Not too far into this one yet, but #ControlUltimateEdition was gifted to me and it's been stellar. A good balance of serious and lighthearted, with the story developing in novel ways. Visually, it's just incredible.

One game I'm currently playing is #LoreleiandtheLaserEyes, which I'm loving for a lot of reasons. An important one being that, if there is a dog, you damn well better let me pet it. This is the video game equivalent of Chekov's gun.
