Multiplayer-wise, I've been playing Rocket league and Ghost Recon with the tuckster.
Vampire Survivors is so good! Everyone should play it

im playing another one of those survival city builders, furthest frontier. its good for a few hours and then its like, what is the point to any of this. they keep making these games with no objectives or campaigns or whatever so you just figure the system out, make a thousand-person city slowly and then its like, ok i guess thats the entire game.

also getting into unity of command 2, which is a pretty cool/cutting edge wargame. its like panzer general or something like that but your units are grouped into armies that have their own special abilities that you can upgrade over time. it is sort of funny to think about, like patton didn't figure out how to have his units perform feints until he'd gathered enough experience points, but it does add an extra layer to things.

i also played a bunch of vicky 3 and i'm going to leave it for the next patch or expansion i think. the economic model is way better than in the last game. its very easy to take control of the economy as an underdeveloped nation, which is ahistorical but i can't imagine a realistic game where if you try to move a budget slider or raise a tax you get invaded and overthrown would be that much fun. but turning qajar iran into an industrial powerhouse and crushing the landowners in a war over slavery was cool.
