I’ve played a few more the last month:
Kirby and the Forgotten Land: did you like Super Mario Odyssey? Great news, this plays kind of like that but with Kirby so things tend to be easier 99% of the time. Seriously, a fun 3D platformer more than capable of standing on its own merits, but the Nintendo family resemblance is there.
Hotwheels Unleashed: finished this in like 3 days. Was fun, but a bit too short for me (without paying extra for all the DLC).
The Witcher 3: if I’ve never talked about this one here, then suffice to say it’s one of my favorite games of all time, perhaps even desert island material for me. I’m taking the opportunity to replay this one as the next-gen update came out late last year and was a free upgrade for me on my PC. Unfortunately doesn’t run quite as well as it used to, but it also looks a lot better to me. It’s playable, though obviously unsmooth, which is not the end of the world as so many make it out to be. Having fun and am maybe 1/3 of the way through the game right now, will probably finish around May/June sometime.
Gran Turismo 4: my favorite driving game ever, I started a new file on this last week and have been putting time into it ever since. It’s not the most realistic simulation anymore by a long shot, but the AI is relentless, no babying or slowing down to match your speed. In that way, it stands head and shoulders above a lot of modern driving games that are more focused on trying to give a close race than an accurate one. Car too slow? You’ll notice the rest of the pack driving away from you. Not learning how to make the car go fast? You’re not going to pass the license tests and even be allowed to race. Brutal.
There’s a few more on the docket for coming weeks:
Metroid Prime Remastered (just got it today)
Atomic Heart
Yakuza 0
