I've been diving back into Ghost Recon Wildlands after discovering just how damn enjoyable the game is at the highest difficulty levels. Suddenly sniper rifles and stealth are the only viable playstyles, and I feel like I'm actually being tested by the AI rather than watching all these paper narcos obligingly fall over and die for my amusement. I also love how unwoke the game is. Very America Fuck Yeah.
I also dusted off Master of Magic. Still haven't found a 4X that rivals it in my eyes, and it's not nostalgia talking. I actually never played it growing up (though I played MoO and MoO2 like my childhood depended on it). Good shit.
I've recently went om a Monster Hunter Ultimate binge. The entire series has gone under my radar until recently, which is a shame.
Its interesting how elements that would've annoyed me in other games - clunky menu systems, endless tutorials, postage stamp sized zones, gear fetishism - are quite enjoyable in MH. It's like someone took a generic grindy jrpg mmo and packed it full of really fun quests and features.
