-# Divinity OG Shin II & Baldurs Door III
-Divinity original sin II beat Baldurs Gate 3 for me. While BG3 has loads of more interactivity and sheer scale, DOS2 still had a more solid and satisfying level progression. 
+# Divinity Original Sin II
+
+I like CRPGs now. I have awakened.
 
-Every fight I had in DOS2 had me feeling like a genius. With BG3 the combat is more complex and I think it has good a reason to be. I found myself ignoring a lot of generally useful spell i had idioticly looked over untill the late game.
+---
+# Baldurs Gate III
 
-Please understand that BG3 *is* DnD, if you think of something you can do, the developers have thought about it, and maybe they added it in.
+I'm here because of DOS2, Picked it up expecting more turn based magic and it delivered.

 # Titanfall 2
-Good gosh titanfall 2 is good. It's the best feeling movement shooter I've ever played. This game had me beat every achievement before I even knew it. I strongly recommended it to anyone who's into Call of Duty and hasn't played it yet.
+Beat every achievemnt. Super stupid fun. I actually got into the multiplayer quite a bit and I'm not a big multiplayer guy.

 # Prey 2017
-Immersive sims are my favorite type of game hands down. Prey had me beat it 3 times in a row. 2nd favorite arkane game
+Beat it 3 times back to back. Love Arkane. Love Immersive Sims.

 # Resident Evils: 7, 8 and 4 Remake
 
-I started out with RE:Village when it when on sale on the Mac App store. My only prior experience with the franchise was the original RE:4. 
+Village was amazing. I recommend playing on hardcore. The ammo economy is probably the best i've ever seen.
 
-Village was amazing. playing on hardcore all the ammo was perfectly tight and unforgiving, giving this amazing horror expirence.
+7 was great too. They clearly upped the action on 8 which I think leaves 7 in a good position to stay relevant for a horror game. Same great ammo economy in a tighter enviroment.
 
-7 was great too. They clearly upped the action on 8 which I think leaves 7 in a good position to stay relevant for a horror game. Same great ammo economy in a tighter and less forgiving enviorment.

-4 Remake was fun. Really fun.
+4 Remake was fun. I was pleased with what they did with the classic story. a great adaption of the original

 # Dead Space 2
 
-Favorite survival horror game. Dead Space 1 has some great sequences to expierence.
+This game is dope. The graphics, the horror, keeping you reloading every free moment you get is art. I played Dead Space 1 last year and that game was amazing too.

 # Dishonored 2
 
-It's Dishonored 2, Better graphics, more mechanics, bigger more complex levels. Punch takedown. Amazing game, Arkane never misses (haven't played redfall though)
+I love Dishonored.
+
+My 4 consecutive playthroughs:
+- Corvo: low chaos
+- Emily: high chaos
+- Corvo: Non Leathal, Ghost, Flesh and Steel
+- Emily: Non Leathal
+
+---
+# Mass Effect
 
-Back to back playthroughs:
+I know this game is known for the role play and choices. But I really love the art style. Peak sci-fi
+I'd like to get the legendary collection and go through the trilogy and try the cross game progression.
 
-Corvo: low chaos
+---
+# System Shock 2
 
-Emily: high chaos
+Character creation is really cool, I had to start over because I made a bad character and the game was too hard.
 
-Corvo: Non Leathal, Ghost, Flesh and Steel
+Really exited for Nightdive's remaster of SS2. I'll definatlly give it a second run when that comes out
 
-Emily: Non Leathal
+---
+# Metro Exodus
+This game has a great pace to it. It's like reading a good book (it's based off one). The graphics are fantastic I get cold thinking about it.
 
 ---
-# Mass Effect
+# Tears of the Kingdom
+I got an OLED just for this game. This was the first game I bought on lauch day too.
 
-Great RPG
+I really liked TOTK for the first 2 weeks I played it before the burnout set in. The world is largely the same as BOTW's unfortunatly, and there were not nearly enough sky islands as I had hoped. I sought them out because it's some of the only new areas unique to BOTW.

+Great shooter. I just wish it was harder. not like more enemy health. I dont know...
+
+Amazing destruction effects. like holy crap.
+
+---

+
+People dont hate this game because the original Deus Ex is better, its because Pritchard isn't in it and no he shouldn't be behind a DLC
+
+---
+# Alan Wake's American Nightmare
+
+Basically Alan Wake DLC. Short, fun, has an arcade mode (It's really good)

+Really enganging playable TV show. Good game
+
+---
+# Quake II
+
+Nightdive's remaster on switch has keyboard and mouse support. Not kidding plug a mouse and a keyboard into your nintendo switch.
+
+---

+
+It's called mirrors edge because runners run across windows. they're on the edge. the edge of the mirror
+
+---
+# Assassin's Creed II

+
