    I got part way into AG1 a while back and set it aside for other games, it seemed like more of the same if you liked Doom: Eternal you'll probably like them.

    I bought Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate. I'm having a lot fun with it!

    Definitely the new FH5 looks and sounds better, but I prefer UK roads than Mexico. Also I don’t think my system could play FH5 all graphics maxed out.

    I just picked up Dishonored 2. Finally the price is below USD10 for my region (I paid 660 yen in Japan).

    Dishonored 2 is gorgeous and I love the art style but unfortunately the Void Engine (based on Id Tech 5) is really unoptimised. I spent about 2 hours solely to find the tweaks and perfect performance/visual balance for my system. I wish they used Id Tech 6 or maybe CryEngine for Prey.
