Grounded 2. Going pretty well. Really feel like sprinted through the available content. Especially compared to my hundreds of hours in abiotic factor just a week ago.

I'm replaying the Mass Effect Trilogy as it's been about 10 years since I last did. Still working my way through the ME1 portion at the moment and it shows its age with pop up text boxes instead of showing some quest outcomes & repeated planet instillations, but it is about to be a 20 year old game (!). It is still absolutely amazing the way they managed to create such a vivid, deep, and fleshed out world & set of characters first time though. The seems in the dialogue system are clunky by today's standards but a good amount of the writing remains amazing for the time & better than a lot of what you get today. The music and art direction still rocks too.
When I haven't had time to sit down and sink a lot of time into a game I've been playing Into The Breach. I really like FTL & still boot it up now and then, but when I bought Into The Breach years ago I just couldn't get into it. For whatever reason though, this time it's really starting to click for me (albeit on Easy for now) especially as I start to discover more of what you can do with movement/attack cancelling etc rather than always trying to clear the board like in other strategy games I play.
I started playing Jedi Survivor this week and it's fun. Luckily I haven't had any performance issues so far (8 hours in) so my experience is only positive. Lots of people complained about performance, especially at launch. It still has a Mixed rating on Steam because of it.
I'm not silking my song yet since I haven't finished the first Hollow Knight yet. Besides, the stuff I've heard about the increased difficulty sounds terrible. I'll probably just play it with mods when I get to it.
Still cooking on Death Stranding 2, but I did take a break from it. I might be playing it too slowly. Other than that, I've been playing Abiotic Factor and trying Rimworld after a long break.
Having a bit of a mental struggle getting into games right now. I've got that stupid thought cycle going on telling me I should be trying to monetize my time rather than just enjoying myself. I think it sucks a lot of the joy out of gaming (and other hobbies) for me.

Just beat MGS Delta. Was my first full play through of MGS3, I think I got halfway through some years ago. Beat it on Normal in about 12 hours with no alerts and no kills, my first for an MGS game (I've beaten 1, 2, and both 5s)
I've been trying to play Stalker 2 but my god, I'm on medium settings and it's barely playable with frame generation on.
