Assassin's Creed Shadows
Rolled credits at Level 55. Feel a bit burnt out to go for the platinum so I'll put this down for a bit and come back sometime later. Not as good as Origins, Odyssey, or Valhalla IMO. B-Tier.

Euro Truck Simulator 2
Delivered an excavator to Jönköping. After 102 days my Ziggurat Spedition trucking empire has 43 trucks.

Everything
Have reached the point where I'm just letting the game autoplay to mop up trophies so I guess I should move on. Interesting concept, average game. Could be more interesting in VR. B-Tier.

Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster
Have acquired the airship and am doing some side quests to level up prior to progressing the story.

Hollow Knight
Haven't picked this up in a few months so wandering around the Forgotten Crossroads to refamiliarise myself with the controls while grinding for geo to buy some more charms, mask shards, and vessel fragments. Bought the Gathering Swarm charm.

PowerWash Simulator VR
Doing the second job in the back yard. Only playing for 30 mins at a stretch so its going to take some time to work through this.

Assassin's Creed Shadows
I'm a bit of an AC stan but must admit I'm getting a bit fatigued with this game. I've platinumed both Odyssey and Valhalla so it's not like I hate the Ubisoft open world bloat, but this game is feeling very samey especially with the castles. I'll probably just mainline the golden path from here on.

Everything
I think I've seen just about everything the game has to offer and will probably move on soon.

Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster
I'm probably a third of the way through the game. It's a real step up from FF I-III in terms of narrative.

The Legend of Zelda
Doing the ninth and final dungeon and I'm getting frustrated by the difficulty spike and my lack of keys. I'm facing a choice to go back and find the magical key or just quit and call it a day. I'm leaning toward the latter as I'm only playing the game to become more familiar with Zelda history.

Just assassinated the second Onryo with Naoe and completed Amagasaki Castle. Currently level 9. I'm usually a massive AC fan but not feeling it with Shadows just yet. The inability to control the day/night cycle is also annoying AF.
