The Price of Freedom has seeps in my heart like the melancholy of experience of playing whole Ff7 game including Crisis Core. Most mental bashing is the One Winged aangel where Seph would appear (shhh dont call out his full name, its jynxed :P ), and the heartwarming is the Nibelheim or when you are at the town and… Read more

Playing it co-op with my 8 year old has been the best thing over this frigid NYC Christmas break. Read more

The audio logs from Horizon Zero Dawn, especially towards the end of the game when everything comes together. The characters were super boring but the story was fantastic, my GOTY for 2017. Good mix of story and gameplay. Read more

It’s a toss-up between finishing the Trial of Sword or the New Donk City Festival. Read more

It wasn’t an in-game thing (not until next year at least), but the TMNT announcement for Injustice 2 by and far surpassed everything else for me.
