I had some fun with FIFA 15 last month. Played some online games and advanced a couple of divisions. Also played it in co-op here and there.

I was going to write about games I have played on Steam, but I have 0,5 hours played in the past two weeks.

 

[skacky]

The Witcher 3. I'd go as far as to say it is on par with Gothic 2: Night of the Raven as my favorite medieval-ish RPG. It's that good.

 

[mindx2]

Telepath Tactics - never played a "tactics" game before this but got hooked despite some annoying bugs.

 

[deuxhero]

Splatoon is pretty fun.

 

[Raghar]

Tales of Xillia. Atelier Rorona. GTA V. Disgaea 4.

 

[Siveon]

Monkey Island.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.
Exanima.

I immensely enjoyed playing the last remake of Avernum. I hadn't played this game since its early Exile days and, surprisingly, this game really grabbed me. Decent writing, good dungeons, some nice hard fights but where the game really excels is exploration. Vogel may be milking the same stuff for years, but what he does he does good.

Oh, cool, I thought the Avernum remakes were a dud. Glad I bought them. I'm shit with emulation so playing the Exile games would've proved to be quite a task for me.

E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy for me. Put it off for a while, since I get bored of FPS very quickly, but it's less pewpewpew and more BOOMBOOMBOOM, with added mindfuckery.

*Turns out that recording a MI longplay is genuinely enjoyable too if somewhat stressy.

You do longplays? Where do you upload them to, the semi popular cubex55 channel by any chance?

I enjoyed Dead State even in its broken release version. With the patches since then, I am confident to tell anyone in doubt between picking either it and MOBArs of Sawyerity the following: don't believe in the paid shills slowly selling out this site and running the Codex News and the Codex Steam Curator List, Dead State is better than the overrated and unfun mediocrity of PoE.

I'm having a good time with Card Dungeon.
I will add a nice screenshot.

I should also really start playing DS soon... Got no reason not to

 

[Sizzle]

Pillars of Eternity, Dead State, M&M X.

 

[bloodlover]

HOMM3 but Hot Seat with a buddy. Playing all night an XL 8players map is still fun as hell even after countless maps and nights spent the same way.

 

[Jaesun]

I'm having a good time with Card Dungeon.

Glad you mentioned that, I had been meaning to pick that up (and it's 10% off right now).

Bought it, and lasted 19 minutes. I couldn't find any weapon cards (both of mine were destroyed). All I could find were healing cards. :RAGE:

Interesting game, I like it.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Ah! Protip, as weird as it sounds, you should NOT pick up loot the moment it drops, especially if you have a full set of cards in good condition. Leave them in place, run to grab 'em if the need arises.

Also use the hotkeys that they implemented, makes stuff move generally faster.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

witcher 3, but i somewhat expected it.
dragon ball xenoverse, tottally out of the blue.

 

[Matalarata]

I bought Cities Skylines recently. Great game, nothing else to add if you're even remotely interested in city builders.
A recent patch allowed for the construction of tunnels: an ocean of possibility blew my mind, mistakes were made and ideas were tested with varying degrees of success.
I regret nothing!

Also Dominions 4. Having a blast! The only game I know capable of being totally unpredictable even for veterans, with a massive number of intricate spells and interesting units to field. Just great!

 

[Curious_Tongue]

Railroad Tycoon 3

Not being edgy, it's fun as fuck.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

Oh, I've discovered a online casual game that's eating into my uni grades.

Agar.io

 

[moraes]

Technobabylon

Witcher 3 (but I've the playthrough on hold till they patch the patch that was supposed to patch the xp bug)

King's Bounty: Darkside

 

[paintinggrey]

Putting all of the game's problems aside, surprisingly I enjoyed Dead State. Clocked around 100 hours on it and its pretty fun looting shit.

 

[nomask7]

Demon's Souls
Dark Souls
Dark Souls II
ADOM (ASCII-version FTW!)
Arx Fatalis (Arx Libertatis)

Thank God for the Souls series...

Tried out the Road Redemption early access this weekend. It's still pretty rough and it doesn't have all the features I would from a Road Rash successor, but damn if they didn't nail the feel of RR's gameplay and even improve on it in some ways.



If you don't have a back copy I'd recommend waiting for the full release though.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Agar.io at work.
Witcher 3, Heroes of the Storm, Telepath Tactics, Outlaws and Killing Floor 2 at home.

Edito:
Twitcher 3: AAA+ RPG done right, had fun for 110 hours.
HotS: Can't handle Dota2 s long game times any more? NP Blizzard is always there to streamline.
Telepath Tactics: Brutal little game. Brutal becasuse of mostly bugs though :/
Outlaws: MARSHALL!!!!!1!!!
Killing Floor 2: Mindless Fun, 50-60 player maps was fun while they lasted :D

I've had a blast with Evil Genius recently. Also, I found the perfect way to go about it:

1) Do not rush to the ending - take your time.
2) Do not, under any circumstances, go to wikis for help. Rather, go into it completely blind and fail miserably a couple of times before getting good at it.
3) Resist the urge to strive for 100% efficiency. Solving crises caused by agents getting through your defenses and raging at the stupidity of your minions pissed me off at first, but then I realized that I felt like a criminal mastermind surrounded by incompetent idiots. Priceless
4) and most importantly - since the game involves a lot of waiting - grab a laptop or tablet and fire up your favorite bond movie to play in the background. I ended up binge-watching almost all of them over the course of the playthrough.
