Somehow I got to all of these today. I had Luigi's Mansion ready to go too, but didn't get to that. 

I'm level 160 now in Forza Horizon 4. I've done just about everything except a handful of difficult achievements. I'm hacking away at them but I am not doing incredibly boring stuff to get them right away. I'll get them in my own time. I tried out the weekly Forzathon challenges, ran through the four championship races, and tried to play some Team Adventure. I kept getting disconnected from it though. I did all that, bought my favorite real life car, a BMW X5 SUV, and took a break to play Banner Saga 3. 

I got pretty deep into Banner Saga 3. It's great but I'm getting frustrated with the battles again. I had this epic one that came down to just my archer and one undead (special name escapes me at the moment. . . dredge?). I was keeping my distance and hitting him over and over but he got one hit on me and I think it did bleeding damage because I got weaker and weaker. It came down to a single health point, then I died from bleeding. Frickin' amazing, but not in a good way. This game always beats me in the last moments. When can I get a break? Well, I took a break because Red Dead Redemption II finally installed, all 89 GB of it on my PS4. 

Red Dead Redemption II is pretty amazing. Visuals are amazing. The setting and situation reminds me a bit of Tanatino's Hateful Eight, if you saw that movie. You're in a blizzard and looking for shelter. Then you have to go out to rescue a member of your party and then raid a competitor's camp site. The snow is incredible. I had to fight off wolves with a sawed off shotgun from a horse in deep snow. It took me a bit to reaquaint myself with the PS4's controller - it's been a few months - but I got it going when the real shootout began at the rival's camp site. Shooting is great, story is amazing, voice work of the highest calibur. I can't wait to raid the train that's coming up. 

That's a day. Tomorrow, likely the same routine of those three games. Or maybe something Halloweenish will come up. Who knows?

I really want to play a Castlevania tomorrow after finishing season 2 on Netflix. 

I still am going to play RDR before I play RDR2. Too bad PS Now still doesn't support PS3 downloads, so it'll be a while, but at least that's one game my wallet won't suffer for.

I have RDR on my XBO hard drive but I still haven't gotten to it. One of these days.
