Just a dude trying to go through my backlog.
I'll try to drop some more in-depth reviews for the games I'm really into at the moment.
Always willing to try new games if they look cool enough!

It's not hyperbolic to say that this is one of the most masterfully crafted games of all time. The Lands Between is a beautifully brutal setting that fits perfectly in FromSoftware's usual dark fantasy storytelling. The game really immerses you through amazing environmental/character designs, solid gameplay, and a fantastic soundtrack to boot. While I may've been a bit late to the party, I now definitely understand the hype that surrounds this game.
An awesome and addicting 4-player coop game that takes all the fun elements of military sci-fi, and mashes them into a third person shooter. The only real complaint I have about this game is the server issues and honestly, it's not saying much since it's a smaller team working on this so that was kind of expected.
.hack Gu is a game that has great concepts but it's definitely a product of its time. I think the story is pretty interesting and while some of the characters are a bit grating at first they do develop over time. Something I really like about .hack is the level of immersion that you feel throughout the trilogy, it's as if your right in the boots of Haseo as he's flipping through forum pages and reading his emails. The soundtrack is really good and I love the overall aesthetic. The gameplay though can be a slog, it's extremely repetitive and not all that dynamic, there was just certain points in the game where I dreaded fighting enemies not because they were difficult, but that I had to engage in the games combat system. I do think these games (along with the infection trilogy) deserve an actual remake to really make this series shine, as I do believe the .hack franchise is overall criminally underrated.
