Bioshock 2 Minerva's Den
The one all the YouTube videos called "The best Bioshock You Never Played" etc were going on about. To me, it felt muchhh easier than Bioshock 2 (where I was constantly low on resources) but with a slightly stronger main plot.
System Shock 2
Amazing and everyone knows it's amazing so I'm not even going to get into why it's amazing and just bring up issues. The two final bosses sucked, especially the first one. The second was just too easy. The ending cinematic is lame. Essentially perfect otherwise.
Bioshock 2
Great. Story's not as good as 1 and neither is the writing, but the gameplay is strictly superior and the strong artstyle remains as striking as ever. The ending has a certain aspect that made me laugh my ass off that I won't spoil here.
Resident Evil: Dead Aim (with mouselook)
This may be the single most improved sequel of all time, given that it's literally Resident Evil 4 by any other name pretty much and Resident Evil Survivor is Resident Evil Survivor. This is going to get rereleased at some point and people will go gaga for it
Black (2006) (with mouselook)
Forgettable on normal, shines on hard. I was literally sweating from the raw tension of Mission 2 on hard. The swan song of a certain style of console shooters, I think.
Resident Evil Survivor (with mouselook)
Exactly as bad as everyone said. The antagonist's mom's weird voicemail is scarier than any of the actual enemies and the gameplay is braindead. I would have dropped this game 20 minutes in if I was playing with D-Pad.
Earth Defense Force 5
Better and more fun than 4.1. I especially like the colonists and armored aliens. A blast in multiplayer too. The ability to keep some equipment from failed missions is big, as is the fact that beating a mission on hard counts as completion for all lower difficulties.
Earth Defense Force 4.1
I fell really deep in love with this game very quickly and then fell out of love equally quickly. The 30 hours I spent with it were incredible and I'm very happy I played it, but I'm not sure I'm interested in replaying it with every class on all difficulties.
Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
My favorite game of all time is lurking somewhere under here I'm pretty sure, but it's drowned out by what seems to be a rushed release and extreme lack of polish. Hard to be scared of fishdudes with shotguns that are too dumb to shoot you while you crowbar them.
Condemned: Criminal Origins
Excellent. Incredible game. Scary as heck for an action game. The house chapter especially was A+. Highly recommend, esp. if it's on sale for less than a cup of coffee. Every character in this game is shaped like a refrigerator. Very dumb ending that I quite enjoyed too.
FEAR 2 Reborn
Alright, but it's like an hour-ish long. Also surprisingly hard to get. You can't buy it on its own or as a package with FEAR 2. It only comes in the full FEAR collection. I probably only liked this more than FEAR 2 because it has the mercy of being much shorter. Terrible final boss.
FEAR 2
Awful. Incredibly easy on Normal and filled with unfair one shot deaths on Hard. Aesthetically much more appealing than game one but gameplay-wise, this is not it. (I played chapters 1-4 on Hard and switched to Normal after a certain flamethrower battle in the city)
FEAR Perseus Mandate
People seem not to like this one. I'm surprised, frankly. I thought the combat was genuinely the best in the original "trilogy." The horror was lackluster here admittedly. The story isn't good, but I like the "this isn't your story" vibes to the whole affair.
FEAR Extraction Point
There are some horror bits in this that are genuinely excellent. This is far and away the closest the FEAR games got to being aesthetically interesting to me. All of the most boring enemies have been removed in this expansion, and better enemies have been added. Great.
FEAR
I played the first couple hours of this game like 10+ years ago and thought it was kind of mid. I think the graphical style is bluntly somewhat boring and that put me off. I came back to it finally pretty recently and the gameplay really saves it. The last hour or so is not great, however.
Game Review Thread:
I feel like this might just be idiot translation TBH. MTL still needs written text/subs to translate off of to be remotely "accurate" last I recall.

How is it? I did like an hour of it and didn't get hooked, but that was admittedly at a bit of a lull in my eroge interest.
Would you believe me if I said I've actually played this? It's not great, but I suppose that tracks given that ultimately it's not really a "designed" level so much as a replica of a pre existing structure
unfortunately in my case it seems so unlikely that even wishing feels like it's in vain (I am unmarried and single rn unfortunately so I cannot be cuckholded)
DOOM Eternal has my favorite combat in FPS games. Very fun game although the level design is not really the focus.
Plutonia is the level design king. Same dude that did a lot of Half Life 1's level design. You prob want some Doom 2 experience before playing it though.
Amnesia the Bunker is v good
Yeah it's def in my bottom 5 levels in the game I think. It just draaaaags. At this point, you don't really have that many good weapons so soldiers are hard to kill etc. Fwiw, the game gets better from where you are, although Xen is imho worse.
Giving any boy Nietzsche is a recipe for disaster
Same. I've never actually finished a Sonic game. I guess I should hop back on Generations and Adventure because I was close on those.
LOL i felt the same after JLPT N1 but I was fine. My listening is awful and I still passed with a good amount of room to spare.
The great clown Fayacaesu is in town tonight. Go and see him! That should sort you out.
