Wreckfest is a fun, arcadey racing game. It's a sort of spiritual successor to games like Destruction Derby and Destruction Derby Raw back on the original Playstation. There's plenty of cars, a nice, if limited upgrade system, and a straightforward Campaign mode.
Crysis is a legendary game as a benchmark for PC graphics - "can it run Crysis?' was both a meme and a serious question. These days, Crysis still looks great, but is not longer cutting-edge, and for me, the gameplay was nothing special.
Evil West is one of the free monthly games for PS Plus for January 2024. At first glance it looks super cool, and the tutorial level was ok. The combat is weighty and feels ok, a bit like a knock off God of War.
Lego 2K Drive is one of the free monthly PS Plus games for December 2023, and initial I was disappointed, but after playing a little bit, I'm actually a bit impressed.
Cities: Skylines is probably the best of the modern city building games. I played and enjoyed this game when it first came out, and had a good time planning out and watching my city grow.

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.
My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.
Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.
Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.
