I played this for around 8 hours a few years ago, but I picked it up again recently and I've been obsessed.

It's hard to capture on video how high the game's highs can be. I just beat the game on Nightmare difficulty and I feel like a wild animal. It was absolutely worth the multiple failed attempts on the way there.

I wouldn't mind one or two more kinds of enemy (there're four kinds in "regular" and "strong" varieties, plus a boss), but what's here is very solid.

Pick this up if you're looking for something to get your heartrate up.

It works pretty well!

I enjoyed TAG 1. Each level is quite long and has a *lot* of combat (giving you plenty of time to listen to the excellent music).

It's also definitely harder than the base game. I beat the DLC on Ultra-Violence, and I took a little while to get used to it.

The story was good enough, although it did feel kind of arbitrary and confusing at times.

A marvelous sequel to 2016's DOOM. The game feels a little overloaded with features at first, but they all fit together really nicely. The "combat loop" -- using all of your abilities to maintain your health, armor, and ammo whilst shooting the demons until they die -- is very tight, very fast, and very challenging.

This is a really cool game. Very strong aesthetics and music, and the gameplay is fun. It's grown a fair bit since I first picked it up five or so years ago.

Great game, whether solo or in a group. The graphics are stylish, the sound is punchy, the bugs are gnarly, and the gameplay is solid. Each biome is unique, both in style and challenge, and there's enough variety to keep you playing for a long, long time.

Also, you can also get wasted and black out in a maintenance tunnel.

ULTRAKILL is an insanely fast-paced and enjoyable shooter. It's a bit short right now -- it only includes the first act, which is around ten levels (and a five-level prelude). However, what's there is excellent. Great visuals and interesting theming.

A great game by great devs. Absolutely recommended if you enjoy problem-solving.

Automate everything!

Takes a bit to get used to the controls and the strategy (noise gets very important in the harder campaign levels!) Very enjoyable overall, with plenty to do; I've spent at least an hour just reading the lore. Would recommend.

Excellent high-speed racing with some interesting mechanics thrown in. It started out quite good in Early Access all those years ago, and has really matured since then. Music is A+.
