The Callisto Protocol

1. The Callisto Protocol

GoldenEye 007

2. GoldenEye 007

Not so much of a remaster as I might have hoped (it plays more like an emulation) but that said it is extremely true to my memory of playing it in the 90s and the nostalgia factor alone is a huge plus.

Persona 5 Royal

3. Persona 5 Royal

Massive. Long. Enjoyable played in short chunks. Perfect Steam Deck game.

Dead Space

4. Dead Space

One of those remasters that feels very faithful to your memory of the original but actually is a very significant upgrade in terms of gameplay experience. However, it can't feel 'fresh' because we basically know what's happening throughout... more or less. It works well though. Definitely worth playing and probably a stronger experience overall than The Callisto Protocol

Hogwarts Legacy

5. Hogwarts Legacy

Not bad. HP fans may appreciate it more than I did. Very competent game though that keeps you interested throughout but not hooked.... and not really wanting more by the end.

Sons of the Forest

6. Sons of the Forest

TBD

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

7. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

An accomplished and well balanced action adventure

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

8. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Even better than its predecessor.

Miasma Chronicles

9. Miasma Chronicles

really neat... enjoying this quite a lot 4/5

Aliens: Dark Descent

10. Aliens: Dark Descent

good lord... the stress... the stress... Very good RTS game though. Extremely well made. Just have to know when playing it that about 2/3 of the way in, the best thing you can do to yourself for your sanity is to restart the game, armed with the knowledge, that you have developed from playing it, but armed with it at the beginning. THe reason that this matters is because the margins are so small, and the end game requires you to have been playing this game well and correctly from the start in order to be possible. You cannot finish the game properly otherwise.
