I thought Dead Space had great gameplay
I did not wish to imply Dead Space did not have good/great gameplay.
In TCP , there is only the lean left/right mechanic, it gets one through the initial no gun phase, gun phase, normal enemies and boss fights, the usage is necessary and the animations are basically same.
Similarity is story wise, desolate setting, protagonist arrival, cult machinations, infestation, stomping, spider like monsters with appendages.
UI, etc.
Dead Space (original, haven't played the new one), had great atmosphere , this by the same people not so much.

I really enjoy Space Marine 2. It reminds me about the "ol days" from the Xbox 360 area. A straight forward action game, with simple but satisfying mechanics and moment to moment game play. Campaign, PVE and PVP mode. It just works for me and is great. Shows me again, what games I personally really like and that less and less of these are made nowadays.
This game is in my opinion also interesting from another perspective. It is my personal opinion that it clearly shows the massive brain drain that must (have) happen in the games industry in the last decade/years. The online systems this game provides are (a bit exaggarated) from PS2 area it seems. The makers of the online/match making/server system are clearly not experienced and have no expertise in what is currently accepted state of the art in online gaming. These persons are new to their job. Even more astounding overall, as the company itself has published games with online functionality alreay. It is missing so many QoL features that it is indeed baffiling how a modern gaming company manages to release it like this. It is working, do not get me wrong, but it feels like software from the stone age

Still banging away at The First Decendant. Kind of gave up on Harold Halibut, I think that is a perfect deck\ally\go game.
Got quite a way into Star Wars Outlaws but then just kind of ran out of steam. It just seems to be missing whatever magic that I find so enthralling with other openworld Ubi games e.g. Avatar, AC, FarCry etc.

Forgot about that game. Looked amazing, but not a lot of reviews on Steam suggesting not a lot of sales. Isn't it a point-and-click adventure? If so, an iOS port is necessary.
It's a strange game, the stop-go claymation makes it look pretty unique and it has some depth to it but it's just lacking something that made me want to jump back in. I think it would make an excellent mobile platform game, though I have not yet tried it on any of my toys.
Playing Red Dead Redemption for the first time and am really enjoying it. You only get to play a game for the first time once and this has that novel feel to it. I was up until 3:30a without even knowing it and I had things to do this morning that I was almost late for. Gotta go mow the lawn and cook before I can play again and I'm already impatient for it.
