Given that it's just gone up on PS+, maybe I'll stick my head in; I've never been a big Elder Scrolls fan, though, and ESO didn't click with me at all the couple of times I tried it before.

Alien Earth definitely needed a bit more time in the oven, but I think it pulled together enough by the end that I'll be watching a second season.

LttP, but sort of agreed - I don't think the show was ever as clever or interesting as it seemed to think it was, but as it was ending, I realised it had kinda gotten its hooks into me.

The book looks gorgeous, the setting is interesting (the Peasants' Revolt - historical and timely!), and the mechanics sound pretty straightforward, so I backed Gallows Corner. By the time you read this, the campaign has probably ended (20 hours to go!), but if not, check it out!

I really need to lay off the Kickstarters for a while, though, and keep some spendin' money for UKGE later in the year…

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - this is a very odd game, isn't it? I mean in many ways it is quite brilliant, and it's absolutely stuffed full of content, and all of it's really good, and the characters are superb, and the combat system is much improved. But it has - thirty hours in - absolutely zero narrative drive. I was following Sephiroth at the start of the game, and I'm still following him now, and I'm none the wiser as to why I'm doing that or why the focus of the game shifted from battling Shinra to taking this dude down. Maybe I've missed something, but as I'm meandering around the world at my own pace playing card games and chasing Moogles, it's hard to see where the threat really lies.

That lack of peril was a big issue I had with it, too. I don't remember it ever really getting better, and even by the end of the game, I don't really know what Sephiroth's Big Plan actually is…

Play
Gods help me, still World of Warcraft. I made the mistake of trying out Retail, and had what I can only describe as an "old man yells at cloud" moment - everything's different and I don't like it. Perhaps the mistake was trying to play a class I had only just gotten the hang of in MoP Classic, but I started a fresh toon with a class I hadn't played before, and seem to be getting along a bit better. Not sure on the new flying yet, though - you have to pay attention, which seems to defeat the point of solo WoW a little bit.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite. Had this on PS+ for aaaaages, and finally tried it out. It's pretty fun, though it partly makes me wish I was just playing Helldivers II again?

Want
To play Helldivers II again.

Preadator Badlands - Dan Trachtenberg's gone 2 for 2 on Preadator movies. Doesn't just attempt to replicate Prey, does some interesting character work (with a Predator!?), and knows exactly how seriously to take the - frankly bonkers - material. I had a lot of fun, and it's shot right into the top 3 of my List of Movies Featuring a Predator.
