    1. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. It’s… not bad so far. I expected way worse because of the controversy surrounding its horrible microtransaction system (buying XP boosts and shit), which granted still exists, but the gameplay itself is pretty engaging. You must really have 0 time to play if you feel you need the XP boosts, because I’ve been leveling up pretty damn fast without them. The RPG elements are a good touch and the game doesn’t feel brainless like some other adventure games, Skyrim etc. where you just zone out and walk towards a map marker. It encourages exploration quite a bit which I appreciate, even requiring you to think critically about some quests.

    State of Decay 2 has been allowing me to live out my Walking Dead fantasies like no other game has. It’s a little rough around the edges but I love it.

    1. RPGs. Bioware RPGs in particular. And I demand more >:( I can do isometric ok, but it always feels kind of off to me. I wanna see my character fully realized y’know, just personal taste.

    2. I upgraded to Playstation Extra which gives access to the PS Plus back catalog of monthly games, which is how I’ve been playing AC: Odyssey, as well as Frostpunk.
