Recently re-visited Cool-Spot, which even though may not have done anything special in the platform department, I am finding strangely addictive, I've been back on the SNES mini in a big way, adding Turtle Tournment Fighters, Super Turrican 2, Tetris Attack, to name BUT a few titles...when it comes to more recent titles, its been PES 2020, Wipeout, recently completed Halo Wars 2 after an absolute AGE in trying to complete the missions in that game, never before has a Halo game taken me that long to complete..!

Quantum Break
Having recently finished Control's amazing expansion "The Foundation" I was looking for more Remedy quirkiness and realized I missed this one, the comments I kept reading about it made it sound like a piece of trash that doesn't deserve to be played, but now that I spent a decent amount of hours in it I can safely say that's not the case, the Movement feels tankier than Control's movement and the levels aren't as open but everything else was alright, the time-stopping powers are pretty fun to use, there's a surprising amount of variety and scenarios that make use of your powers, and the game is quite a looker.

Have a few games on the go on the minute. PES 2020 MyClub and WarZone is taking up a lot of my gaming time these days. Also playing Sea of Thieves and Human’s Fall Flat with friends frequently (lockdown has brought online gaming back into my life).
As far as single player games go, my backlog is huge and full of AAA games I’ve yet to experience (God of War, BOTW, Bloodborne etc all amongst my backlog). I’ve just finished AC: Origins and absolutely loved it! I have Ori and the Blind Forest that I’m almost finished with and playing through the Spyro remake on the switch occasionally.
For my next single player game, I’ve just started GTA4, which I picked up on sale recently. Honestly, I’m not feeling it. It’s aged badly and I’m considering dropping it. May jump into one of my AAA backlog games or start the Kingdom Heart’s collection next.

Sonic Generations at the moment. This game is so close to being amazing, but some of the design choices on the 3D side really hurt it in my eyes.
On the plus side, it does an excellent job of revisiting some classic levels. The sense of speed is also exhilarating at times. Visually the game still looks great.

Monster Train. Way too addictive. If you liked Slay the Spire you might like it
edit: also recovered the save game for Shadowrun Dragonfall on my old slow Nexus 2013 tablet and it worked on pc. I bought Shadowrun Hong Kong for $1 and figured I might as well finish my five year old Dragonfall save first

Forza Horizon 4. I didn't put much time into it around release, but I picked it back up in February and got sucked into doing the weekly challenges ever since. A few major issues aside, I've had a bunch of fun with it. Unlike a different console racing franchise that disappeared up its own asshole a decade ago, FH4 is serious about the right things without getting too much in the way of you having fun.

What time is it?
I just couldn't get into FH4, I think it was paralysis by analysis. The in game map is just littered with way too many objective markers.

I just started Valfaris, great indie shooter with some sweet pixel art graphics. It looks much better in motion, as theres so much animation in the backgrounds, and the lighting seems dynamic!
Id love to see a new metroid with this style.
Of course, Black Future 88 can be seen, but with Xenoblade Chronicles DE coming tomorrow, it won't see some action for a while!

Couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd set up GBA emulation on my Vita. I heard it has been much better lately. And HOLY SHIT, it has been massively improved. The colors in that gorgeous OLED screen, my GOD the colors.
I have a DS Lite and a hacked 3DS that also plays GBA games natively. Also a Wii U if that counts, since it could play it on the screen (although with a terrible dark filter). If I test some other games and they all work out fine, then playing on the Vita might be my new favorite way of playing GBA.
Anyway, played about an hour of Wario Land 4. Man that game still holds up and it feels like you're playing a SNES classic. Shame we're never getting a proper sequel.

Resident Evil: Zero
Toughest game of all time, and not in a good way. Do not play on hardest difficulty. As someone who loves a challenge, simply do not do it. Heed my words!

So that was my problem. The menus are a mess, so I didn't realize that "Horizon Life" is essentially a weekly bounty board. When it launched, I was just going around the map finishing races and doing challenges. I didn't understand that there was this whole Destiny aspect to it, including being able to win cars each week that can't be purchased with credits or won with wheelspins.
The weekly stuff is the focal point of the entire game, but for some reason, Playground Games buries it under a small tile at the very left of the pause menu. I can't overstate how bad the menus are laid out FH4. When you first load in, you're hit with three menus, all of which look vaguely similar, and none of which directly explain what your goal should be. Maybe it's me being dumb, but I had to have a friend explain to me just what the hell was going on. I had no idea about Forzathon points, the store where you spend them, or what exactly Forzathon Live public events were.
It's funny because the menus aren't even the worst problem.

Decided to replay Rise of the Tomb Raider while awiting for release of Detroit on Steam. But this time and instead of 1842x1036 DX11 on a my old 4790K / 16GB RAM / GTX 980 / rig with mix of high and medium settings, really bad FPS and frame pacing issues ~5 years ago, I'm playing the game in 3325x1871 DX12 + FXA + HBAO+ and on max settings on a 8700K / 32GB RAM / 1080Ti with stable 60 FPS. This is basically the only legit way to play this game on PC (unless you've 2080Ti to play the game in 4K), cuz in any screen resolution lover than that the game basically looks like pixelated, extremely aliased and eyes melting hell all thanks to godawful AA options.
Here's a few screens from the very beginning...
Edit: OK, not stable 60 FPS after all, the game is just too demanding for 1080Ti in 3325x1871 on max settings even if less so than Shadow is in comparison.

Just replayed Uncharted 4 only for 2nd time ever. (PLayed first in 2017).
This game is god damn incredible. Still the best graphics of all time only rivaled by Death Stranding and God of War on tech side.
The gameplay is solid although I cannot decide if I prefer to play with snap aim or not. I kinda like these games as power fantasy run and gun. But I did finished this playthrough without auto aim and on moderate difficulty.
Does collection have auto aim feature? I plan to replay these all too but will probably switch to easy (not explorer) diff if there is no auto aim. I remember liking uc3 the most of the original trilogy.
Anyway - back to uc4. The graphics, sound, story, characters. Everything is amazing. I liked the gameplay too. UC games are not movies like everyone always say. These games have ton of good gameplay and it can be as easy or difficult as You want.
Things I did not liked:
-Elena is annoying. I don't like her weird facial gestures, whining and dramatizing. She does this weird eye thing... It's all done incredible but I just don't like her direction too much.
-Nadine is annoyingly villain for no reason... nonredeemable character with no flaws. She has barely any reason to do what she does. Feels like she had other original purpose.
-Rafe is annoying but at least punchable and You care about hating him. Still, his motivation is kinda crappy but it is there.
Other than that and some slow pacing in 3rd act, I find the game fantastic.
Would love some Sully prequel or his and Sam adventures

I'm boosting for the Platinum in Lego Jurassic Park and playing Streets of Rage 4 on PC. Will probably keep doing this until Days Gone (bought it for a sweet deal on Amazon) arrives next week, then I'll focus on that.

Uncharted 2, Chapter 7 right now. Wow, the game is REALLY good. I remember when it was revealed and played at E3 but I never had a PS3 so I'm playing right now on my PS4. I'm impressed so far, the game deserves all the praise. I hope it helps me enjoy U4 more than the last time a played a bit of it.

TW Warhammer 2, just lost my first Vortex campaign. Vortex sucks and game over in Total War (assuming you're not wiped out on the campaign map) is bullshit.
I conquered half of South America and now I can't continue because the AI was playing another game and the panic button that should stop it is broken. What a waste.

Started the Assassin's Creed serie last month. I really liked the first one so I am now on Assassin's Creed II.
To be honest the first hour of it was a bit a disappointment. I really like the overall aesthetic of the first and the really clean/polish look of the second one surprised me (in a bad way). The UI is very "video game" with saturated color (this red square for enemy HP bar...).
I really like the direct follow up of the modern day from the first one. Then the young Ezio... Was quite despicable for me.
BUT this was the first hour... when he puts the robe and his family got executed everything changed for me.
The story is quite good so far, the side activities also. Especially the glyphs that provide insight on subject 16 and the pieces of Eden. And the Codex pages. I really liked reading the first one from Altaïr. I found several others but can't find Leonardo to decipher them... but it will probably come soon. I am now on sequence 4.
Definitely a big improvement from the first one (again except from the general aesthetic but that just me probably) and got me motivated to play more of this serie.
Also playing some Warcraft 3 (1v1, orc) but start to lose interest (typical from MP games for me, I play for few weeks then stop and come back later)

Red Faction - Remarstered
It took some time but I'm starting to have lots of fun with this. The physics are impressive and going around smashing buildings and blowing shit up is reminiscent if Just Cause. It's a bit repetitive though.
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
Excellent platformer. Very inventive with some very solid level design. And the music is god tier.
Resident Evil 6
I had fond memories if this when I played it on PS3 but I must've been drunk or high or something. This is just pure trash. A Frankenstein abomination who tries to be everything but ends up being nothing but garbage. A disgrace to the franchise. Bless Capcom for realizing their mistake and rebooting it with VII.

I tried to get back to dark souls III and I don't know what to do! Where do I go? Where are the objective markers?
But for real... Can I see somewhere where y have to go? I played it for 10 hours and dropped it like a year ago!
What? The game is linear as a Souls game can be, Dark Souls 1 would give you nightmares.
The game is amazing, 2014 GOTY by a landslide and still a top 10 game of the generation, much better than the likes of God of War and BOTW. Its also better than Origins imo, which was far too claustrophobic, i really enjoy the vast and beatiful areas of Inquisition,

Shadow of the Colossus (ps4 remake), Zelda breath of the wild on Wii u and okami on ps2. But most of the time I get pulled away for some warzone with friends on PS4 that can get pretty crazy- fun.

Just finished Alien: Isolation the other day. This was one of those games that sat in my backlog for years. And I was super surprised by how good it was!
Love survival horror games that don't make it easy, and that fucking Alien was a pain in the ass. But it was so worth it.
