With a name like Unholy Diver, I'm surprised that you're not playing Subnautica: Below Zero.

After seeing some of the talk about it on here I plan on giving the original Subnautica a try after Village and see where that takes me

Been jamming on Subnautica Below Zero since the 1.0 release day. About 40 hours into in now.
I finished the original Subnautica in about 70 hours, though the game certainly could have been finished much faster. I probably did a lot more exploring and base building then was truly necessary.

Yeah, I've been playing Below Zero since release day and my save says about 1 day and 8 hours, so that's 32 hours total. I think that I'm nearing the end (Edit: yeah, I just finished the game in under 34 hours). It certainly doesn't need to take so many hours, though, since so much of your team goes into just exploring and base building. Knowing everything that I know now, I bet that I could play it again and finish it in under 10 hours, though that wouldn't be any fun. The fun is in the exploration and base building, not following the story.
BTW, you're on PC, right? There are some nice mods available already. One of the best is one to increase the number of quick slots to 10 from 5, giving enough room for most of your tools. Why the devs didn't do that and force us to swap tools all of the time, I don't know. There are also a few nice ones to increase storage in your inventory and all lockers, which is kind of cheating, but I'm far enough in the game for it to not really matter. I can give some links to the ones that I'm using if you're interested.

Yakuza Like a Dragon
I like this games story, but the dungeon in chapter 8 was just bad. Like mindblowingly bad. This isn't really a game you binge (obviously, howlongtobeat has it as a 40-50 game). Also, if you're gonna play it, be prepared to experience it like a tv show. Most of the game does not directly address the overarching plot, it's more of a mystery of the week drama each chapter
Sackboy
This game genuinely shocked me. I liked it a lot but once I got to Treble in Paradise (world 1 level 8) I genuinely feel that it's on the level of 3D world if not exceeds it. And the graphics are just outstanding. I don't know how it compares to the PS4 version but the PS5 version at 4k60 is just eye candy and the music totally complements the gameplay. It's fantastic.

Red Dead Redemption 2 bored me so much, I went back to the classics as that game gave me AAA fatigue. It doesn't help that the game I previously finished was Dark Souls 3, which was a masterpiece in terms of gameplay, art and atmosphere.
So, I've been playing the SNES. Me and my son have been playing Final Fight and Turtles in Time. I just finished Mega Man X and am starting Soul Blazer. I forgot how great of a console the SNES was.

boohoo, Pens "fans", BOOHOO
Still makes zero sense that Terranigma, a game that already is translated into English and released in Europe in the 90s, hasn't been released on any of their virtual consoles.
Think my favorite areas of Soul Blazer is the underwater one with the mermaids and the old house where you fight in model towns. I loved the "defeat a horde of monsters from a portal to unlock a townsperson" aspect of that game.

It's the first time I play Soul Blazer. Of the trilogy, the only one I finished was Illusion of Gaia (time) back when I was a kid. I thought it was brilliant story telling back then.
I just finished Grass Valley and I already love the way they present the world and story.
Apparently, Terranigma is the best of the trilogy. I don't want to rush it though, my plan is to play through the three games in order.
Andor's Trail free download from F-Driod or Google Play, for anyone who likes Dragon Warrior style RPG etc.

Dark Cloud - 2001
Giving this classic another play-through at the moment. I tend to find Dark Cloud was a pretty underrated game. I believe that game was originally intended to stand up to the Zelda series, it never quite hit that mark. IT was generally received well by critics, the game didn't do very well commercially. It has an interesting blend of RPG-elements mixed with city-building aspects as well. It absolutely has some of that "Early PS2 Era" Charm to it, and in my opinion it holds up quite well.

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition via PSNow.
Not the ideal way to play it, but didnt feel like pulling out my Xbox 360.
Still the best, most satisfying fighting game ever made.

Anything Street Fighter is with paying for sure
, 3 is awesome but my favorite is always Alpha 2

Street Fighter Alpha 2 was my favorite by a long shot until 3rd Strike came out and fixed Street Fighter 3. Amazing game. So tight, custom combos and updated alpha counters made the game so much deeper than any SF game before.
The parry system puts 3rd Strike ahead for me, plus I love the roster of thugs, weirdos and circus freaks in SF3.
Totally agree 3rd Strike improved on SF3 in every way and the parry system is tight especially, one thing I didn't like though is how Chun Li and Gen is compared to Alpha 2.

Well Chun-Li is basically GOD in 3rd Strike, lol. She's the best character in the game, and then there's a clear gap to Yun (who is so good because he has custom combos as a super), Ken and Makato.
Gen isn't in 3rd Strike, unless I missed some lore reason that turned him into a different character (it would be cool if the hermit freak Oro was actually just a super-old broken down version of a much younger character in the Alpha series, for example).

RIP, Jimmy.
Re-playing FFXV. Snagged the Royal Edition for free on PS Plus. Have to say, the Royal Edition makes the game significantly better.
I thought it was meh when I first played but 4+ years later I am really digging this game. The story is still a giant miss but I am having significantly more fun now than I did when I first played it.
After this will probably be Intergrade and, depending on if/when Diablo II resurrected releases, that will be my time sink for the remainder of 2021.

Picked up Shin Megami Tensei 3 HD Remaster.
Should be a good time.
Should be a good time.
Whoops, I thought Gen was in one of the SF3 versions...anyways, in 3 I usually choose Yun or Yang, because I remember for some reason that Chun Li wasn't as good as in alpha2 - in alpha2 I always chose Gen or Chun Li because they were better than Ken and Ryu, but of course I started playing Street Fighter 1 and 2 using Ryu and Ken.
For some reason I thought Chun Li wasn't as good in SF3 compared to in Alpha 2... maybe it was her upwards kick or something...but yeah if Oro was an older version from earlier versions that'd be cool!

Highly recommend this game for 2-3 dollars especially if you have a coop partner.

Got so pissed off at myself playing VF5: US that I accidentally snapped one of the latches on the gate of my Mad Catz TE2 stick. 
Not the end of the world, I've had it since 2009 and the parts are cheap and I can repair it, just won't have a fight stick for awhile.
Still an amazing fighting game. Haven't been this into a fighter since the original release of SF3: OE.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon, although I wouldn’t exactly say “playing” as 95% of the game is apparently cutscenes. When does this actually open up? I’m on chapter 2.
