Initially played this on PS4, it was so good that I had to buy it on PC, where I play to this day. Something about this game just is majestic. From the soundtrack to the gameplay to the stories in singleplayer to the classic battlefield multiplayer.

The singleplayer delivers an amazing story and the way the game starts off in general I think is genius. It opens up with you on the frontlines and says a simple message that I think its genius. It says “What follows is frontline combat. You are not expected to survive." It then places you in the position of a soldier in the frontlines, fighting to survive the incoming army. No matter how hard you fight in this, the enemies keep coming until you are eventually overwhelmed and die. Just then you switch to other soldiers in the frontline and the same thing repeats over and over. Whoever thought of this opening is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mastermind, the message at the beginning saying you are not expected to survive serves as a double meaning: 1. You are not supposed to "beat" this level, its just the opening and 2. You are a soldier fighting on the frontlines. You literally are not supposed to survive, your death is almost guaranteed. Then as it switches from soldier to soldier after every death, it shoes the brutality of war and how everyone doesn't survive and it hits you that most of the people you just played as are now corpses. They aren't the protagonist of the story, they are just a soldier of war who got gunned down in the frontlines. Battlefield 1 shows how gritty and horrifying war is. This is probably in my opinion, one of the greatest openings to a game in the history of video games.

Obviously, many things about the game are over exaggerated, especially in the multiplayer. Speaking of the multiplayer, when the game was announced at first, I was skeptical because I was so used to sights like an acog scope and things like that. I lamented having to use iron sights for most guns because holographic sights didn't exist back then. But I got very used to it, and in fact, I enjoyed it, the guns felt so real and every weapon felt good to use. I loved the operations game mode which became more popular than the traditional battlefield gamemode, conquest. It fit so well because World War 1 was all about trench warfare, and even if exaggerated in Battlefield 1, was so amazing when you had to get out of your trench and charge the enemy while orchestral music plays in the background with the whistle blowing and tanks rolling out. When I first witnessed this, it left me in awe. You could also play as almost every front, and the visuals, effects, and maps were gorgeous. This game 100% looks better than Batlefield 5 and feels better than BF5 as well. I could talk about this game more, but this review is already an essay. Along with Titanfall 2, I think Battlefield 1 stands up there as one of the greatest FPS games ever made.

Initially played this on Xbox 360 but later got it on PC. I forget how I got this game, but I think I got it from Xbox gold way back when (2012?). At first, like many people who first picked up Terraria, I thought it was 2D Minecraft. I later realized how wrong I was. Sure they share similar aspects like mining and building, but Terraria is more progression based.

I think the best part of Terraria as a kid was that there were so many different items and yet I was able to memorize them all and what they all did because I looked at the wiki and learned what each thing did. Even now I can recall what some of the items do because I loved the game so much I basically studied it.

What I loved about Terraria was that exploration is always unique. From exploring the Crimson to structures underground to other biomes to exploring floating islands, Terraria always had something to offer. There are so many different weapons, tools, and armor so everything always felt fresh and like there was a progression and things to work towards.

But what I loved the most was the fact that you had to fight bosses to progress, and the fact that there are so many bosses amazed me, being a kid that only played Minecraft, which had like two bosses. It was also awesome how NPCs appeared in your world and I was always excited whenever one did, and getting geared to fight bosses and getting magic weapons that do so much cool stuff was awesome.

There is always something to do in Terraria, more than most games. I really wish I could say more but I don't know what to say because Terraria is just that great. Who knows I might come back to this review to add more if I ever think of it.

Left 4 Dead 2 but with rats. Graphics are really good, but I don't understand the story at all, I guess I would have had to have played the first one, but yeah.

I swear im looking over my shoulder every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ minute

Solid bomberman clone

The best game about a bromance.

Becoming an alcoholic will allow you to tank so many bullets trust me

My first milsim, love it.

You'd be forgiven for thinking this is a horror game. It is not. It's a VRChat lobby minus the VR and everyone is dressed as SCPs.

I've sunk a lot of hours into this game, more than someone probably should, but I don't regret it. Hunting down the final SCP while someone plays "The Only Thing They Fear Is You" in the background or someone plays elevator music while they press the button to go down is amazing.

This is one of the most fun games I've ever played and the community is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hilarious. Only downside is that the game is very poorly optimized and you will probably get around 60 - 70 fps max even with a high end PC.

I've tried searching for games that combine both fun gameplay and a fun community/players and I haven't found anything like SCP: Secret Laboratory. The closest things I could find is VRChat (which doesn't rly have "gameplay") and Crab Game (Not a lot of people talk).

Locking my friends inside the house while the ghost hunts for them will never not be funny
