I saw a video on spawnwave that talked today about what games people are enjoying in 2026 right now. And the different reactions of different social media/sites.
I personally am loving Wild Blue Skie s. Its just starfox. Thats what I want to play!
BALL x PIT is a whole lot of fun. I didn’t think it would be but it keeps getting better and better.
I also liked FTL back in the day so I picked up Void War . Its like warhammer + FTL and its fantastic.
EDIT: You all are great! Keep them coming! So many games (video games and otherwise) in this list!
I played the VR games “I Expect You To Die” 1-3. They were the first VR games that actually hooked me and the intros are absolutely phenomenal. When I started with the first one and saw the intro I thought to myself that the intro went way too hard for a VR game. And the next two only went harder. The gameplay is very fun and engaging.
Then I played through Goodnight Universe in one evening. It was a beautiful experience. I even shed a few tears. Highly recommend.
Currently I am playing the Gothic Remake. It’s not very beginner friendly and I’m not sure if I like it yet.
Gothic was stupid hard at the beginning, but holy fuck does it get good.
