Currently playing Final Fantasy 16. It's more good than great, but I'm having fun. The game does spectacle really well with some of the fights and cutscenes, but a lot of the side quests are pretty bland. The writing also suffers from some liberalism

Freeing slaves is good, but killing slave owners is bad. Too many slave owners are left unkilled by the protagonist

Recently played through a bunch of games on sale on psn for $0.50 or less for the variety. Of those, I'd recommend Shiro. It's a short (about an hour long) precision platformer with generous checkpoints. It was $0.50, but it's back to $5 now.

The new Prince of Persia metroidvania looks good. Hopefully the latest Dragon Quest comes out sometime this year.
