CCGs are my favourite multiplayer type. Got myself currently mainly piloting a tough-to-handle but decent Bloodcraft deck built around an iconic robo-waifu 'Mono, Immortal Garnet', where the object is to use the Bloodcraft concepts of Vengeance and Wrath (normally sitting at low health but there are ways around that) plus buffing your cards to buff Mono and charge my opponent down, which I find fascinating as there's a lot of ways to do the order of playing cards wrong, so I have a challenge in getting it right and also surviving all the broken overpowered stuff other players throw at me first. seen lots of people (primarily vtubers who I otherwise enjoy) get obsessed with Apex, it's not really my thing I don't think though.

If we expand it to older games, then though I started it last year, Slay The Spire has had me hooked like no other game. Also shout out to Dark Souls 3, Outer Wilds, SUPERHOT, Paradise Killer, Bug Fables, There Is No Game, Ace Attorney 5, The Pedestrian & Papers Please for also being bangers. Also also Fall Guys circa 2021 is a lot better than Fall Guys circa 2020 and not just because I have all the achievements now and don't have to harbour resentment anymore.

And I'm currently having a blast going through 428: Shibuya Scramble after putting it off for ages. (hell yes at Slay The Spire, though it's been a while since I launched that up myself)
