What games are you playing now?

It is just so frustratingly hard. I haven’t clicked with the combat yet,

Took a while for me too.
At first I was at disbelieve "this certianly cant be more difficult than x, so why am I so bad?", and then "ah ok, I am trying to much to avoid being hit when instead all I need to do is what I always do: kill before being hit!"

The permanent weapon upgrades at first probably seem like only a small upgrade, but unlocking new weapon skills and weapons really makes a difference.
The first gun I really enjoyed was the "shotgun" with solid shell instead of spread, and the "ooze lobber" seemed too strong.

Since finishing Yakuza Kiwami I've been bouncing around a few things, haven't found anything particularly engaging and it actually prompted me to delete about 20 games from my Deck that have been there for years. The last thing I tried was Ghostwire Tokyo and basically I think what I've learned is I want to play more Yakuza already.

Good choice, I can wholeheartedly recommend Yakuza Kiwami 2 in this case!

I will tackle the last missions of Sniper Elite Resistance today. IMO is better than Sniper Elite 5 just because the map sizes are smaller and there are more ways to survive a firefight if you get caught into one.

And I'm still putting hours into Avowed.

Started with Returnal.

I absolutely love the vibe of this game. Prometheus/ Alien all the way. It is just so frustratingly hard. I haven’t clicked with the combat yet, resulting in to many deaths. But man do I like the concept.

Returnal is one of those games to me that I've accepted that I may never complete it, but I absolutely love the game still (Hollow Knight is another example). I would say keep at it and you may learn the mechanics enough to master it, but don't dismiss it if you don't.

I was frustrated when I first played, but once I got better and the "impossible" first boss fight became very easy then the game clicked. I've been meaning to start over from scratch. I think I can beat the game if I focus on it.

I'm playing through KCD again before picking up KCDII. I never played any of the DLC with the game and I couldn't really remember everything with the story. I forgot how awesome the combat was with that game too since you actively need to think about what you're doing during sword fights.
