XCOM 2.
I'm leading humanity to catastrophe, losing even the easy missions.
I have two soldiers alive, just got through the 'last stand' mission with a crew of pure rookies on basic equipment, but I've no supplies, intel, one engineer and no scientists, and I can't get more because if I send my two survivors on a mission they'll be slaughtered.

I just picked it up for Xbox, but I haven’t actually tried it out yet. I’m trying to finish Halo 5 first. I’m behind in my backlog, lol.

Same here. I went a little crazy this year with buying games (for me). Haven't played Skyrim, FF12 Zodiac Age, Assassin's Creed Origins and all the games I had added to my NES, SNES and Playstation classics

Holy crap X Com 2 is difficult, even with cheating reloading saves. (Please nobody give advice, failure is a important part of the experience.)
My soldiers aren't strong enough to win missions, which you need to get supplies and intelligence. I was busy scrambling to stay alive for a long time, which meant I left the Avatar project go because I knew attacking was hopeless without stronger soldiers. I thought I was finally starting to get a handle on it... and then archons show up.

I've been playing the PS4 release of FFIX and it just hit me yesterday that the Yeti monster looks like a relative of Steve Tyler.

Finished X Com. This is one of the greatest games I've ever encountered, and a contender for top of the list. It's so damned great, although I had to do a lot of cheating to get through. It's so high stress.

Just played a free demo called Blocky Dungeon on itch.io, which crosses dungeon crawling with tetris. Gotta clear 8 lines (on the first and only level available at least) to create an exit, while killing enemies and avoiding traps and making sure you're not actually on the line when it is cleared 
. One can find themselves trapped at times, so clearing lines and placing down other blocks can free you, etc. I had fun for the few minutes that I played it .

Set up my PS4 Pro (first ever current gen console! 
) and booted up Dragon Age: Inquisition. I've been using the soundtrack in my D&D game for 5 years, and although I missed Dragon Age 2 I was able to plug in my choices into Dragon Age Keep. I am LOVING Inquisition so far. All of the problems I had with Origins are absent here: no constant misogyny, my character has a voice, the party members are actually interesting, I can't see the zones end-to-end, and the main threat isn't urgent/bleak enough to suck the fun out of exploring. The combat is giving me Baldur's Gate vibes in the best way -- I've turned off party AI completely and never leave tactical mode. The cutscenes are still BioWare levels of uncanny valley, but the visual detail of the combat is just gorgeous (made all-the-more gorgeous by my slow scrubbing forward in Tactical mode).

I really wish there was an option to just pay a bucket load of Gil to the Chocobo Hot and Cold Moogle, for a corresponding amount of time. I enjoy the minigame but find the constant stop-start annoying

Found Horizon Zero Dawn for $10 so I thought I'd give it a shot. Interesting so far.

Went back to Nioh to get the few trophies I had left--and I did get them--but now I'm stuck in the Abyss with no end in sight and I kinda dig it. This game is my jam.

I bought:
Steins;Gate Elite + Steins;Gate Linear Bounded Phenogram bundle
VA-11 Hall-A (Vallhalla)
West of Loathing
For about $45 bucks via the steam sale. I've realized this is pretty much the only time of the year that I buy and play games. They were on my wishlist for a while. I have been playing Vallhalla and it's a really great way to relax and disappear into something. It also has an amazing SMT-inspired soundtrack and a surprising amount of Seinfeld references.
I'm excited to play the Steins;Gate bundle because Elite is full of animated sequences, unlike the original, and Phenogram is all new content. West of Loathing is an inexpensive funny game that my roommate recommended to me.

I got The Sinking City for christmas, it's a pretty decent game; it has its flaws, combat is clunky, graphics are janky etc etc, but it's a compelling game and so far seems to do the source material justice, if only because so far it's avoided jump scares in favor of a constant feeling of unease and discomfort.

I've been playing Death Stranding for the last while, aka the mountain hiking simulator (to me that's a good thing, mind you).
While it shouldn't have been a surprise, this game as triggered so many Qu'est-ce que fuck?
