Peak is a peak example of a trending game.
We're also playing it. And we know other couples playing it too.
It came out of no where, is a bunch of fun, and will be forgotten about in a couple weeks.

Putting the finishing touches in Alan Wake (the really old one). I‘m not much of a horror guy (and it‘s not much of a horror game), so mainly the story kept me going lol. Probably just gonna watch a playthrough of 2 to know how it continues.
Otherwise, I‘ve been playing some Peak with my gf and I really like it. The generated levels keep it fresh, the swap out only every 24 hrs gives ample opportunity to get familiar with the mountain. I wish it had DLSS and/or FSR though, the performance is abysmal for what it‘s rendering, the integrated „scaler“ looks pretty poor. My PC‘s screaming when I play this for no apparent reason lol

Alan Wake 2 is one of my favourite games of all time, and if you like the story it’s definitely worth considering playing. Yes, it is a bit more of a horror game, but it’s phenomenal. I recommend watching a recap of Control and its AWE DLC, as they directly tie into the plot of Alan Wake 2.
If you really truly can’t stomach horror games, both Welonz and Mapocolops have great AW2 playthroughs.

Second this. The Ashtray Maze is still one of the coolest levels in a game for me.
