The fact that this game officially got abandoned in 2018 will always make me pretty sad. So much potential, man. As is, though, its still really good. Every single map is really fun with tons of rooms to explore, or in the case of the harbor, tons of crates to hide and be sneak around in. All the modes are pretty fun, and I haven't even delved in the modding scene. Which could be terrible since I've never taken a look at it, but eh, I wouldn't dock any points if the mods suck. Killing in this game is a lot more satisfying than most others, and I attribute a lot of that to the sound effects. They're not complex or anything, but they have a punchiness to them that I really love. The weapons are all fun to use, and trying to remain undetected can be quite fun, even If I prefer just charging in and taking on everyone at once :D

this game has been downloaded on every computer i've used since i was allowed to play video games in like 2017. i have beaten it with my little brother more times than i can count. i will remember this game on my deathbed. my last words will be [broforce announcer voice] "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
It didn't feel like an appreciable step up from the last game. A lot of the awesome traversal abilities that make the game fun are given to you too late in the game. The final act also drags quite a bit. Narratively, I feel like I would have been way more invested if they had stuck with 1 strong villain for the duration.

Plants vs. Zombies

A staple in the classic mobile game genre. This game is nearly perfect, the music, the gameplay, Crazy Dave are all so amazing. I often go back and replay every couple of months because it is just has so much replayablity.
Haiku, the Robot
2022
Fun little metroidvania, it's overall well executed, but it steers a bit too close to Hollow Knight in many areas and feels a bit unoriginal as a result.
Gameplay is decently fluid, platforming was pretty good and snappy, but combat lacks a bit of juice to it. It felt pretty fair and balanced though.
The world is interesting enough to explore, with some nicely hidden collectibles. It's not too big or too small, which is nice.
Visually, it's pretty good pixel art. I liked the color coding of the different areas.
Overall, an enjoyable pickup, scratches the hollow knight well for a bit. I won't push for 100% though.

Doom
1993
Still holds up to this day as one of the most pure fun FPS games ever made. Hunting for keycards breaks up the breakneck pace sometimes, but Doom II has that problem more and it feels more restrained in this one. The guns feel awesome, the levels are fun to explore, and boss fights are a blast
Another terrible hunting game I don't know why i own. Giving it one point higher than the other one because it seems to maybe have had some sort of budget to it.
