Finished SHADOW OF THE TOMB RAIDER. Boy does that game get dumb. Really fascinating example of a game that just didn't know what it was, tried to be every game ever made, and failed. I couldn't say why I put 40 hours into it other than there's something fundamental about those games I dig. Plus all the HDR.

DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN is also fantastically stupid, but in a mostly good way? I had a blast with this game, even complaining about it. It's handling of race stuff is baaaaaaaaad.

FULL THROTTLE REMASTERED gave me exactly the nostalgic hit I needed, so happy it was aPS+ game. If anybody's played this though, I didn't recall the motorcycle fights being quite as hard/bad as they are. I dropped the game there which is kind of a bummer.

HITMAN I mentioned a little above, I love to watch people play this game but I just can't get on its level.

13 SENTINELS Very, very cool game despite some pretty uncomfortable anime girl shit in the first 30 minutes. Some reviews say the combat portion isn't all that but I found its look and the later weapon types really fun to just watch go boom and make loud noises. There are 9,999 supplemental battles after the main story is over and I enjoy just firing this up as a podcast replacement for MLB THE SHOW. If you like sci-fi at all, everything you've ever liked about the genre is wadded up into this game but the way they present it will keep you on your toes and I doubt any two people would experience the story the same way.

YAKUZA ZERO I'm going back to after a year off. I played Kiwami first and tried to roll right into ZERO but was just done with the combat. Put about 14 hours in back then and the game is remarkably easy to jump right back into. Hooked on the cabaret club stuff and enjoying the real estate game as well. I watched Giant Bomb's play through of this game four years ago so nothing about the story can surprise me which is kind of a bummer but yup, it's as good as everybody says. Though Majima is a lot more fun to fight with than Kiryu is.
