I also loved both Watch Dogs. Although, I played both a second time during lockdown and it did felt like the 1st one didn't age well.
To me it hasn't aged badly at all. Still looks and plays good. But I'm not finicky about older games (not that WD is even that old lol).

Anyway, finally figured out how not to die in volatile hives in Dying Light haha. Took a while. Even those giant zombie boss fights around the map are easier because those guys are stupid and not much of a challenge.

So Sekiro is joining Elden Ring in my top 20 games of all time. And I gamed since the late 80s. That being said end game bosses are tough. So decided to take a week or two break, unlike elden ring. I can't go for a leisurely ride on torrent to switch off.

Any recommendations? My options are:
1. Stray
2. Far Cry 6 (that I bought and stopped after 3 hrs, because ubi fatigue) maybe it's exactly what I need
3. AC Valhalla

And any other suggestions?
I finished cyberpunk.
Platform : PC only right now

Because I still suffer from Ubi fatigue after Far Cry 3, I vote Stray.
Also because you want chill.

I can tell you one thing. After Sekiro and Elden Ring, the combat in AC Valhalla is going to feel very clunky. It's a very relaxing game though and super easy.

Which end game boss is giving you grief?

How'd you find Gorilla? He made me take a 2 month break

Reached the end of DL: The Following so now just gonna finish all the side stuff before entering the final door. No side missions left to do afaik, just a few remaining hives and things to kill.

Awesome game, never got tired of it. Will def get DL2 as well and hopefully it's just as good. Need a little break from zombie stuff though so will probably try Stray next.

I really enjoyed DL2 . More than horizon ZD and GOW 2019. I don't know if it will have the same impact as its not as new since you just finished DL1. The night sections are less scary. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some parkour had me clenching

Stray is great. Played an hour or so this weekend. But I couldn't get the nagging feeling that I need to try Owl father again. Second attempt tonight and done! I'm going to use stray to detox when I hit a wall.

Stray is alright. I feel like there isn't much of a game there though. The best animal simulator is still Untitled Goose Game.

I agree. If it wasn't for me wanting a chill session I would be disappointed. It's why it's my "intermission" game

I keep going back to Civilization 6. Seriously addictive game!

The base game is always on sale and if patient will find the various DLC on sale as well. So can get the full experience rather cheap

Dinkum has been getting a lot of attention and it's fairly cheap so I tried it out.
It's basically Animal Crossing for PC set in the Australian outback.

Fun game. I've always wanted a family crossing style game for PC and this doesn't disappoint.
Still in early access, but there is a ton of content already. About 3 hours in and haven't scratched the surface of what there is to do.

Worth checking out if you like that type of thing.

Watch dogs 2 wasn't my cup of Tee.... also the 900p fx with serious pop-in did not help either.

So went back to finish my current saga I'm on: Desmond's story... in AC3 Remastered on Xbox 4K @ 60 FPS.

Ass Creed Valhalla, but I've remembered why stopped playing Odyssey. Those 5000 map markers to collect little bits of upgrade mats isn't as fun as Ubi thinks it is.

DQB2 when I need to play something completely different.

Odyssey is the same as Valhalla, going farming for the mats is the issue. Should only do it if you "into it" and not really needed for the main story. The main story has enough "mats" to continue without the need for "farming"

Suspect its the same for AC3 I am busy with, I am just playing the game & ignoring the homestead. Sure I am doing the side missions that make people settle, but not at all doing it solely to make goods and sending out convoy's to make money. I make enough just stabbing people :D

Hell I don't even hunt...

I should try one of the earlier AC games. I've always liked anything set during the age of sail, so maybe Black Flag would be a good start.
