I'm going to bend the rules a bit. I've played these three games over the past 3-4 months.

Bannerlord 2 (PS5): I sank about 20-25 hours into this game in the first month I played it, which is a lot for me. It was different from other games but, as I progressed through the campaign- it got incredibly repetitive, so I stopped playing. The multiplayer is DEAD, so it's pretty much campaign or bust on console.

Chivalry 2 (PS5): This game is a lot of fun. It's a simple multiplayer game, but the player base is relatively small, so the people that do play are incredibly good. This makes for a tough learning curve. I can get pretty annoyed at video games, and this one can grind my gears. The fighting is way better than Bannerlord's, but I'm pretty bad at the game, which makes it hard for me to sink a lot of hours into it since I die so much.

God of War Ragnarok: Well, I played this game for about 5-10 hours, then got bored. I played the previous installment of the game on PS4, and sank way more time into it. This is more of a me problem, though, since I can never finish games with long story's.

Of the three- I prefer Chivalry since it's mindless fun, but I'm still on the search for a good game to sink a lot of time into. I can't game as much as I did when I was a young adult and,honestly, I don't have the desire to, so a mindlessly fun multiplayer game that is forgiving and doesn't have a big learning curve is what I'm in search of. Something like Battlefront 2 (PS4) would be perfect.

I gave up on Baba is You and jumped over to Dorfromantik, which I got in the same Humble Bundle. This game is so addicting! I love these casual, relaxing puzzle games. It kind of reminds me of Mini Motorways in the sense of how casual and in depth it is at the same time. I have a feeling I'm going to sink a ton of hours into this.

I had that when I was younger and I remember it being pretty underrated. I really enjoyed my time with it!

Started playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order since it’s on PS plus this month and I’m loving it so far. Some decent gameplay and a good Star Wars story, can’t ask for much more than that. Only thing that kind of bothers me is the slides seem really out of place

I just finished it, thought it was a really nice entry into that universe. The beginning missions and end missions are particularly fun. A bit of a slog at times in the middle, but that’s partly down to me not being quite as adept at sword combat games.

I got Arkham Origins on PSN for free. I dig it, but I want to see more heroes and villains I know of.
Arkham Asylum is good for that. As the name implies the game takes place mostly in the Arkham Asylum that houses a lot of Gotham's finest and most notable villains.

The most annoying mission in that game was one of the early ones where the fear meter wouldn't go up and you couldn't catch up to them so you had to fire single shots at them for about three minutes and hope you didn't lose them.

Just finished Sons of the Forest last night and it was absolutely terrible.

It's the same game as the original, with a worse story (and the original had a terrible story too). Base building is completely unnecessary, exploring is pretty much unnecessary, surviving is incredibly easy because everything respawns all the time and there's a plethora of whatever you need at whatever location you're exploring. If I tried to casually speed run the game I'd be done in 2 or 3 hours most likely, and the bulk of that time would be spent running from one location to the next.

I tried to return it but Steam wouldn't do it because I had played too much. I kept playing waiting for it to get better. After each progression item I thought, "oh, this will unlock some more fun stuff now" and it just never came. A giant waste of time and a very buggy/unenjoyable experience.

Trying out Last Epoch because I’m a huge fan of Diablo and Path of Exile. It’s very similar to those games and quite a bit of fun so far.

Beat the Metroid Prime remaster earlier today, that's how you make a great remaster.

Arkham Knight seems much better at this, I got that on PSN too. I suck at driving the Batmobile though.
It's definitely tricky to drive that's for sure, but I loved it. Unfortunately they kind of tried to over-use it in the game, though, but I find it to be pretty fun.

Started the evil within. Like very very early only about 25 minutes in. The voice acting seems absolutely awful but the game feels like it’s going to be fun.

Still working through Dishonored 2 - about half way through. I'm really enjoying the focused experience. Fun mix of stealth, exploration, puzzle solving, and good ol' fashioned killing.

Also just started playing No Man's Sky with a friend. Something about exploring space is always fun. We're not too far in at this point, but have travelled to another planet and built a planetary base. Enjoying it so far.

Zelda Skyword sword.

I'm on the 2nd imprisoned fight and I can't do it.

The reason I can't do it is when he falls I can't get to his head his body blocks the pathI can't get around him in time.

Been at a loss of what to play lately. Downloaded Spiderman: Miles Morales last night though.

Played the 1st one on PS4, but since I've commandeered my wife's PS5 I figured I should finally get around the Miles Morales.
