After playing a LOT of Tetris, and trying lots of different games, I’ve finally decided to try and finish my first Assassin’s Creed since Black Flag.
Enjoying it so far.

Finished Tetris Journey mode. Really cool game. Going to play some more here and there. About 3 hours into Valhalla and like it a lot so far. Have CoD pre ordered. Going to get to Gears Tactics at some point. Probably after I finish assassins creed.
I am playing JFO after a long wait, and it is silky smooth on Series X. Game is AWESOME as a result. I love this little box, and the fact that I don’t even have to pay to own JFO - though I will buy it when it goes on sale.
When my son visited for a few days we were working through the Gears series in BC - and the results are inconsistent at best. That is BC for you. Gears 3 looks way better than the first two, and I expect that trend to continue. Now that he is gone for a few weeks, I will probably download and try Gears Tactics
After that, I finally get to play Ori. I will be busy for awhile just catching up on everything I missed out on. Also plan to give FFXV another shot in performance mode
Yakuza: Like A Dragon.
The English VA is hilarious.

Too Many games, but Gears Tactics is pure gold <3

Playing Gears Tactics on Series X. Loving it, buttery smooth, this is how XCOM should have played.
Madden and The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon, next will be Jedi Fallen Order, then either Gears Tactics, or Valhalla, Next Gen Madden and NBA 2K will join the mix in December, and after Valhalla and Tactics, back to No Man’s Sky.

AC Valhalla. 25hrs in already and finding it hard to put down. I have played every single AC game to completion. This one might just be my favourite AC of all time.
Halo 4, I’ve never played it before. Really enjoying it, not sure why it cops so much flack

Valhalla, Tetris Connected and the new COD. I’m not normally a AC or or massive open world fan but Valhalla is growing on me. Tetris Connected is shockingly addictive. COD is…COD.

Started playing Gears Tactics two days ago and it’s so good. Also Tetris Effect is one of the best games of this generation, such an amazing experience…I am so happy that the game now is on Xbox (we still need Rez Infinite though! please Phil make it happen!) Also DQ11 and Katamari Damacy REROLL next month!
2020 is a such a great year for Xbox. 
edit: For some reason the retail version of Gears Tactics is not available anywhere here in Greece, I dunno what’s up with that.

Currently playing ffxv after transistioning to the series X. The improved load times have certainly made all the fetch quests a lot less annoying. I am alternating that with sessions of Tetris effect which is wonderful. The quick resume makes that super easy. Very happy with my series X even though halo isn’t here yet.
Lots and lots of grinding in Beyond Light. Took a couple of minutes to play Gears 5 and FH4 but otherwise Destiny is on the menu until December.
I’ve been bouncing around a few titles, to see the Series X in action and to test/calibrate my TV. I think I may stick with Ori, though.

Assassin’s Creed Valhala Dirt5 Bright Memory StarWars Fallen Order Star Wars Squadrons Got the last two on sale for $60.00 total. Call them old I dont care but when you combinine them with the titles above them this has made for one wickedly fun launch. Also jumped back in to Forza 7 which now those notoriously long load times are gone. Total game changer for this one now,use to be so tedious loading up races,now its so short I have to pull myself away from it to give Dirt 5 more time.
I just wish Series X hardware could brute force a game like BlairWitch Project and make that one perform better too. Still runs so damn janky even on Series X. Overall I’m getting the feeling that optimization on this one is a real dog,it even makes my i9900/2070 SuperRTX run way too hard and hot. lol
I’ve mostly settled on playing Ori now. I waited for XSX for it. It’s the most beautiful looking game ever made. It’s also a fantastic game in general. The traversal is amazing and how it all opens up is just wow.

I’ve been playing a ton of Gears Tactics and I’m just about done with chapter 2. As with Wasteland 3 I’m loving it even though I didn’t think I was a tactics guy. Also, my son and I have put a chunk of time into Gears 5 in anticipation for the new season.
Played about 10ish hours of Warfare back when the Xbox One launched and thought I’d fire it up on the XSX to see what the loading times were like and to see how much it has progressed… Wow! Load times are like 2 seconds and there is so much content. May play a bit more once the next gen patch is released.
UnderMine is constantly going thanks to Quick Resume, too.

Tried playing COD Cold War on the PS5, that dual sense controller is really impressive but it has a steep learning curve. Like you REALLY have to get use to it. Its not like the DS4 and the Xbox One controller where it was mostly the layout that was different.
