Really fun and immersive once it got going. It actually reminded me a lot of RDR2, in that the game is meant to be in a miserable setting that the character is struggling to survive in and that gets passed on to you as the player. I wish there was a new game + mode or continued game play after the ending, as I really wanted to go back and finish a lot of stuff that I missed, but didn't want to restart or load an old save. Will probably have to go back and load my save before the ending so I can complete the rest of the game.
As well I actually found that each update seemed to "fix" many issues but also opened up new issues that didn't exist before (on XSX). I never really felt like the patches improved my gameplay experience all that much other than shuffling the glitches around. Probably had the most main missions not allowing me to proceed due to glitches that I've had in any game I've ever played and seems most players have the same problems. Still, they get a pass due to the situation of even finishing the game in the first place given the circumstances.
Indiana Jones is pretty fun too, although maybe it's just me but I am not as hyped about it as others. Probably going from a frantic game like Stalker to IJ is a big contrast. Great environments and story, but maybe cause I'm only on level 2 at the pyramids that I haven't seen the best yet? Fun game, just not as amazing as I've heard others say.
Also bought the recent RE4 remake. Following Capcom's brilliance at the other remakes, this one doesn't not disappoint.

I stopped keeping track of my death count after 300. It's a really difficult game that only gets easier at the very end when you are finally able to get your hands on the best guns and armor.

The voice acting in the game is pretty impressive, even the most mundane NPC don't sound like NPCs.

I can see a lot of casual games not getting past the first few hours of the game as this game takes a long time to get going as it's much more real life sim than the typical open world RPG. I'm enjoying it now that I'm getting the hang of things but the learning curves are really steep. I basically started my own little alchemy business spending a lot of time making potions just to sell for money to repair my crappy armor and feed myself.
