Often happens anyways. Share what you have been playing.
For me I've been hooked on Nightingale recently. A survival crafting game. Their twist on the genre is to have different "realms" or maps where you can explore and collect stuff. The realms can be upgraded to be more difficult and thus provide more resources.
The game feels like a bit of a slog at times, but that is also what I was sorta looking for. A game I could play semi-mindlessly while listening to podcasts. The main frustration has not been gameplay, but a developer decision to make the game always online. Most of the bugs I have encountered are server related. Which is an extreme frustration since I'm basically playing the game like its singleplayer. I am confused why they made the server requirement a thing at all. It just seems like extra crap to maintain.
DayZ was one of those games that kinda looked like a money-grab. It went viral and sold massively well but was a third done, buggy etc.
To my enduring surprise, development continud with a small team and the game now runs pretty well, and still has a very big player base. They seem to want to release a new map DLC every 18 months or so.
ATM playing on a slightly arcade-y (food consumption a bit down, stamina is really high so people run around) first-person only Livonia server. I can't stand 3rd person, it allows spying on people without risking anything.
