This zombie survival game stands out from the rest in terms of how it makes it clear that this isn't a typical survival game. There's no "survive so that you can thrive" like other survival games do. The world of Project Zomboid is harsh and unforgiving and it's not a question of will you die but when. After all, this is the story of how you died.

A step in the right direction for the future of Pokemon. The open world maps make the previous games feel archaic in how they went about catching pokemon. Being able to just throw a pokeball and/or other Pokemon to catch Pokemon in the overworld makes collecting them SO much easier and makes the battles you do end up doing take far less time than previous titles. I thought I'd also hate the crafting in the game but even that is flushed out in a way that feels justified, with you being able to have your Pokemon collect some materials for you.
The graphics and story are probably the biggest cons with this game. The last Pokemon game I played was Pearl but I don't remember the story in Pokemon games being this bland and uninteresting. Friends have told me that it's to be expected at this point though, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. There's a lot of technical graphical issues with the game too. To be clear, I understand the style that Game Freak went with and most of the problems aren't due to the style but rather how it's implemented. Pop in is blatantly obvious, textures get really pixel-ly at times, and there's a lot of frame drops depending on the amount of Pokemon and what they're doing. Looking out from a mountaintop you can clearly see where the game stops rendering trees and from high in the air the map looks empty and barren.
These issues, aside the progressive leaps this game has made in updating the Pokemon formula more than make up for it and makes me eager to play future games in this style.

I mean, come on. What is there to say about Minecraft that hasn't been said already? If you could only own one game this should be it. Infinite worlds, free updates, mods (if you have Java). This game is more along the lines of a game engine than anything else and flipped the games industry completely on its head when it came out. If you don't have it get it. You won't regret it.
I can't believe that this is one of my favorite MMOs, let alone the only one that I've enjoyed enough to pay for. I can't stand JRPGs so the fact that this game is so highly rated should definitely mean something. The game's enjoyable, especially with friends, and there's a lot to do outside of the main story (the community is insanely helpful and kind too).
FF14 is more of a "RPG MMO" than an "MMO RPG". The game is very much an MMO but it prioritizes the story and RPG above all else. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy I'd highly recommend. A Realm Reborn might be rough to get through but if you enjoy Heavensward... oh boy are you in for a ride...
