Super Mario 64: Render 96. If you tried this briefly in the past, try it again. It's much more than an HD pack and reskin. Setting it up is a right old ballache though.

It looks like it looked to me as a kid in 1997. And underneath it all, still the best videogame of all time. IMO. YMMV.

I may be finally installing Red Dead Redemption II, for X-Box One, next week.
Hope it's not too resource hungry?

Didn't really finish Hogwarts Legacy however. The duelling club and spell learning gets very frustrating.

Because it's spooky day, I decided to try the original Silent Hill on PS1. First time.

Holy shit control schemes have come a long way in 25 years. Also, this is just Twin Peaks with more blood.

The Outer Worlds 2 and Test Drive: Solar Crown.

OW2 is exactly as expected, rollicking good time from Obsidian. TD:SC? This is the dullest racing game I’ve ever played. Even at $22, it was too much.

Good to know, thank you. I'm still on the fence for OW2 due to the price, and yeah I'll avoid that racing game.

If you enjoyed the first one, you’ll likely enjoy this one. Though I understand waiting with the higher price tag down under.

It's only the pricing holding me back.

I am after an open world driving game that lets you go for hours without the need for competition that is fun and lets you goof off and not be too serious. Forza Horizon 5 looks good but that's against other people and really they don't do anything single player do they that would meet my needs?

IIRC, you can race against “Drivatars”, if you prefer. They are essentially data driven AI based on players play styles.

Though, unless you can get it cheap, I’d wait. Forza Horizon 6 is supposed to release sometime in 2026. Plus, some of the cars that released with 5 are apparently no longer available.

I might get horizon 5 as I got a refund from steam for American Truck Simulator so that refund will help pay for Horizon 5

Update: I did get Forza Horizon 5 and I'll have a crack at it later on in the month. I also got The Outer Worlds 2 and so far it feels familiar to the first game that came out. So far it's OK as well.
