Fable is truly one of my all-time favorite games. I have countless fond memories of it, and it’s hard to put into words just how much this epic journey, infused with lots of humor, means to me. Yes, the game has aged, and the gameplay might seem simple by today’s standards, but there’s a timeless charm, care, and attention to detail that make this game nothing short of a masterpiece in my eyes. It's an undeniable classic that I’ll always love.

Dragon Age: Origins is the "Lord of the Rings" of fantasy games. An epic adventure, much like the stories you know from fantasy books. Great characters, solid gameplay (though a bit dated now), and a lot of replayability value. The replayability comes mostly from the many different branching choices in-game, which actually matter and impact the story. Plenty of game hours for a small price. Especially during a sale, it's an absolute must if you're even remotely into fantasy.

HOWEVER: This Steam version doesn't work immediately after installation. A 4GB RAM patch is required due to memory leaks, which cause the game to crash frequently. There are YouTube videos and simple guides on how to fix this, and it only takes a few minutes.

Additionally, the DLCs are not activated by default; you need to run two .exe files in the game folder to enable them, just as a heads-up.

Aside from these two issues, this game is a true masterpiece. The DLCs are hit or miss, but the base game, Origins, is exceptional. A must-play!

Everything after the first Dragon Age Game is unfortunately bad, so I'd stay away from it. There's only one Dragon Age game and it's this one, no matter what anyone says. :)

Wow, what a game! Make sure you’ve played the first Ori game before playing this one.

It’s probably one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played — pure eye candy! Compared to the first game, which focused primarily on movement, this one goes deeper into combat (in addition to movement, of course), offering a variety of weapons and abilities, along with some fun boss fights.

The levels are non-linear, meaning you can tackle them in any order you prefer. It’s not one of the most challenging games, just like the first Ori game, except when it comes to your feels!
The game delivers a great story and a continuation of the first game, with a perfect ending for the series.
You can’t ask for more, highly recommended!

Stunning art direction, great levels and dungeons. Most importantly, very smooth movement and gameplay. One of the better Metroidvanias out there!

Make sure to play the Definitive Edition instead of this one. New abilities and other improvements make the Definitive Edition the far superior version to play.

A Metroidvania with stunning hand-painted visuals and a great soundtrack. The game is easier than some others in the genre, but sometimes that's exactly what one needs! Zelda-like temples and well-thought-out levels with secrets are all there. The movement is smooth, and the more abilities you unlock, the more fun the game becomes. Rushing through levels and using many different abilities is a blast. The story, told with little dialogue and emotional music, is simple but effective. Very heartwarming. Highly recommended for its art and enjoyable gameplay.

For the best experience, use the Dead Space MouseFix. If you get stuck somewhere due to a bug, try turning V-Sync on or off and playing at the correct Hz setting, as some events are tied to the framerate. Besides that, and despite being released in 2008, Dead Space is still fantastic. It may have a few rough spots, but it offers everything you could want: an amazing atmosphere, a great story, unique mechanics, thrilling moments, enjoyable shooting, and a variety of weapons that offer replayability. It's truly a timeless classic and a must-play in my opinion.

A bizarre game for bizarre people. Walking around and finding interesting things in weird worlds is the core element of this game. It's a piece of art from an older gaming era.

Not once was "Mamma mia" said. There was only one pizza, and that was in a loading screen. There was no spaghetti at all.

Aside from these disappointments, the game was otherwise very solid. If I had had this game on the family computer back then, I would have spent hours driving around the beautifully made city and doing nonsense GTA-style.

The story is great, the missions are varied, and there's a lot of driving, but you play as a driver for the Mafia, so that makes sense. You can collect cars, nice old-timers. Driving felt "real"; those old cars, for example, have trouble driving uphill, which was funny to me. Love the detail.

Shootouts were tough overall. They felt like in mobster movies, very old-school cinema style. Even though the graphics haven't aged the best, it didn't bother me at all. For a 2002 game, it looks fantastic. There are always mods to enhance the game if someone doesn't like it.

The characters and story were great, and you could easily make a Hollywood movie out of it.

Missions weren't always easy, especially because of "old game jank" like enemy AI or some other randomness. The last mission was brutal; I spent a looooong time on it. I think it's a mission where many people quit who aren't used to old game difficulty. So a good amount of stubbornness is needed to complete the game.

Apparently, the remaster, Mafia Definitive Edition, is superior to this old version in every way. So if you want to buy Mafia 1, go for the remaster version. But if this game is free on Steam again, I can only recommend it. Or if it's on sale for a very low price.

Prey is an excellent example of atmospheric storytelling with captivating gameplay. It creates a rich and immersive sci-fi world that grabs your attention right from the start.

The gameplay combines exploration, combat, and puzzle-solving in a satisfying way. You get to use a variety of abilities, weapons, and tools, allowing you to approach challenges from different angles. The level design is impressive, with interconnected areas that encourage exploration and reward creative problem-solving.

Visually, the game looks amazing. Prey has a beautiful retro-futuristic style that makes it visually unique.

If you enjoy immersive sim games or a good sci-fi thriller, Prey is a must-play. It's among the best. It offers an engaging story, deep gameplay, and a world that's fun to explore. Highly recommended!

Not worth your money or your time — the multiplayer game is dead; no players are active anymore!

The concept itself is interesting — playing hide and seek as a Mimic while someone else hunts you, or playing as the hunter against 5 other Mimics. However, it's definitely not worth 20 bucks and should have been free-to-play to attract more players and make it at least somewhat playable.

There's also a VR puzzle game that, according to other reviews, provides a maximum of 1-2 hours of gameplay.

If you're a completionist like me and got the Deluxe Version, you can complete it 100% with a friend, but it takes a while.
