Xenoblade Chronicles: DE was last year? Damn my sense of time is completely messed up, felt longer ago. Fun game in the beginning but so. much. running.

Yeah apparently... I had to look it up because I thought it was 2019

I'm about 3/4 of the way through. Lots of busy work so I usually stick on a podcast on in the background.

I wouldn’t put Village anywhere near to Returnal personally. Village was a good, solid game but didn’t think it was anything special in particular.
To be honest it's been a really naff year for games in my opinion. I'd give Village a solid 7.5/8 out of 10, mostly for the giggles and campy silliness. Returnal was better but as i said, not been a great year overall. Roll on HZW and Elden Ring.
