Fallout: New Vegas - Old World Blues (2011) - Rated 09 Mar 2021

My favorite New Vegas DLC is so damn funny when amping up the retrofuturist vibe of the Fallout world, and adding even more B-movie to the mix. But with all the fun and laughs it's easy to forget how freaking dark the story is. And somehow, this made me cry by the end.

Fallout: New Vegas - Dead Money (2010) - Rated 09 Mar 2021

I'm usually in games for story with a dash of combat, but I somehow loved the grueling aspect of this DLC. The story really worked but being left without any of my security blanket gear and items with a bomb around my neck and getting to hate speakers and radios... Could not have expected loving being tortured so much.

Fallout: New Vegas (2010) - Rated 09 Mar 2021

I do not know how I missed playing this for 10 years, but I was a complete fool. Such a great game and finally a worthy successor to Fallout 1 & 2. I so loved the complexity of the factions, the top notch quality of the side quests, all of the weird little details. Definitely became one of my favorite games ever.

Disco Elysium (2019) - Rated 06 Dec 2019

I loved this game so much. It's such an interesting role-playing experience, with so many options, loved the character traits and the thought catalog and the world is phenomenal. And it makes you live some extremely potent moments that have to deal with violence that nearly broke me. Which I loved. It's the kind of game where you shouldn't load and try again... Because the story you create is the story you have, why change it? Maybe my new favorite ever.

Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love (2019) - Rated 30 Sep 2019

A sorta remake of the Escape from Monkey Island series but with a play on a communist regime/ country. It had lovely details and mini-puzzles and quite a lot of pop-culture Easter eggs. All in all, a fun Sunday afternoon play.
