One of the best games I've ever played but be warned, it can be VERY difficult. Maybe I'm just bad, but I can't beat the Last Autumn story even on easy. :( Also know that since it is very good and challenging that you'll probably want to set a time limit to how long you play. 6-10 hour sessions are the norm for me and I kinda had to stop playing for awhile because I wasn't getting any sleep between Frostpunk and work. Amazing game, I'd recommend it any day!
I bought this game because I've heard good things about the Witcher franchise and I wanted to play them in sequence to see if it'd be to my liking. Well, IT WAS. Ehem... The graphics are obviously dated but not to the extent of being an eyesore or distracting; seems like around the 15 year mark game visuals are just too abstract for my liking but that's me personally. Combat is simple, but not so simple that it'll put you to sleep. It's mainly about click timing and style changes, but you do still have to be mindful of position/movement, target selection and when, where and how to use your signs and alchemy. That is unless you're playing on easy, in which case nighty night! The main character is pretty neat, Geralt is basically whatever you make him. Some people are cringy edgelords so as thus so too will Geralt be. I personally found him to be a well meaning if not slightly passive aggressive guy just trying to make a living. There is the potential for optional sex cutscenes called 'romance cards' but unless you're struggling with sex addiction even worse than I am, you should only expect to see one. Maybe two. If at any point in time you want to see Shani's grandma naked, call your sponsor and/or therapist immediately! The story is really interesting in my opinion because you can take the middle road or pick a side. For instance there's some freaking cannibal living in the swamps who doesn't want you to kill him because he doesn't eat children. Well, if you're a fedora tipping centrist then by all means let him live. I for one don't think the cannibal and the cannibalized are the same! In the end the story leads you to beat down this idiot named Azar Javed who is basically the biggest 3brain of all time. Have fun! My gripes with this game are that the Beast boss is way, way too hard for a low level boss, and I admit I used cheese strats to beat it. The other is that the Kikimore Queen boss is kind of buggy. But yeah, the game is good and you should play it!
Dead Space was the first video game I ever wanted to play when I was younger. I never actually bought the game though and forgot about it. Saw it on sale not long ago and jumped on it. If you've never played it before, don't let its age detur you. It's gameplay has aged well in my opinion, its visuals are somewhat outdated but not to the point of being distracting, it is loads of fun and really draws you in. Did I mention it's scary? Yeah, it's like a 10 hour survival gauntlet and by the end of it you feel like you actually spent the most stressful night of your life on the USG Ishimura. I'd put this game in my top three recommendations to anyone, any day. Play the game. Make us whole.
