It was just a fun time with an engaging style that incorporated down-on-their-luck heroes, an ‘80s soundtrack, and sci-fi roots.

The moment that The Outer Worlds was announced, I was hooked.

Doom Eternal | Backlog Review
The first time that I had ever played a Doom game was with the 2016 reboot, and I loved every moment of it.

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood | Backlog Review
Continuing on my Wolfenstein adventure, I’m onto the smaller games to have released in MachineGames’ lineup. The Old Blood was released between The New Order and The New Colossus but is set before the events of The New Order, so that means that we are traveling back to the past and WW2.
