Showing 1-8 of 8 items

NieR Replicant

1. NieR Replicant

They let you now skip the sand village tour; instantly 10x better than the original! Like most PC-ports coming out of Japan, expect to install community performance fixes. (PC)

Stellaris

2. Stellaris

Addictive and challenging (PC)

Resident Evil Village

3. Resident Evil Village

Another great RE game. Visually it was amazing; had a proper rig to play it with ray tracing, HDR, 144hz, ou la la~ The first half of this game was amazing, but i guess in typical RE fashion, it kinda loses it's steam thereafter. The first half felt like RE7 while the later parts felt more like RE5, landing it right in the middle overall. RE2 > RE7 > RE0 > RE3 = RE8 > RE1 > RE5 > RE6 (PC)

Metroid Dread

4. Metroid Dread

Great gameplay loop, story doesn't get in the way, short & sweet. Pretty similar to how I felt about DOOM. Only wished the music was on par (PC)

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers

5. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers

I was in the mood for an SMT game so I enjoyed my playthrough. As with all SMT games, this one has a nice cast of characters, good plot, and a solid challenge (PC)

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux

6. Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux

Aside from the end dragging on and the final boss requiring heavy grinding, was solid. Alex is top tier waifu. (PC)

Dead or Alive 6

7. Dead or Alive 6

About what I expected. They censored the bounce so never bothered to get it until it was on sale at $5. Haven't played it too much yet, but will probably pick it up now and then as the counter system is still satisfying (PC)

Resident Evil: Revelations

8. Resident Evil: Revelations

Bought because (a) it was on sale and (b) it was the only RE game left I had to play... speed ran it because I had no interest in actually playing it but felt I needed to :/ (PC)
