2025 in 13 games

Only 13 games played in 2025.

Winter - Jan - Mar

1. XXX Far Cry 3 - 2012

Paradise island shooter where you rescue your friends, kill crazy people and do drugs. All ancient temples is built in the style of Indiana Jones and collapse when you pick up the artifact. Gameplay gets a bit on repeat and with the crashes I gave up in the end.

The main far cry elements are water, green stuff and a bow.

2. XXX Sniper Elite Resistance - 2025

Shoot nazis in Vichy France as a new lead character, Harry Hawker. Fun and best in coop where you can make horrible misstakes togheter.

Stealth when you forgot the welrod.

3. XXX Assassins Creed Valhalla - 2020

Invade England as a Viking and do some assassins stuff on the side. Diluted and same same content. Most noticeable with the story and characters. Most of them do nothing, say nothing and just pass the time.

The blips on the map is the real game.

4. XXX Resident Evil 3 - 2020

Survival horror that is more linear action. Stumbled into forced progression and missed large parts to explore. The Nemesis was boring but i do dislike boss battles. Story was stupid and the more characters talks, the more of the stupid shows. Best thing is Carlos hair.

It’s a boss room, everyone can see it as bossrom. It’s your fourth fight with this guy, are you slow in the head Jill?

Spring Apr-Jun

5. XXX Resident Evil 2 - 2019

This remake of the 1998 game is great. The only thing I could be without is the part where Mr.X roam around in the police station. So strange they added that for RE2 and removed it for Nemesis in RE3.

The survival part in the game is if my save key survive the playthrough.

6. XXX Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition - 2021

Walk around and click every pixel on screen to find items that blend into background. Once an hour you might shoot someone. Did not enjoy this much, but then again, who does?

Well at least it's not raining inside.

7. XXX Mass Effect - 2007

Fine. Ok. Not to bad. It could be worse. Is how I would describe this game. All things average or below. The things I disliked was the Mako and the planet exploration. No fun and a waste of time. The core feeling while playing was that I would rather have Kotor 3 and I hope things improve in Mass Effect 2.

Akward elevator time.

8. XXX Horizon Zero Dawn - 2017

Use spears, bows and stealth to uncover the mysterious past of a world filled with murderous machines. Did not enjoy the combat that much so I went for story mode. Bit unbalanced the way to story is spaced out. Lore dumped in the face with logs and recordings in the last missions.

9. XXX Sniper Elite VR - 2021

Does not really feel like Sniper Elite with the linear missions. Sitting down and shooting makes it hard to get ammo for reload and holstering weapons feels broken most of the time.

Summer Jul-Sep

10. XXX Far - Lone Sails - 2018

Sail and drive your strange vehicle to the right across desolate landscape. Walk to some puzzles to keep it going and unlock progress.

Steam punk at the end of the world.

11. XXX Little Nightmares 2 - 2021

Really hated the run sections in this game.

School, nothing good will happen here.

12. XXX Metro Exodus - 2019

Nice ending to Metro series where you take a train across russia to find paradise. Most of the ones you find are fucked up in some way. Fun open levels to explore.

Think i got the best possible ending.

Autumn Oct-Dec

13. XXX Battlefield 6 - 2025

The Battlefield 6 campaign have stupid plot, bland characters and bad dialogue. The anticipation of the next cliché-filled voice line drained all joy and in the end I hated the whole experience. Stay away. Multiplayer is nice.

One person on this team did not help much ;)
