is challenging but the exploration in it is very unique, and in a way, nostalgic. You need to find pages of the instruction booklet and then read them to learn how to play. It feels like a mix between the first Legend of Zelda and Dark Souls.

I also recently played through a much simpler title, Lil Gator Game. Also taking inspiration from LoZ, it's an adorable story about growing up. Feels a lot like A Short Hike and lives up to the quality of it as well. Highly recommend for a cozy time.

Lately I've been stuck on Transport Fever 2 more than ever. My current map has been my favorite to work on so far, and I've lost way too much of my time to it. I think about the map so many times during the day and all the little improvements I can make to it, then get on after work intending to spend maybe half an hour making those fixes, only to realize that I've been playing for hours and the sun is already starting to come up again...

Another recent favorite is Indigo Park. It only has one chapter right now and is admittedly a little basic at the moment, but that incredibly cute critter that is the Park Guide, Rambley the Raccoon (my Avatar) carries so much of the game for me, and the game itself is great fun too even after multiple playthroughs! Chapter 2 is still a ways out, but I can't wait!

Zenless Zone Zero is my most recent favorite! I've played it so much that I have absolutely no content left in it until the next patch comes out.

The last one I was really impressed by was Lunistice. It’s an indie game inspired by games like Sonic Adventure and imo it controls much better. The graphics are low poly, but super colorful and charming and the music is pleasant to listen to. I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys 3D Sonic or just 3D platformers in general. It’s probably one the best $5 I’ve ever spent on a game.

Alba: A wildlife adventure (playing it for the second time)
I love videogames where you are a kid in a summer Adventure
And Road 96. Gosh I love that game so much (second time playing this too )

Oh I played Alba and liked it too! if you haven't played them yet, then I think you'd love A Short Hike and Lil Gator Game!

Recently? Bugsnax. The only things I have played for the first time this year are Bugsnax and Side Order, but the other is just DLC for Splatoon 3, so I won't count that.
I really like Bugsnax. I think it's an interesting and unique concept. I don't want to spoil anything, but the story is quite surprising.

I love Bugsnax! It was so much more fun than I initially expected to have. My sister and I are planning on having Bugsnax themed birthdays this year.

Pikmin 4 has been my latest! Pikmin 3 became one of my favorite games when I played it on the Wii U and I'm having so much fun with this one, it's everything I had hoped it would be. Lil Gator Game looks so cute I'll have to check that one out

Animal Crossing: Wild World, I didn't really give it a fair shot when I played it a couple years ago and eventually sold my old cartridge to my older brother, but recently I bought the game again and it has finally clicked with me like the other games in the series.

I really enjoyed Road 96. And the spinoff prequel was so insane I can't help but love how. How do you go from a randomly generated story game to a rhythm game? Absolutely nuts in the best way possible. I do prefer the story of the spinoff, maybe because it's more streamlined.

Really getting into Mortal Kombat 1’s Invasion mode now. I’m hyped for Khaos Reigns next week as well.

I just got The Plucky Squire a couple days ago and loved it! It's so fun and beautiful, I highly recommend it!

I also played Toem recently and it was very cute and cozy, I loved the art style.

i finished playing until then at the start of september, i love the game lots and lots!! go check it out!

Pioltwings Resort for the 3DS is an admittedly short but fun time, I'd recommend it especially if you love Pioltwings and Wii Sports Resort.

I also recently got the 3DS version of Scribblenauts Unlimited, while I already had the Wii U version, the 3DS version is a fairly faithful port with the only major downside is no custom avatar or object builder.

pan'orama, only because i just place tiles and see if i can beat my last high score. i also like that i can shut my brain off when it's been a hard day but am unsure on what to play. <":

Littlewood, and Wylde Flowers. Both so cute and cozy

I've been on a Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town binge lately and loving it. I'm in year five and living the bachelor lifestyle until I meet the requirements to marry the Harvest Goddess.

I played the original on the GameBoy Advance 20 years ago when I was living in another country for two years while my Dad was deployed there. I spent many nights playing way past bedtime as a teenager - especially as I got my friend into it too and we'd have sleepovers where we both stayed up until stupid o'clock in the morning playing it. So I think a big part of it is the nostalgia factor for me.
