Having played the first installment of the Outlast series, I have to say that Outlast 2 is a whole experience in and of itself compared to the first one. The chases are more intense, the graphics are massively improved, and the music combined with the ambiance makes the game worth buying, in my opinion. This doesn't mean that the game has some flaws, which I'll express now.

1. Barely any hints or no hints at all

The game rarely gives you any hints into what you are doing, which makes the whole game feel like I'm playing "Where's Waldo?" But instead of Waldo, I'm looking for the objective.

2. Flashback chases are sometimes a running simulator
The flashbacks in this game are what really made me play Outlast 2 in the first place, and seeing how poorly some of the demon chases were made honestly disappointed me.

3. Lost or cut content
On March 28th, 2018, Red Barrels released a patch that removed a few chases and enemy spawns (Example: Chase after the Chapel encounter) from the game. I'm not sure why this decision was made, but I think that they should've left these chases intact on Nightmare / Insane difficulties.


Conclusion
Should you buy this game? The answer is yes. Even with the flaws I expressed earlier, Outlast 2 is a phenomenal game and a good sequel to the Outlast series as a whole. I would totally recommend it if you have played the original game before.

Important: 2K has pushed an update that installs the 2K Launcher and makes it necessary to launch BioShock: Infinite. Here's a steam guide to disable it completely (it works for the rest of the BioShock franchise too): https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2859537953

BioShock: Infinite took everything that we knew from the previous games, threw them out of the window, and introduced us to a new world with new combat mechanics while keeping the plasmids that we knew and loved as "Vigors."

The floating city of Columbia, packed with the well-written story of Booker DeWitt's motive to rescue Elizabeth, makes up for an immersive single-player story-driven shooter. The plasmids have been replaced with "Vigors." They follow the same logic as the plasmids from the original BioShock, but with their own twists that make them stand out. 

BioShock: Infinite is a reflection of what race relations in the U.S. were like in 1912. BioShock: Infinite often showcases racism, xenophobia, and extremism, as well as the ways religion can manipulate the public into buying into a single point of view, and so on. 

Should you purchase BioShock: Infninite? The answer is yes. There's no other game that mixes FPS mechanics, the outstanding atmosphere of 1912 with its steampunk city-state known as Columbia, and the well-written story of Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth.

BioShock: Infinite gets a 10/10 score from me. I would definitely recommend anyone who hasn't played the game to give it a try, and maybe they will enjoy the rest of the BioShock franchise as I did as well.

Dying Light is an experience like no other. It took the already saturated zombie survival genre and Techland, with their own twists, to craft one of the best zombie apocalypse games in the gaming industry.

The parkour aspect, which offers a new way to traverse the city of Harran, along with the crafting and well-written story, make Dying Light a must-play game for fans of the genre and newcomers alike. The addition of Nighttime Enemies makes traveling both thrilling and dangerous at the same time. Running in the dark doubles your XP at night, making it a high-stakes challenge for those who are brave enough to take an extra risk.

You have the choice to do side missions apart from the main story ones that give Dying Light more replayability and give you extra loot and XP. The DLCs in this game are hit or miss; the only one that is worth purchasing story-wise is Dying Light: The Following which expands the story of the Harran virus after the events of the main game.

I recommend Dying Light to anyone who hasn't given it a try, and trust me, you're going to enjoy it as much as I did.

Rocket League was a breath of fresh air when it came out, took the world by storm, and was eventually bought by none other than Epic Games.

The game's state is one of the biggest downfalls the gaming industry has even seen in a long time. From cheaters and boosted accounts on high ranks to game servers that are receiving DDoS attacks constantly, Epic Games has no interest in expanding Rocket League or giving it the treatment it deserves for the potential it has; they are focused on producing cosmetic slop for the item shop and making the user experience as bad as they possibly can in order for people to leave and eventually kill the game.

Epic Games since they bought Rocket League have removed player-to-player trading, extra game modes that people liked, steam workshop map support, and most importantly, the ability to get the game on the Steam store.

A great game ruined by corporate greed and Epic Games's incompetence.
