I'm in a bit of a down period as STALKER 2 is coming out soon so I don't want to pick up a new story campaign from my backlog in the meantime (Metro: Exodus, Bioshock Infinite and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are on the docket) in case I'm not finished in time for release day.

Still playing lots of Deadlock, but for a single player story game I've gone back to some bits of RDR 2 when I'm not in the competitive mood. I started it earlier this year but abandoned it as I burnt out on it a bit. Coming back to it has been a very mixed experience, there is still so much about it I love - but also some very deep frustrations. And absence hasn't really made the heart grow fonder in that regard. I don't really like the mission structure. I know it's been brought up by others, but I too seem to be among those who are bothered by it. I also find the sheer body count forced on you through main story missions to be so ludicrous as to regularly ruin my immersion. I'm not even that far in and I've already basically committed genocide levels of murder! And then the mission is over and nobody is talking about the massacre of hundreds of lawmen?
