It has again been a while since we ask you, our wonderful community about your gaming picks recently, so let's have another chat in the comments. Sunday for a lot of people is a time for rest, relaxation and plenty of gaming!
Before you jump down to that comments box, here's what I've been playing plenty of recently.
It might come as no surprise but I've been diving into plenty of Half-Life: Alyx. Still not completed it yet, as it's been a regular slot in our Twitch livestreams (come follow us!). Mind-blowing is pretty much an understatement on how excellent it really is. Given how SteamVR on Linux is still quite rough, it's been very stable too - with one single hard lock up during my current 16 hour time spent in it. There's so much to enjoy about it I don't know where to start and end talking about it.
Direct Link
With such an experience it's pretty overloading, there's so many things I've missed that's going to need another play-through to catch all the details put into it. I'm constantly discovering small details that really make it great.
Over to you in the comments: what have you been playing and is it any good?
Aside from that, I have been playing a little bit of Hero Loop (after beating the first boss several times, I discovered that there was a second chapter button available... duh!), The Darkside Detective, Huntdown (in co-op), and finally started Children of Morta in co-op. We played only a couple of hours, but the game really seems promising
Despite the annoyances (it takes literally ten minutes from clicking “Play” in Steam to actually being in the game... and we laugh at five-minute loading times from cassettes in the '80s*), it's all good violent fun.
*In fairness, it's not so much the loading times as the failing-to-connect-to-the-Squenix-server times. On a single-player game. Sheesh.
I've also been lining up my next outings (that I probably won't get to for months) such as Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero (both Proton) as well as Delta-V: Rings of Saturn (Native) (Sorry, don't know how to make the proper delta symbol on my keyboard).
Did a complete run of the whole Metro Series games to try to get the good endings (Failed in 2033 and Last Light again even though I followed a wiki. Go figure...)
There is always Witcher 3 that I keep close by, in case...
I'm in the process of building a 3D printed Racing Wheel support for the Steam Controller to play Dirt 4:

Really looking forward to that thing...
Stadia:
Played Marvel's Avengers and completed a Rage 2 run that I started quite a while back and now I'm playing in alternance Grid & Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.
See more from me
