Fallout 4, for what it may got wrong, got a lot right. The scenery is beautiful, the factions are diverse, and of course, the Power Armor revamp was a very, very welcome addition. Sometimes the lack of choice irks me, as well as the stability of the game engine, but Fallout 4 is my absolute favourite Fallout game.

Half-Life is a damn fucking good game. The graphics show their age but the gameplay certainly doesn't. Are there frustrating parts that are a drag to play through? Sure. But it doesn't undermine the fact that this is a great game with a great story, and definitely great voice acting for Gordon Freeman.

This review includes my thoughts on both episodes. Half-Life 2 blew my expectations straight out of the water. The vehicle dependant parts felt annoying but the later part of the game is where it arguably shines. Characters like Alyx felt real, and the ending of Episode 2 just...pissed me off In a good way. Finally knowing what Valve fans felt when that absolute cliff-hanger hit like a semi. Severely hope Valve is working on an Episode 3 or a follow up HL game. Praying, even.

I literally have no complaints about Portal. I think it is the closest to a "perfect" videogame that I've ever played. It covers all the bases of any game, being story setup, introduction to gameplay, a villain, and all. The escape from GlaDOS control part and allowing the player to see the grimy insides of the tidy, clean facility was starkly contrasting in the best way. Highly recommend.
Arkham Knight is unfairly panned by Arkham fans, but seeing how people are defending it now again, I'm gonna speak my mind. Arkham Knight's Scarecrow? My definitive version of the character. The bat-suit? So good. The story? stellar. The music? Stellar. Characters? Ste. Llar. Arkham Knight from start to finish is a fantastic Batman game and, in my opinion? Arguably the best.
