Ah the gaming awards were reviewers are never biased or paid /s
Finished AC Valhalla, and generally I've enjoyed the game. I would consider Valhalla my second fav of the modern games, with Origins being my favourite. That ending though with Basim and Eivor and Layla seemed all over the place in terms of scripting, and I don't find it to be a satisfying ending. No credits or any such thing either.
The Order assassinations, outside of the ones as part of the story, more or less seem pointless and not at all well integrated into the game. Though that's an issue with the modern games where assassinations seem to take a backseat, and I wish they would integrate them into the game better again.

I'm still playing Silksong. In my second playthrough I decided to do a Beast/Witch crest only run. I chose those because they are the only two crests without a guaranteed heal on bind. Both binds require damaging enemies to regenerate health.
I'm currently right at the start of act 3. I'm finding that Beast is great on large enemies and terrible on small quick moving enemies. And Witch is just bad in general. Beast is the best at damaging any enemies that don't rely on counterattacking with the downthrust. Witch has similar movement to other crests but has the worst bind.

Just over 4 hours into playing Control and really it's meh. I am glad I waited on this one and got it super cheap but really don't get the hype this game got when it was first released. The story is well it's a thing, Federal Agency is attacked that is a supernatural version of the FBI kind of, the environments don't feel especially original or the waves of enemies.

I am in the process of finishing the DLCs and I reasonably liked it. It's all about the gameplay especially with the psychokinetic powers.
I get that and if you enjoy it then more power to you. That's great but It wasn't what I liked and I wanted to get it when it was cheap just to have a go, now I'm past mission 6 and well I have to finish it now.
The gameplay is quite repetitive and the level design can be quite confusing to navigate. But I did still find it to be a fun game, and it's all tied into Remedy's Alan Wake series.
Sorry but that's another one I looked at thought it could be fun then regretted the purchase. I just couldn't get into it and the gameplay felt repetitive

Well, fair enough. The games Remedy have put out in the last while have been fairly quirky, and they might not be for everyone.
Max Payne 1 and 2 were great fun.
Third game felt like a non stop cutscene. It literally doesn't slow down or stop
Yeah, I had my issues with the 3rd game too, but that one wasn't made by Remedy, but rather Rockstar. Remedy is working on remakes of the first two games though.
I mean, I can understand what they were trying to do, but in many ways they turned it into a generic 3rd person shooter. Remedy ended up getting the rights back to their own IP from Rockstar, and there might be a chance that if their remakes prove successful, that they make a new entry.
