my 2023 list for posterity
my 2023 list for posterity
A few things to know about this list are that I was very demotivated to play much single player games this year, especially in the back half. The chief victim of this being Horizon forbidden west, and a lot of interesting story based indie games that I otherwise might enjoy a lot. 10. Overwatch 2 This game barely qualifies and only because I needed 10 games to fulfill my own sickness and make t...
Caveats and stuff Endwalker-I mostly couldn’t play this game when it came out due to queue times and errors kicking me out of line. Once I finally got in I was greeted by a very typical mmo expansion starting quests i.e boring tedious discussions and errands that have little to nothing to do with the story I care about. However! As always they are beginning to pay it off here at about the 40% m...
Honorable mentions Fuser -This thing might be a bad "game" the story and campaign ranges from uninteresting to actively bad, but these tools are truly amazing and are worth experiencing and playing with. Mortal shell -Just a good souls-like with some great ideas and execution. Bleeding Edge -I remain sad that Microsoft and ninja theory sent this out to die. Deep rock Galactic , Legends of Runet...
What a weird ass year for games, it included a couple of my favorite releases that i think stand the test of time, right alongside some of my most disappointing experiences in gaming ever. Honorable mentions-They are billions, Mordhau, Slay the spire-These games made an impact and saved me from putting more time than i should into the two disappointing loot games that wont be mentioned here. Li...
This year felt insane both in terms of bullshit happening to me and the rest of the world, it also seems like it was the longest year of my life. I was shocked to find out that not only monster Hunter world but also Dragonball fighterz and far cry 5 all came out early this year which feels like a lifetime ago. Before getting into my list I have to say my dishonorable mentions is nearly as long...
With the Release of the Oculus Rift, most of us are getting our first glimpse at what these headsets are capable of, after hearing how incredible it looks and how amazing it is to occupy these spaces i think we were all excited to see how it actually worked once you got it out of the box. I think for some of us that excitement led to a bit of forgetfulness about how new this technology is, and...
Its odd when a writer you like passes away, as Ryan has, i haven’t been a member of Giant Bomb very long, but i have been digging the site for a while, and have made up time by watching old TNT, and other live shows. That fact that i am so profoundly upset, yet haven’t met him or even known of him very long is at odds with the void that i know he has left. I suppose it ultimately comes down to...

Horns, was a very compelling story. Joe Hill is a master of forcing you to think, of thrilling you, and frankly terrifying you. Being afraid while reading a book is so different from how “scary movies" operate. books seem to operate on creating empathy, and connecting you to the characters. obviously they have more time to do so than a movie, but i feel horror films should be known by the new m...

In a time before, before the juggernaut of savings and convenience that Steam is, before you simply had to slot in your components, before you could just download a mod, and have it work; I played pc games. I try not to imbibe the heady drug that is nostalgia, but its hard to look upon those days in the mid to late 90s when i played counter strike until the world was nothing but dust and magnum...
