So I signed up for the PC Game Pass for $1, and I'll give Outer Worlds a shot next week if my computer can run it. Might play Void Bastards or Gears 5 with it, too.

I want to try Control but I'm like 75% sure my computer would struggle with it, and it sounds like it doesn't run great on the regular PS4, either.

@liquiddragon: Oh shit, I forgot about PC game pass!

@liquiddragon: Maybe! I only have a PS4. :(

I'll be honest, it's tempting to plunk down the $60 for Outer Worlds just to be in the loop for GOTY, and because I love Fallout.

But I also kind of want to just spend $20 and play Yakuza 0.

So, I usually don't get around to getting new games until I hear the GOTY deliberations. I may buy one or two here or there, but now that I'm back in school I have less time than usual and I just haven't gotten anything new this year.

I'm getting antsy though. I'd like to get something, but I'm not sure what to go with. What are the 2019 essentials so far? I'm generally a fan of RPGs, and I like really tight shooters on the PC but not the consoles. Overall though, what am I gonna wish I'd played this year when I look back five years from now?

Supplemental question: How does Borderlands 3 hold up if you only play solo?

EDIT: Supplemental question 2: If somebody was excited about the upcoming Yakuza game entirely because they find Alex's Yakuza-mania endearing, where the heck is a good starting place for the other games? I probably only have time to play one before the new one comes out next year.
