Odyssey is so much fun. Hadn't played an AC game since AC:3. But I never finished that game because it had some seriously frustrating flaws. Odyssey is so much better in every way. And it's ****ing huge. If you spent the time doing every side mission and exploring every location, it would take forever. The combat is lots of fun. The sailing is a blast. Straight up pirate mode where you're ramming/shooting other ships to damage them enough to board them and kill everyone and plunder their cargo. Your crew is singing pirate songs while you're cruising the seas, whales jumping in front of the ship, etc. You upgrade your boat/weapons/crew to fight bigger ships. The normal weapons modding/building/upgrading system is fun too.

This game is a blast guys. Never thought I'd enjoy it this much. It's worth it just for the exploration itself, just to see some of the cool Greek sites. And like Breath of the Wild, you can pretty much go anywhere in the map and approach quests however you like, taking full advantage of the atmosphere.

Highly recommend.

Origins is superior in most every way. If you love Odyssey, you'll enjoy Origins.

I picked up Spider-Man on sale.

I really missed web swinging through the city ala the classic Spider-Man 2.

I'm a bit concerned though. When I load up the game it says it's 48% complete but basically nothing has happened in the main storyline.

On paper I should have loved Spider-Man. It was really solid on a lot aspects.. but I didn't love it.

Halo MC Collection and Halo Reach out today on Steam. I know what I'm doing this weekend!

I picked up Ace Combat 7...waiting to try this thing out in VR....

They're only releasing the Master Chief Collection in installments, first with Reach. Played the first three levels last night, good nostalgia factor.

Darksiders Genesis comes out tomorrow and has been getting good reviews from critics. Top down, diablo-esque this time around instead of third person behind the back. Enjoyed all three in one way or another so I'll pick this one up to continue the story.

get a pc and oculus or sumthin

Got into Rust again with my buddies, **** i forgot how brutal this game can be. lol. Fun though.

Finished The Outer Worlds. Really enjoyed it. It really was the Fallout game we've been wanting since New Vegas.

I've been playing Squad. It has been out for a few years although they still consider themselves in beta, but I came across a content creator called Karmakut randomly on youtube and started watching his videos and then got hooked on them and bought the game. Pretty fun, but hard to get up to speed to do very well in it.

I had one match where Karmakut ended up playing in it as well, but was on the other side. Hoping I find a video of it to try to find my name in the ending scorecard. We beat his side, and I was too busy trying to see how he did in the match to catch how I did.

edit: I know I did terribad in the match compared to him. He typically gets 20-30 kills in a match or more, my max so far is 5 :)

Wow they copied the formula from the best Mech game ever Mech Warrior one with it's then 16 color graphics.
