Mainly Skyrim, been doing the Thieves' Guild side quests and stealing everything not nailed down. Also, started Shenmue, Rime and Lichtspeer.
 
Dipped my toe back into Gravity Rush 2. Hurling your waifu through space never gets old, but I wish the controls were more precise and the camera wasn't so erratic. I've lost count of the number of times the camera jerked away as I was kicking an enemy, sending me spiraling helplessly into the void.
 
Well i tried to play skyrim again on ps4 because i never played the dlc before but i became op, got tired and quit before i even got to it.

Now i'm playing elex, i strongly recommend it for anyone who likes the old-school janky euro style of rpg. It's the real rpg shit.
 
I'm on a huge weeb streak, I've been mindlessly playing 'Nioh', autistically dueling revenants constantly instead of missions.
 
I spent a little over 20 hours in BotW just to drop it, its an okay game but man there are a lot of problems and little things that just annoyed me to no end.

Now I'm on STALKER SoC with the Autumn Aurora 2 overhaul and its a blast, the game looks and plays great too with it, although the camera wobble when move is a little overboard. Also back to Risk of Rain 2 now that the new update dropped, haven't unlocked much of the new content though or the new character but the QoL stuff is nice.
 
Fallout: New Vegas, currently going for the Yes Man/Independent Vegas route.

New Vegas is the best Fallout game of all time in my opinion, combining the best elements of both the old Interplay titles from the 90's and the newer Bethesda games, and also outdoing Bethesda at their own style of gameplay.

Especially when things like Fallout 76 and the weaker points of Fallout 4 are taken into account.
 
Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai is pretty fun. You use 19th century weapons against 16th century Samurai. What's not to love?

Few problems though. Agents are a bit too powerful and this is best displayed by my white "foreign trainer" dueling every Daimyo and killing them with an 80% chance. Another downside is that you can basically deflect any siege with peasants with modern rifles. A much easier game than Shogun 2 proper but still fun. Naval battles are more about RNG than creating morale shocks as you basically win by having the enemy ships randomly explode from getting shot a couple of times.

Campaigns are simple. Turtle for the first half and then use the train system you've developed to ship elite soldiers with OP artillery all across the map.
 
Sea of Solitude. It's that game from last year's EA presentation, the only one that looked remotely enjoyable. It's a pretty minimalist platformer where you get to scoot around in a boat in a flooded Venician town and figure out what's gone wrong with this girl Kay that turned her into a red eyed demon-child.

Yeah it's an indie walking simulator, but it's got a little more going for it than most. Also the themes the game explored resonated with me rather personally. You start by apologizing to Kay's little brother Sonny who Kay absentmindedly ignored when he was having a breakdown about how awfully he was bullied at school. Then it moves to what I resonated with, which was the part where her parents are going through a rough patch (possibly divorce?) and Kay thinks it's all her fault, that by being born she changed their relationship for the worse. Then she tries to reach out to her boyfriend, who's having an existential crisis of his own. Then the game putters around for a little while longer before resolving Kay's issues... which I guess it does? Then it's over.

It ends on a sequel hook, which I'm not sure will happen? Still keeping Jo-Mei games on my radar though. It's very clear that this was a more personal project by the game's director and I want to see what they make next. Probably might also be the last time we ever see an indie game like this get promoted by EA Originals, since the viability of E3 seems up in the air. If any of you can you should check out the last EA Originals game A Way Out, by the guy who said "FUCK the Oscars" at the VGAs. That game is like a co-op blend of like, five different movies in one. It's shlocky, but enjoyable.
