I'm playing A legionnarie's life, that text-based game about being a Roman soldier in the 2nd Punic war. Pretty fun actually despite the minimalistic presentation, although it probably has limited staying power.
My first four characters died quite early, but now with the fifth I've gotten beyond Hannibal's defeat and am now fighting in Greece, which must be close to the end of the game. Even got a civic crown for single-handedly defeating five enemies and saving a fellow soldier from them. I'm now a centurio prior. I didn't do most of the special fights, because I wanted to get as far as possible with this character (and this game's got permadeath after all), but a fairly decent run so far.
Managed to finish the game with my first legionary, a mostly virtuous type. I became centurio, but only won one civic crown, one gold armilla, several silver and bronze armillas, and eight cups. Tried to get a mural crown twice, but was too slow and failed :-( Broke through the phalanx in the final battle, but was too slow in killing the enemies (only took down two of four in the allotted time), so the gap couldn't be exploited by my comrades,
My character bought a farm in Apulia and spent the rest of his life with his family there, dying in old age in 146 BC (destruction of Carthage).
Fun game, will play it again and try some of those duels. Even if it's at core only a choose your own adventure and rather simple, it's really a nice little game.

Baldurs Gate, Siege of the DragonSpear. Loving it so far.
I had been playing Fable: The Lost Chapters and Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition but working from home so much has much wrists kind of sore, so I put aside the keyboard/mouse games for a bit and now I'm playing Environmental Station Alpha.
Underrail - It took awhile for the game to click with me, but now I'm level 15 and hopelessly addicted. Once I've gained a few more levels and crafted some better equipment, I will start the Expedition content.

Fallout 1

I know... this classic has been sitting at the top of my backlog since forever. I even have the big box, since the late 90s.
Just started Celeste, and am in the middle of Chapter 1. Have already died a lot, but much of it was just getting used to the controls, and some of it was seeing if certain pits were bottomless (+ one death in the prologue to see what would happen).

Reminds me that I still haven't gotten around to playing Undertale (different game, but similar name), and am wondering whether I'll reach level 15 in that game. (There are multiple routes through Undertale that lead to different endings, and not all of them will have you reaching that level. Note that experience is only gained by killing enemies, and the game's GOG page explicitly states "Killing is unnecessary".)

Agent-94: Deus Ex 1
it is good
Just finished Persona 5 Royal. About 143 hours of fun (with the exception of 1 cheap boss fight).
Will start NG+ in a few weeks. :D

Now I can get back to Yakuza 3 and Doom Eternal!
Only a few hours into Yakuza, which means it will probably take me a couple dozen hours to beat. :)
As for Doom, there are only three more levels.
Gears Tactics - If you're like me and always dreamed of a challenging turn based strategy game with AAA production values, then I highly recommend picking this up on gamepass for $5.

Just started playing it as well. Gears of War as a turn based tactical game is a perfect match. It also has one the best built in PC benchmarking apps and config menus ever.
Don't Starve RoG
Mad Max - superb game, can't stop playing this, too good! But why can't I store 2 gas cans and melee weapon in my car???

Borderlands 2 - I'm bored to death for 6 months now, 2-3 missions left for main campaign and I have all the DLCs to have *fun* with...

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - I'll never finish this The Breach online module, it's a pain.

Maximum Doom for Doom II - only ~1600 .WADs left (2-3 years?), I'm done with Doom 1 maps though; some maps are awesome, playing on GZDoom with vanilla filters (no blood and bullet holes on the walls, no additional effects, standard lighting, but I prefer high quality noise for invisible demons over vanilla due to HD resolution).

And I can't wait to finally play XCOM: Chimera Squad, I heard the voicing and character development is awful, but the game is nice, since I like XCOM I should be okay.

Looking forward to check on Gears Tactics.
