This was probably the only game I was somewhat interested in keeping my PS5 for. Kind of glad I sold it, especially if the gameplay is lacking in this. It's weird because the Spider-Man games had such fun gameplay, and maybe some narrative iffiness, so this feels like a complete reverse.

The one that gets mobs on me is RDR2. Arthur is generic the whole way through. The plot is just strung along by "TRUST THE PLAN" for *centuries* and doesn't evolve in a meaningful way. The plot completely nosedives in quality in chapter 5. The world is pretty but empty. The gameplay is only fine.
I'm going to hold your hand when I say this. The first Alan Wake. It was atrocious. It was tired with Stephen King references, and a story that was severely lacking. I didn't care for it. At all. The second game, however, was excellent.

"RE9 is an easy enough recommendation for the Grace sections alone, but it’s a shame those parts are somewhat bogged down by some of Resident Evil’s worst habits." - @gordon.jagreview.com Read the full review for Resident Evil Requiem here: jagreview.com/2026/04/20/r...
Doom: The Dark Ages - It's better than Eternal, but we gotta stop trying to make the exposition-heavy story a thing. It just doesn't work, and Doom 2016 did it best by being thinner in the dialogue. But the shield works very well in combat, and the lack of verticiallity that plagued Eternal is nice.
Elden Ring Nightreign - Honestly, I was really close to putting this game in the worst of the year for a while. It clicked a little bit more as I kept forcing myself to play it, but it doesn't get near the point of being a recommended game. I do appreciate them using the assets to try something new.
South of Midnight - REALLY close to making it to my top 6 this year. Excellent visual and audio design, very well-realized, and is actually about something. Its gameplay just ticking the boxes really holds it back, but I don't have many complaints. If it were a weaker year, it would have been top 6.

While I prefer to eat insulation myself, my friend pointed out that Drywall Eating Simulator by @peripheralplaybox.com has recently been released, and I think there's finally a game that truly represents who I am......
