Played a bunch. If it wasn't for my Xbox app, I wouldn't remember them all. Here's a list:

Farm Together: Added my 14th farmhand. I'm starting to have to limit the number of trees planted or they'll overrun my farmhand fields. I also bought the Marketing Agency that gives you extra quests. I'm getting close to where I was on my first farm.

PBA Pro Bowling: I watched some championship bowling highlights on PBA's youtube channel and then played a tournament in the game. I realize now I could've chosen my pro player from those available. I'll have to remember to do that next time but I have to choose who I want to follow in real life. Maybe Mr. Rash or Mr. French Canadian Who's Name Escapes Me At The Moment. 

Monster Train: This is a card battler roguelike I got from Game Pass. It's really good. I got pretty hooked on it for a while there. My Hero was doing crazy damage and stopping bosses on the second level, but then, eventually, that boss shows up who wrecks house and sends you to the locker room. You get to keep your deck and upgrades but you start the levels from the beginning. I really liked it. 

Beholder: This is an interesting adventure game where you play as an informer for a despotic government. You run an apartment building and have to spy on everyone and report it to the authorities. It's pretty dark, but you can choose to be lenient and not tell them everything. It's kind of scary as this situation actually existed in post-WWII Poland and Stalin's Russia. Who knows, it could appear again. Yikes. I had some trouble with though. I couldn't figure out how to watch my cameras once I installed them. Sure, I could report what people said to me, and sneak in their rooms and find out dirty secrets, but the real dirt is in the cameras. Sheesh! What am I doing?

The Little Acre: This is a point-and-click adventure game I got off Game Pass. I couldn't get out of the first room. That's how annoying it was for me. Don't you hate it when you've clicked and combined everything and nothing seems to work? Grrrrr. 

Cities Skylines: For a rewards quest I put up with this for 50 in-game days. I built some roads and zoned some land and watched buildings be built. Then I couldn't figure out how to supply them water and sewage facilities. I built them, but something was wrong. This game is very detailed and they do not guide you very well in the beginning. I left after the 50 days. 

Plants Vs. Zombies Battle For Neighborville: For a rewards quest but I got really into it. You roam a town as one of the pea shooters from the original strategy game I liked so much. In real-time, you shoot zombies and all sorts of additional creatures that attack you. There are collectibles to find and quests to follow in the single player mode. The boss battles were surprisingly fun and challenging. 

NHL 20: Simulated the Flyers/Penguins game that happened tonight. My game was 3/2 Flyers in overtime. The real game was 3/2 Flyers after only one period. I don't know what was the final result but my prediction is surely wrong. 

Middle Earth Shadow of War: Just in there for 75 kills. It's fun but fight too long and you get surrounded and pounded by higher level minions. Stealth is not my bag. I battled like a madman until I hit 75 and bagged out. 

What'll I play tomorrow? Who knows. I just downloaded Chess on Xbox.

I reviewed and beat The Little Acre a few years ago but I don't remember much about it now.

I got to the point in that first room where you are in bed, dressed, with a half sandwich and a stick; the dog has rolled over, and your sister has rolled off the last piece of clothing you need to leave the room. I can't do anything else. So I guess I die in there forever unable to leave my bed.

I'd really like to get into a really complicated sim game like Skylines sometime. I used to be into that stuff when I was younger, but never seem to find the time to try it now.

There have been certain sim games I've really liked. They tended to be just a notch simpler than the hardcore ones like Zoo Tycoon.

Cities Skylines, is that like Sim City? If so I might give it a try.

I liked Middle Earth but I stopped playing it. At least you played an honorable game, I used a cheat mod on PC and ran through like Superman...that could be a reason why I stopped playing it.

It's totally like Sim City. It even has a scenario mode with disasters and stuff to defend against. 

That could be fun. I love how the orc leaders taunt you and level up if they beat you. It's easy to get caught by a high-level one though. You have to pick your fights, I think.
