I really dig mythical Chinese fantasy. I've been meaning to play Jade Empire (I have it on my ipad) but I keep putting it off.
I've been sampling a bunch of stuff, but most seriously playing GTA5, RDR2, and Tales of Zestriria.

Games Beaten
-Samurai Aces (Switch)
Samurai Aces is a game from a mold. It feels very much like its sister game Gunbird but with a mythical Chinese theme instead of a steampunk Japanese one, though it still had a lot of mech bosses lol. It plays identically with Gunbird but I don't like the levels or bosses as much. It felt harder and less friendly and I felt no urge to play it multiple times, unlike Gunbird or Strikers 1945. It is competent and mechanically sound but very by the numbers and stale.
Games Bought
April, compared to March, was such a simple month of purchases. Both involved my wife finding things at thrift shops. First there was Fire Emblem Warriors (Switch) brand new—still sealed— for $10 and later she found Troll and I (Switch), which intrigued her enough top spend the $1 it cost lol. It appears to be some sort of action adventure game where you control a human and a big troll creature. Supposedly pretty decent. And that's it! 
Games Being Played
-Sakura Wars (PS4)
I made great progress on this game through most of the month, getting to the end of Chapter 6 (there are...7 or 8 chapters...can't remember which). The busyness of life has kept me from playing this last week or so but hopefully I can get back to it soon.
-Dragon's Crown Pro (PS4)
The road to Platinum has stalled out a little bit. I have three trophies left to get before that last pop and they're tough or tedious.
-Picross S2 (Switch)
I'm over halfway through the normal puzzles!
-Shantae: Half-Genie Hero (Switch)
Finally started this game. I miss the pixel art but the new graphics are certainly gorgeous. Not sure yet how I feel about the structure of the game—looks like going back into previously beaten levels with new abilities is a big part of the game—but it plays as well as ever and still has a great sense of humor.
