I think the last completion I posted was Control. So here’s basically everything I’ve played since then. “Unfortunately” they’re all from subscriptions (except Halo,) so a grand total of zero. 
Hot Wheels Unleashed is a decent arcade racer, if a bit repetitive. I feel like the car collection/upgrade system isn’t great. I basically just stuck to one or two cars, because they were faster than anything else, upgraded or not.
Mullet Madjack was a nice palate cleanser. Since I’m a pussy, I played it on easy.
The Enchanted World is a beautiful looking “sliding puzzle” game. It does get a bit frustrating on the later levels, though. (I just don’t have the patience for it and didn’t finish this one.)
Chernobylite was one of those games that sucked me in after a rough start. A fun enough shooter with light survival mechanics - on easy. I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed in on normal settings or above.
Toem is a cosy adventure/photography game that I quite enjoyed. I think it was previously on Game Pass as well.
As for Halo, I just started Halo 3 yesterday. But I’ll post the complete MCC completion when I’m done, so I don’t lose track.
Btw - is it me, or did the remasters of Halo 1 and 2 kind of ruin the atmosphere a bit? They’re obviously much higher resolution and such. But half the time I definitely preferred the original look.

Finished South of Midnight today. (+0 since on GamePass)
I haven’t seen/heard a lot of discussion about this game, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.
The gameplay was nothing really special (though I found it fun and engaging for the most part), but I thought the story telling, music, and visual design were all truly excellent.
My only real gripes with the game were some minor camera issues and controls that were a touch finicky at times (this was a rare issue, but I occasionally had button presses that didn’t register, etc.)
I was also pretty tired of the “chase” sequences by the end of the game.
Overall, though this was a solid 8/10 for me.

I don’t believe it myself, but here’s another positive point!
+1 Hidden Cats in Spooky Town
I get the fascination now. It’s basically just a big hidden object game, but with cats. It’s very addicting, so much so that I was almost late for a group meeting today at church, because I wanted to find one more cat!

A short but decent enough FPS. (With a completely forgettable story.)

+1 Shadow Complex (360)
This was a fun Metroidvania-shooter kinda game. The backtracking can be a little annoying, but the game is small enough that it didn’t bother me too much. Kinda weird that it ends almost immediately after unlocking the final weapon upgrade and you barely get to use it.
+0 Jamestown (Steam)
Was looking for something to play on my Steam Deck and this was perfect for it. Pretty good shoot 'em up. Unfortunately it forces you to play on the hardest difficulty for the final level, which was too much for my limited skillz. (I love it when there’s a “normal” difficulty for casuals, but after 3 hours the game tells you to go f*** yourself.) Still enjoyed what I got out of it, though.

Oh this annoys me a lot when it happens in games. Weapons, upgrades, abilities… you get to use for like 5 minutes.

Yep I’ve grinded and got through the early story where I was underpowered and have finally begun to unlock all the skills I want and reap the rewards for my hard work…
“I’m unstoppable! Don’t fuck with me peasants! Don’t threaten me you bosses! I’ll take you all out, this is so awesome I’m so powerful!”
“Oh that was the end of the game…”
Too often it’s 90% grind and 10% actually getting to use all the mechanics, skills and fun stuff the developers spent all that time putting in lol…
