What are you all playing right now?
I'm staying away from Steam because I don't have time to get absorbed into anything serious right now and therefore sticking to mobile games. Right now I'm into Tiny Tower and Tiny Tower Vegas because I love the retro art, the humor, and elevators (not kidding). It's very simple and you can play for as little or as long as you want. Doesn't require wi-fi either.

I am also playing Kingdom of Loathing, which my boyfriend introduced me to lo these many years ago (seriously I think it was 2005) and which I find delightful because they never stop expanding and adding to the game.
(On Steam I mostly play hidden-object puzzle games, which take a day or so and are then forgotten, but which keep me occupied.)

Oh I've played Township! It's a great game. I stopped playing it because I was already way too invested in Hay Day and The Tribez but I miss all the little folk walking around (and the mountain climber!) and helicopter deliveries. :)
I'd never heard of Kingdom of Loathing but it looks like a very cool RPG.
I also play hidden-object games from time to time. I have three on my table: Criminal Case and its sequel, and Hidden City.

I was playing Tribez for a while, it just became too cumbersome with all the islands &c.

Yeah, I only play once in a while. Otherwise it's a bit overwhelming. Plus they do events all the time now and I found this annoying.

(I really enjoyed Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but I think part of that is because I'd been there. Never been to the Boston area.)

Though I'm also still managing to keep my virtual succulents alive in Viridi, and my friend mentioned I Love Hue which I've been working through stages of every night as a relaxing pre-bedtime game. You take scrambled colored tiles and rearrange them into a gradient. Nice color theory exercise, too.

I can't stop
I really need to work on some other games but Warframe keeps calling to me and it's so easy to pick up and put down whenever I want to.

I've been doing a lot of mobile gaming for the most part, Township, Gardenscapes, Pocket Plants, and then a lot of mobile board games like Tokaido, Ascension, and Ticket to Ride. Videogames I've been almost entirely playing Overwatch and then playing Dragon Age: Inquisition for the.... fifth time? >.>
no subject
Never heard of Pocket Plants, will have to look into it.
Wait. Tokaido is on mobile?! How come I'm never heard of it? Do you know if it's only on iOS or also on Android?

I just finished Owlboy, where I loved the art, loved the music, and thought the gameplay was meh.
no subject
Oh, I have Owlboy on Steam. The review from Rock, Paper, Shotgun made it clear it wasn't without flaws but I couldn't resist. It looked so amazing. I'm glad to hear art and music were great.

It's a remake of the old NES game Blaster Master, with most of the Nintendo Hard stuff ameliorated--there are save points instead of limited continues, an actual map, and so on. Also an anime-as-hell story as opposed to everything plot-related found in the manual. So far, I really like it, though I'm not that far in.

RPS is where I first heard about it too, and the reason I bought it!
It's not a bad game, I just wish that the designers had leaned more toward the leisurely flying and exploring side of the game, and less the timing-based boss fights and precision flying corridors.

On my phone, I am playing Rollercoaster Tycoon. It's a lot of fun!
no subject
Oh I didn't know Rollercoaster Tycoon was also on mobile. Very cool!

Currently I'm making my way through Pokemon Moon. I started playing it when it came out, had to set it aside when life happened, and have finally gotten to pick it back up. Also Stardew Valley or The Sims 4 when I have a chance, although those usually require a bit more of a time investment!
It's really cool to see the variety in the games everyone's playing!
no subject
I love Stardew and the Sims. It's been a while since I've played, though. I'm on my second farm in Stardew since CA added starting farms. I was hoping to play it on the Switch too.
