Finished up Yakuza 7, which was pretty great. First time playing the series. At least for me, it dragged on too long towards the end, and they could have done a better job of the pacing. It would have been nice if they allowed a harder difficulty without having to complete it on normal first -- I generally don't replay games until years later, when they've been long since uninstalled (due to space).
Right after that I jumped into the Tomb Raider reboot from the Steam sale, and enjoyed it a lot. Reminded me of Uncharted -- which I also greatly enjoyed -- but with its own unique elements. It wasn't very long (2 days of play time), but it didn't have to be. It didn't wear out its welcome and had fun content with some interesting tomb puzzles. Like with movies, every game doesn't have to be an epic masterpiece -- it was a solid action adventure ride that kept me on my toes.
Since yesterday I've been replaying GTA 5 (on PC) for the first time since release (on Xbox 360... wow). It's crazy how quality the content is, and there aren't many dull moments between missions. You never have to "look" for anything, the characters are fun (and insane), and the gameplay is solid. I can see the widespread appeal.
