Play
Zelda Breath of the Wild. I always enjoyed this but I found out a bit overwhelming. It uses every button on the controller, everything in the game wears out - fast! Fights are often suddenly deadly. Returning to it now though, I'm absolutely hooked. I think it's because I know what to expect and how to approach it. I've payed better attention to the controls. I'm not working about equipment too much because I know there's always more lying around. I'm avoiding a lot of fights but I'm better prepared (with meal buffs) for the ones I can't avoid. Anyway I'll let you know how I get on, it's early days yet.

I bought The Messenger when someone mentioned it a week ago. It's good! I'm only one level in but I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Want
Clair Obscure, Metaphor, maybe Hyrule Warriors… But really I need to play the games I've got.

Bin
Celeste. At least, I'm done with it for now. I'll be back. Easily a contender for the best videogame I've ever played.

I'm glad to hear Sonic Mania is good as I found the cart somewhere but haven't actually tried it yet.

Actually, I haven't tried it so maybe it doesn't work and that why someone ditched it.

Getting caught up with MCU.

Captain America: BNW. I agree with everything Gar says above. It's fine, but a bit pointless. It doesn't really progress anything in the big plot.

IronHeart. There's some fun stuff in here and it's nice to have a small story about criminals in the MCU rather than another story about heroes. Could have done with more resolution and less set up though.

Thunderbolts. First half was a bit too dumb. Second half was actually pretty good. It's certainly not essential but it felt like a comic book and I like that.

I played one of the Nier games on 360, it did have a good enough soundtrack that this thread reminded me of it too.
