Woah, where do I begin? Cyberpunk 2077 is an interesting one for me, as I’ve tried to start it multiple times, but my computer was never good enough to run it. On the occasion when I upgraded, I thought I was done trying the game for what would have been the fourth time—boy, am I glad I didn’t follow through with that!

Cyberpunk is a game that is ridiculously ambitious, as much as it is flawed in many elements. That said, it honestly provides one of, if not the best, deep and immersive sci-fi RPG experiences out there. Nowhere else will you find a place like Night City. The sheer size and liveliness of it all is so gripping that you'll often find yourself just driving around to enjoy the views.

I don’t want to spoil anything, so I won’t speak too much on specifics, but the story and side missions are fantastic and showcase the quality of what CD Projekt Red can produce. Phantom Liberty further enhanced this experience and really showcased what a great setting this is. I could go on and on about the expansion, but I’ll keep it short and just say it’s utterly fantastic.

Playing this makes me insanely excited for The Witcher 4 and what they’ll come out with, but I do hope they’ve learned their lesson and will delay the game's release if necessary. While Cyberpunk 2077, for me, is a solid 9/10, had they not come back and fixed the game—bugs and all—it would’ve completely soured the experience, and I’m sure that has deterred many people from even trying the game. Even so, I do have faith that they’ll do right by what they’ve learned, and with that, please play the game and enjoy it!

Where do I begin, Game Science have created something magical here. One of the best souls-like games out there and an absolute winner for GOTY.

From the captivating gameplay to the alluring landscapes. It has a wonderful selection of it all. Not to mention the boss design and quantity was extremely fun to go through along with the abilities that you get to unlock and use.

How they managed to do this on their first triple-A attempt is astounding. Easily a 10/10 for me and is an experience i would recommend to anyone and I couldnt finish this without mentioning the cool ass animated shorts between each chapter. Here's to hoping Black Myth Wukong is just the stepping stool needed for more developers to see a solid single-player experience can do wonders!

PS - Screw Yellowloong but damn did it feel good to beat his ass.

Honestly did not know what I was in for from the start but a fun and engaging experience no less. I don't really want to spoil anything so I will keep it short. Its definitely a game you should add to the list to play through at some point.

A solid 7/10 for me, the gameplay was as I expected from such an old game but the story and world building was far better than i thought. Making me especially excited for when Beyond Good and Evil 2 definitely comes out.

PS that final fight man, the inverted controls... never again. (if you know you know)

If you are looking for a superb single-player narrative experience, look no further. I would highly recommend this, I did not know much going in but the story is fascinating and the vistas are wallpaper worthy. 8/10

Okay there doesn't need to be a lot said here. This game is utterly fantastic, clearly the best souls game we have currently gotten by far. The gameplay, story, vistas... I could go on and on.

Without a doubt one of the best games out there and easily a 10/10 not to mention the DLC (Shadow of the Erdtree) which may very well be considered the size of a entire second game. Honestly you just have to play it whether you are new to the franchise or new to souls games in general.

Super fun and refreshing take on a souls-like. Would highly recommend if you are itching for something more after playing Elden Ring or even if this is your first step into the genre.

The story is interesting and the characters go far deeper than I would have imagined. Alongside this the gameplay honestly shines through the general feel is great along with the extra skills and abilities, not to mention all the unique shells.

Overall a solid 8/10 and a must play for souls lovers.

If you love/like or at least have a small positive inkling towards Cats. Play this game.. and if you don't well it will definitely start to make you feel the former.

10/10 (I Love Cats)

To preface, I had already 100% this game on PS5 and I can wholeheartedly recommend you play. To put it simply its without a doubt one of the best samurai games out there and tells a pretty interesting story following Jin and his quest to take back Tsushima from the Mongols whilst needing to go between the lines of his honor and the needs of his people. Albeit I don't think thats where the games strongest point is. That is clearly in the absolutely breathtaking visuals and the combat which makes you just feel like a pure badass and blends seamlessly into everything.

Easily a 9/10 and one I would highly recommend to anyone looking to live out their samurai fantasy. Also quick side-note what a stellar job they did with the port!

If you have yet to play you are doing yourself a disservice not delving into this game. This is without a doubt a peak RPG contender. I would definitely recommend installing Tales of Two Wastelands. Which combines FO3 and FNV into one game whilst maintaining the same Fallout feel and adding a buncha QOL. With the best thing being how simple it is to install!

I would highly recommend to anyone itching for an RPG or even if you have just gotten into the Fallout universe due to the recent very good TV series that just dropped you should definitely play this. Without a doubt a 5/5 and I could almost say patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

Another one of those games that have been on my radar for a long time, yet every time I tried to play I always found the beginning slow and not interesting enough. Well let me tell you I was wrong . This game is an utter spectacle of wonder-inducing open world design and the beating heart that is the combat that follows suit making each encounter a complete charm to play through.

The only thing that let it down for me was the quick ending. The final fight didn't feel like I paved my way through this story to have it be resolved so quickly, although it had left on an cliff ending that lead me to be excited for what comes next. That aside the positives are plentiful. To begin with the story, what a gripping universe! one of the few games where I had stopped myself to actually listen/read the lore of how the world came to be. The combat excellent in design and in practice works just as well as you'd imagine. No other game comes close to the level of design they have here for an open world game!

Overall this would be a solid 9/10 for me and anyone who is looking for a solid single-player game should definitely pick it up and be engrossed in the world that is Horizon Zero Dawn! I promise you it will not disappoint. (also quick one man the graphics and performance are just absolutely fantastic, what a job they did!)
