Tom Clancy's The Division on Xbox as a breather from Octopath Traveler (I really like Octopath, but there's a fair amount of grinding). Got it for free (if you have a Microsoft account and use Bing as your search engine, you can accrue enough points to get things like free Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold subscriptions).
I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying it. I thought it was mostly multiplayer, but the bulk of it can be done solo. I don't normally like post-apocalyptic games since they tend to devolve into "everything sucks and in the end the only thing you can do is look out for you and yours" affairs, but this game is largely about taking the city back and rebuilding. The optimistic undercurrent is very welcome.
It's a few years old, but looks stunning. The gunplay is okay if you can accept the fact that the game is essentially a RPG and headshots aren't necessarily instant kills. There's a ton of customization - an okay character creator, a ton of gear slots, perks and abilities, clothing that's not tied to stats, etc. I'm having a blast with it, to the point that I'm excited for next year's sequel.
