I started playing this again. I think I stopped because I was trying to be a completionist and it was bogging me down. Grabbing the absolutely necessary stuff isn't so bad.

I am somewhat torn on which I want to continue playing first because they both feel so absolutely wonderful to play.

Today is a pretty good day for games. While my copy of Miles Morales arrived, The Pathless is available on Apple Arcade. Looking forward to digging into The Pathless after I have spent some time with Spider-Man.
