I picked up "Mafia: Definitive Edition" cheap the other day (I've linked it on Steam as it's still on sale for the next few days).

I was a fan of Mafia (the original from 2002) and felt it was cheap enough to give it a shot and I'm glad I did: besides the infamous/arduous racing level I found it to be very enjoyable overall.

I was sad to see that there wasn't any "Freeride Extreme" in the latest version (this was bonus, fun, ludicrous content, available after completing the game) as it would have been a nice addition, the "Freeride" mode is likewise a little lackluster but the actual campaign is great.

What was the last game you finished? Was it any good?

Hotline Miami. Very fun game.

That was my go-to “blow off steam” game before DOOM 2016. What a killer game, literally, and a work of art imo.

I've realised that I need fun, skill-based gameplay the most. I get fed up with doing inventory management, stuff-shuffling and crafting, both in-game and IRL! Edit; awesome soundtrack too

F.E.A.R. and I thought it was pretty fun.

Looks great for when it was made and the lighting was pretty impressive. The story was kind of dumb and super cliche. The scares mostly didn't work, but they got me with a few jump scares. The music and atmosphere were pretty eerie and effective. Decent shooter!

I'll eventually check out the sequels and now I really want to play that studio's spy games. I think they are called No One Lives Forever or something like that.

I finished Outer Wilds a few weeks ago. It was, in my opinion, one of the strongest arguments for treating video games as an art form that I've ever experienced. It's not long - I finished it in about 20 hours - but the narrative and story is so well put together and thought out that it felt a lot longer. I thought it was beautiful and thought provoking.

Video games as a whole aren't for everyone, but if I meet someone and they're interested in games but hasn't played them much, Outer Wilds is on the top of my list of recommends. If you play a lot of video games, this one will amaze you. Don't read anything about it - just grab it when it's on sale and go in blind. I did and it made a big difference.

Cut scene. It was Starfield. Cut scene. Once was enough. Cut scene. Fast travel back to Skyrim...

It was not Starfield

You don't really 'finish' Factorio, but a few months ago I FINALLY launched my first rocket after a thousand hours of play over 6.5 years. I just always had other things I was up to and for a long time launching a rocket mechanically did nothing so I had no incentive. Here I am detailing some of it at that other site

Super Mario Wonder. I got it at release as I came down with Covid and beat it 100% that weekend. Excellent experience, I just wish it was longer.
