Going to add some scoring on here as we're heading into the end of the year...
Starfield -
Its an okay game, but nothing really stands out to me. Basically an average Bethesda experience set in space. Gameplay loop is as you'd expect with character progression and interation(s) go but doesn't really push the boundies. Whether its from the development side of things and/or Creation engine being what it is. Plus with everything else.. with its nonseniscal and uninteresting wooden and characterless.. characters and story. And the lack of proper exploration and frankly, not-so-interesting world. It feels like a massively missed opportunity. 6.5/10 - fun in bursts but largely forgettable.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (all endings) -
Didn't expect CDPR to pull it off but this DLC manages to maybe outdo the origional in storytelling. Not too long, but with multiple choices and endings there's some replayability found here and like. Love the new characters and new branching stories within. Side quests are pretty great and some unexpected shenanigans thown in for good measure. Then there's improvements with 2.0 patch.. with new skill trees, reworked and tweaked gameplay with new systems like police and vehicle combat. Blasting around and diving into Night City/Dog town has never been more fun to explore, and play around in. 9.25/10 - spectacular, with complex and amazing characters and harrowing story. Visuals, music too and some truely unforgettable moments.
