Four 'active' games, as it were, right now. Let's go over them!
Saints Row 2: as previously discussed, on co-op with my boyfriend. Tons of fun. I sometimes play solo, though, just to screw around or do things I can't do in co-op if he's hosting the session (namely, buy properties).
Jak & Daxter: When this originally came out, I failed to get into it. I think it's because I always liked Ratchet & Clank better, and R&C broke the collect-a-thon rut platformers had fallen into. Well, I have the * HD collection, and this time, I'm liking it for what it is. I don't think it's great, but it's sort of a blast from the past.
3D Dot Game Heroes: My RPG fix. Zelda meets Minecraft. Seriously. You can create a character from blocks, or use one of the templates. I created a werewolf. Lots of fun and both retro and modern. Plus, it parodies itself in many ways, and that's something I love seeing games do.
No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise: Just popped this one in. I played the Wii version, both 1 and 2, and adored them for the humor (if sometimes juvenile), self-parody elements, and fun gameplay, if ridiculously violent. Easily a favorite game on Wii. Got ported to PS3 and remade into HD, and I got it cheap a while back, and felt like playing it. Yup. Still loving it, even with a different control scheme.
Next Pokemon game(s): Pearl
Last finished Pokémon game: Shield
Other games: Skyrim Special Edition (Switch), Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Switch & PS4), Okami (Switch & PS4)
Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation
