I was "done" with Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, but a day later the first patch dropped, so I gotta go back to it.

Death Must Die was my replacement for DRG, but the game is a bit boring, so I'll wait for more patches. It's basically Hades but Vampire Survivors. So far there are five characters in the game, but four are very similar. The different spells or upgrades are also not really too interesting and barely change the gameplay, so most runs feel the same. I hope further updates can improve the game.

Then, I started both Horizon: Forbidden West and Dragons Dogma 2 on PC, but right now I'll stick with DD2. The game is basically what I remember DD1 being, but with a fresh coat of paint, for better or worse. Back when I played the first game, I had a great time for like 70 hours, but by the end, I never wanted to see the game again (and never played the DLC). Even though it's been eight years since then, I still feel a bit burned out, so seemingly so few changes don't really help. I started out as the mage and just recently switched to the sorcerer, but imma be honest, it's pretty boring. I'll give it a bit longer, since I barely got any spells right now. The archer and thief look more fun, so I might give these a shot, if the giga wizard doesn't improve things. I also gotta say, the Pawns are some of the most annoying NPCs in any video game ever. They spew one of their dozen different voice lines every 20 seconds, which is just awesome. You can mute their audio, but then you might also miss useful callouts like when they find a chest or info about enemies. The subtitles for their lines would of course still clutter the screen though.
