Jeremiah Johnson? Had to look this up by going through Robert Redford's back catalogue.

That's the one! Take it away, @CParsons !

It's not that. It's a very recent film and exclusive to a single streaming platform.

Alright, here we go!

Is it Byzantium?

The best expansion that comes to mind for me is Diablo 2's Lord of Destruction expansion. The added character classes, expanded skill trees, item revamps and additional act all improve upon the base game of Diablo 2 in meaningful ways. I know vanilla D2 has its stalwart defenders, but to me the...

I've been waiting for an announcement like this for years! Never did I imagine the overhaul would be this dramatic and yet so faithful. I'm happy to hear that console support is planned and that there will be cross-progression. I can see myself playing this on Switch on the go and then...

Almost all games I play these days outstay their welcome. Open world games in particular are guilty of this, often just padding the experience with side stuff you don't care much about but that you should probably be doing because you are missing out on a lot of upgrades and strength boosts...

Biggest one I can think of is the Sister Friede and Father Ariandel fight from Dark Souls 3's Ashes of Ariandel DLC. Up to that point, Dark Souls bosses throughout the series came in two flavours: either the fight is one single phase, or emptying a boss's health bar triggers a cutscene and a...

I still think it's a crying shame horror demo PT was taken down from the PlayStation store. The actual Silent Hills game it was supposed to tease got cancelled and that's a bummer, but PT was brief horror perfection. There are ways to play it in 2021, of course, but the delisting should've never...

I must confess I never much cared for games like Factorio or Satisfactory. The idea of automating a production process didn't appeal to me at all and screenshots of those games often showed an extremely cluttered playing field where everything is a jumbled mess and nothing seems to make sense...

@Frindis mentioned Escape From Tarkov, which I think is a pretty strong candidate for the title. The game tells you nothing about how it works, what you should be doing or where you should be going. If you manage to survive your first raid by some miracle, fending off players and AI scavs alike...

I hope they will be able to resist the temptation to base the game around Jedi again. That's been done, and often fairly well. Jedi: Fallen Order was as good a game about Jedi that's not an RPG we're likely to ever see. If it's the team behind The Division that's making this game, how about a...

If it doesn't have to be a PC game, I think either the original Super Mario Bros. or The Legend of Zelda would be excellent choices. My personal vote would go to Zelda because it so perfectly captured the spirit of adventure and player agency in a time where such things were practically unheard...

For me there were two games that I played more than anything else: Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Escape From Tarkov. I played an absolute metric ton of Modern Warfare online with my friends this year because I was in lockdown and didn't have much else to do. I used to love competitive shooters...
