I'm going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

Special weekly question:

What do you like most about 2023's repertoire of video games?

Recently played Pathfinder: Wath of the Righteous and Pyschonauts 2. Really enjoyed both of them, the first because I cut my teeth on D&D 3.x and have loved the base system ever since, and the second because it's a really good follow up to the original. Interesting new powers and worlds, lots of really entertaining characters again, and a surprise appearance from Jack Black. Surprise to me, at least.

Currently I'm working through Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Tactics Ogre: Reborn, and Vermintide 2 with my best mate. Youngblood is scratching the nazi killing itch, but I think New Order was still the best in the series - the RPG elements just aren't needed. Vermintide 2 is turning into a lot of fun now I'm understanding the characters abilities better, but I imagine we're going to lose interest before actually reaching really high power levels.
Tactics Ogre: Reborn has had me sucked in for months now. I know a lot has been changed/improved/added to over the decades, but I can see why it was so influencial on the tactics genre. I nearly have all the postgames spells unlocked, so soon I'll be going back to the start and taking alternate routes through the story. Possibly with some ogre blade body snatching along the way.

Oh yeah, big fan of Owlcat Games due to both their Pathfinder games, including and especially Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. On another note, I still plan to play Tacctics Ogre: Reborn, though my interest is admittedly waning nowadays (too many games).
