The last game you completed, and rating.

Stalker 2 8/10

Being a fan of the older series. Atmospherically it was great, especially Pripyat. Some of the lower end weapons could do with re-balancing (AK-74 for example) AI is much better now, more smarter as they flank you when in cover. Overall the whole Zone is incredibly well recreated. Story is a little difficult to keep up with. Other than those great!
 
Atomfall 8/10

Very rarely complete games nowadays. Has plenty of flaws but just kept me interested and didn't drag on too long. The big negative was the last bit

Prey (2017). 10/10.

One of the best games I've played, for my tastes. This is an immersive sim and I think as such there are some who will love it and some who might not get it. The setting, story and lore are just stunning with a remarkable amount of real science blended into it. Really loved digging all of the little details out of terminals and voice recordings as a storytelling mechanism.

I initially found it quite challenging as I'm bad at any sort of stealth or generally difficult combat. But the game really rewards careful exploration and taking your time. One of those games that you start out underpowered and by the end you've completed most of the skill trees, upgraded everything and it's a lot more manageable.

Graphics were acceptable, though not exactly polished. Still I loved the overall aesthetic and especially views of space. It was really amazing going into true zero gravity and being free to float around without a sense of up or down. The sort of game that really suits a big screen for sure.

I plugged 85 hours in and saw all the endings in one session. There is a New Game Plus mode but I think I pretty much rinsed the game first time round. I'm not bothered about extra challenging runs like no upgrades, and no extra endings to unlock so I'll probably stop here. I really am tempted just to start again immediately though!

Highly recommended if you are into sci-fi and it definitely was an original experience, which not many games manage now.

Red Dead 1 - 7/10

Never played this back in the day as I've only ever had PCs. Really enjoyed it, especially on the Steam Deck but it's definitely a cut below the sequel. I can see why it was praised so much when it came out and it's aged fairly well.

£32 is a complete rip off though (and that was on sale).

I love this game. I really want a patch for the PS version so it would be 60 fps, but very unlikely to happen now apparently :(
