Video game general

Someone has to make it, so I'll go ahead. This is for anything video game related that's not big enough for its own thread.
I've been replaying Cultist Simulator (hard obscurantist card based literary roguelike about achieving immortality) and Book of Hours (sequel to that game, not a roguelike but equally as literary game about rebuilding an occult library) in anticipation for the upcoming demo release of the third game in the series, Travelling at Night, which has been termed a "disco-like" which is to say it's a CRPG without combat systems. Greatly recommend these games and anything else Alexis Kennedy has written for to anyone with an interest in historical fiction, occultism and literature in general.
What have you lot been playing recently and are you excited for any upcoming games?

I've recently 100% GTA San Andreas. It took me about 55 hours of play time and one month IRL to complete the game. It's the first GTA game I've ever fully completed.

It's still amazing just how much content Rockstar managed to cram into a PS2 title - an entire state with three cities and vast countryside, over 100 missions, as well as various activities like gambling, dumping a policeman's body from a quarry, trucking illegal goods, conquering territory from rival gangs, dating girls, etc. Though R* had to sacrifice graphical fidelity (mitten hands in 2004? Seriously?) to achieve a game of this scale on relatively weak hardware, I still think this is the best GTA game ever, at the very least on the fact of it being so absurd and off-the-wall.
