I’m replaying Just Cause 3 a few years after my last run. It’s old, it’s a bit glitchy (understatement!), it’s dumb but it’s fantastic dicking around.
Total War: Warhammer 3. Already got 1100+ hours and still never got bored 
looking forward to try some multiplayer in time
I playing Doom Dark Ages and… The “Open World-ish” nature feels a bit boring when you backtrack to places to 100% the level. You can use the shield for a quick traversal but it only works if there are enemies…
Meanwhile, Rogue Trader made me feel really good about the vile dogmatic choices I made for a better Koronus Expanse future.
Pleasant suprise. 
All the feels and pretty fun, but very short.
One of the best student games that I’ve ever played.

Playing Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition.
Current impression is that the tonal change from the first game feels pretty weird and the recruitment and loyalty missions of the companions take up way too much space in the game. Maybe most of it is optional I have no idea but there is just too much of it.

Just finished Gris…
It is beautiful. It is depressing. It is boring. It is most definitely worth playing.
Said like SuperFastMatt
I have been curious about this game and wanted to buy it on sale but… yeah thanks for the summary. You have saved me money 
ME2 is my favourite Mass Effect of the entire series. Great game.
I really love GRIS. It’s pretty short. If you want more combat, the same company made one called Neva that’s challenging and just as beautiful.
I just finished playing Clair Obscur Expedition 33. I wrote a (spoiler free) review on my website:
If you are looking at it as purely a game - than yeah, skip it. It is slow-ish, simplistic and fairly short.
But this thing, I wouldn’t classify it as a game. It’s more of an art piece (and an incredible one at that) and if you let it, it will stir something up in you - just like any good work of art should.

I’m swapping between Apex Legends; Magic the Gathering; & liars bar. Although I have been pushing through dead space remaster on impossible mode.
::UPDATE:: died on chapter 5 of impossible mode to forgetting that the boss could not be killed or dismembered permanently 
Them loyalty missions are precursor, before taking on the Collectors
If any used members aren’t declared loyal, they won’t be nearly effective [aka, Ded QUIK]
I do need to resume my current game [but I know it’ll be time SUCC, whenever I commit]

Finished a 70 hour playthrough of Into the Radius. Really more than that with save reloads. One of the best VR games out there. Absolutely piss-yourself terrifying at first, but you do get used to it. It is a little short on variety and story content though. I’d like to do a replay just to use different weapons that I never played with, but that’s going to have to wait a while because it was getting quite same-y by the end, and I left nothing as far as missions or locations untouched. I guess I could try more of a speed run than a hoarding/completionist run. From what I can tell my time for a single playthrough is just insanely longer than most people.
Just started playing Borderlands Pre-Sequel after that. Ran all the characters up to the point of getting their skill, need to decide which one to do the run with. I had decided on Borderlands 3 as my next game, but then I remembered I had all the spinoffs I hadn’t done yet. These have been languishing in my library. Never played co-op, so never did the raid bosses of 2 or fully leveled up (I assumed a 2nd run on true vault hunter plus the DLCs would be plenty, but BOY does progression slow down late), so it felt kinda “unfinished” but finally resigned myself to those are just not happening.
This is pretty much Vampire Survivors for older Millennials
Nostalgia hits really hard and I cant help but smile and remember the terrible Win98 days.
I ran Expedition 33 for the first time and the Prologue hits hard, music hits hard and I get emotional really fast. I cant play it because of the feels
Also I suck at the QTE prompts. Somehow I cannot time it well, maybe because my brain tells me that I can relax my reflexes because its a turn based game but then the QTE prompts cue in and I cant seem to catch and time it well.

How did you play? I couldn’t hit them on the steamdeck cause of the latency of the tv and wireless 8bitdo controller and the fact that I streamed from my PC. When sat in front of my PC with wireless Xbox controller and a fast high refresh IPS screen, I could get a hang of it relatively quickly. It was impossible on the couch “setup”.
I literally cried. I do recommend the game. The story is really good and if you have the time, try to finish it. It is a work of art and I consumed it as such. My wife also enjoyed watching me play. For her it was much like a movie.

I have the official SteamOS installed in my all AMD gaming machine. The Flydigi Vader 4 works fine attached to the front port of the case. I also tried the Keychron attached to the L1T KVM and it feels harder to time.
My complain is that the interface is too flashy and distracting. Maybe I need to retrain my eye on how to time and see it.
My blocking and parrying is ass and I dont know why even though I played Sekiro few years ago just fine.
I haven’t played Sekiro, so I can’t comment on that.
During the QTE for my own attacks I would get tunnel vision and couldn’t appreciate the beauty of the animation. I thought I’m old and cannot focus on whole screen while trying to hit that “Perfect” attack. As for enemy attacks and parry/dodge - I encountered enemies I just couldn’t parry but those were lowly minions and wouldn’t impede my progress. The mainline bosses are easy to parry after a few tries. Once again instead of enjoying the whole presentation I was watching for twitch movement and LISTENING to audio cues! This one is the most important advice. Focus on audible signals that an attack is being performed!
I had to drop settings to low on the paintress encounter because fps drops were messing with my inputs. Like the realtime clock in game was preceding the animations I saw on screen.
Yup, definitely old.

Can’t you just get young again?

Yeah I found the interface too flashy too at first, but you get used to it, same as the dodging and parrying. You’ll get the hang of it. You can parry or dodge every attack so if it were easy the game would have no challenge.
