My Dual Sense (PS5 controller) got drift again, so no Monster Hunter this week.

Half-way through Soda Jungle in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe (one good thing about Super Mario Wonder, is it's smaller name)
Didn't play much Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, want to fix that this week.
Not much to say about Dragon Quest XI, it's trudging along.
Started Deathloop as it's leaving PS+ Extra, but couldn't get into it, so dropped it.
After Deathloop, I wanted to play some kind of shooting game, so stared Remnant: From the Ashes. Loving the game, it's not as hard souls-like, but it's still a tough game, I guess more of a souls-lite. Loving the game, and that's taking most of my time now.

What about you guys? What have you been playing?

As for older ones, while I don’t mind retro games, they feel a bit too retro. How would you say those older games are, if you don’t have any nostalgia for it?

I'd say 5 and 6 are worth playing even without the nostalgia factor. The job system in 5 is really fun to play with and the plot is solid, and 6 is one of the classics everyone should play once.

As for the earlier games, they are surprisingly decent despite their age but I'd say they are best played as a history lesson to the genre.
