After 20 hours of manually placed footsteps… Baby Steps is complete! Probably one of my favorite games this year, the story was thin but the writing was hilarious and kept me climbing to reach the next cutscene. The credits screen shows a dotted line of your path as you went and, since I played with my partner, we were constantly laughing as the dot rolled down hills and reminded us of our tumbles. If you have patience and are okay with occasional immature humor it’s worth a play. I thought the ending was perfect for what the game was.
I also finished Sniper Elite V2, it was good but showed its age. The new games were still too expensive so I got the Zombie Army Trilogy (an offshoot of the Sniper Elite series) for $5 as the autumn sale ended and have been having fun kicking skeletons apart
What’s Dying Light like? I played the first a bit and had fun, but haven’t been following the series lately
I really like dying light! The first game is one of my favorite zombie games. Above average open world game imo. Dying light 2 is decent but not as fun as the first imo. The beast so far has been really fun though. None of the games are anything too special, but the combat and parkour are pretty satisfying
Is it still mostly melee combat? Games with good melee are tough to come by, and I remember the first being pretty good with all the running and jumping
Yeah definitely mostly melee. The way enemies respond to hits in different parts of their body is suuuuper satisfying haha. There are guns and bows and arrows but ammo is pretty sparse
The PS2 Ace Combat games (4/5/Zero) are still best-in-genre as far as I'm concerned, and have held up exceedingly well in general. Aerial dogfighting with good controls, good mission design and interesting story.
Sky Odyssey is a more "relaxed" little flight game that I also like, still got game-like controls but no combat, just missions where you fly through hard situations.
It depends on whether piracy is in the mix. If it is, that opens up assorted unofficially translated games. Super Robot Wars: Original Generations, for instance, if you are into strategy mecha games.
Metal Saga might appeal if you are into sandbox RPGs and a lover of tanks. Also, dogs with rocket launchers on their back.

So Final Fantasy games are often unrelated to one another. Meaning you can just pick whichever to start. Although Final Fantasy X has a direct sequel, that being Final Fantasy X-2.
Next is about Mega Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. Even though you have it listed I still mention it because Subsistence includes:
Metal Gear
Metal Gear 2
Being the most recommended versions of those games. (Not including Nintendo’s recent ports)
Aotenjo: infinite hands is essentially balatro but with mahjong. There’s many more hand types and ways to specialize your Wall (deck). I highly recommend it
Luck be a Landlord is like a slot machine version of Balatro.
You select randomly generated symbols to add to your slot machine in order to get more money with each spin in order to have enough to pay the increasing “rent” at the end of each level.
Raccoin is a coin pusher rougelike. I thought the game was out in early access or it had a demo, but it turns out they just did a play test for August. Hope it gets the full release soon, it was pretty fun
I always watch at least 10+ gameplay videos and critiques before buying games, especially AAA. For indies, I don’t do it as much, more like “surprise me” kind of experience.
I have a bit of an odd one for you; Ephemeral Fantasia. It’s a jrpg for very eclectic tastes. It’s a game in which you’re dealing with time loops. You can think of it as a mix between Groundhog Day and your average jrpg. Little bit like Majora’s Mask but more extreme I’d say.
