I saw a video on spawnwave that talked today about what games people are enjoying in 2026 right now. And the different reactions of different social media/sites.

I personally am loving Wild Blue Skie s. Its just starfox. Thats what I want to play!

BALL x PIT is a whole lot of fun. I didn’t think it would be but it keeps getting better and better.

I also liked FTL back in the day so I picked up Void War . Its like warhammer + FTL and its fantastic.

EDIT: You all are great! Keep them coming! So many games (video games and otherwise) in this list!

    I recently got the itch to play Europa Universalis IV again (version 1.30.6 because I don’t own the later expansions), so I’m on my second try to build the glorious Dutch trading empire.

      Have you played EU V yet? It’s been a few months since I’ve picked it up, but I was hooked for a little while.

      They somehow made the game simultaneously more complicated and more accessible. Also more fun imo.

      I was also enjoying Victoria 3 quite a bit. I have to be in the right mood though, and just haven’t been feeling Paradox Grand Strategy games recently.

        No, I’ve got a lot of games on my backlog, so I wasn’t really planning on playing IV either, but then it just happened :P

        Also, I guess it’s a good idea to wait for them to be a few expansions deep, so the game is more finished.
