I'm about 15 hours into octopath traveler 2. its been a long time since i've played a JRPG like this one. the story and design are great so far. Getting a little bored with the grindiness of dungeons but that's the nature of things in this type of game. The amount of choices you can make as any character with their battles at any time is mind boggling, which makes boss fights really strategic but a regular fight against grunts can be tedious.

Beat Saber. It's a fun workout. Trying to play almost every track I have, both base and DLC.

Finishing up FF16. I’m on mission 44 of 49 but they throw 10+ side missions at you in between each main mission so it’s probably going to be a while before I wrap everything up.

I'll try to finish Death Stranding.

A whole weekend might get me through two, maybe even three cutscenes.

More Diablo IV, with my wife. We don’t really understand the “hearts” system in the new season—we know how to get and use them, but there doesn’t seem to be any way to upgrade them or get anything other than the same few over and over again. But we’ll figure it out. (It’s my first time playing a Diablo game online, and I am highly resistant to looking this sort of thing up.)

Final Fantasy 16! Trying to savor it as it feels like an event that only comes once a decade now.

So I have Diablo 4 and FFXVI with about 20 hours each…

And here I am playing the FFX/X-2 remaster for the nostalgia. I’m probably gonna return to FFXVI sooner but man the mid-game death of my favorite character made me take a pause.

Assassins Creed Valhalla!

Just downloaded Dysmantle, as I heard good things about it, looking forward to trying it out over the weekend.

I started playing Alan Wake and so far it's interesting and it looks pretty good. I've had my eye on Exoprimal. Might wait for a sale tho $60 seems a little steep for a multiplayer.

Jedi Survivor. It’s buggy and glitchy and not a world beater game but I can wield a lightsaber. A woman of simple pleasures.

Making my way through FF16. According to the PS5 dashboard completion percentage I'm at about 70% complete right now. So I might be able to finish over the weekend, but having a six-year-old at home might make that harder to accomplish.

Either way, I'm really enjoying it despite it being absolutely archaic in terms of its actual game design. It's really carried by its presentation, soundtrack, and decent story. They've arguably stripped away too much of what typically defines a Final Fantasy game here, but I'm still having a great time by just choosing to appreciate what it does do well.

The Witcher 3 mostly. And a bit of Street Fighter. Maybe some Rocket League.

Hi! I'm currently on my second playthrough of The Last of Us: Part 2. The first time around, the PS5 patch was released a week after I completed the game, so now I'm enjoying the 60FPS upgrade. I have a stack of games to get through and as a parent, my time is limited. I have Death Stranding, Skywalker Saga, Cyberpunk 2077 and probably a few more I'm forgetting. :-)

A bit of Battlefield 1 the best online shooter I've had the pleasure to experience and South Park The Fractured But Whole a pretty fun RPG that feels just like you're playing an episode from the show.
