World of Warships. US standard battleships for the most part.

Just started ME2 (it was free on Origin a while back) and constantly running several playthroughs of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2. I think I have about 6-7 finished Wardens and several dozen in progress.

Getting used to ME controls is really weird, I haven't played with a shooter since the old-timey Wolfenstein back in the nineties. But I gotta get through it if I'm to reach the hot lizard man.

Currently playing (depending on mood and time):
1. Predynastic Egypt, a worker management game set in (you guessed it) predynastic Egypt. I'm playing this on my tablet, there is a free Lite version supported by adverts if you want to give it a try. $6.00 for the PC (during the sale) or full mobile version.
2. Darkest Dungeon
3. Rimworld
4. Civilization VI

I picked up a tactics JRPG called God Wars, set in a far past mythical Japan. It's not bad, and I like that in addition to the standard classes you can use each of the characters has a unique class. It just seems that most of the time when a game has class change options the individual characters just wind up being very similar, mechanically speaking. It's also nice that the first character you get, Kintaro, isn't a swordsman. Most JRPGs seem to make the heroes swordsmen, so subversions of that are always welcome. In this case Kintaro specializes in the axe as before going off to rescue a princess his day job was "woodsman" so that's what he's got experience with, and consequentialy a passive skill for his unique class improves his accuracy while using one.

But on the downside, every character only has a single "large" portriat for when they're talking during non-animated cutscenes. And Kintaro's, well, it's probably supposed to look like he's doing a "tough guy nose flick" thing I've seen a couple of times in other Japanese media, but unfortunately since that's his one pose he's doing it constantly, even through the lipflaps and, well, it just looks like he's contstantly picking his nose. They did not think that one through.

I'm currently playing LucasArts' The Dig and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Love the former, but the latter is unfortunately dumbed down to the point that I'm not sure if it really qualifies as a tactical shooter.

I'm playing Broken Age. Its had some mixed reviews but I thought the first part was very fun.

As a big fan of indie adventures and Wadjet Eye as an indie adventure developer/publisher, I'm surprised and excited to see that Chuck is reviewing Technobabylon next month. Cool to see Chuck review a relatively niche game that certainly has a lot of big ideas and is worthy of discussion (even if Primordia and Gemini Rue are the superior games published by that company imo).
