Good little puzzle game, though I couldn't 100% it because achievements stopped working for me. I recommend it for any fans of puzzle games.

Sekiro has the greatest melee combat system in any game I've ever played. It is difficult to learn at first, especially if you've got leftover habits from the souls games, but the pure gameplay experience offered by Sekiro cannot be replicated anywhere else.

Additionally, the lore and world design are incredible, as is always the case with FromSoft. I also recommend playing the game in Japanese with english subtitles, as the english dub is of much lower quality compared to the japanese version.

Dark Souls 3 and its DLCs feature far and away the best boss fights in the entire trilogy. It is a must-play for any FromSoft fan. I could rave about the boss design in this game for hours.

Dark Souls 2 is a very different experience compared to both previous and later FromSoft titles. There is a heavy focus on mixing melee and ranged combat, fighting multiple enemies at once, and positioning in fights. There is far less of a focus on properly timed dodging sequences as the game in general handles slower than the others, enemies have less complex move sets to compensate for an overall increased number of enemies in the world, and character build variety has greatly improved. I'd even go as far as saying the build variety in Dark Souls 2 is the best out of the Dark Souls series.

Go into it with an open mind and it should be an enjoyable experience for any souls fan. I grow fonder of it with each playthrough.

Dark Souls is an incredible introduction to the design philosophies of From Software. Highly recommended for anyone who is not easily frustrated while playing games. It is an incredibly rewarding experience for the persistent player and one of the greatest games of all time.

It's not for everyone, but if it clicks with you, the experience is second to none.

An absolute classic, the original Bioshock was a game-changing blend of RPG, FPS, and immersive sim that kept me hooked through every twist and turn. Everything about this game was fantastic, and anyone who claims to love video gaming should give this a playthrough. 10/10

Also, I'll admit I was a bit disappointed by the remaster, all it did was improve some of the textures, but not even in a drastic kind of way.

If you told me that DOOM would be getting a reboot before I saw anything about this game, I probably would have shrugged and ignored it after whatever DOOM 3 was. That opinion was completely reversed by the trailer for this game alone, but the gameplay and the soundtrack kept me hooked enough for me to 100% the game with all secrets, which is not usually a thing I tend to do. It's overshadowed by its sequel in terms of gameplay and variety, but DOOM 2016 was an incredible game in its own respect. It's a must-play for any old school shooter fans. 9.5/10

My playtime on this game should say it all. Rarely does an RPG captivate me for 100+ hours, but that time flew by with this game. I've heard people had issues with the intro of the game, but honestly I was captivated pretty much the whole way through. A must play for any RPG fan. 10/10

This was by far the best game of 2019. It has a captivating story, fantastic world design, impressive astrophysics, and (mostly) clever puzzles. The ending is satisfying as hell and it definitely will make you feel things throughout, and man, that soundtrack! Aside from a few slightly annoying puzzle solutions that were nowhere near bad enough to get upset about, I love absolutely everything about this game and I've been shilling it at my friends for weeks now. Anyone with even the smallest sense of adventure left in their heart needs to play this one. 10/10
