I saw a video on spawnwave that talked today about what games people are enjoying in 2026 right now. And the different reactions of different social media/sites.
I personally am loving Wild Blue Skie s. Its just starfox. Thats what I want to play!
BALL x PIT is a whole lot of fun. I didn’t think it would be but it keeps getting better and better.
I also liked FTL back in the day so I picked up Void War . Its like warhammer + FTL and its fantastic.
EDIT: You all are great! Keep them coming! So many games (video games and otherwise) in this list!

Slay the Spire 2. No matter how hard I try to escape, all roads lead back to the spire.
I’m currently playing “It Takes Two” with my wife. Super fun co-op game!
Rimworld grabbed me by the balls and isn’t letting me go. I asked for a 2 week vacation at work and spent pretty much the entire 2 weeks playing rimworld.
Committing war crimes in your off time?
Truely one of the few games you can put 2k hours into. I’m not nearly there yet but its one of those forever games.
Deadlock has been incredible. I have been playing since day one of the closed beta. It completely got me off of Overwatch which had been a ten year long experience.
Fire Emboem Fortunes Weave has been quite fun. My first FE since the GBA games.
Star Wars Zero Company, ZCOM. Perfect SW XCOM skinned game.
Playing The Witcher 3 for the first time. I bought the original when it first came out and just never played it. But they went to all the trouble to be super exceptional people and release the remaster for free so now I have to play it.
What the fuck was 10 years ago me thinking? This game is so fucking good.
I have found myself incurably addicted to the surf mini game found within Counter Strike Source. It is a $10 game that is over 20 years old and I have over 600 hours in it already with still a lot to learn. The skill cap is crazy high and it takes so long to master it but when you start getting decent, it’s so incredibly satisfying to hit a smooth run and beat your previous PB. You can even compete against other players in your country or globally to earn bragging rights for being one of the best!
I’ve picked up my original Skyrim save game from 2012. I still haven’t beaten the game.
Hollow Knight, but I am taking a break since I just cannot seem to beat the Traitor Lord boss. Every boss before that I managed in a couple tries but this one really beats me. Even got the top nail upgrade now, still hard. I’ll get him eventually…
I believe you have to have shadow dash to fight him. You can dash through every attack he does because he takes long enough between them.
Have tried it, just need to work on my rhythm, I think. Does take a long time like that.
i keep getting SO CLOSE to beating hornet and she kicks my ass every time.
Is that before or after Traitor Lord? I already fought her like 3 times!
Before. If you fought her where she throws the spikeballs that’s the last time
Ah yes, did that already. Phew!
Yeah, the Traitor boss is a bitch.
This one is quite hard iirc, i too struggle with it for some times. Mantis and their erratic movement always catch me offguard. The same as Nosk.
I totally admit that I “cheesed” Nosk a bit. Probably already a strategy written down online somewhere but I managed to figure out myself that if you stand right next/under the platform he cannot hit you well with this bubble attack and often just walks over you without damaging you, which when you can easily hit him.
When he goes into the ceiling for his drop attack stay at the entrance door where he cannot hit you, dashing away as soon as he does his skreech before falling on you.
Currently obsessed with Blue Prince even after “completing” it as I’m trying to figure out some of the remaining unsolved mysteries. Could possibly be that everything is solved but I’m a believer there is still more to be found.
Never finished Outer Wilds so decided to pick it uo again, start over, and get through it. Such a great game.
I tried it too, the parts I played were done very well, but fair warning: If you have anything like thalassophobia, it’s not going to be fun. I couldn’t do the water planet and even the fog stuff was too much for me. I need to be able to SEE where I’m going. Way too scary, that sutff.
Beautiful game. Still would like to play the DLC.
I gotta give that another try. I played it for a bit back when I had Game Pass, but it never really clicked for me
I really enjoyed that game, but I found the final iteration to be such a pain in the ass, that I eventually gave up and uninstalled it without finishing. Maybe I’ll try it again eventually. Still well worth playing, regardless.
Yeah, it does get a bit annoying at the end, I agree, but still think the ending was worth it.
I think I spent probably 20+ hours playing Control Resonant this weekend. Crazy good game.
I’m struggling my way through Dark Souls right now, just got to Blighttown. Souls-like games weren’t ever my jam previously but I just got into them recently after beating Mortal Shell 2 and figured I’d play my way through the Fromsoft catalogue in order.
I’m also playing Lies of P and that game is fantastic. Before that it was a lot of Hades and Pathogenic, which I still go back to for breaks from dieing in Dark Souls lol
In blighttown, torches are where the ladder is.
Fuck Blighttown.
All my homies hate Blighttown
I made it through, only lost 10,000 souls lol
Both are incredible games, with incredible DLC’s. enjoy! (Also Blightown is not as bad as it’s made out to be.)
We have a nice and cozy souls-like community, (and Matrix /discord channels) if you’d like to join and share about your playthroughs
!soulslike@lemmy.zip, hope to see you there. :D

I’m not and that makes me very sad. To much real life going on and I’m in desperate need of the escapism.
Dressmaker! I love making my mostly hideous dresses with one or two very lovely dresses thrown in! And it’s nice you can undo cuts unlike irl where gg, wasted fabric. Love you magic game fabric!
I’ll likely get some mods soon and just go wild adding a bunch of new fabrics!
Your like the third person here talking about that game. I’m gonna recommend it to my wife.
It’s nice! I also like the story of the little town we’re in. Making dresses for some absolutely Very Normal People.
