Vampire Survivors sucked me back in, it's doing exactly what Ball X Pit done for me. Vampire Crawlers, not as much, It's getting time to wonder why the fuck am I playing this, it's that basic. I'm getting the vibe of Car X street now after forcing myself to try and get it up and running and the drifting in the game is quite addicting, they should have just made it a complete drift game, that's what X drift was good at and just made it open world like this game, I can't see why one would wanna go lap racing in this game... even though, you kinda have to drift with the mechanics for turns.

All in all. My gaming is doing better than it has since I had the most unholy burn out of all burn outs ever. Gaming is like a medicine. It helps the mind and helps your ability to function and cope in the real world, of course as long as you don't over do it. I'm gonna try my best to not be over zealous with platinums. 

Spend thousand hours into Survivors but so far nothing into Crawlers. I kind of want to but I have so much to play... Soon also FF VII Rebirth releases..

Forza Horizon 6

Was not so interested in playing it because I felt 'here we go again' but they added enough new stuff that made me addicted again.

I will not complete it totally tho will just take a lot of time and I want to play other stuff.

Just beat Duriel with my Necromancer in Diablo 2 Resurrected.

Duriel isn't quite as horrible to face as he did in the past, but still the worst boss in Diablo 2 by far.

I take back what I said about Crawlers. It's no Survivors but it's still great and there is a point in the game when you do have to get tactical with cards, getting combos for max damage while also extending your hand and playing cards in certain orders to match the dungeon is really engaging now. I'd say it got good at 1 hour in but took about six hours before it started taking actual brain engagement. The fun started to fade with lack of challenge but then it surfaced again, now the game is back on track and it's both fun and provides just enough of brain power to be engaging even if it isn't exactly 4d chess. 

I'm replaying The Last of Us 2 new game+ and enjoying the exploration and the gameplay with all weapons maxxed.

I played Disney Afternoon Collection yesterday, specifically Chip & Dale (NES) and I am very surprised just how good that game still is. My first gaming experience was on an NES console at a friend's house and Chip & Dale was one of the games we played (alongside DuckTales, Adventure Island and Super Mario Bros. 1). The game holds up really well, even has some basic form of cutscenes and the music and gameplay are great. It's hard, though! We never made it past the first couple of stages as kids and I'm now experiencing content I've never seen before in this 35 year old game lol. Looking forward to Chip & Dale 2 and DuckTales 2, as well as some of the other titles in the collection.

I've also been enjoying Hogwarts Legacy for the past couple of weeks. Wanted it on a portable system but the Switch 1 version was too rough for my liking. So I bought it for Switch 2 last year. Played a few hours but then dropped it. Picked it back up again a couple of weeks ago and I'm in awe. It's like a childhood dream come true haha and my character (a Weasley girl) fits perfectly into the world of Hogwarts. Very much looking forward to Hogwarts Legacy 2 (hopefully) next year.

Overall, I enjoy this combination of one beefier title and one lighter and quicker game. Will probably be repeated later this month with a combination of Xenoblade X Switch 2 edition and Star Fox Remake. 

I'll have to run through TW3 for the new DLC. I wanted to anyway. Apologies in advance for when I get way to excited about it again. 

The Answer to the poll is 2026 but only if GTA 6 doesn't act like a blavk hole and all these SoP games get pushed into 2027. Regardless, the height of gen 9 are soon to be upon us. Not to say we aren't already in some good gaming, I'd even say we are climbing the wave of the gen as we speak. This gen is pretty damn good so far, I believe it'll be looked back on as one of the best.

There's a LOT more to Vampire Crawlers than I gave it credit for. It's probably more engaging that Survivors to be fair.
