Played recently: Dragon Quest Builders

Finished: nothing

Added to backlog: nothing

I'm just starting the third chapter of DQ Builders. Such a fun game. And even though I beat it 10 years ago on Vita, I don't remember a thing so it's like a brand new game! (A silver lining to old age mental failings. )

Ha, yeah, nice positive spin. Heck, you don't even need a library/backlog. You only need one really long game so that when you reach the end you can begin again as if it were brand new.

I'm about 6 hours into Onimusha 3, and it has been fun, if a bit formulaic, both in terms of my memory of the series and Capcom's bigger offerings in the PS2-ish era. I'm having a good time though.

I also have been continuing with Slay the Spire. Fun roguelike card-battler. I've had a couple of wins and am exploring other characters.

Also still working on season 2 of my current OOTP historical (fictional) franchise. We've cooled off a bit, but are still on a win pace to beat the all-time record of 116 season wins with about a month left in the season. I want that record, even if it's isolated to a world outside of the record, but I've never had a season like that in all my time playing. My fear is being so dominant and then laying a wretched egg that lands with a thud in the post-season. So, I'm not forcing over-use of important players, trying to maintain the bigger picture in focus while still hoping to break the record.

Finished: Nothing

Now Playing: Wolverine

Added to Backlog: Nothing

Current Backlog: 35 games

Only like 2 hours into Wolverine, but having fun so far learning the mechanics and whatnot.
