I'm about a dozen hours in and liking it a lot. Do you have experience with Persona or is this your first Atlus game?

It's my first Atlus game, but I am not new to JRPG's. I like Gallica, but the constant cheerleading is grating on me. I am enjoying the game, especially the challenging combat, but only in short bursts.
 
Playing the Black Ops 6 campaign. 5 levels in and it's pretty good. There's much more sandbox elements to it vs prior COD campaigns. You actually choose where you go instead of being forced into a pathway
 
Marvel Rivals is like that hot dark haired 20-something girl with fake lips, tons of make-up, tattoo sleeves, fake tits, barely eats and only does glutes workouts at the gym.

Like, please come take my money and **** up my life forever. I want it.

It looks like it's the culmination of everything I hate in gaming tossed in with a marvel skin. It's "lowest common denominator" entertainment and I'm sure they'll make tens of millions off of dumbass skins and such.
 
so after putting in almost 30 hours of Metaphor, decided to take a break for a bit to not get burned out. Usually end up doing that with long games.

So I'm scrolling through my library and come across the Mass Effect trilogy. I bought it on sale a year ago or so but hadn't touched it yet. Never played it on the original release. Start the first game and holy crap, this thing is amazing! Had nothing to do today and put in 6 hours like it was nothing, time flew by so fast. The world building, the setting, this game rocks. And I know the sequel got a lot more praise as well at the time. Overall though even the first one holds up damn fine. I'm getting my Interstellar on, just exploring all these planets. You actually have freedom and multiple ways to handle quests. I can see why this series had so much hype at the time.

They did a great job of tweaking the first Mass Effect for that bundle that came out a few years ago, brought the gameplay more in line with the others. It's a fantastic series, the fourth one is divisive but I personally loved it as I thought the gameplay was the best though the story is the weakest.

Beyond the appeal of the Marvel license, I think the reason Rivals is hitting so hard is because it’s filling the void Overwatch left open when Blizzard got fixated on turning Overwatch into a competitive e-sport. The early days of Overwatch were messy, experimental, funny, low stakes fun.

Thats kinda what Rivals is. There’s no role queue, you can switch characters at respawn as many times as you like during a match, etc. It feels free and chill. The kinda game you laugh when you screw-up and die instead of feeling anxious that you let your team down and now the push got stomped, and oh god am I gonna hear it now…

Every time I attempt this strategy, it backfires. By the time I come back I want to start over....

High praise! How so? I don't know anything about the game

It isn't on the level of BotW but it scratches a similar itch: you are put into a giant map and you can go anywhere you want from the beginning.

It is an FPS that is more realistic than arcade: there are ammo types, weapons and armor degrade, you die very fast at the start of the game etc.

The setting is the Chernobyl nuclear power plant but in this world, things got weird; think post apocalyptic with destroyed buildings, monsters and tears into reality (which function as traps that can be found anywhere).

Have you played Metro: Exodus? And if so, how does it compare?

Metro's nearly 6 years old now, but sounds like it's cut from the same cloth.
