Finally got around to playing the as of now final installment in the Dishonored series, Death of the Outsider. While it doesn't quite reach the highs of 1 or 2, it's still quite excellent. It is a standalone expansion to Dishonored 2, in the vein of something like the upcoming Miles Morales game. As the game's title says, your goal this time around is to assassinate the Outsider himself, the man who had given you your powers in the previous games, as Billie Lurk with the help of returning fan favorite, Daud. Billie is granted to a new set of unique powers, Displace, which allows you place a marker and swap places with it, being a unique version of blink, Foresight, which is functionally equivalent to Dark Vision, but instead of being an ability activated as you walk, altering your vision, it stops time and allows you to fly around the vicinity to mark enemies, and then you can resume normal vision but enemies will glow, or any other items you marked. Then there is also Semblance, that lets you disguise yourself as most NPCs, such as guards, Overseers, or even key characters to allow you to get past certain areas or partake in events you otherwise couldn't. The levels are still expansive as before, but some do get a bit more linear due to the more strong narrative focus. You also now have contracts, which are side objectives you can complete for coin, that give you even more incentive to explore the levels thoroughly and figure out ways to complete them. There are some cool locations, such as a fighting ring, a bank heist, creepy cultist bases etc. Some interesting things this game does is doing away with the Chaos system, there are still two endings, but they are just determined by a choice you make in the final level, not from your chaos, so you can feel free to kill anyone you want, which I'm fine with for this game and it makes sense with Billie as a character. The mana system has also been changed, you now have 3 mana pips, and one is used each time you use an active ability, but they now regenerate, so there are no more mana potions, this system is great in my opinion, as it allows you experiment more with your powers without worrying about running out of mana, though admittedly, I do find myself hoarding mana in the other games for no reason when I could still use it, but I digress. It's an interesting choice, and while I would like to see the chaos system return(but even more refined) in a Dishonored 3, I wouldn't mind this mana system being the new standard, or at least a variation of it. All in all, this is a great addition to the franchise, it's a good standalone with a great story and is a satisfying conclusion to the saga that began with the original in 2012.

This is an excellent followup to the original, improving upon it in nearly every way. Now, for every single lethal option, you have a non lethal alternative, you aren't restricted to just choking and sleep darts, you can drop knockout, you can deflect an enemy in combat and then choke him out when he's stunned, you have stun mines(which were introduced in the DLCs of the original Dishonored) and more, along with the classic non lethal alternatives for targets like the previous game. You also have a choice of two characters now, the now grown up Emily Kaldwin, or returning protagonist of the original, Corvo Attano. On a first playthrough I'd recommend Emily, as it is both a fresh experience, and the story makes more sense as Emily, and is the canon route. However Corvo is still fun to play of course, and has excellent voice acting from Stephen Russell of Thief fame. The two characters just add even more replayability to an already highly replayable game. The levels are even more expansive and open with many things to see and do, nearly impossible to see everything in a level on a first playthrough. The chaos system is a bit more nuanced now, as the Heart will tell you secrets about a person, and for example it may tell you how they are an awful person, so if you kill them, it still raises chaos a bit, but less so than someone who spends their free time helping orphans for example. You also have a lot more options and choices in the story that will affect the ending, not just who you kill, which is awesome and means there's many different endings depending on your combination of choices and chaos level. The story is pretty intriguing, and Karnaca is a beautiful setting as well. Unlike the first game, it isn't a perfect PC port, but it still runs quite well ever since they removed Denuvo, so most people shouldn't have any issues running it.

The one that started it all, this game still holds up and is an absolute masterpiece of the genre. An excellent stealth/action/exploration hybrid, it's truly unique and there's nothing quite like it. The levels are sprawling and open, with many paths to take, side missions to complete, that can both alter your current mission, and future missions, such as finding an item in an earlier level that you can use in a future level to go into a shortcut. Every single target in the game also has a non lethal option, you don't have to kill. You can play the game as a psychopathic murderer with no regards for anything, or play it without being spotted even once or killing a single person. All these choices, both moral and gameplay wise, make this game highly replayable and addictive, and I can recommend it to pretty much everyone. It also still holds up visually thanks to its unique watercolor aesthetic, and is also an excellent PC port that runs very well. And of course, since I have the Definitive Edition, I have to talk about the DLCs. The first is called Dunwall City Trials, and is nothing very impressive, mostly a collection of minigames and challenges, some of which are actually cool but nothing crazy. However the real meat and potatoes of the DLC is the two story expansions, Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches, which let you play as Daud, the man who murdered the Empress and see his perspective of the story. These expansions are just as good, if not better, than the main game. Both combined are like one cohesive story, with 6 sprawling levels, the continued non-lethal and lethal options, etc. along with a speaking role for Daud. Highly recommend you pick up the complete edition for those two expansions.

Peak of the Hitman series, absolute perfection with some of the most memorable levels in the series.

Wasn't expecting much out of it, but decided to give it a chance since it came with RE3. Really fun asymmetrical mode actually, had a blast playing as the Survivors.

Garry's Modification is quite the video game.

It took me until now to finally truly sit down and play this game to completion, along with the expansions. And man am I glad I did. This game is an absolute masterpiece on every level. The writing is excellent, with extremely interesting characters, unexpected twists and turns, and character interactions that stay true to the source material. Your choices in this game actually matter, and can lead to wildly different outcomes, which is much appreciated. The combat is very fun and satisfying once you get the hang of it, with a nice variety of moves and signs to use. The amount of content packed in this game is insane and it is easily well worth your money even at full price, but the game also frequently goes on sale for 15-20 dollars, which is an absolute steal. You owe it to yourself to play this game, it's the greatest RPG ever made.

Absolute classic and still holds up today. For the most part superb level design, fun gunplay with a variety of unique weapons to use, interesting but simple story. Overall great game, and doesn't need any patching to run on modern hardware, works straight away. If you somehow haven't played this game and you own a PC, you owe it to yourself to play it.

The perfect sequel. It is shorter than the first game, but it is pure joy to play. It is a marked improvement on every aspect of the gameplay, keeping what worked about the first game and fixing/expanding upon what needed fixing and expanding upon. The story is just as gripping, still told through stylized comic book style visuals, though there are a few more in game cutscenes this time around compared to the original game, though this is likely due to the increased graphical fidelity giving Remedy some confidence. The controls are smooth as butter and the gunplay is incredible. It's like being John Wick+Neo. Still challenging, with a wide array of difficulties after the initial run if you didn't find it hard enough the first time. Easily recommend it.

One of Rockstar's most underrated games. Unfortunately does need some patching to work better on modern hardware, but steam guides have very useful and easy to follow tips. Fun characters, great story, excellent gameplay, fun open world even if it is smaller than some of Rockstar's others, it still holds up today as a charming experience.
