I put down Disco Elysium. 5 hours in and it just wasn't doing it for me. I feel like I gave it a fair shake.

I made a bit more progress in Divinity: Original Sin; still haven't finished the murder investigation, but I started venturing into combat outside of town. I've had a strong desire to go back to this game and its sequel after having my socks blown off by Baldur's Gate 3.

I'm still in the middle of my second playthrough of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, now in turn-based mode, which I'm enjoying a lot more, trying to get around to content I missed the first time around. The order I did certain quests in last time locked me out of a lot of content through strange scripting mishaps.

And finally, I'm making some progress in System Shock as well. It can be quite overbearing how many strong enemies they respawn without giving you good ways to regenerate the resources to fight them. It leads to this situation where the optimal strategy is either to save scum the hell out of it, or traverse all the way back to medical to heal, or both. Presumably there will be other medical stations later, but I've only found the one so far.
