My family of 5 is on a 30-day quarantine. I have already been working remotely for years now, so it's not quite the adjustment it is for everyone else in the house, and for perhaps many of you. I made a post with links to tips and tricks on working remotely in another thread.

Currently I am playing WoW Classic, because I really just don't know what else to play that I also haven't already beaten. This is kinda just next in the queue as it were.

What about you?

Any family-oriented games? Multiplayer games?

My two boys are digging Zelda Hyrule Warriors, and my Partner and our Daughter are playing Final Fantasy XIV. (Really great MMO)

I'm trying to get my family onto the ESO bandwagon while finally tackling a replay of Divinity Original Sin 2.

Nioh 2 and FFXIV for the most part now that i've beat Ori 2. Might dip into more Pathfinder Kingmaker.

This all changes once Animal Crossing arrives.

I've got a huge physical & digital library of half-finished or unstarted games. The entire backlog is on the menu.

Disco Elysium + Diablo 3 Season 20.

Disco Elysium in particular seems especially suited to our current predicament lol.

playing through a lot right now. Work has been shut down for 3 weeks, possibly more. Main game is Final Fantasy VIII remastered but also working on:

  • Dark Souls 2: SOTFS
  • Crisis Core
  • Bloodborne
  • Parasite Eve
might sprinkle in some Skate 2/3 to break up the heavy RPG grind.

ESO daily with The Division 2 and Doom 2 sprinkled in. Next up Doom 3 and then DOOM 2016 leading into Eternal. Just bought a Switch too so I'm ready to be secluded from the world.

Finished Murder by Numbers this morning. Now working on Ori 2 which will be overtaken on the priority scale by Animal Crossing & Doom next week.

COD Warzone
Ghost Recon Breakpoint

I did just pick up Division 2 for 2.99 but it felt really weird playing it at the moment

Nice thread. I just finished Children of Morta. Highly recommend it!

Will be playing a bit of Sea of Thieves with friends from work tomorrow, and also start with Afterparty. In the near future, I want to finish some relatively short games:
Afterparty
The Turing Test
The Red Strings Club
Ori and the Will of the Wisps

I am aiming to get a few of these cleared up before next weekend. DOOM Eternal is coming out, but I think I'll let that one sit for a few weeks before jumping in. Very close to fully clearing the backlog, don't want to commit to a new game yet. :)

FFXIV, but I need a break after my 20 hour marathon through the 2.X patches. Other than that, some CoD Warzone, and I just picked up Ni No Kuni 1/2

I was playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey, but I've been feeling sick this past week and haven't really done much.

I'm thinking I might replay Final Fantasy XIII and then finally finish 13-2 and 13-3 on PC. But that's the sort of thing I think about a lot and then never actually do, so who knows.

AI: The Somnium Files.

It started out super strong but I'm not a huge fan of the direction it's going in. Still a very quirky, enjoyable experience from Uchikoshi so far.

Also spending some time with friends playing Rainbow Six: Siege, Overwatch, and the new Warzone BR.

Beat the main story in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX and did some of its postgame today. I know it's not the most popular game around, but I really enjoy it!

Currently waiting for God of War to install on my PS4. Got it for $10 last Black Friday and now I'm finally getting around to it.

Specifically for quarantining? VRChat. Relieves a lot of stress, continues my real life social connections, and I get to do plenty of real world activities still, just virtually.

Baldur's Gate 1

Monser Hunter World Iceborne, and a bit of Smash Ultimate until Animal Crossing.
I'm mostly watching films to be fair, I'm so hyper for Animal Crossing that I don't really have any interest in playing something else.

I've been really sick for a few days now, so not really playing anything. I only check this forum and the news sites a few times per day, and sleep the rest of the time. Once I feel better I got a backlog the size of the bible to keep me entertained for years of isolation.

I'm a healthcare provider so if anything I'll be working extra in the upcoming weeks.

kids have already had school cancelled for the next few weeks and have lesson plans sent home with them that have to make sure they get done

beyond that trying to finish the following:
Mass Effect 2
Darksiders Genesis
Ys Memories of Celceta
Assassins Creed III
Mario + Rabbids
Maybe some Baldurs Gate or ESO also

Witcher 3. Picked it up for $15 on the PSN last month.

Avoiding the news and social media completely this weekend. It's great; I'd recommend giving it a try.

I've been playing a lot of Minecraft so far this weekend because it has a nice calming vibe that I appreciate right now. Animal Crossing should scratch a similar itch when that comes out.

Replaying Mass Effect 2 with mods, also have Ori Will of the Wisps loaded up and ready for when I finish ME2. After those I'll do Mass Effect 3 then begin to clear out some backlog stuff until Cyberpunk.

Cyberpunk is the only game I plan on getting until the new consoles, I al oat waited on Ori but I wanted to support the team since they're small and I loved Blind Forest its gonna really tough to not play the last of us 2 but I can hold out at least till next gen.

ESO really came into its own and found an audience huh ?

Yep, it plays great on console with a controller and it's such a meaty game especially with ESO+ (all the DLC's etc). I bought it on a whim a few months back when it was on sale and I've been playing it daily since. It's a really good podcast/netflix game too since it has a ton of collectible items to get in each zone and it keeps track of everything for you.

I've just finished Virtue's Last Reward and now starting Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Was hoping to cut down my backlog a lot this year and the 'social distancing' gives me the perfect excuse to dedicate even more time to doing so

I finished both Outer Worlds and Untitled Goose Game this week which leaves only lastyears Star Wars game of 2019's game I wanted to play and I'm waiting for that to drop in price (AUD $79 is too much)

I have Black Mesa so I might try that now that it's finished. It's been 20 years since I last touched the actual SP part of HL1.

Norway but living in France
Playing Darkwood which seems strangely fitting. Barricading myself at night freaking out by any sounds. At day I go scouting for resources trying to keep my distance from anything living or otherwise.

Things haven't changed too much for me since I work from home but I figure I'll be doing some social distancing soon enough, as my DnD group bandies around moving to Skype for a bit

Started playing through Sonic 2 again, been itching for some Mania but it's been a long time since I played the classics. Just played Green Hill Zone from 1 because the rest of the game don't hold up too great.

Really want to play an open world game, since my RPG quota is about to be filled out by Persona and FFVII Remake, but very undecided. Tempted to try RDR2 again but the last time I tried to play that I wound up getting exhausted by the very idea of video games. And I've completely forgotten what I was doing in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, so I'll probably replay that from the start in a few months. Witcher 3 is tempting but I think I might listen to the audio books before playing through it again (rlly want to play the DLC though)

Im trying to get into Path of Exile and its confusing as fuck. Its fun but god damn is the leveling up skill tree is massive and daunting. Plus all the different kinds of currency.

Perfect combination for this so far!

As someone who has been WFH for, idk, 6-7 years now you might say I've been practicing for this for a while
