What games are you playing currently?

Just started playing Star Birds.
It’s made in collaboration with the Kurzgesagt animation studio and uses their signature art style. It’s an asteroid-mining resource-management game about a civilization of spacefaring birds. Simple, relaxing, and adorable.
 
Got Mario Kart Wii Deluxe X running. Been playing it all day. Utterly insane. And amazed at how high quality the many, many, many, many tracks are. Only a couple of fucky bullshit ones. The vast majority of the 752 could pass for Nintendo's work.
 
Gave up on The Westerner and right at the final battle too, as I couldn't figure it out. The whole game is full of stuff like this, but this one took the cake. The scenario is a shootout between the villains of the game, and the allies, and this being a point and click adventure, it's a puzzle of course, rather than an actual shootout, and you have to do things via a certain order in order to progress via having control of your allies with different weapons when you click on their icon. But the UI is terrible at communicating what's actually going on. Initially I was seeing a couple of guys moving on the screen and was starting to shoot at them with the main character, but I couldn't tell if anything I was doing was effective. Same with any of the other characters. I'm not trying to be obtuse, but I think this is a perfect example of why a bad UI can sink a game, and in this particular case, it's a lack of feedback to what's going on.

In other news, I've just started playing Secrets of Grindea. It's a fun Zelda-like Action-RPG that has quite a bit of depth to it.

 
I have both of the Tomb Raider remasters sitting in my steam wishliist but am still undecided about them.

Has anyone here played them? What were your impressions and thoughts both good and bad?
