Maybe I’m just old I barely turn on my PS5 much now but the games have been so mediocre.

With the World Cup I’ve been jonesing for FIFA but that’s gone.

That last games I’ve really played are AC Valhalla, God of War Ragnarok Star Wars Fallen Jedi, and RDR2.

I kind of want to pick up AC Valhalla again with this England-Norway game coming up.
