Completed Games in 2019

Control

• My favorite game of 2019. 
• The graphics went from great to amazing when you enabled ray tracing, it actually made me purchase a 2080ti.
• The particle effects were unbelievable, during combat stuff is flying all over the place and being able to see all the destruction you caused to the environment was impressive.  
• The voice acting was great and just like other Remedy games the live action video sequences were awesome. 

Resident Evil 2

• I never played the original back in the day, but this version was awesome and brought back some feelings of RE4.
• I played as Chris and need to go back and play again as Jill to see what difference that play through will bring.
• Resident Evil 3 is coming soon.

Days Gone  

• The game got mixed reviews, but I really enjoyed my time with the game.  
• Their take on a zombie game felt unique enough that I never got zombie fatigue.
• I really liked riding the bike and thought it was fun to ride around and explore the environment.

Luigi's Mansion 3   

• A wonderful game that had me smiling the whole time.  The game is just full of surprises and innovative ideas. 

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

• Having just rewatched all of the Star Wars films made me appreciate the game so much more as it really made you feel like a Jedi. 
• The game was awesome and I can't wait for a sequel. 

Metro Exodus

• I enjoyed the game, but I liked the other two better.  Not every game needs to be an open world and even though the world was gorgeous there was just something about the claustrophobic feel of the first 2 games that really makes those games stand out.

Yakuza 0

• If you've never played a Yakuza game then you are missing out.
• Combat is crazy and the story is wacky, but definitely worth spending your time with.
• 3 Yakuza games are coming to Xbox Game Pass this year.  

Darksiders 3

• Each Darksiders game has played differently and this was a Dark Souls lite version that I really enjoyed.
• Also Darksiders Genesis is really good. 

Mortal Kombat 11(9,10)

• After starting the story mode I realized that I hadn't finished the other games story modes so I went back and finished them and they were all great.
• I played 9 and 10 using a fight stick and did pretty well, but on 11 I switched to the controller and it was so much better.  I did miss the feeling of playing with the sticks but with all the button presses I found the controller to be much easier to use. 
• Just played some multiplayer fights this week with Brisket and it was smooth and a ton of fun. 

Astral Chain

• If you are looking for a 3rd person action game on the Switch then grab this right now. 
• Great combat and interesting story with some quirky Japanesiness thrown in.

Gears 5

• Another competent Gears game.  Once again open worlds are not needed for every game, the world was fine but a linear story works just as well. 
• I did like the fact they didn't do the Gear 4 tactic of making you fight waves of enemies over and over.  
• It's still one of the best co-op games.  

Crackdown 3

• Just old school fun and best played on co-op.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 

• Back to the basics and loved every minute of it.
• Being able to play with a controller on PC against other controller users made the multiplayer for me and they keep on enhancing the game. 
• Battle Royale mode coming soon?

Bioshock 1,2,3

• Replayed the entire trilogy with all DLC and it was a great time.
• Bioshock 4 is coming.  

Mass Effect

• A mod for the PC version released that allows all the PC versions to use an Xbox controller so I started playing through the trilogy again.
• The first game is still an amazing ride.
• I got through about a third of the 2nd game and stalled for a bit after some rumors mentioned that they may be remaking the trilogy.
