What are you playing?

My PS5 has gotten a workout this year.
Most recently, I’ve been on Avatar:Frontiers of Pandora. It’s a good one. It’s open world Avatar goodness. I can fly on an Ikran and cause a stink for the Sky People

Mine too actually. I think I just ignored it for so long that now I have a pretty big backlog of games I want to play on it lol Metaphor is going to take a while to get through, and then after that there are another half dozen JRPGs I want to play.

Last year I think it was really only Ark Raiders and Monster Hunter Wilds that I played (I played both for over 100 hours though lol). But now there are so many games that I've put on the backburner waiting for sales that I have a pretty descent backlog of games to get to that I really want to try on it.

Still making my way through Death Stranding 2, I'm not far from the end of the game, though been going back, trying to 5 star stuff, complete roads, etc, but I'll probably look at finishing it up next week.

I was gonna try Resident Evil 2 (1998), because it was brought to Steam (I believe it was on GOG before) and it's 5 bucks, but wasn't feeling it.  There's no mouse support that I could tell, I thought it was maybe gonna have that, not that I expected the slightly tweaked modern controls RE1 Remake had, but you can only keybind keyboard.  I imagine I could play it with a standard controller, but I don't know, I wasn't feeling it, playing the game is already an uphill battle for the control style to begin with and it having a really weird keyboard control setup just annoyed me lol So I'm refunding it, and maybe gonna use that 5 bucks to buy RE5 and replay that for the first time in many years.

Cyberpunk 2077 and I'm glad I waited, the game runs incredibly well!
I'm having a hard time stopping playing it.

I loved the mission in Delamain with the taxis that become sentient, even though I couldn't make the choice I wanted, it was funny.

I love driving at night in the game because it looks great with the city, plus it's a pleasure to be able to listen to music while walking or driving.
It's a shame that you can't romance the characters you want (even though it's not a big deal for me).

Another point: some choices don't fundamentally change the course of the mission/conversation.
You can't always make the choice you want because of a lack of points in a skill tree.

Put a good bit of time into Windrose, which is a decent crafting experience, middling survival/crafting/pirating experience right now, but lots of room to grow and expand, but I am feeling the burn out after like 30 hours.  It's so resource intense grind heavy right now, but with combat being kinda lacking, group fights being obnoxious as a solo, and now at an area where upgrades are coming slow from how much I need to grind, I think it's time to drop it here.  It's very much the same feeling I had with Valheim where I played enough, I can see where the good stuff will be, and hopefully it'll be that great game down the line when it hits 1.0 in like 2 or 3 years.

I think after playing kinda heavier, involved, games lately as I am just about to finish Death Stranding 2, I think I need to focus on like smaller scale or linea things for abit, so along with replaying Metro 2033 here soon due to the new game announcement, I picked up Frogun Encore also, a cute low poly 3d platformer throwback game, I think that'll be good to get into for abit.  I think that's gonna be the plan for abit.  Dark linear shooters and fun platformers lol
