Recently put a lot of time into completing Rise of the Ronin. It's like Farcry mixed with Ghost of Tsushima. There's way too many characters to keep track of though. Loosely based on historical events in mid-1800s Japan.
In a completely different vein, Inscryption is now available on PS+ and I've been enjoying the hell out of it. Went into it not knowing anything about it and was instantly hooked.

I started playing Cloudpunk (fun enough, though the dialogue can be cringey and long-winded at times) and messing around in Batman: Arkham Knight.
Also trying out Spirit of the North to see if it might be appropriate for the little dude (and it's soothing and pleasantly immersive for me).
He started playing Pikuniku this past weekend and I helped him out whenever he got stuck, then we played co-op for a little while and had good fun. What an utterly lovely game.
I love that voxel art-style in Cloudpunk. Similar vibe, Shadows of Doubt just got released to lukewarm reviews, but it looks like one of those that'll get patched and tweaked into something really enjoyable.
Nice, that looks great – added to my wishlist.
I'm way into Cloudpunk now, cringe and all, good fun and very nice to look at.

I was after a puzzle game for some light brain work and decided on The Talos Principle.
Fucking hell, I have never had motion sickness trouble with a videogame but this is horrendous and, per Google, a very common problem.
Good game though. If you do play it then I recommend the following:
Lock the frame rate to at least 60 fps. If you need to bump down image quality/post-processing to acheive this then do;
Turn off headbobbing;
Increase the FOV slider up to 105 (essential);
Bump your mouse sensitivity down about a quarter of the bar.
This makes it manageable for most, and given the piecemeal nature of the puzzles I rend to do short sessions anyway. I've read that this isn't enough for some though, and that they also have to go full third-person. YMMV.
