2021

Wholesome open-world adventure that doesn’t length too much and does everything right. I loved every bit of it.

I revisited Titanfall 2 years after playing it first on console, and I had a blast a second time. The solo campaign is probably one of my favorite of any modern FPS games. Solid gameplay.

I discovered and completed all the games on this compilation for the first time ever, and I really enjoyed them for the most part. Castlevania II & The Adventure were atrocious to play, but I really liked the first one, Super Castlevania IV and Bloodlines/The New Generation.

Overall it’s a great compilation for a very cheap price when discounted (4€ on Nintendo Switch). It definitely made me consider playing the other entries in the series!

Edit: I did play SotN and the three entries on GBA. Amazing games for sure.

Worth getting now if you don't already own MK8D. They got rid of the initial business model so every item is now purchasable with in-game currency, which you get by simply playing through the different modes (story mode included).

Probably the best 5€ I’ve ever spent in my life.

I always avoided the MGS franchise and thought it was overrated, but playing this for the first time in 2024 made me realize how dumb I was. It’s such an incredible game even with today’s standards. I’m now in love with the series.

Solid gameplay, great soundtrack and doesn’t look that bad for a 2001 game.

(Completed 100% as Tony Hawk only, will revisit later.)

Really thought I'd give up on this one, but I completed the campaign anyway. Overall it's an okay game with a lot of flaws (unprecise gunplay, bland levels, etc), but still manages to be fun sometimes.

2007

This one might be one of the best skateboarding games ever made. Revisiting it after all these years still blew my mind. Everything is so well crafter and cruising around trying to find new spots feels incredible. If I had to choose a game to play endlessly it would be this one.

(Not completed 100% but won all the major events, got the two magazine covers, and will definitely come back to it at some point.)

Killzone 2 does everything better than its predecessor. It’s non-stop fun from start to finish, and it’s visually quite impressive for the PS3. The level of details in this game is insane.

One of the very first games I got for my 3DS, and also one of my favorite back then. Replaying it on PS3 was a great experience!

2008

Pretty cool game with a strong 2000s vibe. I feel like it kinda went under the radar back in the day, but playing it nowadays was actually super fun. Or may I say pure fun. I just got sucked in for the past few days, it’s quite short but also very addictive. Solid ATV racing game imo.

The only time I've played a Resistance game was Retribution on the PSP, so I went into this one completely blind. At first, I had a hard time getting into it (maybe due to completing Killzone 2 a few weeks before) but once it clicked I kinda enjoyed it for what it was : a cool but forgettable launch title for the PS3. It was fun enough to get me entertained until the end.

I can't believe I skipped this one back in the day. I used to play Zombies occasionally with a friend but never did the campaign until today. And it was actually very good!

Bowser's Inside Story is an excellent game overall, with a ton of great ideas. It uses all the NDS features incredibly well throughout the story, and has very nice visuals as well as a great soundtrack (the final boss music goes super hard). The game also constantly renews the gameplay so I didn’t get bored at all during my playtime. Showtime!
