I’m saying “Poor.” It’s gotten to the point where I haven’t touched my PS5 since December…and that was to play The Last of Us: Part II Remastered lol. I’m not even slightly interested in my PS5 atm, and I’m not sure if I’ll even touch it again for another several years now that Switch 2 has dropped (and my free time has completely dissipated).

edit: my response is more so pertaining to the first-party output. Second- and third-party seems solid! So…in that respect, I’d give this gen a solid 6. (I kinda screwed this response up lol. Oops.) Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3, Astro, Expedition 33, FFVIIRebirth, Stellar Blade, etc., are all very good (from what I’ve heard) games.

Out of curiosity what games have you played since December?

Like in general? There’s a forum on here by Legit that has all the games I’ve played this year, with specific dates and such. However, just going off memory, I played Portal 1 (NS) and Stellar Blade (PS5…forgot i played that lol) during January for one week, then DKC Returns HD (NS), DKC Tropical Freeze (NS), DKC OG (SNES), and Super Paper Mario (Wii) (but i got bored and dropped the game). It’s been quite busy on my end this year, so it’s more that I haven’t had much time to play games…so my lack of PlayStation playtime is a consequence of (a.) im busy, and (b.) there hasn’t been any 1st-party heavy hitters (i don’t tend to touch third-party all too much…not sure why.). There’s also Mario Kart World (NS2) which is my most played game of the year so far.
