Morrowind was surprisingly good. It's old and bare-bones at times, but it's really fun. I played it for the first time in 2022 and my only regret was not playing it sooner. In saying that, it's very challenging for newbies. Like, wow. But really worth it to get into. The writing has so much personality, the gameplay is well designed (mostly...okay, it's a mixed-bag of pros and cons) and the environments/character designs are so well done. Too many times have I thought "Why didn't they do stuff like this in Skyrim?". A basic description of Morrowind would be: think of the easiness of Skyrim and the brutality of Dark Souls - Morrowind is somewhere between the two and a really fun experience. It may be old, but it's a gem.

I've played 4 Saints Row games and Saints Row 2 is still my favourite. A great continuation of the first game and definitely the series' peak (before the franchise fell off a cliff with the sequels that followed). Action, comedy, customization, fun, the works. It might be a GTA clone but even this game does things GTA doesn't which makes it stand out in a positive way. Even when I replayed it a lot in 2021, still a great game. Don't play the embarrassing reboot, play this classic instead.

Overal, feels like a clunky version of the first one. But they did add a bunch of new features that were cool.

The plot of Hitman 2 is pretty solid and I really enjoyed it but the gameplay is absolutely awful. For an expert assassin, 47 is slow and cross-eyed. I have to assume the Developers just didn't know what they were doing this early into the series because it feels awful playing this title. If nothing else, it gets better with practice. And the locations/soundtrack was pretty good. So it's not all bad (just mostly).

I find myself coming back to the Sims 4 after each uninstall because it's really addictive. I've put an absurd amount of hours into it because it's just so darn fun. But it's also extremely buggy. To the point of glitches that have existed for years were still there. Even new updates that add new features seem to often add more bugs that don't get patched. Overall, a great game that you can kill many hours in (when you get your sea-legs because it can be quite difficult at first) but be prepared for a glitch-fest because these Developers hate bug-fixing and love adding DLCs. It's fairly worth it, though.

This game was a huge disappointment for many reasons, after coming from Far Cry 2 and 3. Basically, this game was clunky, buggy and the story-line felt so empty. It was like playing Dark Souls but more mind-numbing than infuriating. Anyone wanting to play this should stick to Far Cry 3, instead. How do people like this train-wreck of a game, so much?
