Joe:  I am still chipping away at tears of kingdom ( I know I know ) and playing mass effect off and on. (edited) Brasop: still wakes the deep on gamepass which I thought was excellent and only a few short-comings. Tomb raider trilogy remastered - just finished the first two games and about to start the third. Love the original series, classic childhood games of mine. My brother recommended the two Ori games so I've just started the first one of those and after a pretty slow opening its now really good, love the movement and speed of the main character. Also went back and finally finished the Doom 3 expansion Resurrection of Evil after nearly 20 years. I remember getting half life 2 and doom 3 in 2004, that was a special time. Anyway, cheers all Brydude: I’ve been doing a new game plus run of persona 3 reload and also started playing Jedi survivor and another crabs treasure. whenever it’s multiplayer with my buds, we usually play Fortnite, or overwatch Beavis Christ: Only the best, baby. DKC Tropical Freeze, FF6, Sekiro Brasop - do you have a game you go back to and replay all the time, not necessarily a favourite game but a comfort game, that you can play and without worrying too much about it because you're so comfortable with it. Mine might be Giants Citizen Kabuto on PC, I can breeze through that without thinking too much and love it.
