Let's see...
Fire Emblem Echoes - Act 4, I just finished up slogging Celica's team through the swamp. That was really a low point in terms of map design. I'm still really enjoying myself, and Mila's Turnwheel is a great addition.
Kirby's Epic Yarn - The last physical Wii game I need to beat before I can pack those away, so I started it. It's so relaxing, I really enjoy the cute style and the calm music.
Terra Battle 2 - My current "I'm bored and don't have access to anything else" game. It's interesting.
I'm planning on buying that Switch Picross game when it comes out, so I'll be playing that next week.

Evil Within: Going for a third play-through before the sequel hits, this time on PC
The port isn't too great. Even after I fixed the stuttering by removing the FPS lock, I'm still getting some nasty drops to the 30-40s when I my PC should be cruising through without a hitch.
As for the game, I'm still fascinated by it. For everything great about, there are two frustrating decisions that come close to undermining my enjoyment. But still, it's such a unique blend of horror and action that I find myself walking away with a positive verdict.
Wolfenstein - The New Order: Another replay before next game arrives
Man, that last iteration of idtech sure was junk.
Here's another game that gave me trouble on PC, mostly due to its ridiculous 60 FPS cap.
Thankfully, I was able to use idTweaker and remove the cap without an issue.
There's still so much to love about TNO. The level design, the length, the strong writing that's backed by an A+ voice cast, and, of course, the sweet, sweet gore.
Whenever I replay it though, I'm always disappointed in how weak the guns sound. The sight of Nazis being reduced to a bloody mush via akimbo assault rifles should be backed by roaring audio. Instead, the firearms here give off the sonic satisfaction of a pea shooter.
Even with that glaring flaw, I'd still place it near the top of this gens best shooters.

Finished Dishonored Death of the Outsider and Red Dead Redemption this week.
I'm about 12 hours into Final Fantasy 9 and still playing Destiny 2.
Also debating what game I should replay alongside those 2 and its between Dragon Age Origins and Oblivion.

How does it hold up?
The Witcher 3: Blood & Wine (PC) -- Took a loooong break from TW3, but am back at it. Spent two sessions finishing a quest only to find out that it was just a sidequest. LOL This game spoils you that way, in that sidequests are as good as (if not better than in some cases) the main quest. Not sure how far into it I am, but I'm having a great time.
Steamworld Heist (PC) -- Just finished the first world, and wow, this game is so good! Really polished, great atmosphere, excellent visuals and music, and I like the mix of turn-based strategy with the easy-to-mess-up-if-you're-careless aiming. Had no idea what to expect, and I didn't touch this one for a long time because I don't like tactical strategy games, but after Mario + Rabbids, I think this was the perfect follow-up.
Metroid: Samus Returns (3DS) -- I think I'm about halfway through this, and I'm having a great time. It's interesting how quickly you get power-ups at a certain point in the game, but with each one, memories trigger in your brain about all the areas where you can now use them. The 360-degree aiming is terrific, and while a lot of folks are complaining that this isn't on Switch, I think the dual-screen setup works wonders for this, as it did in WWHD on Wii U and the DS Castlevania titles. It's nice not having to pause the game all the time to do various actions or look at a map.

3DS: Just Beat Pokemon Sun again and have started Pokemon Gold but I may put that on hold until later as apparently you can't transfer the Pokemon to Pokemon Bank until Ultra Sun and Moon come out.
PS4: Have been LTTP on Uncharted so I've gotten through the first two games and am currently playing the Third. Not going to lie, I really hate the shooting gallery sections but the set pieces in the second game were really something special.
Vita: Started Root Letter very slow start with a script that feels like it was translated literally so it comes off as really dull. May put this one on hold as DanganRonpa V3 and VA11 Hall-A come out next week.
GC: I have been playing Kirby's Air Ride off-and-on for the past couple weeks; just City Trial.
iOS: Kingdom Hearts X. They've removed their energy bar for the next week so I am just powering through the story mode.

I just finished Persona 5 after a hundred hours so I'm going to make a start on Metroid: Samus Returns now. I feel free but empty at the same time.

Resident evil revelations 1 on PS4. I've got the campaign finished to completion--currently playing LOTS of raid mode and having a blast. Leveling up your character like an RPG the more you play is very rewarding.
i am setsuna on switch.
im really into this game. good or bad its a classic style rpg. i dig the story a lot so far.
im also going to try and beat the main boss on Quest of Dungeons. i got to him and died after an hour and a half run and i barely died...i mean a sliver of health. im bitter about it.
maaaaaybe dragon ball z xenoverse 2. maybe

PUBG when my friends want to, Divinity 2 otherwise. I also got Uncharted Lost Legacy yesterday and put a couple of hours into it but I'm not feeling it like the fully fledged games, I'll go back to it once I'm done with Divinity 2.
Last game I beat was The Witcher 3. I was going to do Blood & Wine immediately after, but I got the bad ending and was pissed about it so it's on the shelf for now.
About to beat Planescape Torment EE this weekend.
And I think I'm like halfway through Valkyria Chronicles, but I'm not often in the mood to play it.

Sorry for the late reply, but other than the music bug it holds up really well.
