Kingdom Two Crowns and all its variations from Raw Fury. I especially like Norselands. I also play it on my iPad. It's quite addictive and the music is good too.
 
Horizon Zero Dawn, finally. I had stopped for a long time because of motion sickness with most games on my PS4, but solved that recently by using Remote Play to my MBA. What a relief. I could swear last time I tried Remote Play years ago, it didn't work very well on a Mac, so kind of forgot about that as an option.
Is it the smaller screen that helps?

I guess so because I can see more of the room and outside in my peripheral vision. I tried all of the console-based suggestions including putting a white dot on my TV screen. Within 5-10 minutes that familiar nauseous feeling returned. The only thing I didn't try was taking dramamine, which seems like .... taking a med to play games? Nah. I did try ginger though but to no effect.

I'm very pleased with how smooth Remote Play works.

Glad you found a solution that works. Motion sickness is awful.

There’s this oil that you can buy from Walmart/target and possibly any other big box store. You put/tub some on your ear and it helps with motion sickness.
I normally don’t get motion sickness, but one summer ride in a tour submarine and I felt light headed when on boat ride back to pier (oil cured it). Wife needs meds/oil when on boat rides. Maybe try that, but if the smaller screen is sufficient….game on

finished Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart. What a fun game. Cool graphics, awesome controls, really loved it.

Next up: replaying God of War to prepare myself for God of War Ragnarok!
 
I paid for Halo infinite, and after about 1 day, I was fortunate enough to get a refund on this. The biggest problem at least for me was the tutorial that you had to finish first before you go onto the game play and for the life of me, I could not finish the tutorial that was mandatory. I’m 77 years old and had a mild stroke a few years back so this may had something to do with it, but I read a lot of ranting of this requirement of finishing the tutorial first which is silly and unnecessary.

I am now playing far cry 5 which I’m now enjoying. 🤗

Only a couple decades late, but decided to try out Eve Online. I generally run it on my desktop PC, but it runs surprisingly well on my MBA too.

I remain convinced that Far Cry has the best player movement engine of any FPS - it's so fluid, and so connected up, running, sliding, the wingsuit gliding. Very few games embody through the controller as well.
 
The Last of Us Part 1

Played through in the past.
Picked up teh new 'upgraded' version.
Completed it last week, and now playing through the '+' version of the game again.

Once complete I'll play through the second one again too.
Such a masterpiece of a game!

All this while I'm waiting for Assassins Creed Mirage......

Grinding on MK11 and RDR2 Online. I wish they didnt drop further content updates for red dead :(
 
Starting Ragnarok tonight! There was a national strike because of the inflation in Belgium and ofcourse the delivery service joined the strike... FFS...
 
I've got it set to performance mode and still the graphics (to me) are jaw dropping.
Same here, and what an awesome game... Can't give it a 10/10 though, but a 9/10. Those hidden loading screens are annoying (small ledge or crack, move a big cart/boulder, etc) but they are obviously needed for the PS4-version...
Looks like @BlankStar will have to think of a new excuse not to play Witcher 3!

I started playing the Witcher 3 and litteraly five days later they announced their PS5-patch... Been waiting ever since... Gonna have to think it over to play it in december though, since Hogwarts Legacy is getting released in februari and I'll need a looooooooooong time for The Witcher 3...
 
Random fact: Witcher is such a big game franchise that CD Projekt Red is one of the most valuable public companies in Poland (even after the Cyberpunk fiasco, ha ha). So much so that if you buy any mutual fund or ETF that uses the MSCI World index as its benchmark, you will be a part owner of CD Projekt Red!
