If it takes you until Christmas to finish Last of Us it’s going to take you four years to finish RDR2
I never did finish Fallout New Vegas. Come to think of it, I didn't finish Arkham City yet either. Took me two years to finish Arkham Knight. Unfortunately I just don't get time to game. It really sucks.
... It actually might be. I mean it's arguably the best conceived, best written game of all time. Gameplay-wise, of course not, but it really depends on how you weigh certain factors. If we're talking entertainment value you get one list, if you're talking video games as an art medium you get another. This list is neither of course, because it's trying to be both at the same time, which is why these things never work.
A top 10 game of all time should be great at both

Ubisoft+ is coming to Xbox this year, separate from GamePass, no date released as of yet. As part of the announcement it looks like Rainbow Six Extraction will be available on GamePass day one January 20th.
Pretty decent month for GamePass with Mass Effect Legendary Edition (Via EAPlay, Ultimate) being added tomorrow.
I've been playing this, and it is so unique, weird, and fun.
It's presented as a sort of "found footage" horror card game, but is also an escape room puzzle, and then transitions into multiple other stages of gameplay and story.
Just really different from anything else I've played before.

Huh, the game was priced "too low" to qualify for the EPIC store coupon during the recent sale. The sale is over but the coupon still works right now (to end tonight/tomorrow?) and so now the discount applies!
EDIT: looks like it'll work once and no replenished.
So here's a challenge for CP's game players...I'm looking for a game to play - or maybe two...
Game for me: playable only on PC (no game console), single player, preferably not stupid-level violent, but blowing up ####/monsters/aliens sometimes is OK. The last game I played was Doom I, II and III, which probably tells you something, but I've been looking for something "interesting" and it doesn't need to be a FPS, could be RPG or whatever. Interesting and challenging is more the point. (I kinda liked AC's post above about Inscryption but I don't really get what a "card deck" game is.)
Game for my wife - and possibly teamed with me: definitely must be non-violent. The last game she played was Myst....so more in the "search and figure out" line would be good. I saw a thing for "Journey" - looked pleasant but I do see there's some violence.
So...anything that fits either of those bills?
If not I'll just spend ALL my retirement time building crap in the garage, baking breads of all kinds and cooking.

For the game for your wife and you I’d recommend The Witness. Similar to Myst it’s a first person game set on an island loaded with puzzles. Brilliant and challenging and great to play together (even if one person is controlling, the other can help with the puzzles and it’s quite fun, my wife and I played together this way). The less you know about it the better, it has some of the most fantastic environmental puzzles and a great twist. Highly critically acclaimed and a few years old now so should be able to get it cheap-ish.

Does Life is Strange have any significant violence in it?
As for you, see previous conversation: play Disco Elysium.

Descenders is on Xbox Game Pass / Game Pass for PC, so I played with a couple friends. It’s a pretty fun game, and the courses are all procedurally generated so you’ll always get a variation in your courses, keeping things interesting and unpredictable. Sort of a Skate 3 for downhill biking. My friends were on PC and I used my Series X. Cross-play worked flawlessly.
That didn’t stop me from absolutely eating sh-t on this particular level:
Note: The graphics on my video look messed up because they are. Uninstalling and reinstalling the game on Series X fixed it.

If you liked the original Doom games the new games, 2016's Doom and the new Doom Eternal ratchet things up pretty nicely. They are super gory and violent but it's just killing demons not people and demons are bad so maybe you are ok with that?

Wait what? No, there's no violence!
Journey is relatively short and a great game to get "non-gamers" started.
Then again I am biased, we've met a lot of the people that have made it and am friends with the composer (first person to be nominated for a Grammy in video games!)
