Just in case a free remake (amazingly true to the original!) is being made of
TIMESPLITTERS! All of them! 1, 2, and Future Perfect!
Only the campaign from the first is available right now- but every single challenge form the three game is already in.
Single Player, Co-Op, Multi Player PvP- it’s all there! 
This evening I should have:
Worked on my International Procedures recurrent (e-learning course),
Knocked out some expenses.
Flown a leg of the Christmas Trek.
Astro-imaging.
I did none of those things because I picked up Satisfactory on a whim today. So far I have managed to create a single production line that mines iron ore, then moves the ore by a conveyor belt to a smelter, which converts the ore into ingots. Strangely satisfying, quite relaxing, and highly addictive.

Like @PaulRix said- I should have done things last evening… but I am knee deep in the Robocop videogame and I just can’t stop playing it. My new rig is also much cooler/quieter even with highest details and it doesn’t crash anymore.
I can do a lot of things over the holiday break… or I can build another factory… 
Hope you enjoy! I lost a hundred hours of my life to it. Time well spent. When you want to go even deeper, there will always be factorio
Starting an ArmA 3 and DCS campaign loosely based around the classic World in Conflict.
@saghen thanks for the help in road craft, unfortunately no screen shots because
A: I forgot it had a screen shot function and B: it would have highlighted my terrible driving 
Happy to help. I think it would have taken forever to even get that small area done without 2 people.
Powerslave was a game I saw back in Gamepro in the 90s and thought it looked kind of cool. I never got to play it back then since I could never find it in rental stores for PS1 and I didn’t have a Saturn (which had the superior version.
It also dropped on PC, but the Console version is better, actually.
Enter Nightdive, they released a fantastic remaster of this game called Powerslave: Exhumed. Fantastic name since it distinguishes itself from the original titles while not calling itself a remaster, Exhumed was the EU name for it, and it brings to mind the archaeologic exhumations that inspired this game.
It’s an FPS Metroidvania from 1996 and, honestly? It’s fantastic. It’s like $5 on Steam right now. So worth it.
Started Dave the Diver (free with my Amazon Luna subscription) last weekend with my son watching from over my shoulder- OMFG can’t put it down.
He saw the entire game played out by a streamer and strongly suggested me to play it and he was right.
At the beginning you feel like you’re being loaded with a million different tasks (if it was me I would have introduced them at a slower pace) but in the end it’s much more relaxed and approachable than you might think.
Lovely and interesting to master.
Picked it up a week or two ago, and same. Great game, little rushed at the beginning, but after the initial learning curve it eases up. Definitely a fun diversion.
Me and lara played that game to absolute death.. a masterpiece.
Currently playing Shadow of Mordor on the Deck.
Despite not being as revolutionary or deep of a game, it feels very Lord of the Rings.
The core longer span gameplay mechanic where you influence the hierarchy of Mordor’s army by killing Orc Captains or getting them promoted is engaging. It feels good to figure out the weakness of that Orc who killed you twice (he’s afraid of wolves) and then use it to get revenge (drop some bait and watch him run off in fear).
On shorter timespans, the sneaking and combat abilities are well done and satisfying, even to a relatively clumsy gamer like me.
This is just the break I needed from complex story-heavy games. To clear my mind of Death Stranding before I start RDR2.
Oh yeah absolutely loved it, back in the day. IIRC I finished it around 2016- it plays so well.
I 100% it with gusto.
Agree on the whole line you put down. I wish I heard good things about the sequel.
Around 2016 is the perfect era for games on Steam Deck IMO.
Best balance between visuals and battery endurance
I’ll get Arma 4 before Reforger. Currently Arma 3 still has it’s charms, and keeping me busy modding-wise. But then I’ll learn Blender next year. Though I’ve been thinking of starting sooner to do some stuff I wanted to do, maybe then I’ll be ready for that in the future.
Considering that ArmA 4 is a year out, that’s very fair.
Reforger has become a dame good game, we have had some great mp nights
