As a standalone game, DOOM 3 is honestly pretty solid. Released back in 2004, its graphics—while obviously dated now—were impressive for the time, especially considering it was competing with titles like Far Cry and GTA: San Andreas. So, from a historical perspective, you really can’t complain too much. What makes the current offering even more appealing is the price. For around $10, you’re getting DOOM 3, its expansion content, plus DOOM and DOOM II. That’s a great deal, especially if you want to dive into the roots of the franchise. I had a lot of fun revisiting the originals, and while DOOM 3 is slower-paced, I still found some enjoyment in it.

That said, DOOM 3 isn’t just a standalone title—it’s a DOOM game. And when you judge it within the franchise, things fall apart. Compared to what came before and after, DOOM 3 just doesn't hold up. It’s the only entry that leans heavily into survival horror instead of the fast, brutal, adrenaline-fueled action the series is known for. The pacing is sluggish, the enemy AI is lackluster, and overall, it just lacks that signature DOOM energy. The gameplay is linear, encounters feel repetitive, and there’s very little variety in mechanics. To be honest, the main reason I picked this up was to complete my DOOM collection. Unless that’s your motivation too, I wouldn’t recommend DOOM 3 to anyone trying to get into the franchise. If you want a true DOOM experience, skip this one and go straight to DOOM (2016).

Typically, i use ChatGPT to help refine my reviews so that I can properly display my emotion towards each game that I review. This game has filled me with so much rage that I don't think I am going to have any issue keeping my review as is; this is coming straight from the HEART.

This game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks. Imagine that Fortnite and Apex Legends had a baby, but instead of being birthed normally, it was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ out. Well this game is that baby. When you first download this game, your first few matches are going to be filled with bots; you're going to feel like the best player to ever touch Splitgate 2. Maybe even inspiring you to make a YouTube channel dedicated to Splitgate content. Well, once that ecstasy is over, you are paired against the sweatiest, jobless, bitchless players that this game can scrape out of the bottom of the bucket. You can smell their armpits through the killcams, and taste the sweat dripping off of every bullet that they shoot into you. Meanwhile, your team is filled with people who clearly work 9-5 jobs daily and have never touched a controller in their life. If you're really unlucky, like I was, your teammates literally have BOT in their names... your teammates will be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BOTS while your enemy is an MLG league practicing for their next underground Splitgate orgy fest.

So maybe you think, "Oh, well I'll change my loadout a little bit so I can have more of an advantage!" KEEP ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DREAMING! Starting out, you only have access to whatever the first weapons are for each character; now, because of how retardedly unbalanced this game's matchmaking is, you will never progress. You want to get an SMG so you can have a chance of killing your enemy? Ok, but first you have to max your character's level out while fighting against Splitgate warriors while also gaining almost no XP every match.

Their attempt at Battle Royale is god awful. Map is painfully small and none of your guns ever do enough damage to get a kill.

This game is not even worth the free price point that it is at; I should have gotten paid $69.99 for infecting my SSD with this STD labeled as a video game.

Evil West feels like a wild mashup of modern God of War with a gritty, supernatural Western twist; think cowboys, vampires, and over-the-top action. The combat is punchy, satisfying, and incredibly addictive, with a steady stream of upgrades that keep things fresh and rewarding. Even on the hardest difficulty, the game strikes a nice balance between challenge and mastery. Once you get the hang of it, the flow of combat becomes second nature, and that’s where the real fun begins. I’ve 100% completed this game on PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC, and I don’t regret a single minute. If you’re into brutal brawlers with a unique setting, this one’s an absolute blast.

This bundle is hands-down the best modern way to enjoy the original DOOM and DOOM II. Not only do you get both legendary titles, but it also includes additional levels that add even more value for longtime fans and newcomers alike. The updated menus are intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple to jump straight into the action. Gameplay has been thoughtfully refined; controls are smoother, performance is snappy, and the classic fast-paced combat feels better than ever without sacrificing the retro charm. At just $10, this is an absolute must-have for any DOOM fan, whether you're revisiting the classics or diving in for the first time.

Going into DOOM: The Dark Ages, I wasn’t entirely sold. The early gameplay footage suggested a slower pace compared to the breakneck speed of DOOM Eternal, and as someone who appreciated the frantic intensity of that game, I wasn’t sure how to feel. Still, I picked it up just a couple of days after launch—and now, having spent significant time with it, I find myself with mixed but mostly positive impressions.

First and foremost, The Dark Ages is a fantastic game. It feels like a deliberate middle ground between the mechanics of DOOM 2016 and Eternal. It’s not as grounded and weighty as 2016’s iteration, but it also dials back the acrobatics and high-speed parkour of Eternal. This hybrid design seems to aim for broader appeal, which I understand—it makes the game more accessible to a wider audience. However, that approach comes with trade-offs.

The biggest one, in my opinion, is difficulty. I started my first run on ‘Hurt Me Plenty’ (the standard difficulty) and found it surprisingly easy. Enemies went down without much resistance, and I rarely felt pushed to adapt or rethink my tactics. Hoping for more of a challenge, I restarted on ‘Ultra Nightmare,’ expecting a punishing experience that would really test my skills. Surprisingly, aside from needing to keep a closer eye on my health due to the perma-death mechanic, the difficulty didn’t feel significantly ramped up. It was still too easy for a mode that's supposed to be the pinnacle of challenge.

That said, this isn't a condemnation of the game—far from it. I'm a long-time DOOM fan, and The Dark Ages is a worthy addition to the franchise. The soundtrack is everything you'd expect from DOOM: loud, heavy, and absolutely brutal. Every weapon hit feels powerful and satisfying, and the moment-to-moment combat still delivers that core DOOM adrenaline rush.

But there are a couple of technical issues worth pointing out, especially for PC players. Performance-wise, the game is surprisingly demanding. When Eternal released, I was shocked at how well-optimized it was—my older system was pulling 200 FPS with no trouble. In contrast, The Dark Ages struggles to hit even 130 FPS on a significantly more powerful rig, even at the lowest graphical settings and in low-demand scenes. That’s a red flag for optimization.

Another annoyance is the camera feel. There’s a strange sense of mouse acceleration or input smoothing that I can’t seem to disable. It’s subtle, but it makes aiming feel inconsistent and less responsive, especially compared to Eternal. I’ve experimented with settings like VSync, NVIDIA Reflex+Boost, and even disabled “Present From Compute” in the options menu, which seemed to help slightly—but the problem persists. Whether it’s tied to the engine or an unexposed sensitivity curve, it’s one of my biggest frustrations with the game right now.

ULTRAKILL is a brutal and lightning fast FPS that does not pull any punches. Imagine the most difficult game you have ever played, then give it a shotgun and crank the speed to 11. This is not a shooter for the faint of heart. Every second demands precision and momentum. You need razor sharp aim and constant movement just to stay alive. Enemies are unforgiving and the boss fights are absolutely punishing, but that is part of what makes it so compelling. ULTRAKILL does not just test your skills, it sharpens them. The retro inspired visuals perfectly complement the chaos, delivering a nostalgic look that never gets in the way of the action. The soundtrack is a nonstop surge of adrenaline that keeps you locked into the rhythm of the fight. This is a brilliant example of high intensity game design that is uncompromising, thrilling, and endlessly fun. Skip downloading Aimlab or buying Kovaak's, just get this game.

The Resident Evil 4 remake is a shining example of how to do a remake right. This isn't just the original game with a fresh coat of ray tracing, a minimalist HUD, and a $60 price tag; this feels like a completely new vision from Capcom, meticulously rebuilt from the ground up while staying faithful to the essence of the original. Whether you're the type to play once and move on or a die-hard completionist, Resident Evil 4 has hours of content that will keep you hooked. Every moment is packed with tension, action, and atmosphere, making it just as gripping for returning fans as it is for newcomers. This isn't just a remake, it’s the definitive way to experience one of the greatest survival horror games of all time.

Clicker Heroes is one of those games many of us stumbled upon as kids while browsing fun game websites on school computers. It’s the perfect low-effort, high-reward game; ideal for when you’re burnt out from intense gaming sessions but still want something satisfying to play. Whether you’re actively clicking or just letting the game run in the background, Clicker Heroes keeps rewarding you at your own pace. It doesn’t demand much, but it still gives you that sense of progression that makes it easy to sink hours into. Sometimes, you just need a game that lets you clock in, do as much or as little as you want, and still feel like you’re making progress.

Without a doubt, Left 4 Dead 2 is Valve’s finest masterpiece. When it launched, no other first-person zombie shooter came close, and even in 2025, it still holds up as one of the best single player/co-op experiences out there. The tight controls, solid weapon variety, and sheer chaos of fighting massive hordes of zombies at any given moment make every match an adrenaline rush. But what truly sets L4D2 apart is its incredible modding community. From simple quality-of-life tweaks to complete overhauls with new maps, weapons, and skins, the possibilities are endless. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a hardcore PC enthusiast, Left 4 Dead 2 is a must-have. It’s not just a game; it’s a timeless classic that continues to evolve thanks to its dedicated fanbase.

DOOM Eternal isn't just the best FPS game in existence, it’s a masterclass in fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled combat. Stepping back into the boots of the Doom Slayer, you’ll find a familiar loadout from DOOM 2016, but this time, everything is cranked up to 11. The mechanics are absolutely insane, allowing for acrobatic maneuvers, fluid weapon swaps, and high-speed carnage that keeps every encounter fresh and exhilarating. Of course, no DOOM experience would be complete without an absolute banger of a soundtrack, and Doom Eternal delivers. The pulsating metal score fuels the chaos, making every fight feel like a brutal symphony of destruction. For me, this game isn’t just an FPS, it’s my favorite aim trainer. With its breakneck speed and precision-based combat, Doom Eternal forces you to master accuracy, reflexes, and movement, skills that will elevate your gameplay in just about any other shooter. Mastering it isn’t just satisfying, it’s a rite of passage for FPS fans.
