Video Games
I've certainly played more than this, but I figured I'd update this list with some of my thoughts for the video games I've played and am currently playing.

✅ - indicates that I finished the game
❌ - indicates that I did not finish the game
Horizon Zero Dawn ✅
I really enjoyed this game. I thought the combat mechanics were a lot of fun, the story drew me in, and the soundtrack was phenomenal. I’m considering going back in and trying to complete more of the side quests and other parts I might have missed.
Halo Infinite: Multiplayer
It’s unfair to compare it to Halo 3 since that felt like the gold standard to me, but Infinite multiplayers is definitely a lot of fun.
Pokemon: Violet ❌
Just lost interest.
Jedi: Fallen Order ✅
I had given up on this a while back, but I came back and am glad I did. The game was fun and had a good story. I wish it was more Jedi Knight than Dark Souls, but alas I guess those days are past.
WoW: Classic
I spent so much time on this in my mid 20s, and now in my late 30s, I'm definitely enjoying it again
Star Wars: Battlefront II
I still come back to this from time to time. It's a fun multiplayer game.
Elden Ring ❌
I'm not sure I was the targeted audience for this game. I didn't enjoy this game at all.
Halo Infinite ✅
This game had a lot of promise. I enjoyed it, but the story seemed a little convoluted and while fun, the battles got a little repetetive. The lack of local co-op sucks.
Halo 5 ✅
The story for this one was a little confusing and overly-complicated. The battles were definitely Halo though. The lack of local co-op sucks.
Halo 4 ✅
This was definitely the best 343 Halo game. The story was well done and was a good sequel to the Bungie trilogy.
Halo 3: ODST ✅
I never finished this game when it came out. I entded up finally beating it for my pre-Infinite playthrough and definitely enjoyed it. The move away from Master Chief was an alternate view.
Halo 3 ✅
I spent so much time with the multiplayer, it made me forget how good the story was in finishing up the trilogy.
Halo 2 ✅
I may or may not have stayed up for the midnight launch of this...A great follow-up to the original Halo and my first Xbox Live experience with a fantastic multiplayer.
Halo CE ✅
This game was fantastic. I enjoyed the story and the multiplayer was top-notch.
Halo Reach ✅
The final Bungie Halo game was phenomenal. Brought back a lot of the magic of the first Halo game.
The Last of Us ❌
I just couldn't get into this. Might try again later, but who knows.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy ✅
Another good Uncharted game focused on some of the side characters from the first four games.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End ✅
A good end to the series and story. Only negative was that the story seemed to be a little drawn out.
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception ✅
Another fantastic Uncharted game. Not much else to say.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves ✅
Another fantastic Uncharted game, this one without the quick time events.
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune ✅
I love this series. The gameplay was fun and fantastic with a great story.
Dragon Age: Origins ❌
I need to get back to this. I kept getting stuck in parts of the game and got overly frustrated by it.
Borderlands 3 ❌
The game had some fun parts, but didn't seem to have the same magic as Borderlands 1 or 2.
Skyrim ❌
I've never gotten a chance to finish this (sooooo many side quests) despite pouring hundreds of hours into it. Love the game.
