To me, this is the definitive Soulsborne Experience.

I love this game's phenomenal atmosphere, music, lore, character art and development, landscape and environmental storytelling, and clean, simple "You Died" prompt. I started my Dark Souls addiction with Dark Souls III. I felt the same way about this game but only more appreciative for introducing me to a different style of playing games.

Elden Ring brings some of the best features from previous games and pushes them into an open world, where every angle can be a gorgeous view yet daunting horrific enemies just awaiting you to drop your guard. I'll never forget preventing myself from reading any guides or walkthroughs & going down the Siofra River Well elevator and just taking that sight in.

If you're tempted to get into a FromSoft game, I highly recommend this one. It's highly replayable, has diverse builds and gorgeous visuals, and is addictive, with open-world Co-op and PvP accessible almost anytime and anywhere.

I repurchased it at release, and I'm pretty ashamed of where this game went, thanks to Paradox's ownership purchase—As of writing this review, I had completed the campaign, soon all achievements and 200+ hours in free play.

Prison Architect is an enjoyable prison tycoon, allowing you to plan, build & oversee your inmates. Upgrade research techs to enhance your prison & staff, take in different types of inmates such as low, medium, high, maximum security, and death sentence, or purchase a DLC to unlock the ability to build Psych Wards.

I've seen the second, and I'm not sure how it will hold up, as it will be entirely Paradox this time around. I miss Introvision, and I sincerely hope they release another prison builder, but until then, I will stick to this gem despite its unfixed bugs.

I played over & over & over & over & over again, only to do it over again.

Borderlands 2 was one of the best games I've played. I had the honor of experiencing this story first-hand with my best friends; those memories will live forever. If you've never played a Borderlands game, this is the best place to start, in my opinion, as they have updated the graphics slightly over time, along with some other fixes.

GOTY is 100% worth on sale, especially if you pick up two copies; you won't be disappointed.

It's obvious the strength this game had on the upcoming youth and previous generation, but to me; it created not just fun moments in between life but genuine memories I could never forget. I started playing in the "Ye Old Beta" days when grass was as green as lime dye & food was instantaneous and your only means of healing. That said, I usually place a playtime on my logged games, but this is the only title to which I couldn't even estimate the hours I've put into this game. The only scale of gameplay I can provide is that I started playing back in 2010/2011 and only recently played less & less as of 2023.

To prevent regurgitating almost everything said about this game, if you haven't bought this or even tried it alone or with friends-- please do.

It's not just a game now aimed towards children; you'll find what keeps you coming back one block at a time.

It's one of the top three games I've ever enjoyed playing.

From the music, character designs, lore, level architecture, and atmosphere to the iconic poison swamp, this was my first completed (and 100%) soul title, and I could not be happier. This game sparked mass intrigue in the story of Dark Souls, Bloodborne & even Elden Ring. Like The Elder Scrolls, I consumed almost every bit of backstory of story characters, bosses, and even some items or mere consumables.

This would be my biggest suggestion if you want to get into a Souls game. People say it's the easiest part of the franchise next to Elden Ring, but it depends on how you want to experience these games. Try wielding a greatsword, casting magic from afar, or mixing ranged and dual wield for captivating gameplay.

It is even better once you start getting into the Cinders Mod or others on Nexus ;)

It's a real treasure of an indie game.

The atmosphere reminds me of Darkest Dungeon, but instead of characters fighting through a side-scroller, you are a paranoid schizophrenic fisherman just trying to make it by. This gives me some nostalgia for The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, as I say, isle to isle in the big, lonesome ocean.

If you are considering a laid-back fishing game with some fantastic elements blended in, I'd look into Dredge, even if it is not on sale.

I loved my time with this game. I might've made the mistake of going Dark Urge blind on my first run; however, every choice felt so well crafted by Larian in this. I sunk hundreds of hours into Divinity Original Sin 2 but could never finish after repeatedly picking and putting it down. I played both with a friend, and this was a much better title than Divinity, even regarding co-op. Playing this with my friend was an absolute (no pun intended) blast. Running as two villains, a barbarian & necromancer, we ensure to backstab, lie, rob, murder, and obtain anything we can get our goblin-like hands on.

This game was well thought out; with every choice, you will want to play through multiple times to experience different outcomes. Whether you are an excellent upstanding paladin, a deceptive warlock, or piss yourself as a Dark Urge at the end of the game- this is truly a game worth sinking time into.

Don't backlog this too long if you love a story-rich, strategic, and dynamic combat, hot boobie scene-filled game. Lastly, shout out to Minthara. She understood my urges when nobody else did.
