Borderlands 3 is still a decent game, but it's by far the lowest point in the series. After slogging through the campaign, I didn't even want to play through endgame context. The story just sucked. The only saving grace this game had was the dope cell shaded graphics and awesome weapon variety. Hoping for more with BL4.
Playing this one when it first came out in 2011, I was MIND BLOWN. This was the game that really made me love video games. There is just nothing like slaying dragons, man. Skyrim is so deep and varied that every person has had a different experience playing it. Just one of the best games of all time and I'm so glad I picked this up when it first came out.

Having heard about this game for years, I was super excited to finally play it. It's certainly a fun game but I don't think it quite lives up to the hype. The combat is fun and the different bows keep it varied but the long traversal times from mission to mission make this game seem like a drag to get through. It doesn't help that the story has a very long low point throughout the middle. The game does pick up at the end and has a solid ending with a good boss fight. All in all, decent game that has potential for a much better sequel.

Not a Skater or anything but I believe Skate 3 is one of the best games of all time. Just a blast to get on with friends and do some crazy things that you wouldn't be able to do in real life. All the modes in this one are fun and the campaign is actually a blast to play through. I have had so many great times on this game. Eagerly awaiting the sequel.

The first Battlefield game I ever played and what a surprise hit this game was. I picked it up in a sale shortly after launch not knowing to expect and I was hooked. The futuristic/modern setting is my favorite in a shooter and I loved the dynamic map feature. Gunplay is really tight and the maps are so big that every game is a different experience. This game is a MUST to play with friends though, it doesn't hit the same if you're not with a squad. Overall this is my favorite online shooter of the PS4/Xbox one generation.
Picked this up randomly not knowing if I would like it and so glad I did. I've not played anything like Civ before so this was a revelation for me. Building up an entire country is so fun. You can play this game a million different ways and it's always such a blast. I finally get what people mean when they say "one more turn" as I could not stop playing this.
So boring! Upset I bought this at launch, it was an almost instant regret about 6 hours in. I was like "oh wow this is kinda fun" for a few hours and then realized that there's almost nothing to this game. Like yeah, It's kinda relaxing but that's not what I'm looking for in a video game. If I want to play something relaxing, I'll play a sports game that at least has some strategy to it.
