What are you currently playing?

The past week, I have played:

Red Dead Redemption II
Saviorless
Tekken 8
Helldivers 2

It's been 90% RDR2. I first played it a couple years ago, but decided to hold off on it after just a couple sessions. GameInformer's GOAT game bracket motivated me to hop back on RDR2 and finish and I am addicted. Tekken is slightly on the backburner since its recent patch that breaks parts of the game. Helldivers is essentially my "hang out" game whenever friends or family want to play something. Saviorless released yesterday. It's a puzzle platformer I've had wishlisted for 3+ years and yesterday's release was a surprise to me. They only announced the release date a week ago.

I'm finishing FF VII Remake in Hard mode, I'm at the last chapter.

As a game, I think RDR2 can be off-putting to a lot of players, but I think it might be the best story I've ever experienced in a game. Feels like a prestige television series . . . except less pointlessly "mature".

Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

This game is reeaally relaxing.

There's just a lot to it, mechanically with so many inputs and systems to keep track of. Not a game to play "on the side", imo, which is what I was originally trying to do. As I get deeper into it, I definitely dislike the Wanted system (a couple times it just seems nonsensical and broken) and I wish autoaim on controller was a tad better better, especially on horseback. I'm swapping between controller and kb/m as I play, but horseback is the hardest to transition around to, aim, etc.

I'm definitely eager to continue the story. It's nothing even profound yet (I'm still in Chapter 2), but I'm still drawn into it and aware of its reputation. There is still great dialog and story beats as expected , but I'm anticipating when things really heat up. And I've already have a few analysis videos lined up to watch once I finish the game lol. I loved RDRed1's story, too. It had some of my favorite narrative moments/experiences in video games. I wish I remembered more about Revolver's story, which I'm sure wasn't anything special anyway.

I don't know that I would call it profound, just a very well-crafted story.

It also benefits from the state of the technology. A lot is conveyed through facial expressions and body language.
