What games are you playing currently?

I started playing FF7 Rebirth yesterday. I'm now about six hours into the game and I'm totally into it.
 
Star Trek: Legends on the Steam Deck. Not particularly deep, but it helps scratch my Trek itch.
 
Finished Like A Dragon: Ishin and enjoyed it although the ending was a little too nationalistic (japanese equivalent of a 4th of July speech) for my tastes, story wise it made sense. Overall a pretty damn good game/fun.

Re-playing Ghost of Tsushima and sadly I'm already into Act 3. Gah. Please oh please, video game gods I need one of Ghost 2, RDR3, or TES: VII to happen soon.
 
I got Like A Dragon Lost Judgement in s sale. No idea what it's like just picked something random

Those are the detective/lawyer ones. I think the stories in those are supposed to be pretty good but I haven't played either one of them yet. They're on my "to play" list.
 
Spider-Man (PS4) on the PS5.

Game holds up really well and is still a blast to play.
 
I just finished Disco Elysium last week. What a brilliant game. When it hits its stride, it's really great. Seeing the case come to its conclusion is satisfying.

OMG that makes me wish for my console back sometimes because it was really fun to zoom around the city as Spidey and it really was lots of fun.

I keep going back to this playing a little then dropping it. It just never grabs me. Same with Detroit Become Human, which is one of those games people seem to talk about, I did the first mission and started the next but haven't touched it in ages.

Admittedly, it's one of those games that need the right moment for it to click. I tried twice, the two previous times not having a great computer, and it kept crashing and it became a mood killer. This time around though, I ended up having a great time with it as everything about it clicked. I think maybe what helped was selecting a sensitive character. I don't know if that makes a whole lot of difference, but I also ended up avoiding death. The first few hours with it are probably some of the most difficult, as almost anything can set you off, but after you get out of your funk via the wild night the character has, it opens up into a much more straightforward kind of game where you interview different characters.

They did a remaster for PS5. Well, actually, when they released it on PC they did an Ultimate Edition/Remaster so they took a lot of that work and used it on the PS5 version. I never realized how poor* the original PS4 version looked in comparison because the first time I played it was on PC and later on PS5.

*I say poor in comparison but it's not like it ever looked bad. Just that the remastered/PS5 and PC look a ton better and I agree that Spider-Man is an absolute blast to play. The newest one has one of the most amazing fast travel systems I've ever seen in any game but when reviewers were talking it up, I wondered why on Earth anyone would care because just swinging around town is so much fun. I'm glad I tried it out though because what they did with it is kinda mind blowing. Still, the various ways of getting around town in both Spider Man games and Miles Morales are half the fun.

Also as far as PS4 era games and a few earlier ones.... I've noticed that with games that Sony has a direct hand in like Spider-Man, the Horizon series, God of War etc. the PS5 versions look incredible. I'm replaying Ghost of Tsushima right now and although it was originally released at the end of the PS4's life cycle, it's hard to believe it was ever a PS4 game.

Can you compare Disco Elysium with Detroit become human? Because I love Detroit become human, especially the detective work

Got the upgrade based on this recommendation! Downloading now. :techman:

While I've never played Detroit: Becoming Human, Disco Elysium feels more like a classic point-n-click at heart, but with added experience points and stats. It's entirely dialogue-driven, with different clothing items affecting your stats and ability to open up different dialogue options. If you like a big thick mystery to sink your teeth into, this one delivers, full of twist and turns. The writing necessary to pull off the mystery was quite good as well.
 
Finished FFVII: Rebirth yesterday, clocked up just over 90 hours. Absolutely loved it for the most part. Sadly, have issues with the final chapter, but hey-ho....

Amazing soundtrack throughout. Great world design. Characters are even more fleshed out than the original, and the VAing is once again on point.
 
Finished Sable on the PS5 last night. Beautiful game with an emphasis on exploration. Was a bit underwhelmed with the ending though.
