Not great. Hard to understand book with characters that don't stand out, I didn't find myself rooting for anyone. The constant perspective shifts and massive cast of characters made it hard to follow. Also why was dumdum in this book? Weird fan service. Overall, I was expecting good things since all of the CDPR cyberpunk storytelling via the game and anime is wonderful. This book just did not hit, didn't really ever feel like I knew what was happening, not an enjoyable read.

I honestly don't get the mixed reviews, I had a blast playing this game. I also don't get the people saying they want to turn all the effects off, it's one of the best things about the game imo. Also the characters aren't that bad and I found most of the jokes landed pretty well. NFS unbound is great arcade racer designed to be flashy and fun with a simple yet engaging story. Sure it aint perfect, but its the best arcade racer I've played in a long time. Much better than any Forza Horizon game. The only arcade racing game I remember enjoying more than this one is Burnout Takedown 3.

Finally finished Zelda BOTW and while it is a good game it's definitely not a 10/10 and the amount of universal praise it has is strange. It is frustrating, repetitive, and tedious alot of the time with a weak story and characters. The combat and puzzle mechanics are great, and the world is nice, however it's not the best looking game world I've seen, in fact far from it which is probably more due to the switch's power limitations but still to give the game 10/10 is weird. It's good, but it's no masterpiece.
