Halo 3 ODST is a nice break from the Master Chief saga in the series. Playing with nostalgic lenses and having not played it since release on 360, the game was very enjoyable and felt more akin to modern shooters without the ability to sprint.

I believe the game falls off more in terms of story being unimportant to the main Master Chief/Cortana story of the trilogy, but it is overall enjoyable. Nathan Fillion as Buck was a nice surprise. Didn't realize the voice cast was so stacked when I was younger.

Wonderfully created and inventive. A puzzle game like no other. The art style is beautiful. The soundtrack pairs elegantly. It is almost like someone saw Inception and said... "I want to make that a puzzle game except with an insect/sci Fi theme."

This game is worth every second of your time playing if you enjoy puzzle games.

Okay indie game. Narration was good, but the walking sim was a little too slow for my liking. Very short game

Played with Game Pass via MCC. This was a nostalgic trip. However I remember enjoying this game more growing up. Gameplay is fun and engaging. However, the story felt underwhelming.

I played this game on Series S with GamePass with a nostalgic love of the game. Due to current changes in the FPS landscape, this game was much slower than I remember. Unfortunately that made me like it less.

Overall great story, fun gameplay, a good set up to Halo: CE but ultimately the game hasn't aged well.

Coming from nostalgic lenses, this is a great game overall. Much improved story from CE, wonderful ability to switch graphics from remastered to the original. Great weapon changes. Props to Bungie.

However the game is very frustrating in certain areas with annoying checkpoint loads or checkpoints don't trigger... Not a huge deal but coming back in 2023 shows how the Xbox games don't age very well with more recent QoL changes in the industry.

This the DLC no one asked for, but I believe everyone will enjoy throughly. "Roguelite God of War? What? No way... Underwhelmed" I thought that after seeing the Game Awards announcement. Boy.... Was I wrong

It works so well, implements a well designed narrative of Kratos inner conflict of being a deity for the masses again, ties in to the old Greek Saga of Kratos, and hints at possible future Mythologies in Tyr's different combat styles. Greek(callback), Aztec, Egyptian, and Japanese.

2023

Game was very unique and well created. It has a wonderful art style. This game tells a beautiful story about culture and will make you reflect on how you accept or distance yourself from your own.

Overall, great indie. It has wonderful sound design, a great art style and tells a beautiful story.
