DOOM

BIOSHOCK 2: REMASTERED

FPS / ACTION / SINGLEPLAYER / STORY RICH / HORROR / 100%

I feel crazy to say this, but I believe that Minerva's Den is, so far, the best storyline. I never got to play it before, and I'm glad I did this time around.

🔹 CRASHES. A. LOT. Save often.

🔹 Protector trials 👎🏽

BIOSHOCK: REMASTERED

FPS / STORY RICH / ATMOSPHERIC / HORROR / ACTION / 100%

It was a rough fight, but I finally 100% Bioshock Remastered.

It's still one of my favorite stories; it was great getting a chance to go back to Rapture.

My only main takeaway is I wish it weren't buggy and it wouldn't randomly crash at the worst times.

A PLAGUE TALE

STORY RICH / ADVENTURE / FEMALE PROTAGONIST / ACTION / 100%

I beat a Plague Tale yesterday, and what a crazy adventure that was. A captivating and enthralling story that breaks your heart, with immersive and intense gameplay.

I rate it 8.5 rat tornadoes out of 10. 🐀🌪️

It's currently on sale for $23.00 (50% off). It's worth the price.
