This is the first video game essay I have ever played (unless The Beginners Guide counts) and I was really pleasantly surprised. I liked that it was focused all around a single accept of video game design and it explored it with a mix of gameplay and well written commentary. I loved how the game was able to comment on real examples by playfully recreating them in this game. I recommend it for anyone who finds game design interesting.

Another fantastic entry in the series. This keeps that same gameplay and formula that made the first two games so fun and just updates and upgrades it in exciting ways. The story is emotional and so worthy of being a must experience entry in the Spider-Man canon. I can not get enough of these games and hope they keep making them forever.

A beautiful and exciting take on one of my favourite games! The campaign is a little short but extremely fun from start to finish.

This was a hard one to nail down. The story is solid and appropriately grand but with some pacing issues. I loved some characters but felt others were wooden. Combat can feel amazing and epic but can also be a bit of a slog. It’s a true 50/50 split.

A beautiful little game that really surprised me with the story.

I loved the freedom this game encourages. Had a great journey.

Memes and high octane fun. An absolute bonkers blast!

The sense of exploration and eerie quiet created by an empty world is unparalleled. Some of my favourite Fallout experiences ever.

This was a super cute and super fun game. An open world full of fun stuff to do! The possession mechanic never got old.

Played lots of this with my first girlfriend when we first started dating and now we've been married 5 years. Also Wet Work is an S tier level.

What a fun romp! I am still reeling from the twist at the end 16 years later.

Perfect style and the tone carries you through the haunting world.

I played this game for 3 years and platinumed it but I still don't know if it was worth it. It was fun to run around Greece with a big hammer so I think it was.

I fight like Batman. I stalk like Batman. I solve like Batman. I cry like Batman. I am Batman.

I played this all the way through with my brother on co-op the day we got the PS4 and it was fun as heck. However, I remeber none of it.
