A fun park manager that fails to shine without the benefit of DLC: base-game content is lacking, to say the least, and fails to capture the sense of accomplishment this sort of game should inspire.

This is a very solid party game, made all the more entertaining by it's progressively more well-made character designs. That said, the admittedly undeniable sense of style only grows more refined in the two semi-sequels.
The sort of sequel that adds to the experience of the first game in pretty much every arena. A fun time, all around.

For the truly obscene amount of hype this game got, I couldn't not have been so profoundly disappointed. It's kinda just fine, y'know? People gas it up as the best first-person-shooter of all time, and while it's far from bad, it's kinda just... good.
Of the three Monster Prom games, this one is- by far -my favorite. The art direction, dialogue, and multiplayer are as polished as ever, with the undeniable benefit of a more practiced team.

God, this fuckin' game.
I really want to like No Man's Sky. It's a polished space game, that's for damn sure, but god, it's just SO boring. I can barely bring myself to crack the damn thing open, much less endure an agonizingly long session of very little action and even less fun.

I mean, yeah. This game does exactly what it says on the tin, and does a good job, at that.
You'll probably feel like a real shithead, though.

A gruesomely funny, surprisingly solemn foray into smashing things with a sledgehammer. It's best to go into this one blind, without a doubt, but be ready for a twist.
The best time I've ever had with an MMO, no contest.
2007
A fun tech demo for the substantially better sequel. That said, Portal has always managed to fly on it's own, and holds up just as well as you'd expect.
2011
To be perfectly frank, this feels more like Portal to me than the original. An undeniable masterpiece in pretty much every regard.
2021
Pretty much exactly what you'd expect: a relaxing simulation of part-time house-cleaning, with just enough engagement to keep you coming back.
2019
All the hubristic pride of industry without the self-loathing of engaging in real-world capitalism!
2020
A rip-roarin', gleefully irreverent adventure through a marvelously dystopian cyber-city. I simply cannot wait until Chapter 1.

God, my feelings about this game are capital-C Complicated.
In it's current state, this game fails to shine as much as it should. The concentrated malevolence of a few, unfunny people have rendered it nearly unplayable, and it sure as hell seems like Valve has stopped caring.
Still, if you've got some good friends beside you, it can be a damn good time.
