At first I thought this game was overrated and avoided trying it for the longest time. Eventually when nobody would shut up about it I gave it a try and was not disappointed. This is an incredibly fun social deduction game, even more-so with friends to play with. (As long as you don't cheat.)

An unforgiving, brutal survival game at first, but once you get into the flow, you can't help yourself from trying again and again until you breach the 100 days mark. A must buy if you like survival games to any extent.

I vastly prefer the group and levels of the first Left 4 Dead, but there is no reason to buy it anymore. If you didn't know, Left 4 Dead 2 includes all the campaigns from this game, with added melee weapons, a new throwable, and multiple new special infected.

Left 4 Dead 2 also has the workshop, which can bring this games one unique survival map into it. Don't buy Left 4 Dead unless you are on a nostalgia trip, go buy the second one.

Sonic Mania is the best Sonic game. Period. It melds together the best of classic levels with brand new stages that follow the formula with an expertise I would not have thought possible.

My only complaints are that there aren't enough new zones.

Perfect at what it set out to be:

Infuriating.

An almost perfect addition to Half-Life. Though not important to the overarching story (yet) it is 100% worth a buy if you enjoyed the base game. Opposing Force is really just more of the same with some new weapons and some nifty ideas.

Opposing Force ran me just short of 10 hours, which is pretty damn good for $5. Or you could grab it on sale for $1.

Portal is an amazing puzzle game. If you haven't played it, do yourself a favour and buy it. The puzzles are smart while not being too difficult, and the dialogue can be hilarious.

The game is short though, even doing extra stuff and being stuck on a puzzle or two the game only lasted two hours. I would wait for a sale.

Despite its numerous flaws, The Evil Within is one of my favorite survival horror games. The game is challenging, and very frugal with ammo and supplies. For me, this is a good point; I can understand, however, how this might turn some people off.

Being able to run for more than three seconds would be nice though.

Great way to spice up your desktop.

I love Resident Evil 2 Remake. To be clear, I have not played the original and view this mostly as its own game, and as its own game I think it is pretty damn close to being a perfect survival horror video-game. The zombies are incredibly well animated and every shot you place into them feels like it hits with great impact. Mr. X is really scary sometimes and hearing his thundering footsteps makes you want to get the ♥♥♥♥ outta there.

The only flaw I can come up with is the B scenario. It just does not add up the way that the story plays out for the second playthrough but still its more RE2R so what can I really complain.

Play this game. Buy it on sale and play it, you owe it to yourself to experience this one if you like horror or Resident Evil or just games in general.
