Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is a free post-launch addon which adds the multiplayer section to the game.
At first, you might think that this is just an additional way to make you spend the hard earned money on the PS Plus subscription service, but you're wrong. It's much more than a coop multiplayer. This DLC or addon offers many different gamemodes for you to try and on the top of that, not all gamemodes strictly require you to play with someone else, making this also a semi-singleplayer experience worth trying. After some time when you level up your characters, you will soon realise how much content and customisation options there are for a free DLC.
All in all, this post-launch addition to the game gives players many more hours apart from the main game to sink into the coop experience with other more or less experienced samurai.

Assassin's Creed III is an action-adventure stealth game that was originally released in 2012. and got its remastered version in 2019. featuring improved gameplay, enhanced graphics, 4K resolution and all previously released single-player addons and DLCs.
The game mainly follows the story of Connor Kenway set during the American Revolutionary War. Connor is soon on a quest of vengeance after his mother died while his village was being attacked by Templars. Soon after, his visions led him to an old Assassin who helps him in his quest.
Along the journey, as always, you will have the possibility to meet great known figures, one of them here is George Washington.
The first thing you start to notice is an improvement in gameplay, controls the most, which are very similar to the later released AC IV and AC Rogue.
Unfortunately there is already an issue when the first cutscene comes, the faces are if all characters had plastic surgery and they look horrible, especially Juno. Apart from that, when talking about graphical issues there is also the unrealistic and outdated water reflections in towns where in some missions when the weather is foggy the reflections from water are is if there isn't any fog at all. Fortunately the water reflections in naval missions are far more detailed. The freerun is clunky as it was before, that part of the game didn't change, but it stayed similar to the older games. Also when engaged in combat some soldiers tend do appear out of nowhere making fights longer than they should be.
I also have to note that I've had some major game crashes while playing as Desmond Miles. I noted that as I never had any game crashes while playing other AC games (taking in mind that I've played all AC games after the game had several post-launch patches).
One thing that can also appear more than several times and they are easy to spot are the off-sync between lips, voice and subtitles.
Apart from those issues as this is my first time playing AC III, I have to say that I am amazed by how much content this game offers when comparing to the Ezio triology. Not all content are equally easy to access and you need to take some time to explore it, but it offers much.
There is also a wanted level called notoriety level, which affects on how easily you get into a fight after being spotted by guards. After reaching the third level special guards called Jagers randomly appears all around the town and there are several ways to lower that level, the easiest one includes bribing Town Criers and Printers.
When speaking of combat, the combat is fluid, including many different weapon types, combat and kill moves, making Connor one of the most lethal Assassin so far.
The Tyranny of King Washington DLC is a three part story in an alternative future where George won the war using of the Apple of Eden. Even though Connor thinks that something happened to George after he left him the reality in this story is that Connor has never met George nor any other character he encountered in the main game.
George fell under the control of the Apple and he starts to spread terror and famine killing anyone who thinks the opposite. As Connor is unable to win this fight alone, he decides to put himself under the influence of the tea to envoke unnatural powers to help him.
While you'll still be visiting the same locations as before, there are several new side quests offering some variety into the game. What you also have to be aware of is that enemies will always immediately attack you on sight, so be careful of every step you take.
All in all AC III offers much content and variety but unfortunately not everything is as polished as it should be. The main problems are the faces and off-sync between lips, voice and subtitles in cutscenes and few other minor graphical and gameplay issues which makes the game less enjoyable.

2015
Kitten Squad is a free and fun twin-stick shooter game, easy and accessible.
While it can be hard at first, you will soon understand the best way to defeat each enemy and after several tries, you'll be able to finish every main quest without any struggle.
After some time the game will start to be quite repetitive as this game doesn't have many types of enemies, so after completing several runs, it will become boring and repetitive.
All in all, this game doesn't give you any challenge and after few hours it becomes boring due to repetitive enemies, but well, after all, it's free.

The Light in the Darkness is a free-to-play educational game where you relive a short story of a Jewish family after the Germans' occupation of France.
The story overall is quite short and the story only follows up until they were all sent to camps, after that, the ending scenes shows up. Graphically it isn't anything outstanding and the storytelling isn't the best. Everything is text-based with only few short custcenes.
All in all, the game isn't impressive by any means, but it still gives a short, strong and emotional insight of what life used to be for all Jewish people living during the WWII.

Celebrities Hacked is a new semi-free-to-play spin on the classic arcade formula of Xonix, that rewards your reflexes and skills.
The game offers you first few levels for free, others have to be paid to access them, but all of them are pretty funny and challenging in a special way. The main goal of the game is to reveal the photo a certain amount of percentage, after that the whole photo is revealed for itself.
All in all a fun and thrilling game, each level, except the first one or two are going to be easy, those levels serve as an introduction to the game mechanics, but later, the challenge begins.

The game is almost perfect, the graphics are absolutely amazing. The big amount of cars and tracks are going to keep you busy for a long long time, the career mode is amazing and well designed, but outside driving there isn't anything that makes you really think you are getting somewhere.
The best way to play this game is with a steering wheel as this game is a pure racing simulation. Every track can be driven at any time of the day with snow, rain, heavy rain, fog, etc... The only problem with this game is that some cars are not easy to control without the right setup and you will probably need to spend many hours finding the best setup for each track, and also the fact that this is not a racing game meant for playing on a controller. ( what I want to say is that it is not easy to adjust the controller as perfect as in GT Sport, Dirt, Grid )

Need for Speed: Carbon is a racing arcade released in 2006. by Electronic Arts and developed by EA Canada, EA Black Box and Rovio Mobile. The plot of the game is revolved in a fictional city called Palmont City after the events of NfS: Most Wanted.
The game's mechanics are pretty similar to Most Wanted, the only main difference is that you're again driving illegal races at night.
The first thing that happens is that you're chased by Cross while trying to get back in town. After he chases you down, you met Darius. He explains to you that many things changed the night you left Palmont City, the area is divided into 4 regions, every region controlled by a crew. You're given the mission to take control of the other opponent's territories. The map is filled with different events like quick races, checkpoints, drifting,... after finishing at least two events in an area, that area is automatically controlled by your crew. After taking all areas, you have to defeat the boss by successfully finishing first in a city race and canyon event which is pretty similar to touge (two phases, firstly you're behind the opponent and then the opposite, the closer you're to him, the more points you score and those points are reduced in the later phase when he is doing the same you did in the first phase, if you lose all points, you lose.).
Apart from the career, you're given a set of challenges divided into three tiers, the first two tiers just gives you access to a higher tier, while the last tier, gold challenges gives you in-game rewards. Not only that but if you complete specific side-missions like have 8 cars in your garage, complete 10 quick races and similar objectives, you also get rewards which can be used in all game's modes.
By completing almost every single event, occuping territories, taking down bosses, finishing four specific missions or finishing gold challenges, you get rewards like cars, car's parts, perfomance updates and liveries. Those items can be used in the career mode by spending money earned by completing career races or in quick races.
When talking about in-game rewards, in the last territory, almost every races gives you a new car that can be purchased, but still you're not given the money to buy them so easily leading to actually having only one main tier 3 car in your garage.
There are many customisation and perfomance upgrades options, every car can look just the way you want it, but unfortunately, even though we are taking races during night, there are no neon light options available, but even without them you will have a great time making the perfect-looking car.
The wanted system is pretty similar to Most Wanted, the cops are really smart and aggressive, but the only thing that in my opinion could've been improved is higher heat ranks in early game territories. Not only is there a difficulty spike when entering the last territory, but also the heat rank is greatly increased leading to more cops appearances, they could've prepared us to that by giving us more cops chases in the earlier part of the story.
All in all, a great sequel to the NfS series, the game is pretty good, with many options and different events available for you to try, great usage of canyons, the main feature of the game. Unfortunately there are no neon lights customisation and the difficulty spike in the last zone takes some time to adapt, especcially because of the heat level. Still even with those small issues, the game feels like a proper NfS game.

The Reaper of Souls is an expansion of Diablo III, released in 2014 and featured in the Ultimate Evil Collection of the game.
The Expansion set offers a new act, with its own small story and boss. The map design are really well made and in my opinion better than the ones in the early phase of the Diablo main story. Before entering this new act, you have to first finish the main story.
All in all, a small, but still enjoyable expansion with great level design and boss fight, probably the hardest boss in the game.

2012
Diablo III is a hack&slash game, third game in the Diablo series released by Blizzard in 2012 on consoles and PC.
The game offers a mediocre linear story, but the main feature is the great gameplay and RNG system done right. The main goal of the game is pretty straightforward, you have to kill the Prime Evil, Diablo.
You have several different classes to choose, each class offers its own passive and active abilities and weapons.
The game offers great replayability, where you can finish the story again or accept different bounties that will lead you to a boss fight.
All in all, this game isn't as good as Diablo II, but it still offers a great gameplay and gameplay mechanics which offers an acceptable endgame even though it can become repetitive after some time.

2007
World in Conflict was developed by Massive Entertainment and released by Vivendi Games on PC in 2007.
This game differs much from others real-time strategy games like Company of Heroes or Command&Conquer titles, we still have units to command, but this time, units are limited by the amount of tactical resources within the game, so every unit counts, and you have to think twice about your every step before engaging your units in a fight. What also differs from other games is the addition of many air support options ready to be called when needed (also limited but easy to get). The story is again the old-fashioned USA vs Russia war. The Russian army invades USA, and we follow the mission of one battalion on their way to liberate their soil from the Russian invasion. The campaign is about 15 hours of gameplay, less than 20 missions, even though the gameplay and story is memorable, the multiplayer component isn't as good as the main game, I haven't found any enjoyment in it.
All in all, a great game worth playing more than once (only because of the story and gameplay, not the multiplayer).

The Soviet Assault DLC is the only addition this game has received and it was released in 2009., where you take control of the Soviet army in a short campaign which contains much fewer missions then the base game.
The Soviet Assault DLC is a pretty short experience and I think they could have done more, only 6 more story missions, without any remarkable additions to the game.
All in all, I think this DLC is not worth getting since there isn't much apart the few missions that you get. It's a good idea to see the other side of the battlefield, but if there was almost as many missions as the main game features, it would've been a proper addition to the game.

The Bad Blood DLC is the only addition to the Watch Dogs game and it was released in 2014., you play as T-Bone, a character you already know from the main game.
The Bad Blood DLC is too short and forgettable, T-Bone is almost like Aiden, but has some different skills, the side quest are too repetitive, almost a copy of the based game. There are not any improvements, nor any new experience. The new only thing you get is a RC Car.
All in all, a short and forgettable experience without any new addition aside the short story and a new gadget.

2014
Watch Dogs is an open-world action-adventure game released by Ubisoft in 2015. on consoles and PC.
This game is a slightly different game from games like Grand Theft Auto games, this time, you are a hacker in a quest for vengeance.
As we follow the story of Aiden Pierce, a great hacker, who tries to solve the mystery of why is his family attacked by Fixers, we find out many other problems in Chicago. The city of Chicago and Aiden Pierce being a Vigilante are such a excellent match, as Chicago, being known by the amount of crimes.
The NPCs are amazing, when you walk the streets, you fell like everything is alive. The gameplay is great, the story is simply amazing, the graphics are okay, but still, could be better.
There are some things that needs to be improved, like driving and repetitive side quests, but apart from that you will still have a great time doing different side activities.
All in all, I recommend it for all open-world game fans. If not for the gameplay, at least for the story which is amazing, thrilling and fun.

The Following DLC is a major addition released in 2016. featuring a completely new map and story that occurred after the main story.
The DLC is a great addition to the main story which takes place in the countryside near Harran after the ending of the main game. What you get here is a small new story, a much bigger map and the possibility to drive a buggy which for some reason is the only working vehicle left in Harran.
I liked the DLC, but it's not as good the main game since many of the quests were scattered around the map, and made completing these tasks much more of driving chore and more less combat since the map is bigger than expected.
