Been into Civ 6 lately. Sometimes I kind of have to go like "ok, this is a strategy game and that's what I'm treating it as" because the way they portray civilization can be a bit... I think maybe colonial-centric is the phrasing I'm looking for. I feel it's very in need of a win condition that comes from deep alliances and not just faux forced diplomacy "only one person can be the winner" kind of thing. But if I treat it as a competitive strategy game with a civilization-based outfit on and don't take the cultural influences too seriously, it's fun enough and has a lot of depth to it for improving at the strategic elements over time. So I can really sink a lot of hours into it, if I let myself.

I finished up the Link's Awakening remake, this week. Was playing it in tandem with my 8-year-old. I hadn't played it in like 2 weeks because I couldn't figure out the gimmick for the second-to-last phase of the final boss, so I figured I'd wait for my son to catch up. The kicker is that HE actually figured it out, before I did. So proud...
Also been slowly working through on Horizon: Zero Dawn, but I keep finding I have 0 desire to play it. Nothing significantly wrong with it, but I have yet to feel actually engaged, 21 hours in.
21 hours in is "not feeling engaged"? It took me less to finish Mafia 2 main story!
