    I'm about 2/3 through Disco Elysium. It felt a little slow at first and is 99% dialog. However, the story has really kicked in and some of the revelations about the world of the game are pretty mind-blowing. Can't wait to finish a full playthrough.

    I just played Dredge over the weekend and loved it. It's a fun little fishing simulator combined with a Lovecraftian series of quests into the eldritch horrors that lurk beneath the surface.

    The Mistborn series is fantastic. The setting is so interesting and it makes the world almost a character. The depth Sanderson puts into the various magic systems makes them seem not only realistic but scientific.

    Sanderson has crafted a unique setting and magic system in his series The Stormlight Archive as well. He also puts interesting spins on class and caste systems in both series. And since it's all part of the cosmere, it's all interrelated.

    Fall of Hyperion was definitely different from the 1st book since it's a little more action-oriented and there are a lot of moving parts. It ties up some of the various tales from the first book and has a somewhat shocking ending, which sets the stage for the later sequels. While I love Hyperion for the specific tales (especially Priest and Scholar), I end up thinking about the overall ending in Fall of Hyperion a lot so I definitely think it's worth finishing.
