In fact, I just unlocked the Platinum trophy, for Hogwarts Legacy, about two hours ago. Found a collection chest I had missed. So, now might be a good time to move on to something else.
Been back on the Hogwarts Legacy train the last few days. I've fallen off the game twice, but after some time away from it, I picked back up where I left off. It's not gripping me like other open world and fantasy games, but it's alright.
Just going to push through with the main story when I next play it and see if anything else grabs my interest on the way.
I'm kind of sleepwalking through combat, enemy variety has peaked, I've long since reached max Wiggenweld potions as they just sit there unused. The spell sets are clunky as anything, and I wish I could just assign everything to the 4 slot and then toggle/scroll through each with everything available, instead of up, down, left, right to switch between 16, and still have to swap in and out the non combat tools, beast tools, and room of requirement type stuff.
My not so bad slytherin is going to end up learning and using curses out of frustration soon, I feel.

Got a good amount of time in with Tekken 8 today and as a longtime fan of the series, love it so far. Like with other games in the genre, it'll evolve over time, but barring any nonsensical changes, I think it's going to end up being one of my favorites in the series with 3, 5 and Tag 2.
Playing Alan Wake 2 but I'm about to drop it because it's just mind numbingly boring and a slog to play. The combat is horrible and the endless backtracking to find collectables is soul destroying. I honestly cannot understand how this game got anywhere near being nominated for GOTY

I've heard similar sentiments from other people as well. It's disappointing because I also love Alan Wake 1, have it in my top 10 favorite Xbox 360 games, but this one just seemed off from the start. I've watched some cutscenes and not very impressed where they took the story.
@LN78
What makes it even worse is how long the wait was. To be fair, I haven't played it, so it's possible the gameplay elements make up for the putrid narrative, but with all the games I want to get this year and a possibility of the next-gen Switch releasing this year, I want to save money where I can. If Alan Wake 2 hits Game Pass or PS Plus Essential I'll try it out.

I would have given it a try if it been on disc that way i could have traded it if it turned out as bad as some reviews have said, i am now going to give it a miss.
Played a bit of Tiny Tinas Wonderland. I'm enjoying quite a bit. It is for sure still more Borderlands, but the added spells and fantasy look makes it different enough for me. Also the D&D humor, while childish at times still makes me chuckle.
This is my latest purchase at £15.99 i couldn't resist, a member recommended it when i posted that i was not enjoying Robocop and its a much better game in my opinion.
@Max_Headroom
I also would've liked a disc copy, not a fan of the all-digital push going on.
It will be a sad day when they finally pull the plug on disc versions of consoles to stop people selling and trading games, how are kids supposed to find £50 - £70 for games.
@Max_Headroom My guess— the end of physical games will probably lead the industry toward an even greater bipolar (and I don’t mean the mental illness, rather just two extremes) fanbase, as far as how games are consumed. Those with means will afford to buy new games and those without will play F2P or service games that can be played for thousands of hours with only one purchase. Kids will likely be in that group they just has to play a lot of F2P. It’s already getting there now, but it will be more pronounced when physical ends.

@Jimmer-jammer I found my experience with Deathloop to only become more positive the more I ran it tbh. I pretty much hated it initially… disappointed that it wasn’t scratching that Dishonored itch but the more I played the better it became. And hey presto, by the time I was done, quite a few of those classic Arkane staples began to manifest… if you’re already intrigued, I think you’ll end up having a good time.
@Jimmer-jammer Haha! I thought I was the only one who falls asleep during games. 😄 It actually doesn’t happen very often, but every now and then it does. And like you say, it’s not necessarily during a game I don’t like. Often it’s the opposite — a game I want to forego sleep to play, but my body betrays me
