Protips: Don't buy Halo 4. Set crosshair position to lowered for all games. Always play with Classic graphics and soundtrack. Don't listen to the Terminals in CE and H2. Play on at least Heroic difficulty and skulls are fun. Humans are Forerunners. Forklifts never die.

Thank you 343 Industries for keeping the flame lit. Please tell Microsoft to never let you or anyone else make a new Halo game ever. This one still needs tender love and care.

The animals in this game are very pretty and you can build beautiful homes for them.

Absolutely in love with this game and its world since the first betas in 2012. Though this MMO have a surprisingly deep build customization for any RPG, I've spent most of my time casually soaking in the world in PvE. The story is alright and has its ups and hideous downs, but I think the narrative really shines through fantastic worldbuilding and art direction. Make sure to take your time to explore and listen in to NPC conversations--it's there Tyria really shines.

While tempting, I advise against boosting your first character to 80 or rushing a mount. Play a new class to at least level 31 (when you unlock your first elite skill) to get a feel for the class before considering a levelling boost. Take it slow and learn the basics!

Even if you don't actually manage to produce a game, you can still spend hundreds of hours just having fun while experimenting with the engine and goofing around with silly adventures.

This particular version of RPG Maker is super approachable, and you can easily find and install powerful plugins to remove any limitations you might encounter.

Look up some tutorials online and have fun. ☆

A timeless classic.

When I first played Yume Nikki it was during a time where my life kinda mimicked Madotsuki, the main character. I fell asleep with the game running its droning music and woke up with its depresisng mantra. Not sure if I should recommend that particular playstyle, but I sure can recommend this game!

As an exploration game, it is slow and difficult to navigate. But the journey through her dreams becomes both rewarding and meditative as you find and unlock more effects for Madotsuki to wield.

11/10 would wake up just to go back to sleep again and again.

A short and cute little story!

What I find most impressive is how the deceivingly short levels have so much to offer.

One of those games you need to play if you're into video games. Which you probably are!

This game is filled to the brim with little wisdoms scattered between amazing and surreal puzzles.

A must-play if you're even remotely interested in video games.

Poetry through music, landscape and monologue. Most games -and most players- seem to be obsessed with mechanical interaction to engage in a game, but I think Dear Esther proves that the definition of the word "game" have changed.

Also, a second playthrough with Director's Commentary is highly recommended.

Makes me feel helpless and awkward.

High replayability.
