I finished RE9 and Metal Slug 3 today. So, for the foreseeable future:

Stellar Blade
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
Marathon
Street Fighter 6
 
I just finished Rushing Beat X. It's a fun game, and the best in the whole franchise, but it still has some growing pains and issues like its predecessors. It has that Rushing Beat jank. The characters are all fun, and have a wide variety of moves, but certain characters are either more fun or better than the others. My main issue with the game is that the bosses are just okay or frustrating. Bosses tend to have way too much health at times, and the same goes for some enemies. Hit detection mostly work, but there are moments where I swear I am close to the enemy and my punches or attacks will sometimes miss. It didn't too often, but it happens way more than something you would rarely see in games like The TakeOver, Streets of Rage 4, or Double Dragon Gaiden. Certain enemy types can be cheap too. Mainly the wrestler and robot enemy types. They will sometimes grab you out of now where, and you can't break out of it. Why do certain brawlers still do this, when games like SOR4 and Shredder's Revenge solved this issue?

If you're into Rushing Beat lore, then this game's story is a fun doozy. You're not supposed to take it too seriously, but it's a game made by fans, and clearly for the fans. It has references tying back mainly to the first two games, but it's not just memberberries. Keep in mind, RBX is a prequel. It takes place after the first two games, but before the final entry in the franchise, Shura. I did enjoy it, but I probably be sticking with Free Mode to just play the game. There are some nice details as each character has their own unique dialogue when encountering bosses or story events.

The game has 9 stages total. The last two tend to drag little, but more the final stage. Thankfully, it's not that long. I will say the look of the game has been improved, and getting used to the art style and heavy ink shading. Almost reminds me of Viewtiful Joe a little.

As far as ranking this game goes, it might be a little too early for me to decide, but the game sits around between a 6-7/10. It's a decent time, and you'll have fun, but expect certain issues to grind your gears and frustrate you. The good thing is the game seems to give you unlimited continues on Normal at least. I don't know about Hard or Shura Mode, but I honestly don't want to play this on the harder difficulties. Not worth it, and there's no extra/secret ending for doing as far as I know. It's almost as if this was done to counterbalance the cheap difficulty.

Whoever you play as gets their own epilogue after beating the game. As far as 2.5D brawlers go, RBX is not better than Double Dragon Neon nor even Double Dragon Revive, but better than Demolish Fist. Not the biggest milestone to accomplish as there are other brawlers that already do that, but whatever.

I played on PS5, and it suffered no slow downs nor stuttering issues.
 
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
Detective Grimoire
Suikoden 1
Marathon (2026)
Street Fighter 6

Still playing a lot of Marathon lately. It honestly may be my current GOTY over RE9. Started Detective Grimoire and Suikoden 1 this past week. Cool games.
 
I think Rushing Beat X possibly has me in hostage mode. I keep finding reasons to go back and play thinking I am done. The combat keeps drawing me back, despite its flaws. Partially (the first 5-8 minutes) looking at 1CC run only inspired me to do better and try what the other person did. I managed to do a near 1CC Run with Kahlua. Originally, I thought she was the worse character to play as, but turns out, Kahlua is one of better combo focused characters to play and beat the game. There is so much pause combo cancelling, and dash cancelling you can do, but the game barely ever tells you.

I did the entire run on Hard, and only died once at the final boss. He ain't even hard, it just the boss before him, Juliana, can be a biatch to fight. I managed to beat my old high score again, and totaled to 207, 881. I am putting this down, as I've really got to get back to other games now. I've put 22 hours into this game now.

What's that Crimson Desert like I've been interested in checking it out.

I'm currently playing Spiderman 2. I'm new to the PS5 era.

Crimson desert is really good, has a massive expansive world and some ott and amazing boss fights. The gameplay is brilliant too, main story is okay, but the world and side quests and gameplay compensate for any shortcomings in it that some may have.

Pretty much still the same!

Marathon
Hunt: Showdown 1896
Game of Thrones: Kingsroad
Tangle Tower
Suikoden 1

Tangle Tower is the sequel to Detective Grimoire. Really cool detective series so far. the 3rd game is coming this year, Mermaid Mask.
 
Took me two tries, but I cleared Boss Rush Mode with Kahlua in Rushing Beat X. Clear time is 24 minutes and 19 seconds. I don't think I am going to get a faster time than this with the other characters. What they do throw at you is some bullshit at the end, but if you know how space the bosses out properly and juggle them, it's not too bad. They at least give you healing items to endure. This game clearly needs a survival mode and versus mode for the hell of it, because I am not gonna do that mode again for long time, aside from maybe Kazan and Wendy.
 
Still grinding through Black Myth: Wukong and man, some of these bosses are absolutely no joke. I’m also diving back into DMC5 for the hundredth time because I just can’t stay away from those combos for long.
 
Tears of the Kingdom.
I hated Breath of the Wild. I didn't just dislike it, I actively hated that game. Out of curiosity, though, I got TotK on the S2 and it's almost the same game but I'm not having the same reaction. I'm actually liking this one. Not sure what it is but I'm having a good time with it.
