Finished Dragon Age: Inquisition! Interesting ending. Got me excited for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Dropped The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It was fun, but then it stopped being fun. May visit it again some day, when I am in a correct headspace for the game.

Started Borderlands 3 (on PS5), played just a little bit yet, liked the gunplay and combat, haven't made up my mind on the rest of the game.

Still playing Horizon Chase Turbo, nothing new to add there.

Finished Golf Story. It was a nice little game. I started it thinking it of as an RPG-lite, but it wasn't much of RPG. There were quests and leveling up, but most game have some kind of leveling up these days. I would just consider it a narrative sports games.

Started Hades. I am not a roguelike (or roguelite) fan, have never finished any, even though I have tried a few, so not sure how long I'll play this, but liking it so far. Have reached Elysium in over a dozen tries, not sure what kind of player that makes me. I am best with bow, shooting from far. Going to continue this for a while at least.

Also started Valkyria Chronicles, makes a good combo with Hades. A turn-based narrative game vs an action roguelike. In Chapter 4, which has the first big mission.

Phew, that was lots of games.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

Not going to read any of that, to stay from any spoilery content. In summary, are you enjoying it?

Not going to read any of that, to stay from any spoilery content.

FYI, I'm trying to avoid story discussion and talking mainly about characters, gameplay, and overall setting of the game. So hopefully no significant spoilers in there in case you read it by accident.

In summary, are you enjoying it?

Definitely. Can't praise the MC enough (my favorite since the Sky trilogy) interesting gameplay ideas that are also good QOL improvements, darker tone that pushes some boundaries from the series.

The main thing I'm not "sold" is the new team, maybe because the MC set a high bar? But side-characters in general are excellent and memorable, so I'm hoping the other party members will get more development over the game.

Interesting. Read your main post too. Hope rest of the cast develops well.
