I love spreading managed democracy to those freedom stealing bugs and liberation taking bots
Playing with friends in a squad of four and dropping orbital lasers and 500kg bombs every couple minutes on our enemies makes for a super enjoyable game

I have a lot of fun playing this game whether its in solo or multiplayer games, every game is a cluster of chaos, from almost every nation in the world flipping communist to a reverse world war two where Germany is democratic and Britain is fascist, playing both historical and ahistorical for any nation you can think of, achieving goals such as restoring the Byzantium, the ottomans, any of the many roman empires

Great turn based combat, enjoyable story-line, unique random generated characters, mod support, and the chance to miss a 100% hit chance shot, what isn't there to love about xcom 2.

You take the role of "Commander" of the xcom resistance, continuing the fight against the Elders from the first game, and you send out soldiers to die against these aliens, meanwhile you are running low on supplies, your infirmary is filled with wounded soldiers, and a regular advent soldier gets a crit that takes down your Captain ranked soldier from across the map.

All memes aside, this game has been really enjoyable espiecially running ironmade mode with my friends as the characters in game and trying not to get them killed is good fun and I highly recommend picking this game up if you like strategy and turn based combat

I love horror games, but this one happens to take the cake. It gives YOU, the player, full control of what choices you make in the game, if you want to walk inside the building and start screaming obscenities you can, if you want to stand in the doorway ready to dip out you can, if you open the van to the dark terrifying looking farmhouse with an attic you can close the truck up and nope out of there. That is what makes this game so good. Full control over how much fear you put into yourself, but if you wanna get paid you better actually get in there and try and communicate with the ghost on the spirit box by yourself in a dark room.

Overall I really enjoy this game, and even with my love of horror, I still have to muster up the courage to walk into the basement and use the spirit box, Even with every item available to me, the room smudged, crucifixes around, a clear path to the nearest closet, and a friend watching the activity meter, I still struggle to remain calm. I have only been murdered once and that was enough for me to say nope, screw that and I pretty much always stand somewhere safe for me.

I am really excited for the future of this game, more items such as Night vision goggles and three more maps (Mansion, Prison and Apartment Complex) being worked on it looks like it will be surviving for a while. I wish the dev could hire more people and get these updates faster, but that's up to them

If you were a fan of the HarvestMoon Series you'll like this game, if you have no clue what HarvestMoon was, you'll still probably like this game. Stardew Valley has been my favorite farming game that I have ever played, topping Farming Simulator and Minecraft. It has RPG, Dungeon Crawl, on top of the farming, spend years planting seasonal crops, building coops and barns for animals, mining, foraging, setlling down and starting a family, and to top it all off up to 4 person co-op, I have enjoyed many a good laugh playing this game with friends and i will continue to do so for years to come.

UPDATE: This game still gets much love from the developer and has recived numerous updates, including some massive post end-game ones that extended the gameplay even on farms of ten years of age.

I really enjoy playing bug simulator 2011, and the skyrim minigame that came with it is pretty good too.

Raft is a great game, that is even more fun when you're starving with friends. We made a massive joke about being shark-bait, and it was a lot of fun

The Devs are a relatively small team and as such the updates aren't as often as i would like, but they are always working on improving and adding more to the game

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ON SPECIAL!!!

Terraria gets a lot of hate for being a "minecraft rip off" but once you play it you realise they have their similarities, but Minecraft is sand box whereas Terraria has an end goal. You can play as much as you want infinite replayability, although the end goal doesnt change.

It also has mod support, which with mods such as calamity, makes the game last even longer. Achievements in the game are fun to grind. As someone who has 87/88 I know. Aside from the angler quests which get boring and repetitive, espiecially when you have to get to 200 quests completed.

This game is worth the full price it makes you pay. I picked it up on special and regretted it so much i payed full price for a four pack and shared with friends.

Grand Theft Auto V, another of the big rockstar titles. Excellent campaign which has replayability. Online mode is a bit boring though. You want to buy anything in the game. Grind for hours and hours. You don't want to do that? Buy shark cards. Or if you aren't concerned on getting your account banned go for the mod menus.

Just don't be the d**k that gets a mod menu to just kill everyone.

Heists take too long in online and don't pay out enough. Jobs pay next to nothing. Missions aren't worth it. Races and other adversary modes are fun to play, but again you don't get much out of it. Being able to pay for anything in this game just takes forever.

Arma 3 is very realistic military simulator. It has a very interesting campaign, and the multiplayer is fun. It has mod support, and it is overall a really great game.

But be warned...

If you choose to play this game, you WILL be put through some difficult times. It is extremely difficult, and the AI will punish EVERY mistake you make.

My advice. Get a small group even, just 4 of you. Squad up. Work together. And maybe, just maybe you will have an easier time.

Don't jump into the campaign and set it to the hardest possible difficulty you can in an attempt to go "oh it's just another fps" because this game isn't like any fps game you have played before.

Sometimes even I consider uninstalling...
