Steins;Gate
2009
the artwork is amazing. the story is great. the time travel is some of the best in media, there's only one plot hole throughout the entire story me and my friends noticed, and we like nitpicking a whole lot.
the characters don't appear very good at first but once you warm up to them you realize they're all pretty good.
the story sure takes its time to finally rev up but once it does it's just non-stop greatness.
but of course, it's complicated.
the story is certainly good but in the visual novel it's sometimes told in such a tedious way. the main character will repeat the same pieces of information to you over and over and over throughout the entire game, like you've been skipping through everything. you could probably read the very last chapter of this game and gather what most of the plot is from how much information the main character repeats. then occasionally, one of the other characters will sit there explaining a whole bunch of science stuff at you for like 10 minutes.
there's also a whole bunch of weird shit. i won't spoil anything but there's a certain character where half the scenes are just really fucking uncomfortable to watch, in a bad way. there are also a whole bunch of other weird scenes, but i don't want to spoil anything.
final verdict? give it a try. if you can handle the anime bullshit it'll probably end up as one of your favourites.

Starts off very strong and maintains its quality for about 2/3 of the game before absolutely crumbling in spectacular fashion. For what it's worth, that first 2/3 is such a good time I can mostly forgive the ending. Great setting, sufficiently scary, and a great return to form for the series on its release. Might have been more fun if Jack was a more consistently threat in that first area, because as it stands it's a pretty simple trigger system, but the tone overall is excellent

That Lisa scene hit me harder than I ever expected
it's a ddlc 2.0 sorta game. i think this game does it pretty much plainly better. gets into the meat of it right out of the way and has much more interaction (although to be fair ddlc is a visual novel..)
Outer Wilds
2019
beautiful story with great music. gives you a feeling of satisfaction you won't get from any other games, except maybe slightly from myst and a bit from the witness, but the witness is uhh.. yeah..
case 5 is a masterpiece
one of the most fun experiences i've had with a game except the game is bad. this applies to all other danganronpa games as well
Doom
2016
fun but gets kind of tedious at the end
Doom Eternal
2020
improves upon doom 2016's gameplay loop. i don't like the boss enemy with the shield they put in the levels though.
Factorio
