    BG3 with my GF. After almost 200h we are closing the wrapping out first play through.

    Alone I recently started Nier Replicant after having played Automata last year. Different feel to it and the quests are fairly basic atm (go here, do that) but I owe it to the developers to play it.

      How has the coop experience been? We have been thinking about buying it and play it together too. Just gotta figure out the best setup for us first. Thinking about streaming the game from my PC to our Nvidia Shield Pro, then have two PS5 Controllers connected to the TV.

      Would be interested in hearing about what setup you went for :-)

        That would work

        We play it on my pc which is wired directly to the tv. We use 2 XBOX controllers but PS4 ones will work just as well.

        You will probably want to have a pretty big screen because it’s almost always split screen (except in some dialogues if that other player listens to the convo). However you can always set the fonts to a bigger size which is super helpful.

        Unfortunately it’s not like DOS 2 where the split screen merges when you are close together but that’s not the end of the world. The game has turn based combat so even if you have some streaming delays it’s not a big deal.

        Your frame rate will drop a bit on Act 3 but it gets better with every patch.

        If you have any more questions let me know.
