Starship Troopers: The Video Game. But not the official one. The better one.
Incredible game with very satisfying bug-stomping and bot-blasting. Feels so good to call down democracy and liberty from orbit. Great balance of mission-based gameplay, unlocks, fair never-expiring battle pass and store, and longer-term galactic campaign. And a blast to play with friends.
I'm doing my part!

P.S.: launch time server issues are resolved and everything works as expected

Good game, enjoyed puzzling out how to progress. Excellent atmosphere; keeping an eye on generator fuel as a limited resource is a great source of tension when the monster doesn't like light. Normal difficulty felt both too easy (way more resources than I needed when playing carefully and exploring thoroughly) and too tedious (spending minutes at a time not playing the game, hiding in a closet until the monster leaves). Mixed feelings on the monster - often it felt like it was getting in the way of me playing and enjoying the game, but there wouldn't have been any fear or tension without it.
Overall good and worth playing, but not quite enough of an evolution on the original Amnesia for me to bother with new game plus or higher difficulties.

Feels like it's missing something. Time powers and manipulation are surprisingly uninspired. Live action parts feel like good amateur work, not professional production. Sci fi story is neat and interesting, with all the loops and surprises. Overall, the game is fine, not great. Weakest Remedy game, but not a bad one.

Improves on everything from the first game. Tight, fun action and gunplay, great bosses, interesting loot and character build options, very cool procedural generation for maps and quests. Designed to be highly replayable. Everything is great.
A few minor issues at launch but devs are aware, communicating, and working on it.

Enjoyable, good-looking game. Never played the original so not sure how it compares. A few minor annoyances, and short, make not as good value as RE2 remake, so recommend buying on sale.

Portal is an excellent game. RTX doesn't change the game, isn't a huge revolution. Materials and reflections look nicer even if this isn't the kind of game that benefits a ton from RTX due to everything being static and almost no movable/dynamic light sources.
But when you take an excellent game and change nothing except make it look nicer, there's really nothing to complain about!
Did crash several times on Alt+Tab but never during gameplay.

Early Access Review
A solid classic game where the digital version is probably even better than the physical board game due to all the streamlining and automation of kingdom selection and bookkeeping stuff. Multiplayer works very well, and I'm impressed with the option to make the rules more or less strict.
Very reasonable to offer the base game for free and one free expansion on rotation during beta, but as a player who owns every physical expansion, I'm not impressed with the high price of expansions here.

Pulls off creepy horror tone shockingly well for a card game. Story mode kept me guessing and had lots of fun unlocks and stuff to do. Haven't decided whether and how much I want to play Kaycee's Mod no-story post-game "just the card game" mode.

Neat little horror-ish game with a strong story and intriguing storytelling method. Some puzzles are way too obtuse and you'll probably need a guide. Great short experience, about 2 hours.

Good game, too long.
Enjoyed the open world, parkour, and crafting for the first 10 or 20 hours, but found the open world quests and collectibles were mostly uninteresting filler. REALLY enjoyed how scary night is - usually when a game tells you that night is dangerous, it's kind of not. But here, it's super dark and full of powerful hunting monsters.
The Following is a strong expansion/epilogue again dragged down by too much open world padding. The other expansions are skippable, more like challenge modes that don't add to the story.
