Dino Crisis (1999) GOG

Eh. Not the biggest fan of this one. Beginning was great, middle was fine, ending gave me a million headaches.

Dispatch (2025) Steam Great game. No notes.

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall (1996)

DF Unity Port (2023)

 Steam Great game. I've played through most of the game many times, but always had to stop because real life issues came up. First time I actually got to complete it myself.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (2002)

GV's OpenMW Vanilla+ Modpack

 Steam

Funny story. I thought that Vanilla+ modpack was just bug fixes and graphic glitches. It was not until the final act of the main quest, where it revamped every single final boss. Including one boss that was almost completely invulnerable to physical damage. Glad I knew that before playing a warrior. Nothing some min-maxing and enchanting can't fix.

Did I mention this was a first playthrough?

  • Main Campaign
  • Tribunal
  • Bloodmoon
Killer Frequency (2023) Steam Thriller Puzzle Game. Pretty fun. Jam packed with references to bigger horror franchises
Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac (2025) Nintendo Switch 2 Fun platformer. I played this as a kid, but never managed to beat it.
Pokémon Crystal (2001) Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console Good Arceus I hated playing this game.
Resident Evil (1996) GOG

It was great replaying this game after so long. I had some weird glitches attempting to use the REbirth patch, which I only wanted to play the Real Survivor mod (hosted on the same page; unlinks Item Boxes like the Real Survivor mode in the Resident Evil remake). With the patch enabled (before even adding any mods), the game regularly crashed whenever events such as door triggers or cutscenes were triggered.

Resident Evil 2 (2019) Steam

Was in a Resident Evil 2 mood again. Just cleaning up some achievements.

  • Standard S+ [Leon A]

  • The Ghost Survivors – Runaway
  • The Ghost Survivors – No Time To Mourn
  • The Ghost Survivors – Forgotten Soldier
Resident Evil 3 (1999)
 GOG

In an "older games" mood, I guess.

I specifically a patched version of the JP copy. The initial part of the patch adds bug fixes but was exclusive to the JP version, and the second part of the patch restores the ENG content (with the exception of JP subtitles during cutscenes).

Truth be told I have no idea what the difference is...

Besides items being shuffled around, at least.

Resident Evil: Requiem (2026) Steam A great game. Not sure what else to say. Except that I hate ARGs apparently.
