Red Dead Redemption 2 is truly the pinnacle of storytelling; profoundly recommended from its captivating and evocative start, to the somber and emotional close that left me in tears.

A Plague Tale: Innocence emerges as a chiaroscuro masterpiece that intertwines the grotesque with the sublime. For a game filled to the brim with rats, symbols of pestilence and decay, I still can't quite believe I opted to give it a try, and actually ended up loving the playthrough. It most definitely speaks volumes of the game's exceptional ability to transmute revulsion into delight through a story that isn't just told, but felt by a visceral experience of survival, despair, and the indomitable spirit of human connection.

Ground Zeroes' standalone release is otiose; its content could have seamlessly integrated into Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Metal Gear Solid V is a captivating blend of precise stealth, compelling narratives, and expansive open-world exploration. The freedom to approach missions creatively with unpredictable variables influencing your choices makes this a highly recommended title worthy of allure!

Forza Horizon 5 dazzles with its photorealistic landscapes, exhilarating races, and extensive arsenal of vehicles complemented by an abundance of customization options. The soundtracks and radio songs vibrantly enhance the driving experience, easily cementing its status as a quintessential racing escapade.

Prey has unequivocally secured itself a spot on my all-time favorite video games list, an assertion I don't make lightly! It's the phantasmagoria you shouldn't miss!

Cyberpunk 2077 boasts the zenith of graphical fidelity achievable with current gaming hardware, rendering the sprawling, neon-soaked streets of Night City with a realism that feels almost tangible. Yet, despite the visual splendor and the vibrant pulse of its setting, the game's player-character dynamic left me profoundly disappointed. What was intended as a conduit for deeper immersion—a bridge between the user and the virtual expanse—instead widened into a chasm due to the fluctuating identity of the protagonist, which constantly oscillated between being an extension of 'me' in certain interactions and reverting to the predefined character 'V' in others, engendering a dissonance that diluted the overall experience.

In Elden Ring, an intricately designed world unfurls, purposefully deviating from strict realism to embrace a stylized and artistic dark fantasy aesthetic; it's akin to being immersed in a living, interactive painting. The combat system is truly exceptional, offering a plethora of weapons that cater to diverse styles and approaches, and the overall experience is further elevated by the stellar soundtrack, culminating in the unequivocal recommendation of Elden Ring as a masterpiece.
