Helldivers 2 has been my favorite, but pretty much every patch something new breaks and the weapons keep getting weirdly balanced. I don't want them all to be super strong, I LOVE being an underpowered cog in the machine, but the choices make less and less sense and its really taking the fun out of it all.

Also started A Plague Tale 2, whatever its subtitle is. Its fine. More of the same with a couple new toys. I'm not blown away, but it is very pretty, and I am enjoying the new character development of Amecia with her apparent PTSD.

I've had The Sinking City downloaded for months and I know I'll like it if I actually start it but I can't bring myself to.

A Plague Tale 2 seems interesting. Oh, and I've heard great things about The Sinking City. There's also The Forsaken City, if you're interested in stuff like that.

I do like helldivers a lot, like having my birthday party themed as helldivers on July (I'm gonna be 45).

Mainly I play easy on diff 5, which let's me help cadets and also try different loadouts. Also to play chill.

I can go on 7 to 9 diff, and that is where I agree nerfing weapons is the difference between life and death.

Oh and about syncing city, loved the game, played it with my wife, had a blast and we want more of that game or something similar.
