    Putting aside how "right now" is being used loosely to refer to sort of "active" games generally being played over a time period, tun based games is how.

    Guild Wars 2 is my current MMO poison; working through the Heart of Thorns storyline and will probably buy Path of Fire in a few weeks. As for other games:

    1) Hit maximum mastery points in Starcraft 2 co-op, so I've put that aside for now.
    2) Stuck on the final boss in Cuphead, will get through that at some point.
    3) Working on a Divinity OS2 playthrough
    4) Accumulating more simfiles for my Stepmania collection
    5) Doing another Dead Space 2 playthrough on the weekends as a drinking game.

    Currently I'm playing Legends of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, it had been a while since I'd last played a fun turn based JRPG. Plenty to customize too, which is always a plus for me. I'm at the last parts of the game though, so after that I think I'll try and finish the last Isle of Cuphead.

    Picked up Into the Breach and the game is a fun little tactics game.

    Bit of Stellaris when 2.0 dropped, picked up Slay the Spire which was surprisingly fun for something that's not usually my jam, continuing to plan out my megafactory in Factorio and my PoE addiction will refresh tomorrow when 3.2 gets released and consume me for the next week or so.

    Not as depressing as it's organic, I guess. I mean, sure, the protagonist looks depressed, but there's a lot of positivity in her life too.

    By the way, one of the better writings I've seen in the last years' games.

    Pretty much exclusively on Disgaea 5 now. Some others on the back burner. I don't remember the Disgaea games being quite so long. I like this one a lot.

    Also... I feel my power levels are all janky. Must be lacking in gear. Getting a 900 Statistician is taking forever. I'm mid-game grinding though, not always the smartest thing to do.

    Dunno where I made the odd turn, but I find myself now playing Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars and having one heck of an amusing train wreck imagining the Humans as if they were led by President Cave Johnson. You do get "portals" by mid-game (the star gates), and what better way to think with portals than to warp in a battle fleet to lay down some "semi-guided photon science" upon the Meklar? I even have three fleet captains that give science bonuses!

    This could make a funny LP.

    I've been meaning to pick this up at some point, as the story looked interesting. Has it still been holding up?

    Picked up Diablo 3 to play with some friends, and still puttsing around in FIFA 18 and it's Ultimate Team mode.

    But I can not stop thinking about Into the Breach. The game has a mainlined itself into my brain. Haven't even gotten past island 2, but I really enjoy this game so far.

    Yeah, Into the Breach has a way of hooking you. I absolutely adore that game. If you're looking for a master class in pure, lean, no-padding-here gameplay, Into the Breach is your game.

    Feeling rather like non-violent games of late. Tragically the lack of decent city builders* in recent years means I'm replaying Pharaoh again. Holds up extremely well, although given how deeply the Impressions games are embedded in my childhood nostalgia, I'm very far from an objective judge of that.

    It's good. I've finished it. It takes kind of a weird turn at the end, but not a bad one.

    Giive it a week and Surviving Mars should be out. Looks to be an interesting twist on city builders.

    It's not exactly a city builder (but modern) but I've heard good things about Rise of Industry. Then again, it's not exactly my preferred genre.

    Also, I made the grave mistake of reinstalling Civ V... Help... I feel like I will never get anything done again.

    Same here. I just keep returning to it. Also, if you can't get past island 2, here's a couple of small tips:

    -Think all the options. Sometimes (especially when a bit tired) the brain can just go "ah, this move is enough for this round", but there's often a better one.
    -The deployment is almost as important as a normal round. Look up the ranges of the opponents and what moves they can pull.
    -Don't be a hero on the strategic map. Pick "normal" missions unless you feel exceptionally powerful/weak.
    -The second squad is very good.
    -Block as many newcoming aliens as possible. If you can stand on a hole and shoot another alien in the process, that's often a winning round.

    True that. It's a very rare mix of bare-bones minimalism and immense tactical depth. Even though there might be overall "better" games in the last few years, I think Into the Breach should be taught in game design lessons.

    I'm not much for non-violence these days myself, but have you looked at Thea?

    Pharaoh is so good. I adore that game so much. Have you tried Zeus and/or Poseidon?

    I enjoyed Thea, but it's completely different. Have you tried Anno 1404? Not nearly as good as Pharaoh, but still pretty fun. My fiance and I had a good time with it.

    You could give Factorio a try. You're not building a city, but you're very definitely building.

    Yup. Caeser III was the first game I ever played that came in an actual box; I'm pretty sure I've still got the manual somewhere. And man did the Impressions games have manuals; those things were freaking books. Loved Ceaser III, and Pharaoh, and Zeus. Never really played Emperor though.

    I've tried a couple of the Anno games, and for some reason they've never really clicked for me. Not sure why.

    Have you checked out Subnautica? Base building underwater exploration. There's also a story mode that ditches the survival elements if you want those gone. It's not entirely non-violent, but mostly it's just chasing away things that have decided they want to eat you.

    I've rediscovered just how much fun X-Com is. Though fun might not be the right word.

    for all that it do have 'building' elements ... calling it a builder is kinda just about the least proper thing, without being flat out wrong

    Vermintide 2 just released. The original was the most fun first person stabber I've ever played, so I've had this one on preorder since last year.

    I played the very first. Back in the 90s these games were huge in Germany. The reason I never really got into them was that I always failed to prepare for enemy attacks in time. I was happy building a settlement until some invaders show up and wreck everything.

    Played Settlers 2 several times, and I always ended up quitting in the first level in which the enemies attack without being invaded by you first.

    I thought about suggesting this too. With biters turned off it's non-violent and it's very much a builder game. Plus it's not only very fun, it also has that, "hey, why's it getting light outside?" ability to make 8 hours flash by in an instant.

    I was looking at Slay The Spire and it looks fun-ish, but the art style and complete (almost) lack of animation has turned me off a bit.
