The Roottrees Are Dead
A perfect puzzle experience for me. Part 1 is pristinely balanced from start to finish. The flow of information and clues is weighted to keep you moving forward in the investigation. There probably won't be a better gaming feeling this year then when you lock in correct characters in the

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
An exemplary and action packed adventure that is more than worthy of its title character's legend. The music, audio design, and voicework is incredible. I really think the entire Vatican sequence stands out as one of the best levels in gaming, My only critique would be the gameplay systems don't build

The Rise of the Golden Idol
Fun, inventive, and mind twisting in all the right ways. Great mystery and world building, very excited for future DLCs.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector
Still love this game and format, although a little less this time around. Moving from station to station was fun although a lot of them are pretty shallow. The contracts are stressful and punishing if you make mistakes or roll bad. The writing is still all time engaging and the character

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Credit to Nintendo for the unique design of the mechanics wrapped in a typically straightforward and bland overhead Zelda game. It does genuinely feel like there are dozens of ways to solve the puzzles here. The presentation, soundtrack, and design all have the top line Nintendo polish. I am still excited

Minishoot' Adventures
A fun streamlined, Zelda, metroidvania, and bullet shell filled adventure. None of the genres are pushed to the limit but they compliment each other well in a fulfilling and fleshed out experience. Played on Steam Deck

Alan Wake 2: The Lake House
Alan Wake II is one of my favorite games of all time. And this side adventure is solid crack at a small story with the Remedy polish. The setting and presentation is still elite and the writing is a little below my standard for them but well worth the short

Silent Hill 2
Undoubtedly a true success and a scary and faithful adaptation. I would probably say it is the scariest game i have ever played, the prison alone alone is a genre defining sequence in survival horror setting and ambience. This is definitely not breaking any new grounds in any of its gameplay

Neva
A simple game with some gorgeous designs and visuals, I needed a little bit more from the action and platforming to fully love it but it was well crafted and effective.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Multiplayer only: The multiplayer is a big step up from the previous titles. Its not fun on Xbox to go against 90% PC players, especially with the cracked movement update in this one. The gunplay is tight, the maps are kind of cramped and scattered as usual, wish there was more

The Jackbox Survey Scramble
A fun party pack, some of the games are definitely throwaways. My playgroup mostly stuck to the Hi-Lo and the Squares game modes. Its fun and silly and a good party game to kill some time and have fun with friends.

Marvel Rivals
An acceptable Hero shooter, it doesn't come anywhere near the highs of OG Overwatch for me in terms of design or gameplay. But a welcome easy shooter you can ease in and out of in your spare time.

Mouthwashing
Loved the setting and narrative, could of definitely used more sequences with the crew compared to the trippy stuff. Played on Steam Deck.

Metaphor: ReFantazio
I am certainly not an Atlus enjoyer so take my review with a grain of salt. I did enjoy this game immensely more than the multiple times I tried to engage with Persona games. I thought the world and overall art direction were excellent. The combat is ok turn-based combat

Follow the Meaning
A perfectly acceptable point and click adventure with a very small and simple scope/gameplay. Some of the puzzles are interesting but none push you really. Played on Steam Deck

World of Warcraft: The War Within
Wow continues to build on the good progress they made with Dragonflight. TWW is basically a carbon copy of DF with a couple slight tweaks. Delves are a good solo option but lost their intrigue and replayability in only a couple weeks. M+ (never my favorite part of the game)

Things Too Ugly
A short, ok, and simple puzzle game. 90% of the solutions are completely straightforward and easy and a couple require some deeper thinking.

Blade Chimera
I think this is just an average metroidvania. The turning is clunky and the movement is very baseline and standard. There are not nearly enough weapons to choose from. The animation is solid enough, as is the story, but I was overall disappointed in this.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Was powering through and enjoying this and really wanted to enjoy it but it just beats you down. The reward for all the combat, quests, walking, and hard work is just not good enough. The game is in desperate need of a skill tree or build path you can take
