Cyberpunk 2077

1. Cyberpunk 2077

What the hell happened here? Ambition and bad managment probably, you can basically see the content being cut as you play it. I would like to immerse myself more, read all the notes and do all the gigs but the game feels so off it's not enjoyable. Will revisit with DLC and patches because the artistry on display is insane.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon

2. Yakuza: Like a Dragon

Like all Yakuza games, I had some problems with this one. However, considering it's a new city, characters and battle system I can let some things slide. The beginning was especially gripping, mainly because of how well realised the characters are, Arakawa especially. Very excited to see where the franchise goes from here. Ichiban is a great replacement for Kiryu and I was pleasantly surprised by how emotional he is compared to other Yakuza protaganists.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

3. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

This game has a really insane level of detail, great storytelling and fun gameplay but god damn the ending. I was pretty invested in the characters and setting but the game just ends with no resolution for anyone, seems like it was supposed to lead straight into a 3rd game but Youngblood just veers off storywise. There's also a lot of mechanics that feel underused because of how short the game ends up being if you don't do optional missions which are just backtracking to previous areas. Worth playing but a heartbreaking case of missed potential.

Anno 1800

4. Anno 1800

Played this when it came out but now with so much stuff added it's got a really insane amount to do. This game is an absolute masterpiece, incredibly beautiful and inspiring. Not much more to say other than it's an absolute steal if you like citybuilders or production chain games.

Hitman 3

5. Hitman 3

More Hitman, each level has a little twist that makes them pretty interesting and unique. Love this franchise and am amazed it's gotten 3 great entries since 2016. Worth every penny.

Surviving Mars

6. Surviving Mars

Cool colony builder but maybe a bit too easy to get a sustainable colony going then its just tedious expansion

Devil May Cry 5

7. Devil May Cry 5

I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING

Tyranny

8. Tyranny

Furthest I've made it in a CRPG, I like the setting, story and dialogue but just cannot enjoy the combat after a point. Real time with pause sucks don't try to change my mind because I'm right

Overcooked!

9. Overcooked!

Smashed this one out with a friend, finally finished after getting halfway through a bunch of times, a good time and a good amount of content if you can get the complete collection. Would reccomend some drinks for this one

Curse of the Dead Gods

10. Curse of the Dead Gods

Is it a Hades ripoff? A little bit, but there's nothing wrong with taking cues from a great game. There's very little active story but there is a beastiary that updates as you go through. Gameplay is chunky and satisfying with decent variety. Not a mega masterpiece but a fun time for 15 dollarydoos
