Yup, more WRC23 and Aliens: Dark Descent. Aliens is pretty tough at the beginning, but at least you can pause the game when giving orders, I think you couldn't when it first came out. Medium difficulty is no joke. The game only autosaves and that's usually after a major objective is completed or right before a tough fight. You can also weld the doors in some rooms to make a shelter where you can lower stress levels and that will save the game as well, also by just riding in the elevator to a different floor triggers the save too. I'm only on the 2nd mission after 9 hours. This game can really piss me off sometimes but I just can't stay mad and retry in an hour or so, lol.

US store has been giving me errors for the last 90 minutes. Can't claim anything thru the app, the button that's either purchase or download is saying "Try again" for everything, even stuff I already own. Had to go thru the store on the console to claim, and that would give me an error the first time I try it, then work afterwards. Weird.
Ok. It's working now

Very happy with it, especially the loading times. Graphics have come so far its hard for me to notice improvements, mostly the smaller things stand out like water reflections, things like that. And the controller is amazing. Playing Wrc23 with one is like an arcade experience from back in the day.

Wasn't gonna get this til next week but after all the reviews, I ended up "restructuring" my finances and got it today. Just finished installing and I'm going to check it out in around 4 hours. I can't wait!!

Alien Isolation is worth playing if you haven't yet. It's long for a horror game but it's just so well done. Sound and environmental noises were top notch. When I got frustrated, I'd find some friendly survivors and bang my wrench against the wall a few times, then hide in a closet and watch the Alien tear some new holes. Also tossing a noisemaker at their feet and hiding while they wonder what's up. Oh, good stuff.

Fate Samurai Remnant (really good game) and struggling my way thru White Day on hard mode. Close to finishing up Star Ocean Divine Force, at 77% thru the main story but man, these back-to-back ship cutscenes are really boring, lol. I enjoyed it overall, couple minor complaints like not being able to open the map or scan for items when the party is chatting, which is all the time!
