    Heya Legionnaires 👋

    I know we’re a bit past the halfway mark of 2025, but I thought it’d still be fun to do a quick check-in.

    What games have you already played this year, what are you currently playing, and what do you plan to play before the year wraps up?

    Drop a 5 star rating next to each game and a short sentence sharing your experience with it. Could be helpful for anyone here looking for their next pick.

    I’ll drop mine below to get things started 😄

    Played So Far:

    - Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon 🐉🐉🐉🐉
    For those who don't know, the previous Yakuza games were real-time beat 'em ups. Then comes Yakuza 7 with a twist, it's turn-based now. I was skeptical at first, but wow this change was exactly what the series needed.

    - Yakuza: The Man Who Erased His Name 🐉🐉🐉
    A short side story in the Yakuza series. The game was really good, but also had a lot of pointless bloat that dragged it down a bit.

    - Prince of Persia - The Lost Crown ⏳⏳⏳⏳
    If you're into Hollow Knight or metroidvania games in general, you HAVE to try this. The power-ups and mechanics are incredibly fun and unlock at a satisfying pace. Totally surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

    Currently Playing:

    - Marvel Rivals ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    This is it. I’ve finally found a multiplayer game that can replace Rocket League for me. Started because of Game Nights in this community, but I’m still playing it nearly every day.

    - Expedition 33 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    Not too deep into it yet, but this is one of those rare games where the hype feels absolutely justified. Incredible vibe so far, and that music 😤

    Plan to Play Before 2026 Hits:

    - The Saboteur
    I was already curious about the game, but then @Abdelsalam came in and further piqued my interest in the game.

    - Death Stranding 2

    - Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

    - Battlefield 6
    Please be good please be good PLEASE BE GOOD!!!!!!!

    My list so far includes many indie games:

    • Shattered Pixel Dungeon – Great roguelike, but hard.
    • 9 Kings – Awesome deck-building game.
    • Quasimorph – Brutal sci-fi roguelike; really hard.
    • Elden Ring: Nightreign – Love it so far.
    • Noita – Beautiful game, but can be hard and confusing when you start.
    • Dome Keeper – Awesome mining game; not hard, but can be challenging at times.
    • Against the Storm – One of the best strategy games ever made.
    • Inscryption – This game is just a piece of art.
