Played the Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap.
It's a fun little Indie 2D Metroidvania / Platformer Game. 
+ You unlock different characters with different powers while playing the game.
+ Really beautiful Art Style. Looks like a colorful stylized comic book.
+ Able to buy better gear.
+ A small bit of Exploration & Backtracking.
+ You can switch the Visuals & Music on the go between the 1989 8-bit Original and the 2017 Remake.
- Mario-like movement.
- Short.
Overall I liked it.
Tip:

  Reveal hidden contents

After getting Mouse-Man buy the Tasmanian Sword from a hidden Shop near the end of The Underground area.
The Tasmanian Sword allows you to switch between characters instantly, without needing a transformation room.

Yes, it's an excellent game - a shame the follow up Monster Boy game isn't as fun (from playing a demo)...

This is so weird... a lot of the dialogue in the RE8 cutscenes clip. Sounds terrible.

And now they have Ethan's baby's head on Chris Redfield's body WTF

[usagi]

if that bothers you, wait til someone mods Lady D to have a 15 inch throbbing veiny dong and she just runs around the castle screwing everyone. I guarantee someone somewhere is working feverishly on it, in between bouts of cumming stupid hard at their own ideas.

Fallout 4
A Post-Apocalyptic Open-World Action Role-Playing Game with Crafting and Settlement-Building.
+ Open-World / Exploration.
+ Graphics are of high quality.
+ Craft your own Weapons & Armor.
+ Dog companion.
± Mods make this game better.
± Combat is a bit too straightforward but is nuanced by Damage-Types.
± Settlement-Building is ok but not very intuitive.
- Story / Main-Quest and most Side-Quests are rather bland.
- Dialogue-Options are rather uninteresting with little differing consequences.
- Scrap-Collecting is rather dull. Inventory-Management gets tedious.
- Vanilla (Game without Mods) experience is underwhelming and missing so many features.
I can't really recommend this game. It's not a good RPG.

Anyway, more importantly, here's how to mod Fallout 4:

Pre-MODS - First things first:
* Login / Create and account for Nexus Mods
* Mod Manager: Install and Authorize Vortex Mod Manager and select Fallout 4 as the game to manage.
* Install Script Extender with Vortex: Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE)

Open C:/Users/.../Documents/My Games/Fallout 4/Fallout4Prefs.ini in a text editor and change/add:

I'm in the third act of Ghost of Tsushima and I'm starting to believe its one of the best games I've ever played.

It's next on my "list to finish" once I get this last goddamned Control trophy and finally have the Platinum...

They released a 60fps patch for The Last of Us II for PS5... makes me want to play it again.

[Rubin Farr]

One of the last PS4 games I really wanted, found for $14 new, so looking forward to diving in.

Yeah there’s an infinite ammo gun DLC, but I’ve never paid for RE DLC before, hmmm...

They say it's a lot like assassin's creed. I don't care for AC, should I still get this game (ghost)?

It's that Samurai Edge Beretta 92F I think. It was tempting, but I opted not to in the end because it would probably mean a significantly reduced challenge. Not quite RE4 Chicago Typewriter-level cheesing, but still.

I would say the combat is more similar to AC than Dark Souls. I still think its more fun than AC's combat because you have a lot more gizmos to mess up enemies. The story is nothing like AC, it actually makes sense. Also its loading times are nothing like AC, Ghost loads fast.

DQ12 announced, should be here some time in the 2030s

Spoiler

I might be buying my first Switch very soon. Will be playing this again if/when I do.

Yeah but I'm itching for a portable gaming device that I can use for the next three weeks. I've got the laptop, but it's too cumbersome to carry around and takes ages to boot/load compared to my desktop. And I'd rather be able to sit in a comfy position whilst doing so. Plus a Pro is likely gonna be hard to acquire at first anyway, especially with scalpers n' shit. (Stupid FWPs)

EDIT: Changed my mind. I'll stick with the laptop.
