Thank you for adding chapters it makes everything so much easier, you earned my like.
Always
@@gameranxTVthe sea of thieves chapter is off though, since it’s almost first halfway in it the game kicks in 😅 but chapters always makes it better 👏🏻
@@gameranxTV it really is helpful and IMO makes a big difference, thanks again
@@gameranxTVf you aren’t the narrator I don’t watch the video. I’m glad you got a video on hogwarts legacy. You are the channel to me
Edit: falcon is the only narrator I’ll watch on this channel
@@davidhowell1415 why jake is also awesome
Control made the feelings I had as a kid playing video games come back. The story, the art/graphics, and the gameplay. It truly is a masterpiece
I can relate to this.
The pacing of progression felt so good and natural.
The Ashtray Maze😍
hate me all you want but I poured hours into the old ps2 harry potter games so I was stoked that a new single player hogwarts experience was coming out and it's been exceeding my expectations in every way It's a feeling of getting lost in the world that isn't matched by any other game
Control was one of the best experiences I had playing games in the last few years. When replaying it I noticed some problems (the biggest being that the combat system is not robust enough) that I hope will be ironed out in the sequel. Can't wait!
I never could beat that game.
Control is one of my absolute faves! I also love Quantum Break from Remedy and ofc Alan Wake
👍🏼
OMG. I'm looking forward to Control. I absolutely loved Quantum Break on Xbox and don't even get me started on Alan Wake. Also a huge Max Payne fan.
@@DirkMeister Control is overhyped, it’s good but very different from quantum break, which was more enjoyable for me then control.
Quantum Break is so underrated!
@Dirk Diggler I only played a bit past the prolog of Quantum Break because it felt so clunky (I'm on Series X). Is the gameplay worth it or is the story the main selling point of the game? Because I'm not really into stories, I prefer good gameplay over everything
One often forgotten addition would be: ‘Prey’. Such an underrated gem if you ask me.
Edit: I see that it was released in may 2017. So over 5 years :)
its ok, they also included nier automata which was also from 2017, but i cant the deny how great of a game prey is
Prey was such an underrated gem thanks to the very weird controversy back then, glad that more and more people come to love it
I really wish I liked it. Had all the right ideas for a spiritual successor to stuff like the original System Shock games, but it wound up just feeling tedious to me.
yup, prey was good .. i think im giving it a replay soon, only played it on xbox one before because i didnt have a pc back then
Arkane is one of a kind. Sad they make multiplayer games now :(
Control really is something of its own
Something bad
Seriously I hope a sequel or something similar comes, even a Alan wake.
@@AD3SPG a sequel has already been confirmed
The only game out of more than 100 AAA and AA games I own I perfected on Steam
I own hundreds of games and only care to fully complete a few of them. This is one of the few I’ve 100%. It’s incredible in story, mechanics, and the mf song portion - we all know which one I’m talking about - is SO insanely good. I almost feel like it’s worth replaying just to do that again.
I didn't even know about Control until it came on to ps+ and damn , I'm super happy I got to play it. It's one of the craziest , amazing and just pure fun to play games I've played. The Ashtray maze is Epic , the whole game was amazing and the dlcs were great.
Check out Alan Wake for more Remedy goodness
Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne were both definitely AAA with huge hype at launch
They are older than five years though right? Bloodborne definitely is, cant remember when dark souls III came out
@miksux yeah I think it was like 2015 or 2016
BB 2015 and DS3 2016, both older than 5 years...
Des DS1 and DS2 are the ones I would consider double a
Control is my favorite game of the last 5 years. The creativity of that game completely stole my imagination and heart. I love that game so much. Ash Tray Maze is still one of the best set pieces ever. I also like the fact the Hideo Kojima did a guest appearance in the game if you do the sensory deprivation chamber easter egg.
Play any other Remedy game, they're all exactly the same. Control has 1 enemy type you fight over and over, it was a pure slog to get through.
@@jasongrundy1717 uhh lol no 😂
@Felix Challis uhh lol yes 🤣
@@jasongrundy1717 Love when people say there's 1 enemy type. I instantly know you didn't play it.
Or when people say the story doesn't make sense, I know they didn't read any of the memos you collect.
@@jasongrundy1717 soo u didn't get through at all cuz there's literally way more than 1 enemy type
As always, great content brother.
Control blew me away the first time I played it. Remedy really knocked one out the park with Control. The story, the lore and their attention to detail. From the recordings/ videos you discover through exploration, to the documents you find and all the way to finding out how it’s actually in another games universe. It is definitely UNIQUE.
and let's not talk about how it connects to another great game from Remedy 😉. Hopefully the sequel will have a direct link between both
I almost put it down in the first couple hours, because it was making me think The Division: SCP Edition, and I hate The Division with a passion. Actually, I did put it down for a few weeks before deciding to give it one more shot before uninstalling it.
Boy, am I glad I stuck it out long enough for it to lose most of its similarities to The Division. One of my favorite games of the last decade.
Love Control's story - but the fighting system is kind of boring to me.
That merltroidvania design i fucking love it
As a PC gamer, It Takes Two was a totally random AAA game that ended up being one of my favorites of that year
It Takes Two is an AA game.
For sure, Control and Deathloop are my top two games of the past five years. Control was a piece of amazing interactive art, in my view. And Deathloop was the first game in a long time that felt like a video game instead of a super-serious reality simulator like a lot of games are nowadays.
👌👍🏼
You should play Arkane's Prey (maybe you already have).
@@daycampgames I have! I enjoy it, but it didn’t suck me in the same way Deathloop did and games from my childhood did. Couldn’t tell you why, it just didn’t capture my attention the way my favorite games do.
Control is the last masterpiece that videogame industry delivers tu us. Big expectations about Control 2 and Alan Wake 2.
@@sekoncen9559 Right on. I totally get that.
'Bizarre and inspired" is a perfect way of describing Control. I played that game and was blown away by it, but slooooooooooowly. Just a really cool and uncomfortable energy around it. I think Forspoken may've taken some inspiration from it.
Ehm... No... Not even close man.
Not on the narrative,world building or gameplay wise.
The only thing Forspoken take from Control is that they have both a female protagonish and nothing else.
@@RomnysGonzalez Forspoken is terrible, but it definitely took inspiration from Control. The whole vibe of the gameplay feels like it was ripped
@@RomnysGonzalez Two female protagonists with supernatural abilities. Both games frequently take you in and out of different dimensions as well. And specifically, I think the shield thing Frey does, when she charges it, is similar to Jesse's. That's just my opinion though.
Every Remedy game is exactly the same.
And Forespoken fell flat on its face
Great list overall - I also find it amusing that Falcon says both "eyeterating" and "iterative". Never heard it said the first way before...
Monster Hunter world was a crazy leap forward for the franchise, I loved the old games back to Unite but after playing World it's genuinely difficult to go back. The series went from feeling very stuck in the past (in a kind of fun nostalgic comfy way) to ahead of other AAA devs in almost every way. Many have tried to clone MH, but no one has achieved the feel that Capcom created.
Brilliantly put.
Nier automata and deathloop are two of my favourite games alongside the dishonored series and the Wolfenstein series
This was a GREAT list idea. I'm glad to see Control getting some well deserved recognition.
lol what, the game is trash
I started Control a few days ago and I'm ADDICTED to it. It's so good and the combat is just absolutely a blast.
I really need to give Control another try, I really wanted to like it. Hopefully it was just the headspace I was in at the time or I needed to scratch a different itch, but it just wasn't doing it for me. I found it pretty monotonous. Absolutely love the idea of exploring a high-rise in that way and the aesthetic.
i thought it was pretty meh too. not every gaming experience is every players cup of tea
I too found it lack luster. It was hard to make sense of the story and weapon variety got old pretty quick. There is one mission in a maze which was beyond amazing but apart from that I didn't find it that special.
Jesse’s voice acting and writing for her internal dialogue are also pretty bad. Trying too hard to make every single thing she says/thinks sound meaningful, like she’s really concentrating, which is completely unnatural. Terrible.
So I restarted it from the beginning, and this time around I’m completely hooked. It’s really good. Not great, but good. Basically I was kinda playing it wrong, and was also too distracted at the time to dig into the story through item descriptions, which I normally really enjoy. Or to play around with mods, which are essential.
I’m also really enjoying the Twin Peaks and X-Files influence, and even Ghostbusters!
It feels like it should still reward players more for exploration, there’s a lot of unfulfilled potential. The puzzles are fun too, but feel a little half-baked. But now it’s got me hoping they’ll take it further with more games. And I need to play Max Payne!
It's not often I give up on a game, I usually finish the basic story at least. But not Control, couldn't be arsed.
Everything about Control, from the story to the gameplay mechanics, the atmosphere and shared universe with the rest of Remedy's games, is absolutely incredible. I love it so much that I've now played it on the PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5 and PC.
Wow. Really stoked (and a bit surprised) to see all the love for Control in the comments! I knew people liked it, just wouldn't have expected it to be the main standout from this list... although it absolutely deserves it.
Definitely one of the best new IP's of this millennium. I can only imagine how much bigger and better the next one will probably be since the first was a success.
I just picked up Deathloop on PC and finished it not long ago, and it was a pleasant surprise too. I wish it had leaned into the time shenanigans a bit harder, but it still felt like a pretty fresh and novel experience.
Great list. Just recently finished Doom Eternal and now on to God of War for PC. Up next Control which I got on Epic Games Store for free ages ago and Deathloop which I bought recently on sale. To be honest I have such a huge backlog of games that I haven't even touched yet, but thanks to this video and so many others you have done, I now at least have an idea where to start. You guys are abosolutely amazing. Thanks so much for all of your hard work and awesome videos. Can't thank you enough. Happy Gaming everyone. :)
Thanks for watching
I'd pay a fortune to play Control for the first time again. Enjoy and read as much as you can find!
Definitely take your time with control, the map layout can be difficult to memorize the first few times you play but there are cleverly hidden secret areas which can give you powers but not all need to be accessed during a story mission(you eventually get all abilities just by 100% the game but you can find some good stuff earlier if you’re willing to explore a bit.
@@Barrythebarnabas Thanks. Good to know. I love advice.
Funny how I have played and am playing the same exact games you are rn
control and FF7R are legitimately the two *coolest* gaming experiences i've ever had, and i will hype those games to anyone who will listen (and even some who won't, tbh)
👍🏼
Nier Automata is my favorite game of all time. I wish I could erase my memory just so I could play it again.
Ive heard only good reviews about Control before, but now after seeing it in this ranking I'm 100% certain that I wanna play it ❤ Thank you Gameranx!
Control is incredible. I bought it Sunday night jumped on for a few minute to try it out before going to bed. Next thing i know, it's 2am and im texting my boss pretending to be sick :D
I always said that kojima is the ultimate indie developer. He makes niche boutique games and cares very little about trends. He just happen to spend a hundred million dollars while doing them 🤷♂️
Yes it is niche but based on team size, money spent and marketing push it cannot be indie.
I think hes a genius game designer. the problem is; he thinks himself as a genius writer, and thats drags down everything he does
5 years ago feels like 2014, but it's actually 2018
Deathloop was so unexpectedly good. Definitely a must play if you haven't.
Definitely an homage to _The Prisoner_ (1960s British sci-fi series) what with the island setting and the 1960s modernist styles/decor/OST.
I absolutely LPOVED the Hybrid style of Final Fantasy VII Remake Falcon, it was SO GOOD, can't wait for Rebirth :)
👌👍🏼
haven’t beaten it yet, on the last fight against the big dude after you get sucked into the tornado but it’s ass on hard because the whole, doing over the entire thing again doesn’t sit right with me so i benched it for now
playing the new game + with all the ablitys and counter stance feels like devil may cry sometimes
Nope.
Deathloop is criminally under rated! Truly hope a sequel gets made.
As a veteran from Unite im very satisfied with the direction Monster Hunter World took, hopefully the next entry in the franchise after Rise will also have the same quality.
Control is a fantastic piece of art and action. David Lynch meets Uncharted. I was encouraged to see it in the top 5.
Returnal needs an extra special mention on this list
It's just another roguelike.
Whats unique about it?
Loved control, eagerly waiting for the sequel.
👆🏻 same here
Something almost anything but a mobile game 😆
@Alfred Dominguez they actually have hiring up on there website for the 2nd game
I had someone describe Doom: Eternal as a rhythm shooter, and I thought they were absolutely stupid.
Then the next time I sat down to play it, I realized they were actually right. The flow state you get into honestly does feel like you're keeping a rhythm.
Awesome list Falcon! Recently played Control and has quickly become one of my favourite games. The tone and atmosphere are unique in my opinion.
Control and Nier Automota are by far Masterpieces
I think people will look back at Control even a decade from now and realize how good of a game it really was. I bet even 10 years from now it'll still be very playable...
While I didn't fall in love with it Returnal definitely deserves a mention
About halfway through this list started getting good, stuff like Control, DL and DS are very unique, idk about the first few picks tho
Ff7 r was one of the most amazing gaming experiences in recent memory. Such a big gamble but it was executed so well. It was also not super open worl which I really enjoyed. I miss more story based, streamlined games so it was fun to see that in ff7 r. Spent over 100 hours playing it and I’m so, so glad I did. Such an amazing game.
Control reminded me so much of Quantum Break, just with a different set of powers. And I *loved* Quantum Break. (Love Control as well.)
Control was so good that it motivated me to get the Alan Wake game to play it. (I started it years ago but never finished it. Picked up the Remaster and will be playing through it again.)
I saved the Alan Wake DLC on Control. Haven't touched it yet. Won't do so until I play through Alan Wake. Then I can go back and finish Control in full.
Console or PC ?
@@dzangam1879
I play on all platforms. But for this game I am playing on console.
I would also add Returnal as well, its literally a roguelike with bullethell with psychological and Lovecraftian horror. Speaking of Control, can't wait for Alan Wake 2.
Returnal would’ve been a nice fit in this list as well. Great pics, Falcon
Hi Falcon! I watch this channel almost everyday, I love it, you guys are straight forward and most importantly, honest.
Triple A games is a definition of a game with a larg publisher behind it and ofcourse a big budget, like, Darksouls 1-3 ;)
Control was such a fun game I hope to replay it one day
The first Dark Souls cost $25 million to make. That is definitely 100% AAA. It doesn't matter what you consider AAA, it is all about the budget.
This was a video I didn’t want to end. I’m adding Control to my wishlist rn.
Oh man, doom eternal, like the Arkham games, felt like they were made for me. Once I had an understanding of it, I became this friggin monster of the combat variety. Like taking down marauders without letting em even get a chance to swing. One of those games that just fit me like a glove, ya know?
Sad that remakes and sequels qualify as unique AAA games these days
Love these vids! You guys always help me find good games to try (like Control and Nier Automata)
Glad you like them!
I absolutely LOVED Control, from the gameplay to the story. Best free game PS+ has offered. And the Ashtray Maze level, *chef kiss*
Great list, and I would have added Returnal to the honourable mentions list. Didn't reinvent the genre, but it had such a unique way of presenting the narrative to the player and had such a unique story to tell.
Yes but Returnal isn't exactly AAA, it was more of a AA game. And before you say it was a first-party Playstation game, yes that's sort of true but also no. Housemarque was acquired by Sony after Returnal came out, so Returnal was made by a then-independent developer that has only made AA (albeit really good AA) in the past. Housemarque's next game will be their first AAA game.
@@jimmythegamer2231 I think Returnal was classed as AAA
I would have dropped Deathloop to honorable mention. Can’t verify the budget of Returnal but between the visual polish, story and combat I think AAA is deserved.
DOOM Eternal...I beat this game on Nightmare, it pushed me to play and complete other games on their hardest difficulties. One of the greatest games I've played in my lifetime so far.
ayy nice one. Ultra nightmare next? Finished it a while back and the sense of acomplishment is something else. You can do it
@@nathanr6381 i dont think a lot of people have enough time on their hands to beat a 10 hour campaign with permadeath on. you can save after a mission but its bugged so itll just drop you in with no weapons, basically resetting your run anyways.
hey falcon! great video, i absolutely loved control, one of the few games that managed to keep my attention long enough for me to finish it. with that being said, iterating is pronounced with i as in intern rather than i as in eye
Correct, partially - except, _"i as in eye"_ ? "Eye" has no "i" and "as in" means exactly that: *_"as in"_* so you'd pick a word that actually has an "i" *_in it,_* but is pronounced as "eye," like, for instance, "ironic" (sort of like people correcting others make mistakes, I guess, or "correcting" actual English usage based on weird American usage / Americanisms, but that's a whole other chapter and not the case here, "eye-terating" is not just wrong, but almost painfully tongue-twisting and weird, like making an extra effort just to get it wrong for some reason, since "it-erating" is easier and quicker to say).
So, for (another) example, you don't say _"a, or b, or c, or d, ... or i, ... or x, or z [or any other random letter that actually isn't __*_in your example word_* you get the point, I hope] as in sky,"_ you say _"y as in sky."
"Words are hard," some like to say, but languages and speech is interesting fun, in different ways, depending on whether used correctly or incorrectly; in the former case it's fun _as in_ [teasing :p] fascinating, in the latter case more as a sort of comedy of horrors, but either way, without words, language(s), and speech, we'd still only be grunting - and theories say, we (and our brains) may have never evolved beyond (grunting) animals.
Obviously some evolve more than others (on individual levels, not as groups, racial or national or any other) in terms of speech and language aptitudes (and since, the theory goes, that's tied so closely to overall intellectual development and evolutionary steps, maybe in terms of overall intelligence and aptitudes as well, to some extent).
(Well, this was fun; turning four little words -or five, if we include "the trigger word," that _eye-watering "eye-terating"_ into a linguistic discourse. "Leave it to me...")
(PS / edit - I know you meant "i pronounced as eye," but you did write _"i as in eye"_ :)
Control was such an amazing game. I loved every minute of it
Gameranx dropping vids Every day like its christmas! Lets gooooooo thanks guys!
In my opinion, Elden Ring was a standout title and one of the best games of its year, bringing something new and refreshing to the gaming world
👆🏻
Its a One in a generation game, we wont get anything near that quality for a long time
New?
New?
Its nothing new you obviously never played a soulsborne game before if you think this Elden Ring is just Dark souls 1-3 with added content and open world.
Man Deathloop was so good. It was one of the first games I got for my ps5 and I loved the dialogue. The whole Colt /Julianna dynamic had me laughing quite a bit
Yo gameranx! Thanks for the entertainment, y'all make my 10hour shifts bearable. Jake and falcon y'all the real MVP's!!
Crazy how many list vids are on TH-cam and somehow I never get tired of you guys!
Makes me SO HAPPY to see monster hunter world on this list it definitely got me into the monster hunter franchise I've put sooo many hours into it
gameranx making my boy record a VO when he’s sick 😂
Really happy to see control in this list. I love this game
I love doom eternal :)
Its one of the top games
Control was a game I loved. The gameplay and lore was really good, my only complaint was the main story which felt weak but everything else made up for it.
CONTROL, on the other hand, became one of my favorites of the generation. So fun. I stretched that game so far with how many jillions of times I went back to combat areas.
Funny thing, at first I did not gel with the combat AT ALL and in fact quit the game, but restarted it because I thought the very beginning, when you're like, "Wait, where's that door I clearly saw through the glass a second ago?!", was awesome. And once I got the hang of the combat it became like all I wanted to do with my time. I didn't want the story to advance because I was worried the combat would go away or become less engaging but the opposite was true. I'd still drop whatever I was doing to play a round in that main research atrium again.
control... and crosscode... two games that i will never understand didn't explode after years of being out there. i bought control on a whim 4 years ago and i still keep going back.
great video (as always)
Thank you for an amazing video 🫶❤️🔥
Our pleasure!
Definitely feel the same way about DEATHLOOP!
Was expecting to see Returnal make the list. Either way, I'm not mad at this list. All very good and unique games.
Ghost of Tsushima (2020) felt very UNIQUE to me, even though nothing was really new...
Not AAA but Rain World is one of the most unique games I've ever seen.
Have that on steam but forgot about it. I'll move it to the top of my backlog 👍
I wish FromSoft would remake the King's Field games,
as Elden Ring style games.
Control feels like if you fell into the Backrooms right before the LSD you took kicks in
I just finished Control for the first time and man what a game!!!!!
I actually don't mind that FF7 remake is going a different direction, so many things can change now, this can set up the series for a new ending and greater things to come.
Agree it would have been predictable if it was a straight up remake, noting wrong with it but nice to get some different surprises.
I'm just glad FF7R has the vastly superior action RPG combat system. The fact that they're changing the story is a big bonus. Let's be frank, anyone who is interested in an Final Fantasy 7 remake in the first place is highly likely to already know the entire original FF7 story by heart. I wish other remakes would delve more into improving not just the gameplay but the story too.
@joelanderson8062 I mean they are already using atb in og FF7. The one in FF7Re is just a logical improvement from their previous games. You can move in battle and normal attack doesn't consume atb bar (FF12), "more actions per turn" (FF13), seamless walking and encounter (FF15) and now you can do normal attack faster resulting in faster non boss encounter.
As for the story, I won't say anything before they are complete. Tho yeah if you compare it to Trails where even though the story is not complete yet each game still has their own great story FF7Re kinda bland if it just stand alone like that.
For me: I think Red Dead Redemption 2 will always be the epitome of what story driven narratives should strive to be. I've never felt so closely connected or concerned about a character like Arthur Morgan before. He's complex and detailed. He has strengths and weaknesses. He has flaws and faults. It all comes together as the story progresses and you're left with the scars of the remains. Few developers and writers are willing to put in so much effort, detail and consistency with their characters and story and playing RDR2 was such a treat to experience. I wish I could play the game for the 1st time all over again and regain that sense of exploration and discovery.
Great list! I am happy about that Sonic Frontiers honorable mention! I loved it
Glad to see deathloop on this list. I know it was divisive but I loved it.
So glad to see Control on here. I always wanted my friends to play it so they could share in my enjoyment and they never did lol. Such a good game. (Deathloop is also so cool 👌🏻)
Yo friends is missin out, once I told my mama that it's connected to Alan wake, she hooked finally after years of tryna get her interested
Quantum Break is still an amazing (story wise) game from remedy.
Control’s gameplay builds on what they put in there.
I highly recommend playing it if you have an Xbox or PC.
(It’s Microsoft exclusive, sorry PS)
Exclusives should be a crime.
@@immortalfrieza Hopefully ,in the future , we won’t have exclusive anymore, but Sony, Microsoft etc, want to have them to sell their consoles, but alot of the recent exclusives eventually come to PC anyway, which makes the entire point of saying they are “exclusive” void.
@@kingofcrimson4177 Go with streaming then and the pool of hardware will be bigger.
@@kingofcrimson4177 Hopefully. Maybe someday we'll have consoles that sell on their own merits because they provide something that's unique and worthwhile rather than because they lock particular games to particular consoles.
I wish there were other games with such atmosphere as in Control. The architecture and atmosphere just hits different than anything else. Fallout 4 had a little of that same energy exploring unexpected and uncovering interesting lore while advancing the game.
Can you find something more alluring than the ashtray maze in the last decade, i sure can't
Arthur Morgan feels left out
I LOVE that Control is on this list! Once I got the game to properly work (a yr or few after I bought it on pre-order) I played right the way through it, even the dlc. I got the 100% done. Loved playing it and can NOT wait to see what Control will be like! Hopefully as gd as the 1st 🤞🤞
I loved Control. Even after 70+ hours of gameplay I still occasionally find a spot that I haven't discovered before or a box that I haven't opened. I still go on tier 3 expeditions from time to time.
Control's level design has some marvelous moments
Control is one of those games that you don't realy get what's happening,
but it's awesome, love these kinds of games that put you into an unknown environment
and constantly defies your expectations.
Elden Ring is for me probably the best video game I have ever played. It binds everything I love about a Souls game with an even deeper sense of wonder and mystery be cause of it's open world and environmental and object based story telling, that you have to explore to understand the story and all of the endings and side stories and characters. It's a game, that you feel like you can replay a hundred times and there's always something new you haven't discovered or your cause of action takes the quest in another direction.
The problem is that Elden Ring is not unique in just about anything it does. Open world? Nope. Souls like? Not even close. Weapons, armor, items, crafting, with very opaque quest design? No again. I don't hate Elden Ring, I even liked it enough to play through it three times, but I can't think of one thing that makes it unique in any way. I think from a gameplay and game design perspective Sekiro is miles ahead of Elden Ring in many ways. I don't hate it but I also don't quite understand the obscene love affair many have with it. There are games that are better than that one in my opinion, and even objectively there are many better.
Bit outside of the 5 years, but Shadow of War has the awesome army building and siege battles. Yeah I know Shadow of Mordor had branding and Nemesis, but the sequel really expanded it to a great gameplay loop.
Elden ring is up there for greatest game of all time. Defs in the same conversation as ocarina, botw, fallout 4, oblivion, uncharted 2, super mario 64 and galaxy, witcher 3, god of war (ps2), re4 and gta 3.
Cant wait for the Control sequel, that games world building was refreshing
I’ve been playing Deathloop. Engaged me no end. I’ve not finished it yet as I got distracted but such a great premise and game play
👌
i’ll get my hands on it after finally grabbing a ps5 this friday. looks so fun and different from the usual main story driven zombie games i’ve been playing recently. anything i should look out for?
you should check out gameranx video “Top 15 NEW Upcoming Games”
The sound from music to game play is awesome.
The way you say "Iterating" causes me physical pain
They truly were unique, for their time, and still are now.
I swear I'd be entertained by Falcon reading the phonebook
I really think Control is so underrated. And people dont talk about it much. Its freaking amazing game.
My main takeaways here is that apparently seq of thieves is AAA
but Sekiro and Darksouls 3 arent
Love you falcon
❤️🦅
