Metroid Dread is a masterpiece. As a longtime fan of the metroidvania genre, this game was a wonderful time. Samus controls better than she ever has in any other game in the series, the environments are beautifully crafted, the level design is top-notch, and the bosses are incredibly well thought out. This game does not hold your hand. I've never gotten this many game overs in a Metroid game before, but it was never frustrating. The game rewards skillful players for learning the mechanics well and is very fair in its difficulty. The game is also pure eye candy, offering flashy animations and intricate backgrounds. If you love Metroid or appreciate quality video games, do yourself a favor and buy this game!

I can't believe I waited this long to play the Half-Life series. HL2 is one of the best games I've ever played, and you can see its influences in games across the entire industry. The combat is frantic and exciting, the world is fleshed out with interesting characters and set pieces, and it leaves you hungry for more as soon as the credits roll.

This is the VR game I spend the most time in. There's tons of room for improvement, but this is one of my favorite VR shooters. I just keep coming back to it. It's sort of like CSGO with tanks, and I love it.

As a fan of Igarashi's Castlevania games, I feel right at home playing this. It's fairly short and not too challenging, but I really had a good time with it. Its incredible music, very lovely pixel art, and interesting time stopping mechanic make it stand out from similar indie projects. If you like metroidvania games (especially on the vania side of things), I'm confident you'll enjoy this one too.
