Elderborn
2020
Surprisingly fun indie first person melee game. Reminds me of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, which is a good thing as that is a type of game I want to see more often.
Elderborn was more fun than I anticipated. Even the story is somewhat interesting (although the video compression artifacts are hilariously bad during cutscenes). The combat is fast and fun but not too deep. I wish the gore/dismemberment were more fleshed out though. Overall a fun short action game with some minor design flaws.

Super Metroid
1994
I just finished my first ever playthrough of Super Metroid and can now understand why it is regarded as a classic. It is still very well playable apart from some oldschool bs gamedesign toward the end (I assume they wanted to sell their game guides too and thus designed some of the later parts so that you will be tempted to buy one as it can be very unclear where you need to proceed sometimes). The music is great too and obviously a reference for the Metroid Prime ost, which I love dearly.

Thief is a very unique stealth experience. In some regards it aged quite well, in others, not so much. That is why I did not finish the game and instead watched Mandalore Gaming's review of the game on YouTube. I really liked the atmosphere tough. I intend to check out the other games in the Thief series too some day.
I am playing the Zelda series in release order and this is the first game where I did not need to look into a guide once to finish the game. In addition to that, the final dungeon was actually fun and not annoying, like in the prior games. Overall, this is very charming and at the time of writing this, my favorite 2d Zelda game. The performance and visuals on the switch are lacking though and made me play this whole thing in handheld instead of docked mode.
After finishing the first whole area after the prologue, I decided to drop the game as the combat is just no fun at all and started to annoy me quickly. Everything apart the combat is fine and can be fun and cute but the combat system is such an integral part of the game you can not ignore, that it ruined the game for me. Also why the fuck does this game run at 30fps...

I have played this game extensively over the last few years , over 120hours to be exact, but I never finished the game as I always burnt myself out on it by playing it in a way that felt more like work than a videogame. It is clearly my fault for never finishing the games story, but I am done with it now and do not want to play it again. Gonna need a long break from this kind of game before touching mankind divided in a few years.
