The Subject 2923 DLC adds a new world to the game, a new campaign and new equipment. This DLC has a decent amount of content, especially when compared to the Swamps of Corsus DLC. If you were interested in the story in the main game, the campaign in this DLC takes place after the events of the main game. The new world is also available in adventure mode. If you enjoyed the main game, I recommend taking a look at this DLC, especially when it's on sale.

The Swamps of Corsus DLC adds the survival mode, cosmetic armor skins, equipment and more dungeons and bosses in the Corsus area in adventure mode. Unfortunately, these new locations don't appear in the campaign version of Corsus. The survival mode is interesting since it is sort of like a rogue-like mode. This DLC doesn't add any story, but if you interested in Survival Mode and having more variety when replaying the game in Adventure Mode, it may be worth taking a look at. However, I don't recommend this DLC at full price. I only recommend considering it if it's on sale for at least half off.

Remnant: From the Ashes is a solid game that takes inspiration from the Souls games and from looter shooters. The game feels fun to play and there are a lot of weapons to choose from. In addition, each weapon can have a weapon mod, which is basically an ability. Some weapons have a set weapon mod that cannot be taken off, but others can have any weapons mods in your inventory. Along with armor sets, amulets and rings, there is a good amount of build variety in this game. Finding some of these pieces of equipment can be tricky though since they may be in a specific dungeon. The dungeon may not appear in your campaign and you may have to play adventure mode, rerolling several times until you get the dungeon. However, there's a good amount of replayability since the map is procedurally generated and you can get different dungeons.

If you are going to be playing solo, be aware that many of the bosses summon extra enemies. I played solo during my playthrough and some of the fights were annoying since I had to focus on the minions at times. The waves of minions that attacked me brought the experience down for me during these boss fights. However, if you play with other people, this issue may not be as bad.

Overall, if you are into the Souls games and are also in shooters, I highly recommend checking this game out. I recommend getting the Complete Edition over the Standard Edition if they’re both on sale. It may get frustrating at times as a solo player, but you can host and join a public lobby in order to play with others.

Pros

• +Decent combat system that takes inspiration from the Souls games, though it can feel floaty
  
• +Able to bring another NPC with you as a companion
  
• +A variety of blood codes, each with their own stats and abilities
  
• +Interesting storyline with multiple endings
  
• +Nice graphics
  
• +In-depth character creator

Cons

• -Weapon variety could be better
  
• -Some enemies feel too tough to stagger without using a heavy weapon
  
• -A certain area is feels drawn out since it is very maze-like
  
• -You cannot move quickly or skip through dialogue when restoring and viewing vestiges
  
• -Elevators sometimes gets stuck until you alt-tab out of the game (sometimes it takes a few alt-tabs to get it going)

Code Vein is an anime style souls-like game that lets you befriend some other NPCs and use abilities from certain characters. The abilities depend on the blood code you equip, which is sort of like a class. The combat is decent, though it feels like it lacks impact, making it feel a bit floaty. I used a greatsword, but it still felt like it lacked impact at times. However, playing with an NPC companion was fun. You have multiple NPCs to choose from and they can be a great aid in combat.

The storyline is interesting and there are multiple endings. You can also collect vestiges, which are basically memories from other characters. Viewing the memories from vestiges was interesting, but it felt slow at times since your character can only walk around and you cannot skip through the dialogue.

Overall, if you enjoy souls-like games and also like anime or anime style games, Code Vein is worth taking a look at when it’s on sale.

Pros

• +Amazing graphics
  
• +Three Spyro game remakes are included, meaning there’s a good amount of content to play through
  
• +Good gameplay
  
• +The gem finder ability (available in all three games) makes finding gems in levels much easier

Cons

• -The third game did not seem as good as the first two, but it was still decent
  
• -There were times when I could not control the camera even though I should have been able to
  
• -Physics is tied to fps. If your fps is very high, such as 144 fps, certain physics are affected, such as your max jump height. This can be a problem in certain areas, meaning you have to temporarily cap your fps to something low, such as 30 fps, in order to complete what you want to do.

Comments
Spyro: Reignited Trilogy consist of remakes of three Spyro games, which are Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. I have never played these games before, so the Reignited Trilogy was my first time experiencing these games. I enjoyed playing through all three games, though I did not like the third game as much as the first two. The only major complaint I have about the Trilogy is that having a high fps can affect certain physics. For example, there is one area in Spyro the Dragon where if your fps is too high, you won’t be able to make a jump since your max jump height is affected by the high fps. I had to cap my fps to 30 in order to get past this area. Thankfully, there were only a handful of times where I had to do this.

Overall, if you are into platformers and have never played the original Spyro trilogy, I recommend taking a look at this game, especially if it’s on sale. If you have played the original Spyro Trilogy, it may still be worth taking a look at this game.

Pros

• +Good weapon variety and a good amount of techniques to find
  
• +Quite a few different shards to use
  
• +Several different characters to play as

Cons

• -Combat itself is somewhat clunky and does not feel great, especially with certain weapons
  
• -Movement system feels stiff at first, but feels better as you unlock more abilities
  
• -Running speed is kind of slow
  
• -Story is not interesting

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a metroidvania that is considered a spiritual successor to Castlevania. When I first started playing the game, I found it to be a decent game. There is a good variety of weapons to choose from and you can get more shards, or abilities, to choose from. Unfortunately, as time went on, I found myself enjoying the game less and less. Miriam, the character you play, runs slowly and maneuvering her feels clunky. There are some abilities that help with this, but it still feels somewhat clunky. The combat itself got repetitive since your regular attacks cannot hit in all eight main directions. Some weapons don’t really have an issue with this, but others can have a difficult time without using an ability.

Overall, I cannot recommend picking this game up since I eventually became bored with the game’s combat and movement systems. I enjoyed other aspects of the game, such as the gear, crafting and shard systems, but I still stopped playing the game after a while. If you are a fan of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, it may be worth taking a look at this game. However, if you are not, I am not sure if you will like this game, even if you enjoy other metroidvania games.

Pros

• +Solid combat system that gets better as you unlock more skills
  
• +Good storyline. It’s a bit slow after the initial area, but it picks up again not longer after.
  
• +Platforming and navigating through the various areas was interesting

Cons

• -Occasional stuttering issues
  
• -No fast travel within a planet. This made exploring previously discovered areas tedious.

Comments
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order takes place after Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. If you have not watched any of the Star Wars movies, you may be a little lost at first, but you might be able to pick up on what happened. The combat reminds me of Sekiro with being able to parry and dodge attacks. It felt alright at first, but as I got more abilities (including force abilities), the combat got better and better. The only major complaint I have is that there is no fast travel available within the planets themselves. I wanted to explore previous areas and find collectibles that I missed, but having no fast travel available made this tedious and I ended up not going for all of the collectibles.

Overall, if you are a Star Wars fan, I highly recommend checking this game out, especially if it’s on sale. If you are not a Star Wars fan, but like Sekiro or Metroidvania games, I still recommend taking a look at this game.

Pros

• +Amazing graphics
  
• +A large world to explore with plenty of side content to experience
  
• +Random events can occur while free roaming, helping the world feel alive
  
• +A lengthy, interesting storyline
  
• +Decent weapon and wildlife variety
  
• +Red Dead Online is also included

Cons

• -The game can feel a bit too slow at times
  
• -Character movement controls can get wonky once in a while

When I first started playing Red Dead Redemption 2, the first thing I noticed was how good the graphics are. This game is one of the best looking games I have played so far. Some of the weather effects are really well done. The story itself was very interesting. You play as Arthur Morgan and ride with his gang. If you have played the first Red Dead Redemption, note that this game takes place before that game. The gameplay was good, but I didn’t feel like it was exceptional. However, the Deadeye ability was fun to use.

I only have a few small complaints about that game. There were times when I tried to walk forward, but Arthur or my horse would start walking in circles. I was able to fix this by stopping and walking again, but it was strange that this happened from time to time. The game also felt a bit too slow at times. The game has a slow pace overall, but there are some parts that could have been sped up, such as looting multiple bodies.

Overall, if you are looking for a game with a great story and a nice world to explore, I highly recommend checking out Red Dead Redemption 2. Just be aware that the game has a slow pace. If you are okay with this, then definitely pick up this game, especially when it’s on sale.

Pros

• +Great gameplay
  
• +Four different classes to choose from, each with their own skill trees
  
• +Lots of loot and ways to build your characters
  
• +Decent enemy variety
  
• +Quite a bit of content
  
• +Nice crafting system that lets you further enhance your gear and create new items

Cons

• -No online multiplayer (there is Remote Play Together, but other people’s characters will be on your pc)
  
• -Some areas can have a maze-like layout with multiple dead ends when exploring
  
• -Can feel repetitive after a while

Comments
Chronicon is a good action RPG with lots of loot to collect and ways to build your character. There are four different classes (five if you get The Mechanist DLC), each with their own skill trees and ways to play. Once you get through the five story acts, there is an endgame system that has you go through random dungeons and fight various bosses with multiple difficulty levels. However, I did not explore the endgame content that much. Overall, if you enjoy games with lots of loot or like action RPGs, I recommend taking a look at Chronicon.

Pros

• +Great gameplay. Cars feel nice to drive.
  
• +Interesting day and night mechanic. You make money during the day, but you gain reputation and get chased by the police at night.
  
• +A variety of cars to buy
  
• +Each car is customizable, both in appearance and performance
  
• +A decent amount of activities

Cons

• -The main story felt too short
  
• -It feels too difficult to lose the police without using a jump or using a super fast car at higher heat levels
  
• -It can be difficult to avoid traffic at times during night races
  
• -Soundtrack could use more variety, especially since some songs only play during the day while other songs only play at night

Comments
Need for Speed: Heat is a solid racing game with an interesting day and night mechanic. During the day, you race for money, but at night, you race to build reputation. However, the police chase you at night, meaning that racing for a longer period of time at night is risky. There are a decent amount of races to complete, but the main story felt too short. I was a bit surprised when the story ended because it felt like there was more. Furthermore, it can be difficult to lose the police at night without a really fast car. I often had to use ramps to lose the police at higher heat levels.

Overall, if you are looking for a racing game, I recommend taking a look at this game when it is on sale.
