Played through the first chapter in A Plague Tale Requiem. Looks amazing and plays pretty well despite being 30fps but I do have VRR and am playing on an LG CX OLED. Good opening chapter/prologue. Will continue playing tomorrow evening after work.

Started Gotham Knights and put in just over 4 hours. I have a few nitpicks but otherwise, game is actually really good. While not perfect, combat is better than I was expecting and the story/characters have been solid but im only 3 story missions in. Will be playing this on my days off from work while continuing Requiem at night for the days im working. Playing two games at the same time is something I haven't done in a very long time. I normally play one game at a time to completion.
Have to finish some Stray trophies, it was a little gem. 
I really want to get that but I just picked up Tales of Arise, so I am probably good for a while.
I played it too, back to back Legion.
I liked Watch Dogs a lot.

Greatly underrated and I take back my 7/10 score lol They do so many things well from the whole hiding in the car animation, to the hacks to stop the lights, to the AI to the hacking lore or the crazy shootouts where you can jump on a boat and escape or black out the city to kill a target or jump on the nearest train and pretend you were just some innocent person lol
The more I play this, the more I realize not only is Watchdogs better then CP2077, it has all the features CP2077 was trying to do themselves and works and connects to the entire world to tell a story. The narrative of whats going on directly effects gameplay stuff. Like in Act II where you start to hack people and if you hack people in that northern rich part of the city, they'll send hit squads out to you. The fact that its not just TALKING about some economical or racial difference, its literally directly effecting gameplay and you visually see those differences is amazing.
So the lore on the radio about the mayor and his contract with that tech company, directly has to do with missions with gangs in poor black neighborhoods and then you hear some rich bad guy say "thats why we permit Iraq to only sell it to his people" lol and then the gangs that have control over the ctOS for their own personal surveillance.
I only now realize playing this over again so many years later....people blew that downgrade thing out of proportion and Ubisoft thought deeply about how the narrative interacted with the lore, gameplay, areas in the city, what people said, what their incomes looked like, down to even gun stores only being in the poor neighborhoods. They were not only looking towards a future of what they thought America would look like, but a deeper understanding of what its currently already like. With so many conspiracies talking about Jeffery's island and human trafficking's, its funny that Watchdogs in 2014 has such a hard, raw and dark story regarding this, yet CP2077 seems to have missed that mark, at least on tone and content to reinforce those ideas.
All and all...I'm really, really happy I replayed this as I think differently about what this game did coming from what CP2077 didn't.
Still playing Bayonetta, but also got my copy of star ocean in. Just beat the second boss. So far it's been fun.
I am few hours into Dragon Quest XI S DE now on PS plus. First one and enjoying so far
