Sonic Frontiers is so much better than it has any right to be and I hope you get to play it.

Games Beaten
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (Switch)
Shredder's Revenge is awesome! The pixel art is so vibrant and detailed and the music is just spot on for the franchise. The gameplay is simple enough that I could play it with my 4-year-old but has enough depth that I did not get bored. The 6-player co-op is nuts but tons of fun, especially with kids! The game might be just a tad long and I haven't played it enough times to say how it stacks against Turtles in Time but it's a great game any way you slice it.
Games Bought
February was a slow month...until we got our tax return! It was finally time to upgrade to PlayStation 5, but the slight detail here is that we needed TWO of them because my wife and I play Destiny together (the other people in our group had already upgraded and the benefits of playing on the PS5 were pretty starkly obvious). Naturally, we bought some games too! My wife finally picked up Horizon: Forbidden West. She loved the first game but put off getting the PS4 version of the sequel and can now reap the rewards of the more powerful hardware. I got Yakuza: Like a Dragon (not to self: finally play Yakuza 0), my kids asked for Sonic Frontiers (which I might play as well), and my wife also grabbed a copy of Elden Ring. Supposedly that one is pretty good 
In addition to that, one of the PS5s also came with a digital copy of God of War: Ragnarok (fun fact: Between digital and physical I have every GoW game but have not played any of them yet).
Then there is PS+...which I didn't take anything from in February...but having a PS5 gives me access to the PlayStation Plus Collection, from which I grabbed: Monster Hunter: World, Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition, Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy, and Mortal Kombat X. Will I ever actually play these games??!? Maybe, and that's good enough for now.
Oh, also my physical copy of Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 (Switch) came in February.
Games Being Played
-Blaster Master Zero 3 (Switch)
I think I'm coming into the endgame of this NES-ish action game.
-Picross S Genesis & Master System Edition (Switch)
Playing Picross remains delightful.
-Destiny 2 (PS5)
The new yearly expansion, Lightfall, just came out but I haven't had a chance to play it yet. Looking forward to it!
-Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (Switch)
I understand we have made it to the final stretch of the game. I also understand that grind through here is very long O_O
