Cool casual game with friends

If you're a fan of metroidvania games and are nostalgically fond of days spent playing your Game Boy instead of doing your homework- this game is for you. Real talk though, Hollow Knight is likely one of the best indie games of all time and can be had for less than $20. It is quite astonishing that this game was made by 3 Australians and some pocket change.

The Wicher 3 is a beautifully crafted masterpiece set in a dystopian world of elves, dwarves, monsters and humans- straying not too far from inspired works including Game of Thrones and Skyrim.

Pros:
-Incredibly immersive and interwoven storyline that empowers the player to seek out opportunities and carve their own path
-Raises the bar for video game writing & story telling by introducing quests that are actually morally ambiguous with irreversible consequences
-Unbelievably well produced end product considering the measly 81 Million dollar budget for a AAA title.

Cons:
- The small budget is unfortunately a factor; visual and audio assets are often reused for different quests. This becomes more and more obvious as you play the game and see the same character face or hear the same voice actor.

One of the more artistic, emotional, and relevant indie games I have played

Pros:
- Immersive storyline set in a dystopian world that tackles concepts especially present in today's world of politics
- Absolutely stellar music for any video game, and industry leading voice acting for the
Price point! You will not have a better experience for $5

Cons:
- The game is short in length, but does have replayability
- I wish there were more gameplay features, and additional chapters in the storyline, even if it came as DLC
