What a gift the Croatians gave me for my birthday! True, for now it’s only on PC and some Stadia, so while I wait for it to come out on my console — I’ll replay the third one again.

My Logitech G930 headphones are not without their issues — the battery has weakened, the sound drops out occasionally, and there’s no alternative connection method besides their own USB dongle — yet they remain the only ones that connected to the PlayStation (for some reason Sony’s console refused to see my Sony headphones over Bluetooth).
