Pro Skater 3 is definitely one of the best in the franchise as well, while it doesn't have the nice mechanical editions 4 and the Underground games would bring for obvious reasons. It's just really fun with pretty well put together and designed levels (maybe except for Tokyo like I HATE the middle section of Tokyo as it just feels way too busy). The goals and environmental transformation stuff all feels very welcome and keeps the levels constantly growing and changing, adding more to skate from with interesting and constantly changing goals as time goes on. Definitely one of my favorite Pro Skater's for sure.

Masterpiece in animation and an incredibly moving story. One of the best games I’ve ever played, and one of the best sequels in any form of media.
EDIT: played it again. Utter perfection. Do yourself a favor, go back and play the resort level on infinite crafting and ammo. Did it after new game +. Hilariously fun blasting everyone with bomb arrows after grinding for supplies the whole game through. Plus, zero guilt for annihilating the Rattlers.

Too early-accessy for now. Singleplayer is in fact a local server host (as usual in this type of games), it's a pain in the ass to actually host it, the community is pretty much non-existent as of 09.21.20. The optimization sucks. Gotta wait for further patches, skip for now.

Nothing new from Far Cry 3, the story is too long and not so cool. But playing it in 2020, it was cool to remember some things from Far Cry 3. At 50% progress i just wanted to finish it ASAP...

I really enjoyed this game. Often times I step away from big franchises that I'm working my way through to play a standalone game for a breath of fresh air. This remains one of the most remarkable standalone games I've ever played. Although some of the messages may be delivered less gracefully than others of its ilk. It uses the medium of videogames and your preconceived notions of the genre to take you further and further down a loop of logic and reasoning that unwinds as the story does. It will change how you see Modern Warfare forever. And when it does do setpieces, It does them really well. But the ending. Damn that's some good shit.

Although I haven't played the original game and instead skipped to the enhanced port, I can say this is a surprise for me, it's a genuinely fun game.

Nathan Drake's conclusion to a generation spanning saga is a masterstroke by Naughty Dog's writers. Although a bit too heavy handed on story moments and unwilling to give the player space to really max out it's incredible gameplay. It is still a heartfelt original experience that writes new aspects to old characters yet remembers the charm that made us fall in love with them in the first place. A perfectly paced albeit unbalanced experience that gives us the conclusion we needed to say goodbye to a beloved character.

An exceptional experience. Up there with Uncharted 2 as one of the most perfectly paced game's ever made. Not only does it understand it strengths but it finds new unexplored avenues in an FPS genre that is crammed with little room to breathe. Instead Titanfall 2 cuts out a little uninhabited slice and THRIVES. A fantastic 6 hour campaign that is equal parts explosive and intriguing, The story stands tall on the shoulders of it's 2 leads BT-7274 and Jack Cooper and the story of them becoming better partners and developing a cinematic synergy is better than whatever typical plot the game comes up with. Get this game if you enjoy fast paced shooters that constantly reinvent themselves and keep you locked in til the credits role.

Trumps Dark Souls in every way. Doesn't frontload itself with confusing RPG mechanics and remains a more accessible slimmer experience because of it. Contains a magical sense of adventure that few games can capture and has a haunting tone that isn't suffocating but looms over the player akin to Resident Evil 4. It has fantastic boss battles and an incredible combat system that draws the player in with seemingly easy mechanics that infact require careful footwork and a trained eye to master. It is one of the most satisfying games for improvement. As the player slowly becomes more confident and becomes more aggressive and eventually by the finale you are a stoic hunter that parries and dodges effortlessly and capitalises on every miss of an enemy with devestating combos learned over the course of the game. Finally the lore constantly ambushes the player with deep story threads that are rabbit holes of character biographies and make for satisfying post game content as you understand each character before chaining it all together with a 30 minute complete lore video on Youtube.

The best roguelike ever made. Completely confident and fun and it somehow found a way to approach the roguelike genre with more than a one-note story. It's a game that pushes me to keep attempting to escape from hell and then rewarding me even for the most pitiful attempts with permanent upgrades and new story events and character moments. And everytime you hurl yourself out the window with weapon in hand you learn a little more and never feel unrewarded for your time.
The first 10 hours were some of the most magical moments in my time with gaming.
The first videogame I ever played.. Despite giving me horrific nightmares over the course of my childhood, This pivotal part in my early development intrigued me til I was allowed to go near it. And when I did I discovered a game dripping with atmosphere in an oppressively suffocating world that dares you to push forward with a narrative of a weakling slave rising up through sheer will to take down his races oppressors. The cinematic quality is incredible and there is a reason it is one of the most respected franchises in gaming history.
Everyone will tell you about the pounding soundtrack and the heart pounding gameplay. But few will talk of the subtle masterful story that is told in such a bold cryptic way and changes the way you interpret subsequent playthroughs.
The only entry point for MGS, Naked Snake's story remains a standalone gem in a series that spans hundreds of hours and boasts an impossibly large lore. And one of the few games I consider perfect in every way.

Man oh man. What a game. Hollow Knight has slowly progressed through the ranks of gaming's most prestigious experiences and for good reason. It can be hard to find much wrong with this game, It is a satisfying adventure from start to finish, Every endeavour has an exciting reward at the end. The entire world is haunting and oppressive yet offers moments of melancholic bliss as the knight takes a moment to catch his breath on a nearby bench. The combat is sturdy and satisfying. Once fully upgraded you become quite versatile but never overpowering and you can easily be outmatched by starting area foes if you become too cocky. The lore is exciting and in depth. Yet the game keeps some of it's biggest mysteries a secret. Inviting speculation and never letting you learn the world to its fullest.
You never feel in control of Hallownest. It remains threatening and foreboding even after jumping into the opening well for the 60th time. It's also important to mention the games soundtrack which is quiet and beautiful and confident and charged at the right times. It remains some of the most encouraging OSTs ever developed and it eggs you on from the sidelines. The story although basic is clever and original. I especially liked the cast of side characters that you find in each side area and follow you throughout the story til it's natural conclusion. The areas are also beautiful and varied and each pack an impressive vary of enemies that tell stories in themselves.

A criminally underrated game that while lacking the polish it deserves has such a creative charm that you keep playing to see where it will take you next. Then it takes you to one of the greatest twists I've ever seen and evolves the story in unexpected ways with genuine character growth.
What stands out to me the most about Dishonored is how Arkane Studios managed to create an incredible story and world that is alive and complex and then create a masterful stealth game that is jampacked with innovation that the genre has never seen and finally create a challenging gameplay system that slowly ramps up over the course of the game and never makes the player overpowered.
We all remember riding into Mexico as the guitar strums pick up into Far Away by Jose Gonzalez. We all remember how liberating and uncharted Mexico felt and we all knew how picturesque it felt regardless of the time of day or weather. John exhaustedly hauling himself through sheer will towards a foreign land just to get back his family and redeem his past is a story so memorable that it is timeless.

The latest Grand Theft Auto game continues to have it's name driven further and further into the mud by it's online counterpart's predatory practices but the singleplayer remains as unapologetic and purely fun as it ever was. The game is an explosive heist movie that encourages destruction but knows when to tone down the wackiness and insert some real character moments. You can say what you want but the fact that I know Los Santos's downtown district and Bay Area better than I know my own city's streets despite living here my whole life is testament to its greatness.
My personal choice for the greatest videogame ever made as of 2020. Not only is the Van Der Linde gang's saga, An utterly heartbreaking slow death, But it is one written which such poise and consideration that it remains burned into my mind to this day. It is a game that against all odds is utterly uncompromising in it's vision and scope and the world that you will inhabit and the stories you will experience will be folktales in your gaming portfolio for years to come.
It often feels restrained and realistic. You will find yourself giddy for a heist, and then tapping your feet aching to get out of danger for the sake of your gang members. You have such a raw connection to them through learning them like a book as you progress through the story, They remind you why you keep playing even when the game has a few lukewarm missions and they remain consistently entertaining with campside stories and friendly insults in passing. This is a feature of the game that extends to wildlife as well. Red Dead 2 remains remarkably faithful in simulating the habitats and daily activities of hundreds of species.
It all feels so real and it draws you into the game bit by bit as you pick your way through the game's content. And in the very end it all remains just as real life memories do, Moments. Listening to the horses hooves clod off the red sand as I slammed my way through a particularly bad sandstorm, Watching townsfolk look up from their newspaper to eye me like vultures as I saunter into town for the first time, Watching a boy sprint in the other direction as he sees me reach for my revolver.
Experience this world, Experience Arthur's story and remember to take your time before it all passes like a gust of frontier wind.
