Mortal Kombat 1
2023
Story is yet another in the oversaturated multiverse plot market these days.
But man oh man is the gameplay a few steps up from MK11. Combos can go on forever sometimes, but it still feels a lot more accessible than MKX's cracked gameplay these days.
The biggest downside is how hard they've leaned into microtransactions this iteration. Spending real money to unlock fatalities with no other option for doing so is beyond appalling. The skins you can unlock through normal gameplay are by and large ham-handed recolors of the same 2-3 outfits, and the ones that are actually cosmetically different cost real money, too. That wouldn't be so bad if not for everything that costs real money requiring you to buy more than that amount in the Dragon Krystal currency, as is the norm in games these days it seems.
Overall, though, I can continue to enjoy Mortal Kombat gameplay that isn't severely watered down, which is the main thing I play these games for.

Pretty good pizzeria simulator. But in all seriousness pretty good Five Night's at Freddy's game not my favorite but still pretty good. I really enjoyed decorating my own pizzeria. I also liked most of the minigames and the lore hidden within some of them. I also had a lot of fun getting all the endings.
Palworld
2024
Pretty fun with friends can't say how fun playing by yourself is seeing as I've only played 40 minutes by myself.
One of the creepiest looking Five Nights at Freddy's games to date. Unfortunately it's also one of the easiest which is made even more unfortunate because Springtrap has one of the eeriest and coolest looking designs in the entire franchise in my opinion.
Side note: Activating the minigames is really weird and didn't always work for me.

One of the best Five Nights at Freddy's games. I mean what else is there to say it's a classic. I really like the level design in this one it's not to overwhelming unlike the second one. The animatronic designs are pretty cool as well and while they may not be the scariest. They look like they belong in a children's pizzeria which fits the story/lore nicely.
Better than the first game. I love the ties between this DLC's story and the main game. I had lots of fun and strived to collect all the collectibles just like the main game. This DLC's atmosphere is even eerier than the first one. Also the antagonists hunting you down were so much better. Also this game truly made me never want to have kids. The miracle of birth my ass. This DLC like the main game also had plenty of WTF moments possibly even more than the first.
Side note: Fuck Eddie Gulkskin/The Groom good antagonist... But nope nope absolutely not.

Outlast
2013
I really enjoyed my time with Outlast and it was a blast. It had an unnerving atmosphere which added to scare factor and kept me on my toes. I love the found footage style of the game especially the night vision mode. My main gripe is that I wish the main game was longer. This is also one of the only games where I strived to get all the collectibles for fun. There were also a lot of WTF moments littered throughout. Which for me personally made the game that much more enjoyable. It definitely had it's fair share of glitches but honestly most of them were pretty funny.
Overcooked is a fun game as long as you have a friend to play with by yourself it is extremely boring and lackluster experience. Playing with a friend can be a good way to have a lot of fun, chaos and yelling at one another about who needs to do what. While I do enjoy this game and the friendships it has tested I've had some performance issues on the Nintendo switch.
The games included in this Jackbox Party Pack are some of my personal favorites and are an absolute blast with the right group of friends or even family. My favorites from this pack are Tee K.O. and Murder Trivia Party. They are the games in my personal opinion to have the most chaos in the best possible ways. I look forward to playing them with friends and family again.
Alan Wake
2010
I decided to play Alan Wake before playing Alan Wake 2 and I absolutely loved it. I was constantly engaged and really enjoyed the story and I never once felt bored. It was a thrilling and fun ride all the way through. However it being an Xbox 360 game originally made the controls feel very clunky and sluggish at times. There were times whenever I would be running and let go of the run button that Alan would keeping running which led to several incidents of him running of a cliff causing me to die. There were a few glitches here and there but nothing to major or game breaking. It's now one of my favorite games and I'm really excited to see how the story of Alan Wake 2 will play out. Although I did knock off half a point for the clunky and sluggish controls. Overall it's a game I would highly recommend.
