Finished: LEGO Harry Potter Collection: Years 5-7, PowerWash Simulator 2: Adventure Time DLC
Now Playing: Unsure
Added to Backlog: Nothing
Current Backlog: 34 games
Got the plat in LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7, felt a bit more polished than the first game. Also completed the Adventure Time DLC in PWS2 - don't know much about it, but it was fun. Unsure what I'm playing next.

Re: The Backlog Check-in Vol. 433: 4/18/26: Kiln Edition
Played recently: Horizon: Forbidden West
Finished: Horizon
Added to backlog: nothing (yet)
I finished and platinum'd Horizon over the weekend. I loved a few things that happened late (especially one particular mount), and the story wrapped up pretty nicely (while setting up Horizon 3). Not to beat a dead horse, but Aloy's new personality and chattiness and the high annoyance level of some of the other characters are the only things that marred an otherwise great game for me. Very glad I played it, and hope they get better script writers and character designers for the finale.
Like you, j, I'm unsure what I'll play next. I'm taking a trip next week so maybe nothing until I get back. We will see!

Games added: Nothing.
Last week: Finished nothing, played Crimson Desert.
This week: Crimson Desert.
I'll probably also check out Vampire Crawlers - it's a deck builder by the Vampire Survivors guys, and it's going to be on GamePass day-1.
Re-watched Poltergeist over the weekend - it's been a long time since I saw it, and it's such a great movie. I also watched this awful new movie starring Seth Green called The Highest Stakes.
