Recently got into Warframe, and really liking it so far. Like a quicker, more MMO version of Destiny with sick parkour. Plus it's free, which is nice.

Also playing the new Enter the Gungeon expanion, which is dope. Slotting in some Hearthstone and Into the Breach during short periods of free time.

Dats a good choice.  I went full bear boi, heavy armor, super quen shields.  Just don't ask me to sprint anywhere.

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.

I just checked it out on Youtube. Wow, what a fun looking game. I remember seeing it when it came out but at that time I wasn't in a gaming state.

Ubisoft's PR did the game no favors, either. They made it seem like it was a team-based shooter where, at the end, people could decide whether or not to betray their teammates for phat loot. The game is nothing like that.

There is an area on the map that has harder challenges/bosses/whatever. And you can 'go rogue' (actual game term) and attempt to kill/hunt other players. But, in order to do that, you need to turn on the PvP flag, which everyone in the area will see, thereby making you a target, and preventing you from simply murdering someone suddenly.

The rest of the game is PvE, and can be played either in a group or solo. I've found solo easier, actually, because there are fewer enemies, and I don't need to worry about idiots who get themselves flanked, or rush into sniper fire, or anything else. The game is opposite of arcadey... you can't rush in, guns blazing, because you'll simply get creamed. Especially by the flamethrower guys and snipers. Unfortunately, a lot of the random players I've teamed with in the early going haven't grasped that.

There's a base/city building element to it, too. Missions grant you points in either medical, security, or tech, which allows you to unlock things in your base (like an ICU unit, or central heating). Unlocking those things also unlocks abilities and perks. Abilities are actual powers... I currently have a radar pulse which highlights enemies and gives me a +crit buff, and a sticky bomb launcher. Perks are passive... being able to carry more medkits, having bonuses while firing from cover, etc.

There's also a ton of hidden stuff. Audio logs, visual logs, crafting recipes, materials, etc. Civilians will randomly walk up to you for help (bottles of water, or food)... giving it to them rewards you with gear.

I've been pleasantly surprised.
