Witcher 3 GOTY edition is simply the best modern RPG to exist on the market, it has tons of content with the expansions and delivers an epic experience that make this game one of the best in it's genre. You have a great cast of characters and interesting NPC's that aren't generic cookie cutter people who exist in many other RPG's today, you want to find out more about them and won't skip the dialogue because it's actually interesting to listen to them, they blend well with the world itself and add to the story. Graphics are fantastic especially with the next gen updates which bring ray tracing and updated textures and models with some nice additions to the gameplay as well. Gameplay is fun and there are tons of quests to complete.
VTMB is simply the best vampire game to exist currently and one of the best RPG's made in terms of choice, atmosphere, soundtrack and replay value with the different clans you can select. UNOFFICIAL PATCH is a must for this game and is still being updated to this day which shows the incredible support this game still has. You can select from a variety of clans when creating your character with each clan being fleshed out (some more than others) each clan has it's strengths and weaknesses with npcs reacting differently based on what you pick. I recommend picking malkavian for the dialogue you get. The soundtrack and atmosphere of the game is fantastic and draws you into the world of darkness, you also get a decent amount of choice for an RPG which is fantastic and the characters are actually interesting to speak to. Despite being a mess of a game on release with the unofficial patch this is a must play for any RPG fan.
I'm a big fan of the sherlock game series especially crimes and punishment but this game simply feels very outdated with the series not progressing enough to a modern standard. The good parts of the game are the mystery elements with Sherlock and Watson piecing together clues gathered from items, interrogations and examining the environment for clues. This is where the game is at it's strongest point as you piece together events and uncover what happened for each case. There is no real failure state in this game as you can just mash together clues until eventually you hit the right decision and find who the perpetrator of the crime is. The map itself is incredibly basic and is lacking in detail for larger areas, this becomes confusing when tracking multiple cases as you can't really tell where you are or what area of the map you have to go to. You will end up spending a lot of time just wandering the area aimlessly hoping to find the right location because the map system is so incredibly poor. The graphics feel incredibly outdated for a remake that was released in 2023, character models and textures look like they came from 2015, animations look rather wonky and some of the areas look incredibly bland texture wise. This game is fun when doing the investigations but the outdated mechanics and clunky nature of the game make it tedious when trying to get to this point.
