NBA 2k21
Demon's Souls

Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Bugsnax
2 new consoles is a busy time:
Astrobot
Spider-Miles
Yakuza

I'm still working on Gravity Rush 2 for PS4. I beat Fire Emblem: Conquest while I was waiting for XSX updates to download (by far the hardest Fire Emblem that I've played).
I'm excited to play Miles Morales too, but will probably wait until the first round of discounts. Never played a Yakuza game...

Ok this Ubisoft issue with Watch Dogs and Valhalla where you have to replay the end of your last mission when you log in again is super annoying.

Less annoying than corrupt save files which is also an Ubisoft issue.

Alternating between one night of Demon's Souls and then another night with Valhalla.

2k21 is mixed in there too. The next gen version is a considerable step up.

I started playing Bioshock Infinite again. This game may have been just a few years early, in a lot of ways.

Just wait, it really opens up once you acquire more skills and ability points.

Legit top 5 of all time game for me. It's a masterpiece. The soundtrack still gives me goosebumps.

That's one I started and enjoyed but got to a boss I had trouble with and stopped playing. Now it's been so long I feel like if I go back to it I might as well just start over.

Yeah I stopped after 12 hours or so. No boss in my way, I just got lost, and I refuse to look up help. Which is stupid, because I would have played on if I had swallowed my pride.

It's that Dark Souls mentality--you deprive yourself of so much reward by referring to guides or enlisting help.

I can't remember getting stuck on a boss in that game, but definitely getting lost several times.

I’ve finally totally warmed up to Spider-Man remastered about 20% into campaign. Looking forward to completing it and getting into Miles now.

Yeah the soundtrack is awesome, love all the anachronistic covers. The city is basically proto-Trump paradise, it's so weird going through it after four years of this shit. It's also crazy how much they had to leave out of the game vs. when it was being developed. Curious what it would have looked like even just a few years later.

It really doesn't get any better than beating a boss in a Soulsbourne game that you have been struggling with for hours. Pure gaming euphoria.
