Top 5 Games

Ghostrunner
No other game came close to the pure joy and frustrating “one more go” nature of Ghostrunner for me.
Last of Us Part 2
Incredible story, much better gameplay than the first, and a unique storytelling perspective that made me hate Ellie and made me want to follow Abby to the ends of the Earth.
Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War
Doom Eternal
Spider Man: Miles Morales
