New week, new thread! What are you playing?
Continuing Super Robot Wars V. 2 scenarios left to reach ending B! This Japanese guide I am following says this route is more difficult than the other one, but the stage I just did was still pretty easy lol.
Also started Dungeons of Hinterberg to shake things up. Played it a bit on Game Pass in 2023. Now playing on Steam. Very nice game.

Another year, let's look at some more screenshots.
Any platform, any game.
Shouldnt really be an issue as now you can just upload images directly here, but please don't use imgur as us in the UK can't access it anymore.
Spellforce: Platinum Edition (PC)
New week, new thread! What are you playing?
Continuing Super Robot Wars V. I've reached the final branch which leads to ending A and B. Each route has 3 scenarios and I plan to play both, so 6 scenarios left in total. After 100 hours, the end is finally in sight! Enjoying it a lot.
After completing this playthrough, I will probably watch a few anime shows featured here and play some other games before starting another playthrough with the other protagonist.
We just finished a successful twenty-fifth season of the Backlog Blitz. Or series if you're British. What happened during this last quarter that's worth noting? Well, 2025 finally ended. That means this next year will be great, right? RIGHT?! This last year was a great year for indies so will 2025 be a big year for the big publishers? Based on how they've been doing, we'll see. But this first quarter is starting off pretty big as February is heavy loaded. Can't wait for the new Resident...

Because from time to time we actually play games instead of pretending that we do, we all need some space to share our achievements.
Feel free to claim a post, and you can update it with the list of the games you have beating during the year. There's no rule for what counts as 'finished', as long as you personally feel you're done with the game.
I'll unstick last year's thread but I'll keep it open.
Entering 2026! What are you playing?
Continuing Super Robot Wars V. Got both Mazinger ZERO and Mazin Emperor G. They are overpowered and their animations go insanely hard. The stage was the hardest one so far (still not too hard) but holy shit what a satisfying outcome. Finally get the feeling of entering late game as the enemies are getting tankier, but our guns are also getting bigger lol. Soon I need to plan out which units to raise to Ace so that they can be buffed further.

Looking back, it is safe to say that a lot happened in gaming in 2025. Good things. Bad things. Good videogames. Bad videogames. Nevertheless, 2026 is right around the corner, and it is time, again, for you to tell us what you are looking forward to play next year!
Grand Theft Auto VI
Don't delay again, ok?
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly
I'm a coward who seldom plays horror games. But being a return of an old classic, Fatal Frame 2 seems too good to miss.

WEEK 52! What are you playing?
Continuing Super Robot Wars V. Just cleared Scenario 28 (/52), so slightly less than halfway to go. The story is great. It has to be a lot of work to consolidate the stories of all these mecha shows into three timelines with convincing background story. There are also some story branches (as expected from a SRW game), and after some considerations, I decided to aim for going through all Cross Ange stages in this playthrough because I have fresh memories on the...
Does anybody know a site that works like Song.Link does ( Example ), but you can link to a video game and it would show you a bunch of store/stream/rental/etc. links for that game? Main reason I'm asking is wanting a convenient way to link games to a mixed audience of PC and Console gamers.

New week, new thread! What are you playing?
Continuing Super Robot Wars V. Passed the 30-hour mark and reached Scenario 22. I'm following a guide to get all secrets so I know the total number of Scenario. There are still over 30 left. :face-with-cold-sweat: After this playthrough, I plan to start the NG+ and play the other route, too. So there's a ton of content remaining. On the other hand, I also finished watching Cross Ange. Fun show. Embryo has to be one of the most pathetic villains I...
New week, new thread! What are you playing?
Continuing Super Robot Wars V. In the previous thread, I wrote that the story is confusing since I haven't watched Might Gaine and Nadesico, but I pushed through anyway and now entered the Cross Ange storyline. I did end up watching a few episodes of Nadesico but decided to drop it for now. Why? Because I started watching Cross Ange. :face-with-tears-of-joy: Story and writing is cringy at best and atrocious at worst but, to be frank, the show is...

New week, new thread! What are you playing?
Continuing Super Robot Wars V. I'm doing one scenario per day / two days, Gundam 00Q and Raphael Gundam just joined the party in the last scenario. 00Q is one of my favorite Gundam designs (Exia and 00 / 00 Raiser are also great) so I will be using it a lot. It should be very OP, too, if the developers are adjusting the stats based on its performance in the movie. Already done a bit of upgrade so excited to try it out soon.

Continuing Harvestella. I'm going through the first climax of the story at the moment. Feeling great.
New week, new thread! What are you playing?
I was kinda busy during the past week, so I didn't play much. Only a bit of Harvestella. Also re-read the Deep Dive story event of Girls' Frontline 1 to prepare for GFL2 anniversary.
New week, new thread! What are you playing?
In preparation for the upcoming 1st anniversary of Girls' Frontline 2, I have been putting a lot of time into it. After reading through the great event story, I turn my focus onto the roguelike mode. This is my favorite gameplay mode in the game despite the fact that it takes nearly an hour to complete 1 run. Like most roguelike games out there, players need to go through a map to collect modifiers in order to beat the final boss. The mode is easy...
New week, new thread! What are you playing?
Continuing Harvestella. Up to chapter 3A. I still remember many of the story beats and music tracks. Enjoying it immensely.
