The last new release games I played were Horizon Forbidden West and Ghostwire Tokyo. I thoroughly enjoyed both.
But to be honest I'm actually not minding the pause in the onslaught of new releases. It's nice to have the time to take a deep breath, step back and give some time to games I would call a soft backlog. So many great games that deserve more time and attention.
Cyberpunk 2077. I don't give two shits about the hate. I played through the PS5 version and thoroughly enjoyed it, even though I'd finished the PS4 version previously.
Wreckfest. Despite having the plat on both the PS4 and PS5 versions, I'm back 100%ing the campaign, playing the tournaments and playing online. In my region, there is still enough online activity to keep it alive.
Persona 5 Strikers. I wasn't fully committed to this when I first played it, but now on the revisit, I'm totally enjoying it. I've just gone from Sapporo to Okinawa.
I've even been dabbling in PGA Tour 2K21, Wipeout Omega Collection and even WWE 2k Battlegrounds.
Then, what made me think to create this thread. Returnal. OMG - How good is this to come back to? I feel like I totally under-rated this one last year. I've suspended for the first time, and I'm worried about momentum and how you get "into the zone" with this game when I unsuspend. Phenomenal game.
Anyone else not minding the break? And what are you jumping into and enjoying that otherwise wouldn't have got a look in if the new release onslaught hadn't paused?
