What have you all been playing! Still on my usual binding of Isaac and helldivers grind, but I'm also getting back into elden ring to get ready for the dlc coming later this year! 🤩

I got predictably burned out on RDR2 after trying to complete a bunch of challenges before proceeding (I wanted to look cool in all the cutscenes!), so that is on the back burner for now. I also had some personal events that made me less able to focus on story games. Or maybe less in the mood. Take your pick.

Found a good deal on F1 Manager 2023 instead, and that has been a perfect distraction. Not least since I'm not really getting my F1 fix from watching the races so far, this year.

I didn't play the predecessor so I don't know how much it improves year-on-year, but I'd say it's solid if you are an F1 fan. The presentation is awesome, especially thanks to the official licensing, with stuff like radio clips of the actual drivers and engineers adding a lot of immersion during races.

As a management game it seems fine. As someone who's put a lot of hours into Football Manager, this isn't on that level in terms of depth. But it seems perfectly adequate. I'm having fun juggling the budget and striking a balance between long term investments and short term development. There are a lot of little considerations to fiddle with. The setup-sliders minigame is fun.

I'm playing as Aston Martin on Hard Race AI/Hard Development AI and it hasn't felt too easy (yet). Red Bull is leading and I'm not catching them, Ferrari is thereabouts and I'm just behind, with Alonso usually beating Ferrari (but not always), and I even managed to sneak a win when Verstappen crashed out in Baku.

If you're an F1 fan and can find it on sale I think you'll enjoy it.
