Hey all, you know the deal...
The other thread hit over 1,000 posts and we have server issues when that shit happens so here she be, a fancy new mega thread.
Anyway, just a quick rundown.
Post anything and everything gaming in here. Console games, handheld/mobile games or PC.
Playing something you love or maybe hate? Find a hidden gem on Steam? Let us know via a review. Try to make sure you give a good rundown on it. Graphics, sound, storyline, overall gameplay and replayability. Let's keep it at a 1-10 scale.
Thanks to all that left me awesome rep comments/posts and even pm's thanking me for the many reviews I wrote.
Just an FYI, developers do read our comments in here I guess. CD Projekt Red (of Witcher 3) was one that stopped by.
Anyway, thanks all for your input and as always, no griefing. [Reply]

- Red Dead Redemption
- The Last of Us
- Skyrim
- Left 4 Dead
Any other good horror or sci-fi FPS or exploration type games I should consider?
If you wanna play a really great RPG, skip Skyrim and play the Witcher 3. Skyrim is great too but Witcher is just that much better. [Reply]

I didn't really put much time into the series until Origins came out. The ones before that I never completed. I didn't like the fighting style or the stealth. But Origins and Odyssey, man ohh man. Those 2 were incredible. Put lots of hours into those. The ship upgrading and pirating in Odyssey an absolute blast. The weapons were fun. By the end, I was a pyromaniac with flaming weapons, bows and arrows, etc.
Origins and Odyssey have gotten a lot of flack for not feeling like true Assassin's Creed games but they're among my faves of the series. I'd say Origins and AC: Brotherhood are probably the best of the lot. Bayek was a great character with incredible voice acting and it was great being able to see Ezio's journey from his teenage years until his death. [Reply]

Viking action sounds like a blast...
Black Flag was my first foray into the series and my review would sound much like this. The ship upgrading and pirating was a blast.
I loved that game so much, I instantly went back and played them all from the first one on up.
They're all a bit different but they're all great. I would give them a try if I were you. [Reply]

Thanks, I'll check out Black Flag. Didn't realize that one had ship related stuff too. [Reply]

Playstation now streaming service has lots of great horror games.
Silent Hill 2 and 3 (if you haven’t played these drop everything you’re doing and play them, especially 2, imo the greatest video game ever made)
RE7
RE4 (barely horror but ppl love his game, it’s not my fav personally)
RE Code Veronica (better than RE4 IMO)
Amnesia: Dark Descent is terrifying
Bio shock series
I’ve heard Soma is amazing, I just downloaded it, it’s in PS Now as well
Definitely play both Red Dead’s. I slightly prefer the first one but both are incredible. Horizon Zero Dawn is a great open world game. Also, RE2 remake is excellent. [Reply]
