Wolfenstien The New Order: I decided to play this game on the equivalent of hard. Hard difficulty is mostly fine, with some being one-shot thrown in. I dropped the difficulty on the final boss after a few tries. It was too much BS with not being able to see (smoke and fire), everything being on fire, and getting one shot.

Otherwise the gameplay is tight and fun. Wish you got more perks and more upgrades for weapons, but what there is is good. Story ranges from over the top, to right in the feels. Glad I finally played it.

Resident Evil 3 REmake: First of all, the new Jill look is great. I'm torn on how I feel about this game. On the one hand the gameplay is a natural evolution of RE2. The doge is a great mechanic once you get the hang of it. On the other Nemesis isn't used as well as Mr. X. Aside from the first encounter with him, he's only scripted events. All the areas are unique, but some are far to short. The streets of Raccoon City and hospital are the best two. Overall RE2 is better, but this is still a solid game.

Firewatch: The story tackling some of the challenges of dementia had me invested quickly. The radio conversations with Delilah are unique. I'd love to see another game do something similar. I was glad the ending didn't explain everything with some supernatural explanation. Keeping everything grounded was the right call.
