Anyone played much
Deathloop? I'm about two hours in and best let off the leash for a little while and just pretty confused about it all! I guess more clues will come as I play, but at the moment I can't even imagine how I would get the visionaries in one place even if I knew what I needed to do. I haven't noticed that I'm able to really affect anything in the world, and I went after Charlie and went running round his funhouse for ages and couldn't find him anywhere. There seems like such a lot going on in this game all at once!
Yes, I actually platinummed Deathloop on PS5 earlier this year and, I'll be honest, I was not impressed. Like you, I felt fairly confused at the beginning and was wondering why I was making like no headway in the whole "kill all the Visionaries in one loop" thing, but I eventually discovered that there's literally only one way to complete the game, which means you're just following the quest markers. It was so overly handholdy that it was boring, but at the same time, the method by which you get the visionaries is so obtuse, that I don't think I would've figured it out on my own. So it's a strange game to me. Without the quest markers and the game over explaining everything, it would probably be too confusing to complete, but with the quest markers and the game over explaining everything, it becomes boring. In addition, there's only two enemy types and their AI is completely braindead and there's only four extremely small levels. Overall, it was a huge let down considering this was the studio that brought us the Dishonored series and Prey 2016.

Apart from that I've been making my way through
Mass Effect 2 and found I've forgotten pretty much everything in the entire game, so it's cool to go through again.
Ah, a man of culture. ME2 is one of my favorite games of all time. It kept what worked in ME1, the story and characters, while fixing what didn't, the combat, and dropping what was utterly worthless, the uncharted planet exploration. Might I ask what class your playing? Vanguard was my absolute favorite.

Finally, picked up
Hades on the Switch in the sale for £11 (with a few gold points) which I wanted to do since it left Gamepass a while back. Had a few runs and it's as good as ever. Never managed to finish it on Xbox so most the game is still new to me.
I started playing it a few weeks ago and it's a lot of fun. I accidentally started the game in Hell Mode and didn't realize it, so I was wondering why it was so tough after 35 runs. So then I started the game in regular mode and made more headway, but I again started to feel a bit bored around 35 runs despite doing better. I guess I'm just not a fan of Rogue-likes.
