Playing my Xbox racing games. Forza Horizon 1, Need for Speed Shift, Forza 3, and Burnout Revenge.
Forza Horizon is said to be on the "arcadey" end, and I can kind of see why, but tbh I don't like its gameplay. Not the fly by the seat of your pants thrill ride that is Burnout, yet doesn't handle like a sim, so you end up with this weird hybrid that won't let you take turns on a dime around 90 degree corners yet won't act like a car should act throwing off your learned muscle memory.
That is if you try and play clean. Horizon works great if as a bumper car sim, bouncing off other cars around the corner. With that style you don't want to be first until the last bend. 🙂
I recently got back into gaming. Played Far Cry 5 and New Dawn, the three games of the last Tomb Raider trilogy, and am now onto the Assassin's Creed franchise (which I'd actually never bothered with until now). Currently busy with Syndicate, which basically feels like Victorian Era GTA.
Also played a bit online, with ESO, Black Desert and a few others. Also gave Fallout 76 another shot but it's still shit.

Never bothered with AC either, decided to buy AC 2 for my Xbox 360 on a steep sale only a year ago (Along with F.E.A.R., that game never runs right on modern PC's).
Was very impressed. I can see why people took to the franchise, it's aged very well.

Yeah, same. Assassin's Creed games are usually crazy expensive compared to most other games, but Steam had them on 70-80% off recently so I grabbed like nine of them.
And they've been a lot of fun so far. Only one I've played so far that I didn't care that much for was AC 3, mainly because Connor Kenway is a lame protagonist and I wasn't a fan of the game mechanics around the convoys and such.
