My nephew is really into Plants vs Zombies, and I'll admit, it's sucked me in too. I'm trying to impress him by getting my name at a respectable position on the Endless Leaderboard on Xbox, but I'm having some trouble with my controller missing button presses when I go to arm a Cob Cannon for missile launch.

I can't believe I'm actually considering upgrading to an Xbox Series S in order to get smoother performance out of Plants Vs Fucking Zombies...

I have been playing the first season of Diablo 4 and it's been fun, not because of Diablo but because it's what my friends are doing.

I’ve been bouncing between final fantasy XVI and Jedi survivor. Slowly making my way through the games and enjoying both.

The Isle (beta branch)

So much fun growing up as a Dino in a Dino eat Dino world. At the best of times it can be scary as hell.

Looking to finish Hogwarts legacy before I leave for vacation since i hate how it plays with a controller, and I'm taking my deck on the road, so no mouse/keyboard.

I'll probably finish breath of the wild and give a crack to emulating tears of the kingdom while away, fallback will probably be either Yakuza 3 or something like that.

I've been playing Exoprimal. I definitely wouldn't have paid $60 for it, but it's actually pretty fun - even though it's primarily PVE, it really scratches the role-based hero gameplay I wanted out of Overwatch's smoking wreck. In fact, keeping the shift primarily away from PVP (usually until endgame of each round) makes it so if you're getting bodied by a much better team, you still get to play before having your group inefficiencies exposed at the end. That's much better than an entire match being miserable with constant respawning.

Nearing the end of Trails of Cold Steel IV after spending the past several months working my way from Cold Steel I. I'm planning to get Trails into Reverie at some point, but will probably play the fan-translated Kuro no Kiseki first.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Backlog… so Far Cry 4

Eternal Return just launched out of beta so I'm going to be grinding that for the foreseeable future.

This week has been keeping up with Honkai Star Rail dailies. I haven't done the new patch content yet, but I'm just spending my energy getting resources and leveling my team.

Beyond that, I've been grinding some casual matches in Street Fighter 6. My local card shop is hosting a small tournament on Saturday, and I at least want my BnB combos to land. I don't think I'll win, but playing in Platinum is at least showing me where my weaknesses are.

Last but not least, I got Baldur's Gate 3 for the early access bit. It's fun, if a bit slow, and can be pretty punishing. Not sure if I'll play the full game by save scumming or just living (and dying) with the consequences of my actions.

TES Skyrim - It's like a hideout for the past 11 years. Grim Dawn - Use it to get rid of the stress. The Sims 3 - When I want to build something.

Enjoying the hell out of Beat Saber after sleeping on it for way too long. It almost feels like self-improvement as well, the higher difficulties are a workout and a half and with the massive amounts of custom songs available it's not likely to get boring anytime soon.

I do wish it wasn't mandatory to speed up the songs to get on the leaderboards, none of these tracks are improved by being played at whatever multiplier they use.

Testing out the new WoW talent system and likely will swap back to private servers while I wait for one called Project Epoch. That and Skyrim on switch or Among Us if my kids make me play with them.

Finally getting around to Assassin's Creed Origins. As a lifelong fan of the franchise, I'm still coming to grips with the changes, but it is not bad at all.@quinten

Finally a bit of Counter-Strike 2. Almost felt guilty for not being able to play much despite getting the coveted beta invite.

A bunch of ocarina of time randomizer and World of Warcraft.

Ys 8. My first Ys game and damn it is awesome..
