You probably played RE5, which had co-op. No co-op in 4. 5 was fun, but not legendary like 4

I watched a no-talk play through of PT last night. That was such a dope premise. It just keeps repeating but with more sense of dread each time. Crazy that never got released, they absolutely nailed making you feel an ever increasing sense of dread.
My play through of RE7 has hit the point of having to resort to running back to save after every minor advancement. The lack of health throughout the house, and it restarting from the last save after dying, has made it a bit of a grind. The best way to advance is just to save grind. Unlock a door, run back and save. Kill one minor baddie, run back and save. My current task is to get the shotgun, so I’m hoping once I get that, I’ll have more flexibility to not feel like I have to panic save just because my health isn’t 100% full. (Since it virtually impossible to not take big damage fighting shit with a knife or pistol, which you never have enough ammo for lol)
My son has resorted to making sure we stop playing early enough so that he can watch something pleasant before bed.
I don’t find it scary as much as tense, but I’m battle worn to this stuff more than the young dude. lol

Do they have a remake of that on Xbox? If so I might round back to it after I beat 7.
I was actually surprised 7 was available on Xbox. I’m so conditioned from the old days where RE was a PS franchise. Seems like 3rd parties have stopped doing the exclusive thing, which is great.
I believe it is on Xbox as well

Arc Raiders.
This is probably the most paranoid game I've played.
There's roving robots and drones out to get you, but at least you know where you stand with them.
It's the unpredictable human element that has me on edge. I don't know if anyone I'm approaching is going to be friendly or hostile. Will they help me extract goods, or turn on me at the last second.
My last encounter I heard gunfire and approached cautiously. I found two guys shooting at each other across a ravine. I came up behind the nearest one and said, this game has proximity chat by the way, "I'll help you take that guy out." I circled the ravine and flanked the guy. One hostile raider dead. And alliance formed with the other.
This game is quite brilliant. I've just moved from a lowly scavenger with rubbish gear, picking away at the outskirts, to going into the more dangerous areas for better loot.

Live performance of Expedition 33 music. Amazing stuff imo.

Anyone playing Outer Worlds 2 yet? It was a day one release on Game Pass, so I've put a few hours into it. Graphics and performance are very good. But it's weird - this is exactly the sort of game I'd have loved ~15 years ago, but now I find myself getting bored with all the text and the talking heads (and the frequently terrible acting.) Maybe I just don't have enough leisure time for a game with this sort of pacing anymore.

Outer Worlds 1 was okay. But yeah def feels like 2005-2010 Fallout style game that just doesn't hold up the same as it once did.

Okay it's been a minute since I posted here!
After I got 100% and beat Silksong I dabbled for a couple days on speedrunning to get those achievements but it's just too tricky. I need to grind the hard parts which means I need to buy and install the game and mods on my computer, and that's just too much.
Luckily, they released a sequel to an extremely chill game I put over 100 hours into this year somehow...Powerwash Simulator 2! It sounds silly but the first game was so chill I would just play for a couple hours a day to unwind after work.
So halfway through the game I update my Switch and I find out that the game lost nearly all my progress. So I start over again, get about 2/3 of the way through, manually save, update the Switch again, and it lost nearly all progress again. Turns out there's a massive bug in the game where it doesn't properly save files.
How the hell do you release a video game in 2025 where file saving doesn't work???
Yesterday I picked up "Harvestella" as it was on sale and we'll see if I get into it. It seems like a pretty chill RPG. Something to work through until the bugs all get worked out for PW2.
And then someday I'd like to play through Borderlands 4 once they finally fix and release the Switch 2 version.

Metroid Prime 4 previews are out and it's looking grim. Chatty sidekicks and that cheesy motorcycle. Not everything needs to be a shitty Marvel movie.
What's puzzling is that somehow Nintendo made an incredibly successful Zelda that was basically all about being isolated in a hostile world with almost no handholding, but for some reason Metroid has to turn into the complete opposite. I don't need some annoying idiot pointing out a save station to me.
Parts of it look great, though.

Super Metroid is a top 10 game all time for me but I don't think I played hardly anything after that. I did play Fusion for a couple hours last year.
Shame that Nintendo stuff almost never goes on sale. I'd like to try out some of the newer Metroid games.
