Persona 4 is one part dungeon crawler, one part social sim, and while fighting bizarre occult monstrosities with your very own was a gay old time, where this game really shines is in the social Japanese high school student simulator part of the game. The characters were the heart of the game, accompanying you through this sub-100 journey, which may be a tad bit too long. I will give this game 16 Amazing Commodities from President Tanaka.

This game is a must for its writing. Where in most games you have a handful of skills for speech, here you have 20, each playing a role in your inner thoughts and changing the way dialogue plays out, and even for a text based RPG, it really pushed the envelope in terms of what video game writing can be. I give it 10 out of 10, hardcore mega to the max.

As a working adult, few games can make me feel like a kid again. Outer Wilds is one of those games, just a wonderful video game experience, bringing together narrative and mechanics in an incredibly unique way. Don't read anything more about it and play it now. I give it 10 eyes out of 10.

Finding Paradise picks up where To The Moon left off, with Dr. Rosaline and Dr. Watts returning as Sigmund Corp employees to once again, fulfill the wishes of a dying man.

As a huge fan of To The Moon when it came out a long six years ago, and a slightly smaller fan of A Bird Story, I picked up this game once I realised it was out. Kan Gao delivers another memorable and stirring tale, along with the familiar charming visuals and poignant music (Piano and Cello this time!). Laughs, dread, tears, wonder, surprise and even horror do not begin to scratch the tip of the emotional iceberg that is this story-driven experience. That said, while To The Moon was powerful and arguably melodramatic, Finding Paradise finds paradise in moments of thought and reflection, so those looking to relive the tear-jerking journey of the former will find themselves, only slightly, disappointed.

Nonetheless, I give this game 8.5/10 tears.

When Gabe Newell plays basketball and tries to shoot 3 points, he gets 2 points episode one instead.

tldr; buy this game!

One of the best games i have ever played. Great atmophere, great physics, great characters, and a story relevant to times.

Even after years, Grand Theft Auto IV remains a wonderful experience to return to, offering a plot centering around immigration and corruption, and the playground of Liberty City to drive and shoot to your heart's content. Havok physics is a blast to play with, resulting in destruction and damage that to this day is still the best in any GTA game. Grimy and gritty, definitely an open world game anything should play once.

Definitely one of the best online shooters out there, still going strong after 3 years.
