The Outer Worlds 2 Review: Did It Live up to the Hype?

I finally got my hands on one of my most anticipated games of 2025: The Outer Worlds 2. As a big fan of the first game, I went in hoping the sequel would expand on everything that made the original so memorable. While The Outer Worlds 2 delivers an overall enjoyable experience, some elements feel surprisingly average, leaving me with mixed feelings by the end.

I Have Mixed Feelings About Battlefield 6

Despite having a strong release, Battlefield 6 has struggled to keep up. The player base has dropped drastically as EA/DICE struggle to come out with quality content. It's a shame because I love the feel of this game as it reminds me of the Battlefield games I grew up with. However, I have mixed feelings thanks to questionable game design choices and for the fact that EA/DICE have struggled yet again with keeping up with the live service model.

Dying Light: The Beast Is Incredible

Dying Light: The Beast is another fantastic entry in the franchise. The Beast continues to offer one of the best gameplay formulas out there. The combat is great. It’s as gory and as gruesome as it’s ever been. The game is just as fun when you aren’t chopping zombie heads off thanks to the parkour element. Techland created a perfectly sized open world game, and they were able to successfully integrate the parkour and combat systems into it. The Beast is a must play due to its stellar gameplay and linear focused narrative.

Mafia: The Old Country Falls Just Short of Being Great

Mafia: The Old Country is a game that looks great but is lacking in content. It’s a classic single-player narrative experience that offers a fun story. But the storytelling and gameplay elements are limited due to the game’s length. I enjoyed my time with the title, but I was expecting a lot more from the fourth installment in this franchise.

Avowed Review: It's Better Than You Think

Avowed is a solid game. The game features fantastic combat which is broken up into multiple systems. The world looks amazing and it is a semi open world game that gives you the right amount of content. The story may not be the best, but the gameplay will help you get through it. This game is worth a play through.
