Hearing that if you have the storage space aside for it, the version of FFXIV on Switch 2 is pretty good, really happy to hear it. The idea that someone is going to play that game on handheld in bed, through four free expansions sounds actually insanely good. Honestly, levelling up Miner and Leatherworker and the like on it in bed every night sounds VERY tempting.

Play

Halo Infinite (multiplayer) - Seeing as they didn't feel a Halo game needed multiplayer with Campaign Evolved I went back to old classics, thankfully this is a separate download and holy shit that is a great idea IMO, they should do that with the MCC! Anyway…why did I stop playing this again? Halo multiplayer might have the best gamefeel of any online FPS for me, it's just insanely satisfying.

Sadly my stick drift was so severe I couldn't even choose the mode I wanted, of which there are tons, without great difficulty (yet in an actual match it was fine?) so that needs to be fixed but I felt like a God every time I won a 1v1 and the guns as usual feel so satisfying. Maybe Halo 3 is still better, I'll have to check that out

Metal Gear Solid - when I have time, for some reason I was hungry for the cold, gritty atmosphere of Shadow Moses

Odin Sphere - Beat the Valkyrie story, on to a new character, Hard Modeg ets quite a bit more tough than it did on Muramasa, I'll try to adjust. Still a great game.

I need to give XCOM 2 another try, the timed missions were super stressful/hard.

Well looking at the internet the opinion seems divided to fairly negative, but I really enjoyed those 3 bonus missions this game comes with. Yes, the Covenant use of purple is absolutely hideous (issue in the main game too tbf), yes the Chief and Johnson dialogue is a 'bit' Marvel-ish, but I object to the issues people have with Chief talking 'too much' just because he does in the main game, he's not a mute.

…And yet, unlike the last half of the main game, you actually have fun combat against the Covenant, and the combat sandbox is fairly inorganic at times with the way they rain guns on you, but there's some good shootouts to be had here. Lots of two tiered, huge elaborate arenas that give you the tools to do what Halo does best and to repeat, not a single Flood in sight.

Guess I'm done, no way am I playing this version on Legendary any time soon

Halo 3 being my favourite and the least offensive game Flood wise is probably not a coincidence, though there is still that one mission with Cortana named after her that sucks iirc.
