Well that surely lasts for a week or more :D

Those types of games are not for everybody really. 😅 I'm glad that you've somewhat enjoyed it.

I got the edition of the original Xbox One that came with Assassins Creed Unity and Black Flag, I'd have to say Unity is one of them. I had a friend hyping the game up but I also constantly saw people complaining about it so I thought it would be bad but the only bugs I encountered were hilarious, and the co-op sections were super fun.

One of the reason why I've not jumped on it on release. I honestly took a big break for Assassin's Creed since the release of AC3. My PC wasn't able to handle Black Flag and others back then and later when my PC was a lot more improved, I've never considered getting to play it. Once I did, I can say it's probably one of my top 5 AC games.

As far as games that actually aren't buggy, rather I just thought I wouldn't like it, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is #1. It reminded me of Binding of Isaac which I wasn't a fan of, but playing it, the game was super fun and controlled a lot better than Binding of Isaac imo.I really only bought the game originally because a friend told me you ripped up tax papers.

Oh I have this game in my library. Thanks for confirming it's actually a nicer game than it looks.

Get it here you can find it for as low as £3.32. Totally worth it!

I've never picked it up because I didn't watch South Park. I found it rather hilarious and I think I would laugh a lot on it, but it's not a priority for me to play it. If ever I get the chance, thanks for letting me know about them.

Witcher. Hear me out.

I read everybody's messages no matter if the game is or not super popular. We are all able to have our own opionions and likings. Not everybody is going to like Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Witcher, Red Dead Redemption or GTA.

I don't' like fantasy. I don't like magic, and dragons and spells and demons and all that stuff. In fact, I think it's lame (no judgement) Same with vampires, ghosts, etc. All kinds of fantasy stuff I have no interest in. As well as superheroes. All of them.
Avengers etc, no fucking interest whatsoever. I having trouble "believing" in this kind of thing, so I generally don't enjoy it. But yeah, well I was wrong about Witcher wasn't I. Didn't change my mind on other games or open anything new though :(

I think I understand why, but do share why don't you do? Is it because they are gifted with magical or supernatural powers that kills the struggles they have to endure?

Something strange happened. I thought at first it's an issue, but it's just a duplicated one.

I normally don't play platformers anymore, but I'm playing something similar, a 2.5D Platformer, called Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. I can see you have it in your library. I won it here, and I wanted to play the prequel. This one is particularly more difficult as the previous one. It can get really frustrating. There's some things I wish it had from the previous one, but overall, it's not a bad game.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams - Rise of the Owlverlord looks to be similar, but obviously with more spin and the art direction is different. Is the standalone one, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams?

Never heard of this game. At first, from the first video, I thought it was an imitation of Sea of Thieves, but after that I saw what it was about. It's strange because nobody actually promoted or spoke about the game. I'm pretty sure it gets fun destroying stuff and interacting with objects.

It did get to be appreciate by so many people, it's on the top there for a reason. 🙂

Hmm probably The Evil Within series for me. I kinda avoided them because I kept hearing how it was just an uninspired clunky resident evil clone and stuff like that. I saw a bit of gameplay footage , wasn't that impressed either. But during a sale , for some reason I bought it and finally gave it a shot. A oh boy I was so glad I did. Now I absolutely adore this game and even played it multiple times. Bought the sequel as well and had a really good time with it too. Now this series is probably among my favourite action horror games , right next to Dead Space 2 and Resident Evil 4. And this might be a controversial statement , but while I really enjoyed Resident Evil 2 and 3 remake as well , I think I enjoyed Evil Within series more than that.

Although not a fan of horror that much. I don't like feeling tense for my life, I did enjoy Dead Space 1&2 very much. I learned to overcome my fears and feel like a total badass. I've never played Resident Evil or Evil Within, although I will some day even if I'm somewhat uncomfortable of the game. The only RE game I've played was RE 5 and that was with my wife. 😅

Castlevania Lords of Shadow. I kept reading mixed reviews on this one. And lots of people were calling it a bad Castlevania game and calling it a poor God of War clone. Wasn't really looking forward to playing this one. But me being a fan of action - adventure games in general , I decided to buy it one day. And surprise surprise I had a blast with it. Now this is one of my favourite action adventure games. It had everything for me platforming , diverse and interesting puzzles , a really fun combat system , really good environment variety and enemy variety. Story was good till the end and music was top tier too. And Sir Patrick Stewart himself does a lot of narration and plays a key character in the game. Overall it ended up being a 9/10 game for me.

That is a game I am personally intrigued as I normally don't play metroidvenian games, this was different, due to having action-adventure elements.

Thank you for reminding me of this game. I almost forgot I wanted to play it! 🙂

MORDHAU is similar, if you had enough of Chivalry and want some more similar gameplay.

I guess you don't hate them all after all. You've just been too critical on them. A game is just a game in the end. Some games are really good if they keep a realistic feel to it, but each game has it's limits.

That's the effect of any soul-like game. You learn to love the challenge. I've played very few soul-like games with a lot more easier outcome. I've played a bit of Elden Ring. I wanted to finish another game franchise. I was also waiting for Widescreen update. If that ever comes. 😥
