Dragon Age: Origins
2009
Establishes a lot of lore and characters that would make their presences better felt in later games, and for that reason it's probably essential. Nevertheless, you won't find a more drab, tedious hero's journey in the BioWare catalogue.
Gears of War
2006
A true five-bagger. Large men doing violence is an evergreen genre and these dudes are huge. Monstrous. You've never seen 'em this big before!
Atomic Heart

Atomic Fart is so bad that I have renounced Communism and have become a libertarian.
Atomic Heart

A complete turkey. Bioshock with brain damage. Almost endearing how obnoxious this game is and how little of it seems to fit together properly. At least it's a real video game!
A scuzzy masterpiece. Games have never looked this fucked-up since. Two perverts rampage through Hong Kong in the gaming equivalent of a liveleak video. Life-affirmingly nasty.

Evil West
2022
Completely blown away by how solid of a game this is.
From it's reveal trailer, Evil West wore it's heart on it's sleeve as a straight up third person shooter taking inspiration from seventh-gen console titles like Gears of War where you play as a cowboy beating the shit out of evil creatures. It is as simple as that. It does what it sets out to do very well.
That said, I totally get why people say this is a shallow experience. It looks and feels like a 4K rerelease of an Xbox 360 game that never existed until now. Evil West is just a game where if you look at the trailer and if you feel nothing for it at all, there will be nothing for you if you play it.
I would hope whether or not this is your jam that there's an appreciation for it's up-front honesty. Especially because this is one the best optimized games to come out on PC this year and isn't overly long. It's here for a good time, not a long one.
I am chomping a the bit for more from this developer because they seem to have a grasp on making shit that looks cool, runs immaculately, and isn't demanding too much of the player other than to enjoy this videogame ass videogame.

overwhelmed right now, having just finished the game. i hope to find more words eventually but this is the great outstanding narrative achievement of the year. a veritable landmark entry in a medium still deeply facile, at least in the realm of studio output. a crash course in history and analysis and what haunting really is. stunned, just stunned.
