Genshin Impact is 100% a gacha game. But unlike many gacha games this one also has a great open world to explore with a ton of lore, quests, events, and more that do not require you to spend a penny.
It is the best JPRG style (it is not a Japanese game) game on the free to play landscape IMO.
For those not familiar with the gacha game style....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gacha_gameLike all gacha games, it does have a top end that you will never see without spending thousands. But that top end is not required to enjoy all of the content that comes out. By top end, I mean getting a limited time available 5 star (gold/best) character 7 times to max it out. But you can easily get multiple limited time 5 star characters just by playing because the developers added a "pity system" that guarantees a 5 star every so many "wishes." You can earn enough rewards in game for a wish every 2.8 days from daily quests alone. But they is always an event running that has quest rewards of the in game currency also.

Really enjoying Diablo 3 season 24 with the Ethereal items. Lots of fun with those!

Bought Diablo II Resurrected

Since I can't get my modded Skyrim SE setup working via Proton on linux, I decided to finally check out Valheim. Very glad I did - enjoying the game quite a bit. I'm only 25 hours in, and despite being terrible at building and dying way too many times, I'm enjoying it quite a bit.
Also got The Forgotten City - was a huge fan of the Skyrim mod. Can't say too much about this one yet, as I've found myself playing quite a bit (too much?) of Valheim instead.
Maybe it's time to give Skyrim a rest after 10 years so that I can check out other games like these?

I've been playing through the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters. I'm about halfway through FInal Fantasy 4 (Already done 1-3). So far, I don't see any amazing differences, but the dialogs are a lot better written now.
The graphics are still pixelated, but done in such away as to look decent in 1080p.

I've been playing some Diablo 2 Resurrected in the evenings and so far it's been a lot of fun.
Is anyone else here playing it?

Surprisingly similar in a lot of ways. Each video game is taken from one or two books. Sometimes super close, sometimes modified a bit. Some of the later games are updated a bit and try to modernize it with things like cell phones and computers that obviously didn't exist in the books.

Gotta keep with the current times. That's cool. I read a LOT of Nancy Drew (and Hardy Boys) growing up.

I picked up the Final Fantasy 7 Remaake & it's first DLC. It was "on sale", but I went ahead and bit the bullet anyway.
It's definitely a retelling of the game, keeping some of the more important high points. I'm not that far into it yet. But it is definitely worth the money if you're a fan like I am.

I haven't picked it up yet because I just don't have time to play it. I'll be keeping my eye out for when all 3 episodes are released so I can get the whole story-line instead of just 1/3 at a time as well.

I generally don't have time to play games too much, except in short 30 minutes spurts here and there. The fact that you CAN PAUSE cut scenes is huge for me since I'm primarily a PC gamer and there's a sad number of games that don't give that option.
The other thing I like is that in the remake, you can save pretty much anywhere at any time, so that helps too.
