What do you play a lot? Because I've been through many story games, I'm thinking of playing online games with friends.

Old TImer

"Assassin's Creed Odyssey...so much so that it has awakened an interest in classical ancient history that I have never explored before. Odyssey has led me to dive deeply in to Greek history, specifically that of Athens, Sparta, Corinth...even Syracuse and of course Darius, Xerxes and Alexander the Great. It has also re-ignited interest for me in Macedon, the Diadochi, Seleucids, Bactria and on and on, up to and including the Byzantines."

Same exact thing happened to me.  Now I can't get enough of the Wars of the Successors.  Also one of the reasons I was so disappointed in Imperator Rome

^I still haven't recovered fully. And Assassin's Creed Valhalla did the same thing with Viking history.

Disco Elysium almost got me interested in sobriety.

I was about to buy this on sale, but if it has that effect maybe I'll save the cash to spend on beer.

I highly recommend the game.  However I don't sugar coat that it'll be a game that makes you feel truly awful.

Heh.... same.  This is one of the few games that actually made me feel sad and pathetic for leaning into the drunken moron role-play.   :-\
I was waiting for a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one.

Can Osu be considered a full-fledged video game? Thanks to Osu, I am constantly practicing my aim and shooting skills. Thanks to Osu, I started playing games better.
