Just picked these up today, in preparation for next week's cards arrival. Great deals on Hellblade, Gears 5, Vampyr and Mass Effect: Andromeda Deluxe Edition ($9.99 each). I could have gotten Cyberpunk 2077 for $40 through cdkeys, but I didn’t want to deal with another store game-launcher (GOG).

Mass Effect: Andromeda is very underrated imo. With all the patches, it runs well. No it's not as good and deep as the main trilogy, yes some content is cut, but I had a lot of fun doing it anyway. And it's a beautiful game.
 
Started Front Mission 3 again.
Been very long time from the last attempt which ended In some city and frustration.

Really like the structure of the game, talking bits, internet etc.
Clear seperation of combat areas and rest of the game, IMHO something that is sorely missed in many modern games which try to cram everything in same view. (usually causing a lot of extra work for devs.)

It is really shame that FR4 or 5 didn't come to Europe.

Cyberpunk 2077 since it launched. So far I raked up 168h in this game, unlocked 5 endings and carried out with the game after The Sun ending. I was convinced I've done everything, cleared the map and wanted only to have fun and buy remaining cars I was missing. Turns out I was wrong! There are whole missions and long character interactions I've missed + mass of secrets.

I've done Kerry's full story now, had a chat with Monks I've saved, found free car, met MaxTac girl from trailers and more. All that after "finishing" this game :)

PS. Thinking about starting RDR2 after CP2077.
 
I bought a switch when the Zelda game launched - didn't like it, never touched it again.

During Xmas, I fell in love with Hades - great little game. Very fun and rewarding. The only rogue-lite I can stomache. I even finished that one.

And then I realized yesterday, that a demo for the new Monster Hunter game on switch was released - nice!

I still get hand-cramps when using the switch for more than 10min (stupid hardware for tiny kids hand)...but MH Rise demo is awesome and I shake my hands every couple of minutes to keep playing :D

I had the same issue, the ergonomics of the unit are just terrible. I bought this bolt on grip accessory for the system and I'm very happy with my purchase, only downsize is that you have to remove it when you put the unit into the dock, but the grip slides in and out of the unit easily enough.

 
I'm on Act 3.2 of Gears Tactics on Experienced difficulty without having any Gear downed. Loving the game.

I'm looking forward to The Medium on the 28th and might spend some time in Forza Horizon 4 and Ori WotW while I'm waiting.
 
I really need to finish Gears 5 & Ori 2. After finishing Jedi Fallen Order I have been playing lots of co-op in Deep Rock Galactic. Then took a break to do some co-op in Horizon 4. Last Holiday sale I finally gave up waiting for Rise of the Tomb Raider to hit Game Pass again & bought the 20th Anniversary Edition for $6. Now I have to find time to work on that too. :/

Mopping up the last few collectables in Valhalla. Just platinum'd man eater and have fallen back into fallout 4. And still hitting Warframe in between.
With the 60fps PS5 Skyrim mod, I bough Skyrim again (PS3, Steam, PS4/PS5) in the PSN sale, loaded it up with my standard mod load-out and set off to play it at 4K 60fps on console.

Stealth archer here I inevitably come again. I am definitely going to tone down stealth and archery and pivot into some thievery and backstabbing this time though.

:D Skyrim, I bought that on PS3, PS4, PSVR, and then the Switch. It's like the game equivalent of herpes. Once you've got it, you can't get rid of it...
 
Its a blast i remember playing it at 4k 60 (and other mods) on my 980 at the time.
8k 60 with about every graphic enhancing mod avialable. Theres many mods for this game that elevate the settings, not just the resolution and framerates.

8k textures, total raw size is about 1TB!. Even ray tracing made it to this version.

Yeah, it's a sad thing that I've just blown ~£3k on a new PC (first none work one in years) and Skyrim will probably be the first game I play on it :D

Try the above mod (s) in the youtube link, its one of the most extreme ones i have tried. The biggest problem is the need for a 1TB SSD to be able to stream the world with its 8k and 4k textures. Im not playing at 8k (dont have an 8k tv) but 4k, way above 60fps. Its a old game in its roots (and it shows in some places and characters), but with all those mods, dynamic volumitric lighting and ray tracing this one still holds up. And, its all free if you bought the game many moons ago.
