Media List 2020
2020 might compete in the Most Pivotal Year in History Award, but it had its fair share of surprises. I had the time to attack start to finish several games. I reused the commute time to play. Below is the list that I compiled using the new GOG Galaxy app, that tracks games even from other stores.
The list of movies I’m going to skip this time, since it would not fit into a single post.
Games
- Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey (): I loved this game, setting and its protagonist Cassandra
- Dishonored (): unique story, gameplay and visuals (1)
- Hellblade Senua s Sacrifice superb visuals and premise
- Half-Life 2 (): amazing game, even today (1)
- Prey (): these guys from Arkane Studios also know how to write and make all characters relevant
- >Observer_ (): super weird setting that caught my attention
- Rise of the Tomb Raider (): messy story, despite the good gameplay loop
- Dishonored: Death of the Outsider (): while it have the same not the same

- Ape Out () die and repeat
- Assassin’s Creed: Origins (): beautiful but boring and another AC messing story
