Taking my time with this sucker, just exploring and chipping away. Beat the scorpion boss the last session, checking every nook and cranny in that region. Still don't get why several got their panties in a twist about difficulty, personally its as hard as your average From game.

Quest 3
Asgards Wrath
I put the PSVR 2 down to start wrapping my stagginating Rift library via PC streaming. Finished Lone Echo and Stormland last week, both were really good. Now this one, and yeah, absolute masterpiece. Inventory and quick selection really could do with refinement, but small compliants in a stunning RPG made for VR. On the 3rd Saga at the moment, look forward to getting back to it.

Checked out the dlc for a bit. Explored the first area, beat that fire ***** that roams the fields, then acted as a summon to help people trying to beat Moog at the dlc entry point. Just taking my time, enjoying new content for this, no need to rush.

PSVR 2
Vertigo 2
Awesome game, and a big step forward from the first title, which was solid but not as memorable. The imagination gone into design and levels is really admirable, just wish they would patch in DFR support to really do it justice.

Switch
Metroid Fusion
Having beat Super Metroid recently, I dived into this one. It's fine if slight, they took out a lot of the exploration and mystery for a more streamlined experience, which has pros and cons.

Re: Video: Is Concord Destined to Fail?

Overwatch 2 is on life support, the hero shooter had its time and place, so don't see this turning it around with Concord. Then again, a lot of people didn't think Helldivers 2 would succeed either, so let's wait and see.

I wish they would stop using their non-Gaas studios to do GaaS games. I don't have anything against the genre, but it will likely just get cancelled and waste a chunk of resources and time. It happened with Insomniac, Naughty Dog, FireSpirite and London Studio. Buy Arrowhead, and let them and Bungie make GaaS games and let everyone else do what they do best.
