People like to call this game Hardcore fallout and while that is true to an extent, I'd much rather call this game a Survival-Lite game. As janky as the mechanics such as leaning and alot of the assets being bought from a store, this game makes an atmosphere that is unmatched by even some AAA games. It's probably one of the more immersive shooters out there, rivaling far cry 2 and such. My issue with this game is how hard it is to get into thanks to the game giving you the dinkiest pistol imaginable, making the beginning of the game soul crushingly difficult.

No game has made me fall in love with it's world and gameplay as much as Dark Souls. I had to restart the game about 7 times but I still hungrily try to perfect my build each time, when I finally finished, I was crying, tears of joy, tears of sorrow, so many emotions flowing through me that I couldn't describe. I Rarely call games perfect but this game is a contender of best game of all time, it's as perfect as a game can get...until you reach the second half of the game. Nevertheless. it's an experience I recommend to everyone, even if you don't beat it.

My personal favorite in the series, Far Cry 2 is a lonely and unforgiving game. This is more of a driving simulator but god damn is it pretty to take in. I love the survival-lite features like the healing animations and being able to heal with food. It's also a bit buggy unless you cap the game at 60FPS. It's definitely a love it or hate it game, I have some friends that find it a drag to play and others who love it to death. IMO it's worth giving a shot, especially with how dirt cheap it goes on sale.
