Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (PC)
In Chapter 9 of 18 (?!), and I'm at Wall Market. Wall Market is literally the reason I bought the game, but I'm baffled by it all the same. So, this is gonna require some spoilers of both FF7 and FF7R, so I'm gonna put it in the spoiler box so that people don't complain at me.
So, having played the original, I already have an idea of the story playing out here, and here's the weird part: Midgar isn't even the end of the first disc in the original. It's only the first half of it (barring a raid on it later in the game), but FF7R is spent entirely in Midgar. Oh, it gets better. See, Wall Market is actually about 2/3s of the way through the Midgar plotline. Don Corneo (the "ruler" of Wall Market) is how you learn about the plot to drop the Sector 7 plate onto the slums, and Aerith gets kidnapped during it, leading to the storming of Shinra HQ, and Sephy's first major appearance in the original. This is all within a few hours of game time in the original. Now, look at the progress I've made, again; I'm on chapter 9 of 18! How the hell did they manage to expand the story that much?! I'm halfway through the game; what the hell is there left to do?! And Shinra HQ is where you get Red XIII -- and it was confirmed during development he would not be playable, so Shinra HQ HAS to be the endpoint of the plotline! Can you see why I'm confused?!

Genshin Impact - Finally breaking into the new Nod Krai region and beginning the story and adventuring. Haven't gotten too far into yet so not much to say about it at the moment.
Nioh Remastered - Finally got the last Twilight Mission I needed to clear on Way of the Demon difficulty to get the last DLC trophy for a 100% completion. That's now the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game done, just the Steam version to do eventually.
Cat Quest - Started playing this on Steam last night and ended up staying up way too late (4 AM) being absorbed into the game. It's quite fun, though nothing that will blow you away. For a game you can constantly find on sale for $3-$5 though, it's definitely worth picking up if you just want a relaxing, casual action game to play.

Transport Fever - Still playing my Denmark game. I'm up to 1910 now, and I've connected all of the towns on the main islands (Sjælland and Fyn). The next job is to connect my network to Jylland (the part of Denmark that's on the European mainland) - but, that'll require an expensive bridge, so first, I'm upgrading my existing network  .
