Maybe it's because I'm playing RE3R at the same time which is a crushing disappointment, so it looks better by contrast, but NFS Unbound is much better than I was expecting.

A couple weeks ago I picked up The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, and this weekend I finally started it up with the first half of the bundle, GAA: Adventures. It's been a long time since I've played any of the games in the series, but I had played all of them up until this one and generally enjoyed them a great deal.
I don't know what the hell they did with this game though, but it's killing me. These have always been slower-paced games that required a little thinking, but they have slowed this one down to a damn crawl. At first I thought I was just a little impatient after playing Yakuza 0, which throws a million things at you at a minute. But I'm in the second chapter and they're still throwing tutorials at me, and they bury them under a ton of dialogue. This latest literally took 15 minutes to get through, and it's virtually the same investigation and set up scenario that you've already been through a half dozen times in this game, not to mention it's been the core of the entire series for almost 20 years.
Anyway, I think I'm done with it. Maybe it gets better, but slow pace aside, it feels way too similar to the games that have come before it. Even after taking a break from the series for almost 10 years, everything about the game feels stale... except perhaps the inclusion of a surprising amount of casually racist jokes, which I have to admit I've laughed at probably more than anything else in the game.
It’s been all Final Fantasy XVI for me this weekend. Am loving this game. Combat is a whole lot of fun, story has me intrigued, and the characters are quite well done. Dialog and voice acting are both great.

It had better be.

Beat Battlefield Bad Company. Now playing Crysis 2 for the first time (on PS3). Not bad. It's set in 2023. So far pretty spot on.

This morning I picked up a copy of Sonic Colors Remastered for (PS4), which I intend to start playing later today. I never played it before.

I've been in a Zelda mood so I am playing Link's Awakening on theSwitch since I never finished it.
I still need to return and finish that as well. Was quite enjoying it too.
Me too
Colors was great. Definitely my favorite 3-D Sonic game.
Been Diabloing this weekend. Beat my first temple in Tears and been trying to progress in HollowKnight after being stuck for a week or so.
