Star Wars Squadrons
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

The story was 'meh' at best. Game play wasn't horrible. It did remind me a lot of the old X-Wing and TIE Fighter games.

Far Cry New Dawn
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

This game has 2 issues in that it's a shorter game, and the story feels a little half-baked with kind of predictable enemies. The gameplay however does make up for some of it. They tweaked the gameplay from Far Cry 5 a bit in a way that I felt was an improvement. The world is still beautiful as well and it was interesting running into some of the characters from 5. I'd recommend it, though I'd wait for it to go on sale.

Far Cry 5
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

Some of the story seems a little on the nose today. The gameplay was fun and I enjoyed the open world.

Jedi: Survivor
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

I really enjoyed the game. The story was good as well as the gameplay. There's something intensely satisfying about taking your lightsaber to Stormtroopers.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

I enjoyed this. The gameplay reminded me some of Mario RPG and Eldenring. The story was intriguing and captivating. I probably should have played through faster without all the breaks in between.

The Last of Us, Part II
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

I liked the gameplay a little better in this game compared to the first. The story continued to be captivating as well.

Super Mario RPG
Nintendo Switch
✅ - Finished the Game

I remember playing this game as a kid. They did a fantastic job on the remake keeping all the good parts. The gameplay is fun as it was before and a different kind of Mario story.

The Last of Us
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

The story was phenomenal. Gameplay was mostly fun, but sometimes incredibly frustrating.

Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

This was my first Ratchet & Clank game and I enjoyed it. It was fast paced and enjoyable. Some of the battles felt a little repetitive but not too bad.

Mass Effect 3
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

I enjoyed the gameplay and they tied up the story pretty well. Ending was fitting, but partially disappointing at the same time. Although that could be my investment in the story and what I hoped would happen.

Mass Effect 2
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

The game grew on me. Initially I thought I liked the original better, but I think that’s changed. This game had some good fights and better character building.

Mass Effect
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

I enjoyed it. Decent story. I was a little iffy on some of the combat controls though.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

Not a super long expansion, but a good storyline and some fun battles.

Horizon Forbidden West
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

Another fantastic installment of the Horizon series. Great story and good gameplay and combat.

Horizon Zero Dawn
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

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.

Pokemon: Violet
Nintendo Switch
❌ - Did Not Finish

Just lost interest.

Jedi: Fallen Order
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

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.

Star Wars: Battlefront II
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

I still come back to this from time to time. It's a fun multiplayer game. The story was fun, but predictable.

Halo Infinite: Multiplayer
XBOX

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.

Halo Infinite
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

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
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

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
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

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
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

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
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

I spent so much time with the multiplayer, it made me forget how good the story was in finishing up the trilogy.

Halo 2
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

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
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

This game was fantastic. I enjoyed the story and the multiplayer was top-notch.

Halo Reach
XBOX
✅ - Finished the Game

The final Bungie Halo game was phenomenal. Brought back a lot of the magic of the first Halo game.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

Another good Uncharted game focused on some of the side characters from the first four games.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

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
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

Another fantastic Uncharted game. Not much else to say.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

Another fantastic Uncharted game, this one without the quick time events.

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
PlayStation
✅ - Finished the Game

I love this series. The gameplay was fun and fantastic with a great story.

Dragon Age: Origins
PC
❌ - Did Not Finish

I need to get back to this. I kept getting stuck in parts of the game and got overly frustrated by it.

Borderlands 3
XBOX
❌ - Did Not Finish

The game had some fun parts, but didn't seem to have the same magic as Borderlands 1 or 2.

Skyrim
PC
❌ - Did Not Finish

I've never gotten a chance to finish this (sooooo many side quests) despite pouring hundreds of hours into it. Love the game.

MLB 24 The Show
PlayStation
Rise of Nations
PC

This is definitely one of my absolute favorite real time strategy games. I loved the mechanics of the game and poured hours into games both against the computer and friends.

Madden 25
PlayStation

Eh, typical Madden game, but I felt like previous years were better.

NHL 24
