Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is 67% off on Steam, though not sure if I want to buy it or just subscribe to Ubisoft+ for a few months to play that and the Star Wars game.

It was always advertised as a short standalone game. That's why it was cheaper than a regular game at launch.

I got it at launch with my PS5 and knew it wasn't going to be as long.

Finally gave Dying Light 2 a go recently as I remember enjoying 1 but… does it get fun or something? I shut it down and deleted it after 3 hours.

Story seemed silly. Voice acting and dialogue was nonsensical. Game play felt 15 years old.

Every once in a while I just hate a game with all my heart right out of the gate.

I finished Dying Light 2, I enjoyed it. I'm a sucker for almost anything open world though.
If I recall it starts out in the boonies but once you get to a city it gets somewhat better, though I don't think it changes so much that you'd suddenly like it.

Dying Light 1 was awesome. Loved that game. I seem to recall it was also one of the very first FPS games where the character could grab a ledge and pull himself up. Groundbreaking stuff lol.

Into the Restless Ruins is a neat rogue like deck game that has a free demo on the Steam event going on.

I'm giving the Mecha BREAK demo a try. It's a new take on the hero shooter, and the mechs are a lot of fun. It plays slower than I'm used to for a shooter, but is challenging. The demo aspects of it are amusing, too. The voices are all out of whack as they work to finalize them. One character has 5 voices and 3 accents. They are also throwing a lot of things at you that they'll likely monetize and/or slow access to on launch.


I don't know what sort of legs it'll have, but it's currently a neat play

I also like games with a good mix of mindless side quests and filler to go with a fun main story. Sometimes I want to jump into a game and be able to decide whether I want to tackle an actual mission or just grind away in the environment for an hour.
On a side note, have they set a release date for Ghost of Yotei yet? I know it's just "2025".

I wonder how tight they'll release it after Assassin's Creed: Shadows; the other release I'm excited for this year. My 2025 video game experience is basically feudal Japan all year, will be interesting to see the similarities / differences between them.

I would guess mid/late summer but I haven’t seen anything confirming more than 2025 either.

I’m also excited for AC. I can see why they’d want to time Ghost pretty carefully though. I know by the time I’m done AC I’ll be pretty burnt on the whole ronin/samurai thing so I’ll want something else first, but if it’s too far out and GTA 6 or Death Stranding 2 come out beforehand I’ll end up doing those back to back. Might not actually get to Ghost 2 until 2026.

It's really fun and very addicting.
Oh my goodness, this game is killing my productivity. I picked it up on my phone on the weekend and can't put it down.

I was going to get it on Fanatical but decided to wait and see what this month's Humble Bundle would be. Went and checked today and both editions are sold out.
