Finished the main campaign in Midnight Suns. I maintain what I've said previously about the dialogue and characterizations bearing heavy MCU fanfic vibes. None of these versions of the characters qualify among my favorite iterations. But hot damn if it isn't super well balanced, addicting, and fun to play. The 60 or so hours I spent on it went by like a breeze and I still dip in to raise my remaining friendship levels.

I tried out Sifu from PS Plus and am glad I hadn't ever bought it. Seems like a super cool idea and good execution, but it felt a little like a fighting game with its button pressing combos (plus I hate combos where you have to flick the movement stick around). I also didn't fancy the idea of having to worry about how old I was gettiing in the early levels and potentially have to play them over again just to lower my age for later level runs. Broke my threshold for punitive tedium.

Now I'm a few hours into Outward, and it's promising so far. I'm loving the promise of the new stuff I can find and make, although I'm taking it super slow because the power dynamic is (intentionally) very intimidating.
