Played: Dying Light 2: Stay Human
Finished: Nothing
Playing: Horizon Forbidden West
Added: Blue Reflection: Second Light, The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes, Edge of Eternity, Little Nightmares II, Xuan Yuan Sword 7
I shouldn’t have bought Dying Light 2 on day one for full price because not only is the PS4 version somewhat rough, but also because I knew that I couldn’t finish it before Horizon Forbidden West came out. However, at the time I didn’t know that the PS4 version was going to be as bad as it is based on how good the PS4 version of Dying Light looks and performs, and I was also planning on waiting to get Horizon Forbidden West when it was cheaper.
Although I find Dying Light 2 more acceptable unpatched since it looks a little better and doesn’t have a game breaking audio bug, it still wasn’t worth $60 IMO. However, I was enjoying it and if Horizon Forbidden West wasn’t coming out Friday then I would have kept playing it until completion. But since I’m getting Horizon Forbidden West on Friday I want to start playing it, so Dying Light 2 will be going into my backlog and won’t be played again until at least after I finish Horizon Forbidden West.

Bring on Horizon, I'm ready! I think I'm about to go to the last area of Dysmantle, so I believe I can wrap it up this week - story and most, but not all, side stuff & trophies.

Played: DBZ Kakarot (j, I got a plat, I learned it by watching you
), Steamworld Dig 2
,...Lego DC Supervillains
Moved onto the extremely grindy DBZ Kakarot DLC after getting a platinum and doing the really substantial amount of post game substories. This game is just DBZ Yakuza. That's why I am so hooked. Also, the DLC had horde battles and the next one isn't even about Goku (Kakarot of the title if you didn't know) but his rival's son from the future for another 8-12 hours. Oh and then there's the collectible card game I haven't even started yet. I ********LOVE THIS GAME
Phase, Steamworld Dig 2 is cool, I am stuck at an annoying boss at the moment. That was the same issue I had with the first one, combat is fine or falls off a cliff. It's orders of magnitude better here than the first one. I like how it has a flow. Except these aggressively fine boss fights that aren't as mechanically interesting as they think they are. Still, really digging it (pun intended).
**** Lego DC Supervillains. **** that game so hard

I played Chronos: Before the Ashes, and I liked the little that I played of it. It’s a third person dark fantasy action adventure game inspired by the Souls games, but while it’s challenging it’s not quite as punishing as the Souls games. While I was enjoying it, it’s not something that I want to get invested into right now.
I started playing a little indie 2D pixel art turn-based RPG called Ikenfell, and it’s hitting the spot right now. It’s cute with charm, and I like its battle system. The graphics are a little more pixelated than I would like, but they still have a retro appeal to them. It’s been entertaining me enough to want to stick with it.

The reviews for Horizon Forbidden West are out, and they’re really good. Just a few more days to go.

Played recently: Valkyria Chronicles 4
Finished: nothing
Added to backlog: nothing
Current backlog: 21 (17 PS4, 4 Switch)
I think I'm about two-thirds of the way through VC4. Some interesting new elements have popped up... very much enjoying this one now.
Glad to see the great reviews for Horizon.

Games added: Pokemon Arceus, Pokemon Snap 2, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, Zelda: Skyward Sword, Dying Light 2
Last week: Finished Journey to the Savage Planet, played some Bejeweled. Oh, played the beginning of DL2, but it's not what I'm in the mood for right now.
This week: Thought about starting Xenoblade 2 over since I never finished that one (after the announcement of part 3 coming in Sept), but I don't know if I wanna get into a big RPG this close to Elden Ring's release. Played a bit of a pretty cool indie off of Gamepass last night called Infernax, it's basically if Castlevania 2 didn't suck.
The Cyberpunk Series X patch was released today, so I'll probably start that up tonight (ignore what I said earlier about starting a RPG...)
OK, serious talk. Did I or did I not post my top 10 for last year? I could *swear* I did, but after seeing Crim's I looked for the thread and don't see it. I may be losing what's left of my mind...
Also, that Xenoblade 3 trailer is straight FIRE.

It looks cool, I’m going to get it when it’s on sale.
