Life imitates art, imitates life, imitates art, imitates life, imitates the Simpsons.
 
I currently play Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy (solid game), Horizon Forbidden West (amazing game) and Halo Infinite (very very good FPS).
 
After finishing Super Mario 3d world I was kind of stumped which direction to go next, still have a slew of purchased games to play going back 2 console gens, so with that being said I started another playthrough of Fallout 4 on game pass, I think I only played thru one time previously so it's not quite as familiar as FO3 or FO NV would be
 
I started Vaporum Lockdown last night after finishing the original Vaporum like a month or two ago. They didn't seem to really add too much but I'll take more content! The game is fun.

I'm still having a blast with Chivalry 2. Kind of bummed I feel cheated out of an achievement though. There's an achievement of "Get a kill from over 100 meters away." I got a kill at exactly 100 meters so I didn't get it lol.
 
In the post game of Ni No Kuni 2 and it's top 5 JRPG for this gen for me, easily. The battle system alone is just a ton of fun even after 60+ hours, better than the Tales series. I enjoyed recruiting people for my kingdom (Suikoden nod) also. I've loved Level 5 since Dark Cloud and Rogue Galaxy but this might be their best yet.
 
I have stuck with God of War long enough to unlock his blades. Now we're talking.
The blades were fun, shame it took 10 hours to get to them.

I picked up a few games at the Steam sale. A friend of mine who I use Steam Family Sharing with grabbed Rogue Legacy 2 and Turok which I plan on playing both. I grabbed Titanfall 2 (just for the single player, I keep hearing how amazing it is and it's <$5), a golf puzzle game called Golf Peaks that is pretty fun, and a stealth game called Volume that I've heard some good things on. All total, it was like $11 for everything I bought. My Steam sale purchases are getting smaller and smaller, probably for the best. It's not like I don't have enough games to play.

Interesting. I was curious about the first game after seeing the charming Ghibli art. I've almost bought it on sale a couple times, just never went through with it due to backlog. I heard the sequel was a fairly radical departure, but not familiar with the series.

It would certainly be a tall order to make my top 5 JRPG's this gen though. Persona 5, Trails of Cold Steel games, Fire Emblem Three Houses, however many Xenoblade games I can count in this gen...
 
Destiny 2 has been the game of choice of late, with little time to play games now I can still hop on and get a few things done. Used to play DayZ and Rust but the time they require just isn't available to me any longer.

There really isn't much similarities between the two aside from the art style. The battle systems are different, in the first one you collect familiars like Pokémon that fight with you. Oh, both have a super annoying sidekick but Drippy from the first game is unbearable, Lofty from the second is occasionally funny.

I've tried some of Trails and Xenoblade games multiple times and they just don't work for me. My top 5 would be Ni No Kuni 2, Yakuza Like a Dragon, FF7 Remake, Dragon Quest XI, and probably Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

I appreciate the thoughts. I adore Trails/Xenoblade while I dropped DQXI after 10 hours and thought FF7 remake was good, but not great. So I think we have some different tastes.

I love Yakuza, but I'm playing in order and still making my way through the older games. Excited to get to the turn based one though.
 
Neon White rips though I feel like it might rip considerably less if you're not playing it on mouse and keyboard.
Yeah, to me Ghostrunner is completely unplayable on console. If you're going to make an fps for console you need to heavy finetune the auto-aim and camera movement and a lot of inexperienced devs just have no idea how to do that. Neon White sort of seems like a made for PC game

Like a Dragon was the first Yakuza I really played after some failed attempts at the older ones years ago. After completing Dragon I decided to give the remakes that were on Game Pass a shot and, again, just couldn't get past the fighting, it felt so slow and awkward. And I then tried Judgment and Lost Judgment and they really hit the sweet spot, fighting is smooth and responsive. The stories don't focus on the yakuza, the first one is yakuza-adjacent, but the stories overall are both solid as are the characters and you get the usual Yakuza series staples like mini games and some goofy Encounters.

It's even worse for NW because the only console option is the Switch, which has the worst controllers in the industry.
 
I'm playing Kingdom Come Deliverance. It's such a proper RPG. It reminds me of playing Ultima, only with amazing graphics. The cities and forests actually look real. I wish other developers (both in NA and Japan) took note of what European companies are doing with RPGs, especially Bethesda and Bioware. Warhorse, Owlcat and Larian have done an incredible job. I wish I could still say CDprojekt red, but we all know why not.
 
I made it to the end of the plot in God of War. I'm going to tear this game to bits when I finish it and review it.

If you're going to play four games at once, it's key that they are all different genres otherwise you'd mess the controls up
 
As a Genesis kid, I bit the bullet and bought Sonic Origins for Switch. Having a lot of fun. Prolly not worth what I paid, but if you loved Sega/Sonic, I'd absolutely buy it when it goes on sale. These games are timeless (16 bit has aged very well compared to the ps1/ps2 era).
