One of the best FPS games I've ever played. And it's not even finished yet. No regrets buying this full price.

Here's a quick review for all the games here:

Quiplash 3: It's Quiplash. Of course it's great. The Thrip Lash that makes you give three answers per prompt is a cool twist and has lead to some fun moments in my streams.

Devils and the Details: Depending on who you play with this is either fun or insufferable. My recommendation is to play this with people you know instead of randos in your stream chat that way you can communicate effectively.

Champ'd Up: The drawing game of the pack. If you played Bracketeering in PP4, it's that but with pictures.

Talking Points: As soon as this was revealed I knew this would be the hidden gem of the pack. You and a randomly selected assistant have to improv an entire TED talk and if it wasn't for Quiplash, it would be the best game in this pack. We have yet to have a game that didn't make us laugh. Hoepfully Jackbox gives us a sequel to this.

Blather 'Round: The weakest game in the pack in my opinion but it's still fun. My biggest problem is that there's nothing stopping the presenter from simply giving the answer so there's a bit of an honor system that has to be had with this.

TLDR
Quiplash 3 and Talking Points tie for best game
Champ'd Up is alright
Devils and the Details is love it or hate it
Blather 'Round is weaksauce

You get a collection of some of the best FPS games of all time, a franchise whose lore and story age like fine wine, gameplay that other FPS games WISH they had.

Oh and Halo 4 is here too.

Three of the original Playstation's best platformers comes to the PCMR and it's about time. Yes, it's a collectathon but it's 3 of them well done. The remasters are incredibly faithful to the originals and even add a layer of care that make these worth looking at even if you're like me and played these games to death as a kid. Word of warning, you will need a decently powered PC to run this guy.

The best version of FFXV. If your PC can run it.

I can't believe they turned the visual effects of 2001 A Space Oddyssey into a game.

If you haven't played this don't call yourself a gamer. Also if you're going to buy here, the community guides will tell you how to optimize the quirks in this version.

I feel like this is the closest thing we're going to get to Wipeout on PC. Thing is though it does that so well I have to remind myself that this ISNT Wipeout.

This game somehow finds a way to make a walking simulator frustrating: Your movement is slow as molasses and you have no warning when youre about to hit a wall until you hit the wall. The whole "world is revealed as you go through it" mechanic was done right in The Unfinished Swan but this is that done wrong. The story itself is fine but a short film would have been a better medium for it.

This is a game I keep coming back to, not nessecarily because it's good but because it's fun. And in the end isn't that what we want in a game? Chao Garden will take over your life, and Aquatic Mine can go to hell.
