Games I've Been Enjoying Lately
As a developer, gaming isn't just a pastime—it's a source of inspiration and a way to unwind. Here are some titles I've been immersed in recently:
Cyberpunk 2077
I spent around 50 hours in Night City, exploring every corner and engaging in various activities. The game's build system is incredibly flexible, allowing me to play as a hacker or a katana-wielding samurai. I completed nearly all side missions, each offering unique stories and challenges. The immersive world and engaging narrative kept me hooked from start to finish.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
As a long-time fan of the Prince of Persia series, I was eager to dive into this new installment. The platforming mechanics are smooth, and the combat is fluid. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and managed to achieve 100% completion. The game offers a nostalgic yet fresh take on the classic formula.
Silent Hill 2 Remake
Having played the original on PS2, I was curious to see how the remake would hold up. The atmospheric tension is palpable, and the psychological horror elements are well-executed. The game took me about 15–20 hours to complete, and it was a deeply unsettling experience in the best possible way.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure
This narrative-driven game captivated me with its compelling characters and emotional depth. The addition of new powers adds an intriguing layer to the story. As someone who enjoys cinematic games like Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human, this title was right up my alley.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (Multiplayer)
I've been a fan of the Call of Duty series since the PS3 era, and Black Ops 6 continues to deliver. The multiplayer mode is fast-paced and exhilarating. I haven't touched the story mode yet—I'm too engrossed in the competitive matches.
Split Fiction
Playing this co-op adventure with my sibling was an absolute blast. Developed by Hazelight Studios, known for "It Takes Two," Split Fiction offers a blend of genres and requires teamwork to navigate its imaginative worlds. The dynamic gameplay kept us engaged throughout.
Resident Evil 4 Remake
As a long-time fan of the Resident Evil series, I was thrilled to revisit this classic. The remake stays true to the original while enhancing the graphics and gameplay. The survival horror elements are as intense as ever, and I found myself on the edge of my seat throughout.
Anomaly Agent
Developed by a creator I follow, Anomaly Agent caught my attention. The platforming mechanics are reminiscent of Prince of Persia, and the game offers a short but sweet experience. I completed it twice, once in normal mode and once in New Game+, and thoroughly enjoyed the combo-based gameplay.
