I've been playing games for as long as I can remember and this is one of the few games that I think I will never forget. The story above all is something I haven't seen in years if ever. The characters, the twists, the turns, and of course the ending are all heartwrenchingly beautiful. When I first bought the first game, Innocence, a couple years ago, I never thought how attached I could become to a story about a teen girl, kid, and a lot of rats. The game itself looks gorgeous and beautiful, I ran it on a 6900XT and yes it was definitely not the most optimized sometimes I had to stop playing to just take a look at the views it provided. It really did feel like seeing it in real life. And well, here we are now, with lots of tears and smiles with how real the story felt. Easily one of the best games I have ever played, even if the gameplay is the same as before or not completely perfect.

I don't remember what drew me to this game but as of writing this I am in progress of completing the sequel to the game and have also 100% the game. It is a fantastic story with very in depth environments and characters, all based on a very underrated game genre. Highly recommend from a not so well known studio and sequel probably holds the same candle if not more.

Just like CS:GO in the sense that I love and hate it, but has much better matchmaking, amazing balancing/gameplay, much higher requirement for teamplay, much more dev work, etc. basically everything better.

After getting introduced into the RE series through RE:2 Remake, I felt that there couldn't have been anything to top that as well as RE4/7. Once again I was proven wrong by how amazing this story, environment, gameplay, and just everything about it was absolutely amazing. Let Ethan's hands forever rest in peace.

After buying Metro 2033 the book in middle school and eventually losing interest in reading it, both Metro 2033 and Metro Last: Light have been a fantastic experience. If you ignore the several year old AI, the graphics are actually not really good for modern standards and above all the story is probably one of the best I've played, on par with Resident Evil and Bioshock. I would highly recommend for anyone but to only play this after playing Metro 2033/Redux. Good luck, Ranger.

Coming into this game as my first entry to the Dark Souls franchise, I took about 2.5 hours to beat the first boss. Now after only 200 hours I can beat him parry only without taking damage, demonstrating that I did, indeed, get gud. No game matches the experience I had by playing through over and over.

Never in my life did I think I would have fun parading as a devil-worshipping Roman emperor surviving the black plague in my 7th Civil War for power. This game is quite unlike any other paradox product.

Don't be fooled by the amount of hours as a sign of this game being amazing. Don't get me wrong, I love playing the game, but this also includes hundreds of hours of unbalance, grind, and frustration because of the paywall that prevents people from progressing in the game. If Gaijin decides to make it so the research trees are split in a way you can research whatever tier you want at a time then I will change this to a recommendation. It clearly outmatches World of Tanks/Planes in the mechanics behind the game but it is not worth hundreds of hours of grinding to get a jet that gets outmatched by a $60 premium one.
