Atomic Heart (less) - Half-Baked & Padded for time - what a shame!
A Bioshock spiritual successor?
One could say I'm something of a Bioshock fan, I fell in love with the franchise about 15 minutes into the first one, and I've played through them all numerous times - Tons of fun, and I suggest everyone go through them at least once.
I heard about Atomic Heart from a buddy of mine - he thought it was a Bioshock rip-off but had yet to play it, so I jumped all over it.
It's not like BioShock at all - that's good
Not that I wanted it to be; I would love something similar though, and after looking at the Atomic Heart Steam Page, I picked it up - I thought it just might scratch the itch, and for a moment it did.
* I lost a TON of footage on this one - it would freeze the video but retain the audio. I take hundreds of clips per video, and this is the first time it's happened - my apologies for the lack of contextual clips for some parts - I actually left out about ~3 minutes of the video, because all of the supporting footage was bunk. WRIP.

Midnight Fight Express - Arkham Combat Madness? or Double Dragon DUD?
I’ve been a fan of beat-em-ups since I was a kid, I had a TON of fun with games like River City Ransom and Double Dragon. I’ve watched the genre evolve alongside gaming tech, and I’ve played as many as I can get my hands on.
I’m not sure how many of you have spent much time as kids (or adults) feeding arcade machines, but if you have I’m sure you’ve seen one of the classics and fed it a quarter or two.
Midnight Fight Express is an isometric 3d Beat-em-up, with motion-captured animations – sounds great, and from the looks of the steam page it should be a blast! Let's find out!

Journey to the Savage Planet - Quirky & Fun? or Boring & Cringe?
At first glance, Journey to the Savage Planet struck me as a sort of "bargain-bin good-for-a-rental" type offering, although the art style caught my eye immediately. Is it worth the buy?

Roguelike Tactical Auto-battles | Let's play in the Cemetary of Bob!
I look around for new demos to play semi-regularly, and I almost scrolled right past this one - but after viewing the hovercard I HAD to check out the Steam page for this one, and I'm glad I did - the game is a blast, and offers quite a bit more than similar demos I've played.
The name and thumb caught my eye, the trailer grabbed my attention, and the game had me coming back for more - Let's play in the Cemetary of Bob.

Evil West is AWESOME! I'm glad I played it! | Old-school Roots with Modern Boots
Simply put - I had a blast with this game! It's got an Old-school (ps3/360 era) feel, with some modern shine - and it's super fun to play through. If you like beating the crap out of monsters and stuff - you'll love this.

Let's Play Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order - Worth it? - REFUND WINDOW
I'll be playing Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order for two hours - the Steam refund time limit - to see if I think it's worth keeping. Sweet game? or Steaming pile?
I don't condone refunding games "just because" - I'm simply seeing if I think the 2-hour window is "enough" to warrant the full purchase. I'll be following up with a final impressions video for each of the games that pass muster!
Check it out!

PACIFIC DRIVE - A Driving Horror Game? Is it Worth the sticker price? REFUND WINDOW
Is the steam refund window (2 hours) long enough to decide if this game is worth the scratch? Now, I'll admit I didn't know much about this one going in - I try not to spoil games for myself, and I try not to spoil them for you - Just give you a look at a game as I played it, and describe my thoughts and experiences.
This was quite a surprise, to say the least! Was it a good one though?

ENSHROUDED - Just ANOTHER Survival game? - REFUND WINDOW
I've seen a few things about this game here and there (well - here) and it piqued my interest, so I thought I would take a peek behind the veil and see if it has anything to offer - Good game? or polished turd enshrouded in hype?

REFUND WINDOW | The Thaumaturge - Baldur's Gate 3 Rip?
The Thaumaturge - I had heard a bit about this one, and after release, I saw it referred to as "wish brand BG3" under a screenshot gallery and thought it looked pretty interesting, so here we are! Solid buy? or knock-off crap?
Check it out!

Battlefield 1: Revolution | Worth the price of admission? | REFUND WINDOW
I haven't played Battlefield since the third one in the series dropped - that was quite some time ago! I wanted to see if this one was any good - looked great! But how does it play?
I missed the steam sale, but I grabbed it anyhow!

THIEF - Smackin Fools & Snaggin Jewels | Quick Review | Stealth Thief Sim
https://nofrillsgaming.com/thief-smackin-fools-snaggin-jewels
It's been a looong time since I've played a Thief game, and I've had this sitting in my "list of games to play" for quite some time now as well. I was waiting for skyrim to download and felt like it was the right time to take to the streets and snatch some wallets - so here we are!
I had a ton of fun playing through this one! Not quite as "hardcore" as I remember the others, but that's fine by me, I still had a blast!

NEED FOR SPEED UNBOUND - Sweet ride? or Total Junk?
I love the Need for Speed games - but I haven't played this one yet - is it worth the sticker price? or just another lame ride flip?
I had some issues with DS4Windows, the game would rebind all the controls at random. That was a first. Aside from that, no technical issues at all.

Asmongold made me do it - Another Crabs Treasure | I've never played a Souls Game
I played a Demon's Souls (I think that's the one) game on PS3 a really long time ago for about 10 mins, and I didn't like it one bit. I had seen this game and it looked interesting - until I saw the souls-like, that had me hesitating a bit.
But, I saw Asmongold dropped a couple videos on it, one alluding to the fact it made him mad - so I had to try it. It must be pretty good (hard) if it can get him mad!

South Park Snow Day! Worth playing? or should I just stay inside today?
I love South Park - it's a great show, and the games they've put out prior to this were pretty good! How is this one? Worth playing? Or should I just stay inside today?

HELLBLADE 2: SENUAS SAGA - Worth the Buy? Or as bad as they say?
I totally loved the first Hellblade, especially after I took it for what it was - I had just completed the first (video link below) about a week or so before I found out about the second one! Had to play it! The first Hellblade was good - but will the second be worth the cash?
