The Talos Principle 2 (PC) Review

Way to start the new year with a bang! Ok ok, I was playing this through the end of 2023, but really how else can I put when I finished it? Now don't get me wrong, this did not come out of left field or anything. I absolutely loved the game it's a sequel to, but after my time so far playing with Unreal 5 (in the form of Starship Troopers) I had concerns about performance and general game quality this time around. Thankfully I was not only proven to be worrying over nothing, the game carried by the engine is arguably my favorite game of 2023, taking even the title from the CyberGoddess of Citidel Station's outing! Well done!

Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturn HD Remaster (PC) Review

 

Today, we correct my gaming history by finishing a game I should have played way back on the Playstation 2. Back then, I had no idea what Shin Megami Tensei was and no real interest in the console vs the games I was playing on my Pentium II, so it had no chance of being discovered. In fact, it wasn't till Persona 3 that I took interest in the console at all. So when I found out the Persona games were a spin-off and part of a much bigger family of games called Shin Megami Tensei, it was already too late and this game was very hard (if possible at all) to come by. But sometimes, the world is kind and Atlus saw fit to release this one again before game 5 of this main series comes out. I bought and began playing very shortly after it launched. As I put the controller down, I am glad I finally did.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (PC) Review

Here we have an older game that fans of will forever love to their dying day, claiming it as a hidden gem in the PC gaming world. Seeing people loving it, I wanted to give it shot myself, but sadly, I think this is simply a game that isn’t for me. Add to this some serious bugs and, this was simply never meant to be.
