Oh… Activision isn’t even trying to hide it anymore. They’re just straight up using AI slop in game now.

Platinum Trophy #40: Ghost of Yōtei (PS5)
I've spent majority of my last two weeks totally enthralled in this sublime game. Though not perfect, the level of quality Sucker Punch delivers here is nothing short of a generation-defining experience.

Played about an hour of Ghost of Yōtei before going to bed last night and… damn.
Looks like I’ll be spending a lot of time with the photo mode.

Platinum Trophy #39: Mafia: The Old County (PS5)
It took me a bit longer to get around to playing this than I would've liked, but I'm glad I finally did. This game is actually quite good, even if it has very little to surprise with.

I’ve literally never been this excited to jump back into Destiny than right now. Single-player friendly content? A Star Wars themed expansion? Exploration inspired by metroidvania games?
Sign me the fuuuuuuuuuck up.

Platinum Trophy #37: The Last of Us Part II Remastered (PS5)
With the new HBO series on the horizon, now was a good time to revisit the story since enough time has passed.
I’m not sure any game is truly “perfect”, but TLOU2 is certainly close.

Platinum Trophy #36: Lego Horizon Adventures (PS5)
It’s been a little while since I last played through a Lego, game and thought this might be a good pick. Sadly, I think this is just about the most boring a Lego game can get at this point.

I went into Ne Zha 2 relatively blind tonight and I just have to say it’s absolutely worth the hype it’s getting.
It seems the general consensus is how it puts western animation to shame. While I’m not really an expert on that front, I would have to agree. The story was quite moving as well.
4.5/5

I’m a little surprised that Hurry Up Tomorrow actually looks pretty good. I had my doubts after The Idol, but hey I’ll be there Day 1 no matter what. Can’t wait to see this in May.

Initial thoughts after first listen: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It‘ll be interesting to see how this album ages over time. Somehow it feels way more personal than anything I’ve heard from him over the years.
Still very curious how this ties into the movie in coming out in May.
Overall, I’m happy with this right now.

About to watch The Brutalist in IMAX. I’ve been wanting to see this one for a while now and I’m glad it finally got a wide release. Hopefully the 3 hour and 35 minute runtime is worth it.

I finished up Batman: Arkham Shadow on the Meta Quest 3S that I got for cheap this last Black Friday. I'm really impressed with how well the Arkham game formula translates to VR, and in my opinion stands up with the greats like Half-Life: Alyx.

With this game now approaching it's 10 year anniversary in just a few months, I thought now was a good time to revisit it and see how well the game holds up all these years later.

I’ve gone through a pretty significant lifestyle change over the last month by moving to another state. Through all of it, my one constant has been playing through Elden Ring.

Spent the last few days replaying and 100 percent-ing Control. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this game is a masterpiece and definitely fits within my top 10 games of all time. Sometimes I wish I was still making YouTube videos, as I feel like I could do a banger video essay on this gem.

Just popped the Spider-Man 2 platinum trophy. I really enjoyed the story of this game, but outside of general polish I don’t think this game did anything that the last games didn’t. Not to say it wasn’t fun, it just didn’t blow me away. Solid 8/10 experience though.

Wrapped up Assassin’s Creed Mirage and all of its achievements over the weekend. There are a few good aspects to the game, but there definitely some bad parts as well. If you enjoyed the older AC games, you’ll probably like this game? If not, I wouldn’t bother.
