Started Pokémon Pokopia!

I have only played a little but it's a fun cozy game. I seem to be going slow, as my kid has played about the same amount of time as me, but has unlocked twice the Pokémon. Have been itching for a cozy game to play for a while. Tried Cozy Grove a little while back but while it was fun in the start I didn't enjoy it for long. Hopefully this will fare better.

Also started Dying Light. I am not really a horror fan, but I added this to my wishlist a long time, probably when it was released, so just wanted to try it, even if I end up not liking it. So, got it on sale.

Just cleared the Prologue and the game isn't bad so far, but then again, I haven't played a night mission yet, and all the zombies have been very basic variety.

Played a bit of Tom Clancy's The Division, slowly clearing the side missions and leveling up. Have cleared the level 20 main mission, and I think level cap is 30, so still a bit left.

Haven't played much Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains or Hard West this week.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

The easiest option if you want to play MTG without the need to keep updating is to buy some Commander Preconstructed decks (ideally from the same set) and keep them unmodified.

These decks meant to be played against each other and usually well balanced. Just find a collection with aesthetics that appeal to you, get 3-4 and have fun. There's the option of "in-universe" sets with classic MTG aethetics like Tarkir, Lorwyn or Bloomburrow, or "crossover" sets with popular IPs - they just released TMNT, and there'll be Marvel and Startrek later this year.

The biggest thing to keep in mind is that Commander by far the most popular way to play MTG - but also the most complex one.

It's free-for-all multiplayer mode with politics, singleton 100-card decks and crazy interactions. If you have an MTG-playing friend they should be able to help you get started, but otherwise I'd suggest playing the free Magic Arena game which has some good tutorials, or look for Youtube videos - there's a ton of content to help people get started.

Thanks for the info. Will look into these.
