I have continued my Kenshi antics, killing slavers and freeing everyone. I have most of the UC slave farms down now and finally finished my "I got the Phoenix" world tour and handed him to the Shek.
Also bashed through a lot of Jump Space with friends. 4p co-op mission-based PvE space FPS, think Deep Rock on a ship. Love it. Incredible pacing, honest. Could use some player progression, but I'm assuming that's just the early-access-ness. If this is all that ever comes of it, I'll still have gotten my money's worth and would just think of it as a bit repetitive on the content. But fun as hell.
Tried Arc Raiders. Absolutely furious about it. Gamers suck. Thought this could be a learning moment for them since all meaningful loot comes from not-other-players, so the PvPvE should really lead to mostly PvE play and freeform team-ups, but gamers are gamers and deserve the gulag. It's just another Tarkov; most players are pieces of shit. (Note: I have not gotten good, but the moral judgement stands.)
God grimrock was so peak. grimrock 2 is to me the absolute peak of that genre.
I have not found anything that scratched that itch the same way since. I haven't really been looking to be fair, but the few things I did see were missing something for me.
