What a difference a couple of years makes ...
Dropped FPS and got right into third-person open world. Far Cry 3 did it! I think that was the last game I played on the PS3 (no, actually, that was The Last of Us ... in preparation for The Last of Us II) which I enjoyed so much I bought it and played it again on PS4. I couldn't wait for more and played through Far Cry 4 (twice, following both story lines), which is pretty much Far Cry 3 but in the Himalayas.
I played Tomb Raider (2013), then Rise of the Tomb Raider did din't quite gel with it. Shadow of the Tomb Raider gripped me and I played it to 100% (well, 99.96% because of a glitch where two items I found did not register). Back to Rise of the Tomb Raider, finished and loved it second go. Later, I went back to it again for 100% and same for Tomb Raider. Much Enjoyed!
I started Ghost Recon Wildlands ... and put it away.
Far Cry 5 was insane! Loved it! Loved it! Far Cry New Dawn was superb - basically Far Cry 5 but a few more years on. Meeting old characters, faint recollections of places when you happen upon their decay, okay storyline, but the environment really got me. Loved it, too! Very good pair of games there.
I picked up Ghost Recon Wildlands again and took it to 100% collected. Good ending! Gagging for more, I got the DLC - Fallen Ghosts was great, Narco Road, so so. I'm now playing Ghost Recon Breakpoint and I've got to the 'Point of No Return' which is one mission plus the ending from the end. I'm just hopping around completing all the locations, collectables, side missions, faction missions and so on before proceeding. I'm rather sad to have finished it.
I think I'll go back to Far Cry 5 after ... I've got the Vietnam DLC to finish, then I think I'll just run the game again and go through New Dawn a second time.
Looking forward to: Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us II, Dying Light II (oh, yeah, played Dying Light after finally getting to a point that I enjoyed it ... Dead Island & Riptide, too).
I had a good run through some of those sideways adventure games, too: Little Nightmares, Dark The Fall, INSIDE, LIMBO & Valiant Hearts, and a few good indie games: Samarost/2/3, Tenagmi (played that one with my kitten - he chose where to go) & Deadlight. Blimey! FIrewatch, too. Yeah, that one was okay.
I think third-person is much more my thing now ... so much so, I bought Modern Warfare (2019) and don't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I might just take a little perseverence.
What you guys been playing?
