Quit World of Warcraft recently Because I couldn't justify the subscription anymore. It's been really hard to find a game to put time into and keep my attention. I tried OverWatch 2 but that game is hot fecal matter. Stardew Valley is fun for a little while, all my friends quit though And that's who I played with. Team fortress is good I guess as well, gets repetitive though. And that game is old as heck...

So I'm like hey, you know what? I'll try deadlocked, this new early access valve game. Holy crap this is actually fun! It's like Dota or League of Legends, mixed with OverWatch. Some of the characters even mimic some of the exact mechanics of the game, for example one of the characters has an ultimate ability where you spin around in circles dealing damage to everything, like they copied it off of reaper in OverWatch. But hey, I'm not really complaining, who cares right?

Valve honestly makes some of the best games ever, every time I play one it's a banger that gets my attention for thousands of hours and this one has been so damn fun. I'm surprised more people aren't playing it, it's just crazy how fun it is and how addictive it is.

It’s single player, but have you tried Baldur’s Gate 3 yet? I have around 400 hours in the game. It’s probably the best game I’ve ever played.

Pro tip: use a controller. The experience is much better with a controller.

The controller tip is insane. Use mouse and keyboard

The controller experience is really well thought through and the game is definitely playable with the controller. That said, I still chose kb+m because I felt like I got a better overview of a situation and the options I had in that situation, but I could see why someone would think the controller option is more immersive.

I strongly disagree, but that might be because I started playing on PS5 and didn’t move to PC until over a hundred hours in. Movement and interaction with the environment just seems a lot more immersive to me with the controller than with a mouse.
