Since it was on sale, I got the Devil May Cry HD Collection on PS4, completing the series on the console. Been wanting to play DMC3 again for a long time.

Just picked up Geometry War 3 and The Talos Principle for a little over £6 in the store’s January Sale. Also, I saw MGSV: Definitive Edition for £3.99... if anyone hasn’t played that yet that is incredible value.
Just bought Dark Souls Remastered and MLB The Show 20 in the sale. Still working my way through AC Valhalla and P5R so not sure why I bought these. LOL
It's alright if you don't agree with me... I can't force you to be right.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Ha, thanks! It seemed apt after his recent quiz appearance and the fact I’m playing that other well known marsupial platformer right now.
As for Yakuza, the beginning to Zero is a bit slow as there is lots of walking between cutscenes and some serious exposition dump. It is a little linear for a while but once it opens out it’s great fun.
A lot of the personality for the series comes from the side missions (sub stories) and hopefully you don’t mind the stark contrast between the sometimes serious main story and frequently absurd sub stories!
So I fully intend to concentrate on what I have left to get through on PS3 and the PS4 games I have already started... but a mate just suggested that we co-op through Dying Light together and I’ve always quite fancied playing it. So it should be arriving next week.
Last of us 2, I've been playing for about 25 hours and the graphics especially on the ps5 are amazing and I'm not normally one for graphics but not commenting on then would be unjustified! I'm actually loving it after all the bad reviews (I managed to avoid spoilers) I was worried but I can't believe all the negativity, I mean I can understand it but I just can't believe people would be that petty to not enjoy what seems a brilliant and gripping story! Still got along way to go so I could change my mind I suppose
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yakuza 0 is one of the games that I enjoyed while playing but somehow got away from before I finished it. I think a lot of that has to do with the enormous amount of content in the game. The map is not that big by today’s gaming standards, but it chock full of activities. It was kinda hard on my obsessive personality because if you want to try every mini game then you’re in for a huge time investment. Just learning how to play Mahjong and Shogi (purely optional, like most of the side activities) could take you 20-30 hours alone. 😄 Add to that the batting cages, the arcade games, fishing, slot car racing, karaoke, the real estate and hostess management... and many more. It was a bit overwhelming to me. The core story alone is a meaty chunk of game time. Not to mention it’s one of 8 mainline games, most with an similar amount of content, and it’s an intimidating venture that I think eventually dissuaded me. I don’t know though, I could be convinced to open it up again and at least try to finish the main story. The character are brilliant and the side quests are often hilarious. The personality of the game is unmatched; it’s just a lot of fun.
I guess I’m of two minds about the game. 😅

Pocket Car Racer is one of the timesink side activities in Zero but the hostess maker sub stories/mini game could easily be an own game in its own right! The dance battles are still one of the best things in Zero though.
And as @Th3solution says, it's a meaty affair. I think my total play time was around the 90hr mark doing the main story, all sub stories, and giving most things a go with side activities.
Someone on another forum I use has got the platinums for Zero, K1, and K2 which is insane as you need to beat the game twice and 100% the completion lists.
If you enjoy Zero, the Kiwami games use the same engine but are much shorter games.
