I really don't see the point of dividing the true ending of Alan Wake into two separate DLCs, since they have exactly the same gameplay. But in the end, not much changes about the overall experience.
Compared to Vol. 1, this one kind of sucked. 21 tries too hard to be edgy and shocking, Jack's 55th was too goofy and got old quick. However, Daughters was very interesting and added plenty of lore to Evelyn's arrival, in the style of a true horror film.
Banned Footage Vol. 1 contains Nightmare, which is one of the most entertaining survival games I have ever played. Made much better with the terrifying atmosphere and the gameplay. Bedroom was, okay, it took me a while to figure out. And Ethan Must Die got pretty annoying, pretty quick.
I'm never gonna get over blonde, plastic-surgery Chris Redfield. At least we play in first person so we don't have to see this clear mistake/abomination.
DLC is pretty fun though and makes the best out of Resident Evil's first-person mechanics.

Although the weakest and strangest of the 4 DLC packs of the amazing RE7, End of Zoe has some memorable moments and a charming protagonist with powerful fists. Also, it felt nice to beat Jack's ass a final time.
I am impressed at how full these two DLCs are to the point that it feels like a complete game that could be the third installment in the Doom reboots. The final battles and action are cranked up to 1,000,000 in this final part of the Doom saga (for now).
Fantastic DLC that expands on the lore and story of Doom. Also leaves a lot to hope for in the second part.
Amazing DLC that continues (and possibly concludes?) Ethan Winters' story. I liked this a lot, but it also leaves a lot of questions as to what the future of Resident Evil is going to look like.
I never played the original Separate Ways DLC, but I was extremel surprised by how amazing and complete with content this one is. This might be one of the best DLCs ever made, with an amazing protagonist and more of the fun that makes RE4R one of the best games in recent years.

Funny story about Demon Front:
I've searched far and wide for this game's name for years. There was a place in my hometown named "Mundo Pequeño" for children's parties that had a single arcade game beneath the play area. I remember being about 5 years old and stumbling upon it. For the next five years, every single time a friend of mine had a party there, I immediately rushed to the Demon Front arcade to play it. It was one of the most magical experiences I've ever had.
When a kid came to play with me, we banded together to beat level after level up until the very final boss. I beat the game so many times, and I still wanted to play it again every time I came to "Mundo Pequeño". After years of playing it, when I was around 10-11 years old, a tragedy happened.
The machine started failing for some reason. Maybe rainwater got to it, or the years and elements just started to affect it. But the colors changed and became all red. Also, a periodic glitch made the game crash and erase all your progress. Still, I wanted to keep playing Demon Front. I still enjoyed it, but it felt sad to see the arcade machine suffer (apparently) permanent damage.
About a year later, the machine was gone. I guess it finally broke down. It was sad to see something that brought me so much joy disappear, and by then I had kind of outgrown children's parties. I spent a few more times in that place, without the game that I spent countless hours playing. And years later, it faded into an obscure memory.
Now, I finally remembered this game. I saw a couple of gameplay videos on YouTube and the nostalgic memories came right back. Apparently, it is a very rare Taiwanese title that was only released on specific arcade game boxes. In a way, it is kind of a miracle that I was able to experience it, but I feel so happy to at least remember it once again.

Alan Wake is an interesting game that handles a lot of themes and concepts well, but fails in other areas that horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill succeed, especially from a storytelling point of view. I enjoyed my time playing the game, however, I felt like if it continued any longer, it would have definitely overstayed its welcome. I'm hoping the second one is much better!

Diablo IV is a stupendously fun game with a lot of interesting lore and dark fantasy elements that I adore. I had a blast playing it, and although I probably won't finish the insanely long campaign, I enjoyed the time I had with it.
Even though the gameplay and elements are pretty much the same from the last game, Survivor expands the story in new, interesting directions. Has a lot of fun elements and challenge, but can become repetitive.

I'm terrible at this. But I am determined to get better.

Played a multiplayer shooter and a short horror game named The Mimic. Although the concept of being able to create any kind of game is cool (Although much more fun in Minecraft), I can't get over how crappy the characters and graphics look, even in the best scenarios. Also, the marketing-to-children's short attention span vibes and exploiting whatever is popular through slimy, souless content give me very bad feelings. Roblox is one of those things that could be much cooler under different circumstances.
