19th Edition: The Post of Vice. What did you play in 2025? (The AI Edition ?)

[_Neptunno_]

I'll tell you a bit about my balance of this 2025. Unlike last year, I've been able to give it much more "gas", and although the classics are still my downfall, I've played more current titles.

Here's the summary of my addiction this year:
The Stars

Stray: One of the surprises of the year. Ten out of ten in aesthetics and gameplay, it completely hooked me. I recommend it, I think more than one will like it
Pacific Drive: I put about 12 hours into it. The atmosphere is incredible, although I admit that the object farming got a bit repetitive towards the end. I still have to finish its story!
GTA San Andreas Remaster: Returning to San Andreas after 20 years has been a brutal nostalgic journey. Despite the known bugs, it visually holds up and is enjoyable. By the way… I still haven't finished it xD
Penumbra Overture: Finally crossed off the pending list. A classic from 2008 that I loved finishing; now on to the next in the saga (trilogy).


️ Indies and Simulators

Any Way Out: A short indie, simple but interesting that I got on sale on Steam.
A bit of simulation : A few hours in Green Hell, Trans-Siberian, Bus Simulator 16, Train Valley 1, and Deconstruction Simulator. Of these, I'm eager to give more time to "Trans-Siberian", it promises a lot, although it's complicated to find hours when there's so much to "pick at".

Varied snacking:
Cyberpunk 2077 and Battlefield 6, although I didn't dedicate all the time they deserve… not even close. I'll try to give them more time in 2026, we'll see if I can manage it.

The Corner of Lara Croft:

In February, I bought the second remastered trilogy!! So from February to April, I dedicated myself to: TR II, TR IV, and TR V (Chronicles) Remastered.

And as is tradition, the author's levels:

- Christmas 2024:
Brutal the Another Bloody Christmas, long (about 8 hours) and very fun.

- Christmas 2025:

• Tomb Raider The Lost Artifact Reimagined - Act 2 Demo (by Shabaobab)
  https://amh-design.ch/LLB/2025/day3

• A (Not So) Peaceful Christmas (by DenisTheRaider & Shaduofus)
  https://amh-design.ch/LLB/2025/day11

• Secrets of Cleopatras Tomb
  https://amh-design.ch/LLB/2025/day25

• When You Wish Upon a Star (by Shabaobab)
  https://amh-design.ch/LLB/2025/day31
  \xa0

• Other author levels:
  Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead)
  Level based on TR2X, highly recommended!
  BTB2006:
  I played almost all the levels (19 levels), Asian themed. I only have 4 or 5 left to complete this classic.

• My usual ones: My sessions of Minecraft and World of Warships didn't fail.
  Frankly, every year I dedicate less time to Minecraft.

Greetings!!

Happy Year to Everyone!

This post of the Games of the Year is indeed a tradition with class

Thanks as always to the author and Master of Ceremonies Mr. @_Neptunno_ of this unmissable event.

You always invite me but it's been years since I've been nominated, and without a graphic like the ones you do, one gets old and can't keep up

So another one reviewing the many games on STEAM, GOG and Epic that I already had plus another mountain that they keep giving away but that one doesn't even take time to try out.

I still took another look at Q2 to see those expansions they made (that's what nostalgia and the convenience of GOG do), and a few hours at FallOut4 which has the Anniversary Edition (ten years already).

See you later! Gamers!

Well, here we go. First of all, happy new year to everyone, especially to @_Neptunno_, for continuing the tradition. Second, this year I haven't kept track of what I've played much and I've had to go to the Steam history (although I don't only play on Steam).

PC Games:

• God of War
• Spiderman 2
• Skyrim
• Forza Horizon 4 and 5
• The Last Of US: Part 2
• GTA V I always put some hours into this one
• Red Dead Redemption 2
• Clair Obscure: Expedition 33
• Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
• Hollow Knight: Silksong
• Assassin's Creed Shadows
• Fallout 4
• Gris
• Neva
• Half Life and Half Life 2
• Counter Strike 2 I like to play some online matches although I'm not very good
• Helldivers 2

Retro games emulated:

• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild I never get tired of replaying it and exploring the open world
• Mario Kart 8 I play with my son and he beats me...
• Uncharted 2
• The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
• GTA Liberty City Stories

And I think that's it... needless to say, all played on GNU/Linux which, lately, is not so strange and more people are joining the club.
Also, occasionally, I try some game to see how it works and I also bought a few months ago one of those R36 handhelds, like a game boy, on which I play some quick games from my childhood.
This year, I also changed my PC hardware and I've also made a small quality leap to 1440p in games (before the price increase, fortunately)...

Anyway, greetings everyone.

[JuezDred]

Happy Holidays to all.
Well. I barely have time to play a huge range, even so. Let's see:

PUBG which I have been most dedicated to since 2017 when it came out. I still like it and I think it has stayed up to date.
CONAN EXILES: well this is another little vice I have. In fact I have my own custom server, in case someone is interested.
SUPREME COMMANDER 2: Entertaining strategy game and little more.
Then although less, some car simulator and fallout 73 or 74 I think it's called that.

[Tecnho]

Happy 2026! It's been a while since I last came by**

Well this year...

Ghost of Tsuhima: I've played it twice, I love the beauty of this game, I highly recommend it to you if you like the feudal Japanese theme
Ghost of Yotei: this one is still a work in progress on ps5 but for now I'll stick with the first one
Mafia old country: an entertaining story with an ending that broke me I still prefer the 2
Helldivers 2: a good online game to have a laugh killing bugs
Starship troopers extermination: addictive based on the movie, building bases and playing online with strategy, it lacks content but it's fun
Company of Heroes 2: my favorite rts, I've been playing since 2012 with more than 1000 hours and it's still my favorite despite the 3, I'm not convinced by the gameplay
Battlefield 6: my favorite saga since I played the first one hooked me, but waiting for them to do something like before, although I play almost daily when I can
Assassin's Creed Shadows: I'm just starting, not much time these months but it doesn't look bad
Astrobot: from ps5 a platformer very beautiful and fun
Construction simulator: yes yes I like simulators of this type, I'll be half German or who knows
Satisfactory: it brings me down the path of bitterness, but it's hard drug
Jurassic World Evolution 3: a repetitive disappointment, I bought it on impulse as I was craving another management and construction game, but it's very boring for me

I've dabbled in many more but they don't convince me enough to give them my time

[Yorus]

As I already told you through other means, my list gives me secondhand embarrassment, but it is always an honor to participate in the annual classic:

World of Warcraft: I started playing on a private server based on the WoTLK expansion. The curiosity is that it allows you to play without anyone else, and I like it to remember old times and take a quiet walk through the lands of Azeroth. It also runs on any current computer, even mini PCs. I don't mention the server's name because it's of dubious legality.

Sensible soccer.de: It is a mod of the original Sensible World of Soccer, playable on PC, with network play and data updated to the 2025/26 season.

And that's it! I haven't even played OpenTTD! Since I switched to the Ultrawide monitor, I haven't been able to get everything in a resolution that is comfortable for my eyes and aesthetically acceptable.

This year I am going to take advantage of the fact that the MS-Dos Club has launched the "12 months, 12 games", where each month a different DOS game will be played and commented on, to try new/old things and be able to put them on my list for next year.

[krampak]

Well, I... I'm still on my usual path as every year

World of Warcraft Classic 20th Anniversary -> I gave in to nostalgia and recently I leveled a character from 0 to level 60 (the current cap), next month they will release the first expansion (Burning Crusade), which is where I started playing back in the day. It took me about 160 hours to level him up.

World of Warcraft Classic Mists of Pandaria -> After we stopped developing the Season of Discovery version, the guild we have among colleagues went back to the "evolutionary" Classic, where we were already during WoTLK but we left to play SoD. We've returned and that's basically where I put in the most hours.

World of Warcraft The War Within -> The retail, the last expansion of WoW and I've played just enough to level up some characters and complete the main story with the main one. I've once cleared the last raid to be able to see it but I haven't done mythic.

Basically that. Then a little bit of Fortnite with my son and on the mobile I keep playing Pokemon Go, Pokemon TCG and Brawl Stars, the latter I barely play anymore except to reach gold every season, which is basically 1 hour of play and then I only log in to open the daily rewards.

I love reading your comments, guys. It's always interesting to know about your 'gaming' life and see where you're going.

Whether you play a lot, a little or nothing at all, it's great to share this moment of gossip with friends. For me, it's a bit like with series: there's so much to choose from and with such a high level, that sometimes it's overwhelming. In the end, I think we rely on the 'classics' out of nostalgia or because it's easier than taking a risk with something new, right?

Best regards!!

Edit: Well as you can see I used Gemini to review the creation of the thread!! We already have AI everywhere jajaja

[cinusara]

Hello I started playing Fallout 4 last year in 2025 and I keep going and going this game seems endless it has many repeated missions but if you complete them I don't finish, of course it's amazing and I have a good time. goodbye.

[_Neptunno_]

@cinusara the important thing is to play what you feel like, even if the game is not a novelty of that year. Fallout is another one of those mythical sagas that I have yet to try; they are games that, for better or for worse, require a lot of time, but it usually pays off.

The problem is that sometimes we have so much pending that we don't enjoy the present... at least that's how I feel.

@Fassou by the way, I forgot to mention that last year I also picked up S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha for a few hours. After almost two years I was completely lost! I probably still have more than half of the game left. But I would like to finish it to see if I can gather energy, because it's a complicated game and "too good", you know? I mean good "old school", where you have to fend for yourself and don't have as many aids

Greetings!!

[Fassou]

@_Neptunno_ Don't worry about passing the Lost Alpha, the important thing is that your shoulder doesn't hurt anymore

Salu2! Jugones!

[_Neptunno_]

@Fassou si si, every time I play a Stalker seriously something happens to me!!

How well you know me my friend!!
