It’s the finish of the month, people, and which means it’s time to inform us about a number of the exhibits or movies you watched and the video games you performed. (And stuff you’ve learn or listened to, if these are stuff you partake in.)

Played: Since I personal a PlayStation 5, that meant I used to be legally required to purchase Horizon Forbidden West. While different issues did find yourself briefly taking on my time not lengthy after it got here out, I’ve been having fun with what I performed to this point, even when it’s a bit out of step with how builders have been trying open world video games since 2017. The world merely feels large for the sake of being large, and whereas its core stealth/arrow sniping loop continues to be superb, it appears like Guerrilla simply didn’t handle a lot of Zero Dawn’s points, like its underwhelming melee and traversal mechanics or having to screech to a halt each time you trip a mount and need to collect sources.

Last month, I stated that I may see myself having fun with Cyberpunk 2077, however its numerous bugs have been turning me away, so I set it apart. So naturally, CDPR went and launched the next-gen upgrade a number of weeks in the past, and I dove again into it. The potential of the sport is beginning to shine by means of, and it’s good to lastly play the sport with out having to cross my fingers that the quicksave perform will work and I gained’t fall by means of the ground. Finally, I went by means of the Witch Queen enlargement for Destiny 2, whose marketing campaign is actually good, and appears like Bungie firing on all cylinders for the primary marketing campaign in a while.

Watched: Mainly, the factor that I’ve been watching are issues that I talked about final month: Abbott Elementary, Legend of Vox Machina, and Dimension 20: A Starstruck Odyssey. Slowly however absolutely, I’ve been catching up with Demon Slayer and its first season. While I’m not totally bought on the hype that everybody’s been giving it on Twitter throughout its second season (yeah, I do know, give it time), I gained’t deny that it is fairly dang good. And it’s extremely fairly besides, the sort of anime the place almost each motion beat has one thing spectacular occurring. Can’t wait to see what’s subsequent.

Read: Comics took up my studying time for the month, after I had the time to learn them. I’ve been catching up with Jujutsu Kaisen, Boruto, and My Hero Academia over on Shonen Jump, however so far as the Big Two goes, it was the month of Marvel. The new Iron Fist from Alyssa Wong, Michael YG, and Jay David Ramos turned out to be a number of enjoyable, and I’m excited to see the place it goes with its new lead. X Lives/X Deaths of Wolverine from Ben Percy, artists Joshua Cassara and Federico Valentini, and colorists Frank Martin and Dijjo Lima has additionally been simply rattling good at what it does, like a lot of Percy’s latest comics work. Both are value studying, in the event you like mutant weirdness or kung-fu coming-of-age tales.
