    Xiii shooter (original on PS2, not the remake)

    Metal Gear Solid 1, 3, and 4. 2 is okay but it’s the black sheep. 5 is a good game but doesn’t fit the series great imo. We don’t talk about Survive. Revengence is okay.

    Maneater. Basically a remake of the old Jaws game from PS2 era gameplay-wise

    FF7 original. If you’re bored with it, try the New Threat mod by SegaChief. Absolutely worth a look.

    If you’re into pokemon rom hacks, Emerald SeaGlass and Crystal Legacy.

    Crash Bandicoot 1-4. Ignore any titles from PS2 era.

    Spyro 1-3. Also ignore any PS2 era titles.

    Castle Crashers

    If you have a non-gamer around that does like movies, give Beyond: 2 Souls and Until Dawn a look.

    Spec Ops: The Line

    Doki Doki Literature Club

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 1 + 2

    I’m sure I’ll add more.

      I don’t feel Spec Ops: The Line aged well at all. I had it on my to-play list for years and finally got around to playing it. I was rather disappointed in what I experienced. The gunplay and cover system is middling at best, and the story wasn’t anything like the hype led me to believe. Graphics are also way behind its contemporaries. It may have been groundbreaking when it came out in a very pro-war, pro-military time, but it wasn’t anything special by the time I played it 2023. I finished the game wondering what people felt was so special about it. The lack of decision making removed impact from what my character was doing, namely the infamous white phosphorus part. You can’t advance the game without performing the worst possible action, which is the only thing to do at that point in the level. Lame.

      Music was good but overall I felt it was a 6/10 game. I think watching YouTube commentaries on the game is much more enjoyable than actually playing it.
