I just finished running Sleeping Dogs, and I'm trying to find something new (to me, not necessarily "new release"). If I don't find anything that catches my eye, I'll probably try Middle Earth: Shadow of War again.

Been playing The Ascent, a 3/4 looter shooter. Not a particularly deep story, and you are kind of a nameless nobody (so not much of a character arc), but they nail the atmosphere. Each zone has that cyberpunk dystopian feel with lots of NPCs loitering around, so the world feels alive.
The combat is kinda okay. The enemies aren't particularly unique: the guys with guns try to maintain a distance, and the melee guys zerg rush you. Additionally, there's a high-low aiming system that doesn't feel good to work with, but is a necessary part of combat. You upgrade your guns via a finite currency, and as far as I can tell, each gun type acts as your "class."
Overall, I'm having fun, and I will be playing with friends later on, but it's not going to be for everyone. Its Mixed and Mostly Positive reviews on Steam are justified.
Teamed up with a couple friends this week and finally finished out Diablo 4: Season 4 by taking on Tormented Duriel. I love Diablo, but it is such a relief to be able to focus on something else for a little bit.
Like Diablo 3: Season 32, lol. I am now worried about the progress I'm making. Yes, it's only been a week, but I forgot how... not good I am in working with the Necromancer's Trag'Oul set. I feel clunky and underpowered, but I don't have the full set yet, so maybe once I finished chapter 4 I'll be able to utilize it better.
Had no idea you could watch whole movies in The Darkness. I learned that when I got way too nostalgic and then invested watching To Kill A Mockingbird. Right now I'm pretty close to the end of the game, but I've been taking my sweet time combing over areas for collectibles. Even then, I'm still missing some, and they can be pretty well hidden. I'm having a lot of fun, but I am ready to pick up the sequel, if for nothing else but less stiff controls.
Too much man. I was initially just playing Atari 50, but I was itching for something with more gameplay so I started Neon White and I am loving it. That game must have been QA’d to hell because every level just flows so smoothly. Then I also started a new session of Monster Hunter World with couple of my friends. Later I was just not around my PC, so I decided to check out what I have on the switch, and now I’m in chapter 4 of Xenoblade Chronicles. Bonus game: Ordia on phone.
Metro 2033 redux and COD WaW custom zombies. Haven't been in a big gaming mood recently and want something easy and fun. I enjoy the short chapters and fun gameplay and world building of the Metro games, this is my second playthrough. COD custom zombies is just fun and relaxing when playing easy maps and you can stop at any time
