Bg3 and The Finals, depending on my mood.

Bg3 is great, super happy that they fixed some of the worst bugs in the last patch (like being shot at by enemies through the floor when you are on the 2nd floor of a building).

The Finals definitely needs some balancing changes made, but I'm still enjoying it. Excited to see how the game grows, it will probably replace Apex Legends for me if they keep fixing it.

The balance in the Finals is a weird one. I can absolutely understand feeling like it needs some balance changes, but honestly the more I play against things I consider BS the more I feel like it's actually pretty balanced and every class has tools that make them feel powerful. I would absolutely give it another month of no balance changes to see if something is actually too powerful. I wouldn't want a reactionary balance because IMO each class should have something that makes them feel powerful, it makes the game more fun.

The only thing I don't like is the countdown not stopping when someone is stealing the cashout. At a certain point you just give up trying to steal it because you just know you don't have time to make the steal. For instance I've wiped at a bad time and respawned just far enough to know I won't make it to the cashout with enough time to steal, so I just sit there for half a minute waiting for the match to end because I already know I can't win.
