Got stuck on the latest God of War, so went back to playing the latest Tomb Raider to try to get 100% in all the regions.

Playing RDR2 right now. It took me quite a while to get into it but I'm happy with how it's progressing now. I also still play a lot of Rocket League - the game is just really fun and it's easy to get in a few rounds when you don't have much time.

I have the 2nd Tomb Raider and will probably play that next. South Park too - tried getting into it once but couldn't. Will try again sometime this year.

Playing Super Smash Bros and Diablo 3 on Switch, Assassin's Creed Origins on PS4, and started Shadows of War on PC.

The switch is so damn easy to just pick up and play, this is what Xbox and PS lack, instant playability and couch multiplayer.

Playing Pillars of Eternity 2, it's a good game! I don't always like isometric games but this one is pulling me in.

It's pretty fun, especially considering it's mobile, but doesn't it just get pretty repetitive? I mean, I played some of the first Diablo, but then skipped the 2nd. I remember liking it more than this. Just me?
Diablo 2 I played a hell of a lot years ago, with friends mind you. I think due to it being an easy multiplayer game in PC during the first multiplaying days for the PC made it enjoyable. In fact, the first game I ever played online was the first Diablo games demo.

But yeah, repetitive, but easy to play on switch with GF.

I got a game called Treasure Stack on XBL yesterday. I know people that made it, so I wanted to show support. I'm not good at it, at all, but it's a cool concept. Check it out if you can and support a local business!

I bought AC Origins for cheap started that. Not super into it yet.

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen. I have now beat this game 3 damn times. I love it. It just totally speaks to my tactical sensibilities and scratches that itch so well.

Transistor. Only Supergiant game I never played. I'm rectifying that now.

FWIW, the road to October is really sweet. Makes the idea of playing a whole season a lot less of an undertaking.

I tried to play XCom: Enemy Unknown. I loved the game, but it was so glitchy. Enemies would disappear from the screen mid battle then reappear 2 turns later right next to one of your guys. It was so frustrating. Is this one more polished?

Better, but still has it's fair share of problems. I think it's just the nature of those games. Not to excuse the bugs because they can be a bit too much.

Mordhau. It's a lot of fun but it's also really difficult if you didn't play Chivalry.

Sort of. I love Mount and Blade but this is strictly a multiplayer medieval game. It can be played in first or third person but it's best played in first person. The combat system is really great though and there's a ton of depth so there's a bit of a steep learning curve to be competent at it.

After reading your post and writing my reply yesterday, I did a little research on this game. It sounds like the PC version is good, but the console versions are pretty buggy. My only PC hardware is a Surface Go, so it looks like I might have to pass on this game, which sucks, because I love the game play of the XCom games.

Okay, I'm pretty addicted to Mordhau right now, this is one of the best melee combat systems I've ever played.

Beat God of War. My only complaint: it's not long enough! And yes, I did pretty much all of the side quests before finishing it.

Amazing level design. Story was predictable, but the actual bonding between Artreus and Kratos meant the story didn't have to matter too much, as that was the main focus.

All the character moments really felt real. They were well fleshed out. And how about Mimir? He's pretty great during that game.

I did hate the Freya turn at the end. I thought that kind of went against the character. One of my complaints. But overall yeah, that game was fun as hell. How about going down the river back to your house for the blades? Damn that scene blew me back.

And the having Athena come back to him. It was tops! And yes, Mimir made the game a whole lot better. The banter from Atreus as well is really good, so when you're travelling to places, it doesn't feel too much of a grind.

Did you end up going home and sleeping after ending the game??

I like the setting a lot. It can get a bit repetitive, but still having fun with it.

Jumped back into Uncharted 4 after a year long break. Not into other games and just forgot about this.

Currently on chapter 12. I love these games so much.
