Games that I played in 2024

I made a compilation of the games I have played in 2024. Whether they are recently released titles or older games that I am experiencing for the first time, this should be the perfect place to make quick notes on my thoughts on games if I happen to not give any of these my full written reviews because either I have little to say or I just dislike it to waste my time on that

Dying Light

Really simple, but addictive Zombie game that knows what it is.
