Playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, did lots of side missions (green ones) that I had started before but hadn't finished. Still have quite a few of them left though.

It's nice to see how the city evolves with our actions.

Also started Chapter 11, want to say some spoilery stuff about that, but want to finish the chapter first see how they deal with it.

Chapter 11 storybut if they redeemed you-know-who without giving a VERY solid reason, I am going to be very annoyed by the story.

I am still annoyed how Murderess joins our team after how she behaved, instead of getting any kind of punishment.

Chapter 11 brings you to skell-less fighting, and since I was used to beating everyone in few seconds, it feels so slow to kill people without skell now. And there are tons of enemies to fight there, so thinking about loading my previous save and leveling up a bit more before coming back to it.

Also played more Marvel's Midnight Suns and Ghost of Tsushima, but nothing new to add about either of them.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

I've started playing Rematch, a new small-sided PvP football game where you control one player on your 3v3/4v4/5v5 team (it's all players, no AI). It seems like something that could run on the Switch 2 in the future, but for now I am playing on PC.

Cool! It's by the devs of Sifu. I was keeping an eye on it until I found that it multiplayer only.

May still give it a try if all friends want to get it but seems less likely.

How are liking it?

It's very fun. I have played football all my life and always wanted a game like this to play virtually with other people at home. A couple of years ago I had to give up the sport due to a bad knee injury, so to be able to play again albeit in an arcadey video game is so satisfying.

It's probably not as fun for people who aren't football fans or players, as I think a lot of the enjoyment comes from aspects that are unique to the sport rather than traditional video game elements. A good comparison is the Camelot Mario sports games on the N64. They weren't hardcore simulations or anything, but were still focused largely on the core principles of the sport, as opposed to newer Mario sports games or the Mario Strikers series which are very silly and not really designed for sports lovers.

I am not a hardcore football fan, but have played a bit here and there, also used to play Fifa a lot in my younger days. Haven't played it much recently, but I did try FC24, since they gave it away in PS+ monthly games.
