    Yes, the easy ones for modding are the games that have the steam workshop support, but adding mods say via nexus would require it to be installed vis the desktop.

    So I started Disco Elysium and I'm not sure what to think. An entire game on existential dread? OTOH I can see why people love it. OTOH, it's depression sim. My first character 'died' from too much self-awareness/emotion within the first 2 hours of starting. It's interesting but I'm not sure if it's the escape I'm looking for.

    I just tried the game Tryp FPV which is a drone simulator game but it's buggy and clunky, crashes to desktop and doesn't function well.

    I can fly a real drone and have a couple which I fly sometimes on good days and the game really doesn't function like my drones at all. Refunded to steam and got refund.

    I know what you mean. I've tried playing it, but apparently the game hates my computer and refuses to work properly. And I had apparently soft-locked myself from being able progress due to staying up past the curfew, which essentially broke the game for me.

    I felt like the game was trying too hard to be clever and "deep" and to me this felt really pretentious.

    There's another game like this but only on steam called The Stanley Parable and I loathe it but meh, whatever people seem to love it.

    I've seen that one being played on a stream, but honestly, I didn't get the humor.

    Yeah I didn't care much for The Stanley Parable either.

    I did finish Hogwart's Legacy and I really enjoyed it. I don't care at all about HP, but I had a ton of fun playing the game.

    The Talos Principal 2 is honestly my game of the year, even in this insane last eleven months. (Pikmin 4 second place?! Zelda third...) Highly recommended.

    So I stuck it out and finished Disco Elysium and I think it's a pretty good game that is hard to get into. It's definitely over-hyped though. IDK how I'd feel about it as a full price game but as a free/subscription game it's alright.

    I'm trying out Dead Space now. It's on game pass and I never played the OG version.

    Well i decided that it was time to plat Skyrim vr on the PS4 pro, and i forgot at just what a great vr hmd the PSVR is, oled flat lense and not a frensel ring in sight, and none of that grey haze dull colours and grey blacks of those horrible lcd hmds, Sony really did knock it out that park back in 2016 with this.

    Well only 35 pockets to pick. Lol

    King of Fighters All Star, mobile game. I've made good progress without paying for any goodies. But this game is really, really repetitive.

    been towers of time grinding like crazy for the fighters in Mortal Kombat 11 for my X Box One S. alot of catching up to do where some of them were still at level 3 or 4 for the character towers. Plus im playing online for Kombat league for the Reptile Scorpion outfit. and of course other people are complete psychos online for Kombat league where they always have to rush to pick Scorpion, Lao and/or Saibot for the stupid teleport slam spam fests and the crazy combos they do when they pick Shao Kahn or Kotal where i cant even damage them.

    Most of the time i just quit the damn match because i dont want to deal with them teleport slamming me constantly

    I've never tried a VR headset but taking on a Centurion in Skyrim with one would be amazing and would make a great demo mode for the device. Not much in computer games makes me jump these days but giant robots trying to remove my vital organs always will. It's a thrill I don't experience with humanoid enemies. I've never tried Vampire: Bloodlines and from what I've read it's well worth playing so when I can drag myself away from Cyrodiil I'll be trying that. I love a genuinely scary game and I imagine the scare factor is amplified with a VR headset.

    The psvr hmd is usually cheap to buy second hand, and it will run on a normal ps4, or if you have a ps4 pro or ps5 it will run a enhanded version which basically makes everything nice and sharp.......plus the psvr is oled, and skyrim vr with it's dark caves and night and day looks cycles and dynamic weather is stunning on it....skyrim vr is just perfect for vr, sneaking about and then hearing a big spider drop down behind you is the stuff of nightmares, and all in deep blacks and rich vibrant colours and subtle hues that only a oled vr hmd can bring to the game, a game i am still playing 5 years later. Lol

    I recently played Robocop: Rogue City. This is a great game for me, as it is like the games I used to play on XBOX 360. Many of the more recent games, like Control, Trepang 2, and Starfield, seem to have this idea that a good way to challenge players is to swarm them with numerous enemies. Older games, like Bioshock, Dead Space, and FEAR, went with the idea to have a set number of enemies who had some actual "intelligence" with their movements and the player had to be creative with the methods they used to get through the enemies. Robocop is like these games and, so, I enjoyed it very much. I am looking forward to playing it again in the future.

    What's the structure of the game is it levels or open world or more linear?
