Bio
A french guy who plays way too many games with varying degrees of success.
Ratings explained for anyone curious:
Generally speaking 4.5-5 star ratings are games that impacted my life in a significant way and/or that I could pull out at any time and still enjoy.
4 Stars are for games I view as being among the best of their kinds.
3.5 star games are excellent games that either significantly improved on what came before them and/or created something new and laid the groundwork for games to come.
2-3 star games are good games that have flaws that kept them from the top spots. Now mind you, this is opinionated, so sometimes those "flaws" are just not being what I wanted from the game, or not having enough content.
1.5 stars are games I got some enjoyment out of but less than the frustration of playing them.
1 star and below are games I just really disliked. I know some are objectively good games but I just really hated them.

I started playing this game when it was still in very early access and it has come an incredible way to reach the 1.0 we're at now.
This is now a full fledged, incredibly polished platform fighter roguelike. It wears it's Smash bros and Hades inspirations proudly while still creating something wholly unique and of its own.
While you always play the same character, you have different movesets based on which of the 10 weapons you run, as well as optional mid run abilities you can collect, and modifiers to the properties of your moveset.
Overall I strongly recommend this to anyone who like platform fighters or action roguelike games; it's amongst the best of both worlds.

The love child between Diablo's accessibility and Path of Exile's complexity. This ARPG allows for very deep customization while still being very approachable and easy to understand.
So far I've enjoyed the game a lot more than I expected, especially when I realized my various characters were playing vastly differently.
The only real negatives I have so far are that the end game is only okay, and the story gets very lackluster despite the interesting premise.
Outside of that, if you like fluid ARPG combat and deeply customizable builds, this is a game for you.

This is an objectively fantastic game. It looks way better than its predecessor and plays smoothly (Even on steam deck?!). Great roster and customization options.
So why only 3.5 stars? It's just not for me is the simple answer. I've tried to play Tekken a few times over the years and I always enjoy it for a few hours then bounce off. Part of it is being a decade behind the meta, and part of it is that I want it to be more like Soul Calibur (Which isn't fair). I can't pin down exactly why I always bounce off Tekken but I'm accepting now that maybe this franchise isn't for me.
