Yakuza Kiwami 2 - 8/10
Being able to enter buildings without sitting through a loading screen is huge: it increases immersion like crazy. The inclusion of buildings that have multiple levels is great and allows the game to pack even more content into its small map. Graphics are insane, the lighting in Kamurocho is beautiful. Mini-games are more polished than before: little details like having the camera cut to Kiryuu walking up to the dart board to remove the darts before the next person takes their turn is great for immersion. Best mini-game of Cabaret Club makes a comeback: that alone raises the score by one.
Some weird, small stuff detracted from the experience: the biggest one that stands out to me is the tanky enemies that block hallways with their chairs. Gameplay is slowed to a crawl when you encounter them because you can't use heat actions on them. It turns into a game of hit and run as you walk up to hit them a couple times, run away before they attack, and repeat multiple times since they don't move from their spot.
Ori and the Blind Forest - 7/10
The art is beautiful, but I did find that some natural hazards weren't distinct enough from the environment (e.g. brown spikes blending in with brown floor) which resulted in me taking unnecessary damage or dying from them.
Music is great and the ups and downs are used perfectly. The piece used during escape scenes is magical.
The combat is extremely uninteresting and to be honest I probably would have enjoyed the game more if it was removed. Spamming fireball/ground slam isn't particularly fun and situations where you can yeet enemies into spikes to one shot them may speed the combat up but that isn't particularly fun either.
Just finished Control; it’s an absolute power trip taking place in an incredible setting. The impactful telekinetic abilities and ballistic gunplay come together beautifully, and the destructible concrete spaces that make up the game world serve as the perfect battleground.
My favourite aspect of Control is its setting: the Oldest House is an enigmatic, shifting labyrinth made up of oppressive brutalist architecture that has been converted in to a government office. Scattered throughout the Oldest House are documents, audio logs, and videos, all of which provide genuinely fascinating morsels of information and greatly contribute to Control’s worldbuilding.
Just finished FF7R and Nioh 2 order came through, my quarantine lit
that nioh looking real good

Resident Evil 3 and The Last of Us gonna replay Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask soon after tho
I just can’t get into Doom. The game looks beautiful and has great gameplay but I can’t find it fun. I get that it’s a classic but it’s just not intriguing.
