Such an awesome game! Can't wait for a sequel. It's so upsetting that they never at least attempted to port the game to PS5 or simply give it a 60fps patch.

You can look it up on YouTube if you want. The world event is called the Prodigy. It was really funny.

I completed Horizon Burning Shores. Excellent expansion IMO and really really beautiful, but a bit short perhaps, as I already completed the main missions and all side quests (I still have plenty to do in the regular game though). I now have 62 hours in Forbidden West.
I also completed Uncharted Lost Legacy. I never got it for PS4, so I only started playing it when it became part of PS Plus on PS5. Really enjoyed it, but Nathan Drake (U4) is still the top dawg for me.

Taking a little break from TOTK (about 180 hours in) with some shorter games. Did Humanity last week (brilliant game), and this week I've done Alan Wake Remastered (I'm on vacation). Never played this back when as I didn't have a 360. I did try it out on PC a few years later, but never got very far. Now I've finished the main story, got the extra episodes left to do. Great game, loved the story and atmosphere (also loved Control for the same reasons). The gameplay though, eh. Walking through dark forests and pointing a flashlight at shadow people did get pretty old by the end of it, not much variation there. Hoping the sequel has some new ideas, because I'm definitely getting that now (pissed about no physical release though).

Just finished Jedi Starfighter! Wow. The xbox is awesome for backwards compatible games.

There are a ridiculous amount of buffs for weapon skills and they do not use much FP. Incantations are unevenly buffed, with holy and lightning incantations getting the short end of the stick. If the beast incantations did not have such low base damage, they would actually be good with the buffs available. I am hoping that the DLC amends these issues.
P.S. I read that it is possible to boost the dragon cult incantation damage by having another Gravel Stone Seal in the other hand.

Booted up Dead Space remake. One of my favorite horror games of all time. The atmosphere and mood is off the chart here. And playing with headphones, holy shit what an audiovisual experience. Excellent sound design. And all of this at 60 fps. Huge upgrade from the original in terms of design. This is going to be a fun ride.

SGS Nato Nightmare. Its a boardgame/wargame world war 3 operational simulation in Europe. It's not for kid.

Recently finished Octopath Traveler 2. Liked it a lot, but I wish they changed more from the first one. They kept so much the same. Classes are the same, even some of the stories are the same. I don't think this can sustain for a 3rd entry in the series. Two you can get away with it, but three it'll get ultra repetitive. I don't know if they plan to make another but if they do, need to revamp some things to keep the series fresh.
Going to start another RPG next, debating between a few or possibly another Metroidvania.

I can't stop playing Atlier games. I platinumed Ayesha and Escha and Logy, now I'm playing Ryza on PS5.
I already beat it on Switch, but now I'm going for the platinum. It's half off on PSN now.

Finished The Entropy Centre. Really enjoyed it. Puzzles weren't too difficult in the end, either.
Recommended for those who enjoyed games like Portal, The Talos Principle, and The Turing Test.
re: the plot - Jesus, the game took a pretty dark turn in the end. The in-game lore had made it clear what was actually happening, but it was still a nasty twist.

Knight's contract
Wrapped up Wolfenstein: TNO, started Knight's contract and, woah, its actually really freaking solid? The aesthetic, art direction and combat aren't half bad. It takes a while getting used to since you have to both manage the Knight (Heinrich) and the witch (Gretchen). Its somewhat tough in places too.

So Just started playing Jedi Fallen Order on the series x. The sense of mystery and adventure is fantastic. I am not that great at the combat (yet?) but thoroughly enjoying this.

Had to take a break after dropping 60 hours in Pillars of Eternity and another 50 so far into PoE II.. loving every minute of it, but after 100 hours of CRPG I need a breather for a minute. I had bought AC Origins some months ago and tried it out, played for a few hours and while I thought it was OK it didn't really hook me even though I love the setting (main encouragement to try it, plus reading you could "play it first").
So today I thought to play the original Assassin's Creed on 360 since I happen to have it. I played it years and years ago near when it came out and just didn't get into it, not sure why. I love that kind of thing (Templars, etc) so I thought maybe randomly to try it again for a spacer between my CRPG romps.
I'm liking it alright so far, but can't believe there's no option for subtitles. That seems so crazy, but I guess the game is over 15 years old or so, but I'd still expect the option with such a narratively heavy game. Still looks pretty good. We'll see how far I get.

I can't get over how fucking good Dead Space looks. The insane attention to detail. The subtle reflections that bounces off Isaacs suit when near a light source. The weapons and their different mechanics, like you can see the blade spinning in the Ripper when you're not using it. The necromorph design, now fully visualized showing they are victims of the gruesome cosmic horror that came aboard the Ishimura. Glimpses of the vast space and the feeling of isolation it evokes. Motive nailed that shit. The remake amplifies what a great game the original was and since everything comes together like clockwork here it makes playing it so much better. The combat is awesome. Using the Ripper (my favorite weapon) is just so satisfying as it tears through the monsters like butter. Or burning everything to a crisp with the flamethrower. The excellent sound design is the cherry on top. It's haunting and scary, making you constantly on edge, despite me knowing this game inside out. Motive has made Dead Space feel fresh and exciting, just like Bluepoint did with Demon's Souls. It's that good.

Ratchet and clank Clank Rift Apart. It is really fun (provided you play in a higher than default difficulty, IMO). I'm in the middle of my 2nd playthrough in challenge mode with highest difficulty and about to platinum it.
It is a fast paced platformer action game, with a lot of spectacle, with a simple yet charming story. It's straight to the point and it doesn't ask much of you to have fun. It's a great palate cleanser if you're coming from a heavy feeling game. I very much recommend it.

I'm replaying AC Odyssey since I've never played as Kassandra.
Now I understand the love she gets from players.
It's weird to say but it's like they gave more attention to her animations/expressions compared to Alexios.
I could be wrong it's been a long time since I first played it.
That voice actress is also kicking ass
That "recent" 60 FPS patch helps as well; I'm no tech genius but this looks like it could have been released this year.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Man, I put 36 hours into unlocking all of the games achievements. So short!

Baldur's Gate III
I'm around 4 hours in this game. I'm haven't gotten to Baldur's Gate yet. I've been taking my time and trying to level up my characters to make my game easier to get through.
Far Cry 5
30 mins in and I'm enjoying it so far. The premise always interested me, I got this game off a Steam sale and the gunplay especially is fun

I'm at this castle that's been taken over by Goblins. I know I have to kill the Goblin Leader. I'm a bit lost on what to do since everytime I go into battle with him, he destroys my ass lol. So I've decided to go and find ways to level up my characters more. My characters are around level 3

Still playing Assassin's Creed on 360 from earlier tonight.. really impressed with it honestly, especially considering 15 years old or so. Must have been pretty great at the time. Based on my achievements I tried it in 2009 for about 3 days, but never made it to the first sanctioned kill even. I'm now 6/9 through and I'm fairly hooked. The gameplay loop is pretty simple but I'm enjoying it - the controls feel pretty wonky at first, but once you adjust you're moving very effectively up and across things, climbing whatever.. the combat is very basic but functions well enough despite a little jank, I like it. I love the way you creep up on people and assassinate them in a crowd, but slowly move away before they fall down and a commotion is made. Seems like a great game really. I still don't quite see the point of the modern day sequences yet, but at the least it does provide a logical reason for moving forward past what would be dull backtracking and whatnot. Playing this really brings back how much I enjoyed the 360.
There is one thing I can't figure out - there's one of the guys you speak to and he gives you two targets with 3 minute timer, but each of the targets is in some big group - how am I supposed to handle them exactly without being seen? I ended up doing other tasks, but it nags at me.

If you get the Mars DLC you can get a bunch of overpowered lazer weapons to use in the main game which pretty much makes you a God but it's funny as hell

Back in the day I played the hell out of this on my 360. The only achievements I didn't get were a couple of the Templar flag things.
As for your question it's just been too long for me, I can't help.
Find anything on Youtube?
