I played through the first Chapter of Hard West 2 and it's pretty good! There are some flaws that can be pointed out and I don't think it's likely to have much replayability, but the aesthetics and combat mechanics are quite good. If you like turn-based tactics, this one is worth taking a look at for $24.

What are you playing?

Hated the CYOA nature of HW1 and was unimpressed by the tactics.

Right now I'm mostly just letting Distant Worlds 2 play itself while I do other things. I occasionally dip into Cyberpunk 2077 to marvel at the production quality, sometimes Terra Invicta to see how the Early Access is going, but I'm not sticking around much.

Huh. That's not a sentence I expected to see based on what I've heard.

There's a resurgence in the player base lately. Apparently the latest patch fixed a lot of the issues.

Edgerunners seems to have driven a lot of new players too.
