Game #1: Assassin& #39;s Creed Origins (main game)
I enjoyed this one a lot. The ending was pretty epic and emotional and the music at the end... or better say the remix, made it even more epic. Awesome scenery. I also loved Bayek!

Game #2: GRIS
Beautiful little indie game with an outstanding art style and sound design. Gave me goosebumps several times throughout the run, which is rare for me.

Game #3: LIMBO
Sometimes quite challenging puzzle platformer with a dark atmosphere. I sometimes found the timing for some riddles a bit frustrating. Though, overall a great game and a good predecessor to it& #39;s bigger brother, INSIDE.

Game #4: RE2R (Leon)
I will still play through the other parts but, I know the story now.
Awesome graphics, great atmosphere and probably the first horror game I truly enjoyed playing. The puzzles were not too easy. Overall a great experience.

Game #5: Vampyr
A beautiful atmospheric game set in 1918 flu-ridden London. The combat was challenging at times which was the perfect counterpart to the long dialogue and story parts the game offered. Underrated and a hidden gem of this gen imo.

Game #6: ABZร
You play as diver that is trying to restore order in the ocean, accompanied by beautiful visuals and music. While I liked Journey more this game is definitely a good successor to it.

Game #7: Ori and the Will of the Wisps
From gameplay over visuals to soundtrack, this game is another masterpiece and plays even better than it& #39;s predecessor, it& #39;s more challenging though. For me it& #39;s a possible candidate for GOTY 2020.

Game #8: NieR: Automata
A great Hack n& #39; Slay/JRPG with a great story, which for me was a little too predictable in some points, notheless a great plot point and an awesome soundtrack. Combat took a bit to get used to, after that it was awesome.

Game #9: Tomb Raider (2013)
A Survival/Adventure game with a great story. The puzzle elements were fun, the combat was action packed but QTEs could& #39;ve been less. Visually, the characters looked outstanding considering the age of the game.

Game #10: Rise of the Tomb Raider
Survival/Adventure game with a great and interesting story. They polished the gameplay and performance compared to the predecessor and the puzzles and explorations felt more diverse. Awesome graphics too!

Game #11: Alien Isolation
A must-play for fans of the Alien franchise. The amount of Alien references and the effort they put into making it feel like the movie is incredible. It feels a bit too dragged out towards the end though, unfortunately.
