That sounds like a plan!  I do like mentioning the games that I play and I
generally only play them for a short period of time.  An example would be
Jedi Fallen Order, which is a Soul's Like, but has difficulty modes.  I
played it for about an hour and had some fun.  The combat is pretty easy to
pick up and I didn't get very far into the force powers, but it is definitely
entertaining.  The maps might be a little confusing to some, though.

 ho> -h1

Thanks!
