The last year, in reverse chronological order:

- Captain Spirit (PS4, the demo of Life Is Strange 2, promising)

- Detroit: Become Human (PS4, a bit repetitive sometimes, a great game nonetheless)

- The Last Guardian (PS4, now my #1 all time favorite)

- Life Is Strange (PS3, an adolescent girl simulator with a—dark—twist)

- Heavy Rain (PS3, is that even possible to get a "good" ending?)

- Destiny 2 (PC, just like Destiny but more of it)

And Twenty on Android, which has made my daily commute feel like teleportation for two years.

For RPG goodness, Divinity: Original Sin is one of the best isometric view point games I’ve ever played. Skyrim for first person goodness.

For tactical squad based games, I am still playing X-Com. After this play through, I am finally firing up X-Com 2. If you are a tabletop miniatures gamer who can’t get out of the house enough to get your fix, this series is a great substitute for 40k/Infinity/Imperial Assault.

Pacman: http://masswerk.at/JavaPac/JS-PacMan2.html

Hunt The Wumpus

Adventure

That's about it. Every now and then I'll dig out my Raspberry Pi that runs RetroPi and play some Nobunaga's Ambition (the NES version).

Tower of Hero (android)

Minecraft (PC Java edition and Xbox one)

Total Annihilation

Age of Empires Age of Kings

I help my son play some games - Fortnite Battle Royale; BattleFront II; the Lego games (on 3ds and switch)

I was enjoying Alcazar, but it just crashes all the time now.

Factorio. (Warning: for a lot of the readers here, massive potential of getting sucked in for dozens to hundreds of hours)

Opus Magnum.

Fallout 4 right now.

Right now, just Quake Champions. I played Overwatch for a while but I like the fast pace and simplicity of Quake.
