Still playing FFXIV for the most part, with a little bit of Total War or Warframe from time to time.
The most recent new game I've played is Vermintide 2 (beta). Very enjoyable hack and slash horde mode shenanigans set in the world of Warhammer Fantasy. Very much geared towards multiplayer, unfortunately, but perfectly doable on single player (at which time your allies are replaced by bots, with decent enough AI).
Felt a little bit grindy at first, but with randomised enemy spawns you never feel as if you're repeating yourself or treading old ground. This can also be a bad thing though if several very tough enemies spawn consecutively. The combat is the focus and strength of the game, with powerful melee and ranged attacks, though I thought the Flame Wizard's magic felt a little bit weaker than one would like.
The characters themselves are also fairly decent. A good mix of races/genders/roles though they repeat voice lines in combat so often that you'll likely get sick of hearing them after a few hours.
Haven't actually got around to downloading the full game yet, but I will...eventually...probably...
