Forager is a fun little survival game that's best enjoyed in small doses. Trying to play this game like Minecraft or Terraria will most likely burn you out pretty quickly. It does have community mod support, which is nice, but the actual content of the game is fairly limited. It's fun, but a little shallow in my opinion.

Borderlands 3 is a game that I've tried several times since its release, but no matter how much of a chance I give it, I just can't enjoy this game. All of the charm, character, and polish of BL2 is thrown out the window with this game and you're simply left with a shallow looter shooter that has nothing in common with its predecessor. There are aspects of BL3 that are good and I think the endgame is particularly improved, but overall, it feels like such a step back from what made BL2 so good.

Battlefield just isn't what it used to be. This game has improved since launch, but it's disastrous beginning left a bad taste in my and many other's mouths. This game is just an amalgamation of all of the other typical live-service tropes we see nowadays (battle passes, overpriced skins, daily challenges, etc.) and I personally just don't care for any of that. This game also lacks the same tone that older BFs had. Comparing this game to BF1 or 4 is like night and day and 2042 feels so sterile in comparison.

Lightfall has been such an awful year for Destiny and as someone who's been here from the start of the franchise, it honestly hurts a bit. But in the end, I'm really not even too upset, I'm just tired. I just don't even really care enough to give a ♥♥♥♥ about this game anymore. Lightfall brought storytelling worse than vanilla D1's, an empty location that uses the "CloudArk" as a way out of creating NPCs, a raid that was beaten almost as fast as Eater of Worlds on Day One and so much other garbage. The seasons have been fine, but not enough to save this expansion from being considered the worst of all time. I don't even really want to dive into the controversies at Bungie itself, as those are a whole other can of worms.

Lightfall is easily Destiny's biggest failure and disappointment ever and I really can't recommend this expansion to anyone. I don't know what else to say that hasn't already been said. Lightfall isn't a good expansion and the fact that Bungie willingly put this out is very embarrassing.

3/10 (only points for strand and some other QoL changes)

Why on Earth is this not free? I’ve been playing Destiny since the start, so this pack doesn’t matter to me, but what about the new players? You’re going to make them spend $20 just for some exotics and Last Wish?

Stop scamming people, Bungie. Please.

Don’t get me wrong, the content offered in this update was good, but $25?! Really?! You’re essentially paying $25 for Gjallarhorn and a dungeon you’ll do maybe 5 times. I love Bungie, but this is a joke.

Shadowkeep is easily Bungie’s worst expansion. Most of the content from this DLC isn't even playable anymore since no one cares about it, the campaign sucks, the raid sucks, and there are some decent exotics, but not enough to warrant dropping $25 on this pile of dogcrap.

Bungie, just makes this free already. No one wants to buy a three year old expansion just to use Divinity.

EDIT: This is no longer the worst expansion ):

Personally, I really liked Beyond Light. Europa is a fantastic new addition to the game, Deep Stone Crypt is my all-time favorite raid, and the story was quite good. However, I can’t recommend this expansion at its current price point. The content here is not worth $30, as most of the exotics aren’t useful anymore and no one really plays any content from this expansion other than DSC. I still think this is a good expansion, so I’ll recommend it, but only on sale.

7/10

I was very disappointed by this expansion. The Witch Queen in and of itself is fine, but its post-launch seasons are some of the worst ones we’ve ever had. Risen was decent but just featured a reskin of battlegrounds, Haunted was boring, Plunder was VERY boring, and this season is okay, but really only because of the Seraph Shield mission.

If you want to play The Witch Queen, I suppose $20 ain’t bad for all of this stuff, but Bungie needs to do a better job of making their seasons feel less repetitive.

5/10

While Arkham Origins may not have the same "feel" that the other Arkham games do, it's still a very good game and is worth playing. Origins still has the best boss fights in the series and on top of that, it has a very diverse villain lineup that consists of lesser known characters. The story can be a little lacking from time to time due to this being a story that takes place during Batman's early years, but the game still holds up well regardless and it's very fun to complete.
