Numbers 60-51! There's a lot of sequels or spiritual successors in this one. That's just how the list came to be, I have to say.
Link to part 1. Link to part 2. Link to part 3. Link to part 4. Link to part 6. Link to part 7. Link to part 8. Link to part 9. Link to part 10.
60. Left 4 Dead 2
Left 4 Dead 2 is the better of the two because all of L4D1 is in L4D2. And it's FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC to play with friends (or bots), just do a whole campaign with 3 of your friends shooting zombies, trying to get through to each safe house, getting picked up at the end, it's a great time.
59. XCOM: Enemy Unknown
The game that really got me into the X-COM/XCOM series. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is Firaxis's first take on the alien strategy game, and refines it so you get a nice streamlined experience, and repopularized the genre. Even with its sequel choosing to go with the bad end, the good end is fun to get to.
58. Theme Hospital
I love Theme Hospital more than Theme Park. I don't know why, the theme of health care can be very dry. But Theme Hospital makes it funny with Bloaty Head, King Complex, Hairyitis, and Invisibility illnesses. It's a little less hardcore than Theme Park, but that makes it better, in my opinion.
57. Two Point Hospital
Not to say that the formula couldn't be improved. Two Point Hospital is everything Theme Hospital is, but better. Better room design capabilities, better way of hiring staff, better training of staff, sillier illnesses, easier to get into, more experimentation with levels, just everything's better. I freaking love Two Point Hospital.
56. Two Point Campus
Not to say it couldn't be refined further. Two Point Campus replaced the health care theme with a university/college theme and adds the ability to build your own buildings instead of having pre-built plots to build within. The new theme allows them to go even zanier, and it's worth it to three-star each university. I love Two Point Campus.
55. The Sims 2
The Sims 2 is my favorite of the The Sims series, adding aspirations, wants, fears, and giving the game a great feel. Adding the life stages, and making Sims age was a great addition to the series, and it's all-in-all a better experience than The Sims 1.
54. Baldur's Gate 2
Baldur's Gate was a great RPG when it came out, but Baldur's Gate 2 was better. It had a great main villain, a compelling story, and a great group of characters that are memorable, especially Minsc and his miniature space hamster, Boo.
53. Borderlands 2
Yes, yes, I know, its humor can feel dated now, but Borderlands 2 is still a blast to play through if you get a group of friends together to do so. Handsome Jack is a fantastic villain, and the guns feel great to use. Well, maybe not Hyperion if you're concerned about accuracy. Anyway, the Vault Hunters all feel unique, and it's fun to play as any of them.
52. FlatOut 2
FlatOut 2 is a great racing game with stunts and realistic damage. Its AI isn't too bad either, I don't feel like they're rubberbanding when I race against them. The tracks are all distinct and feel good to race on. The stunt mode is also great, trying to fling your avatar into specific places.
51. Rise of the Triad
Ah, good ol' Rise of the Triad, the progenitor of Ludicrous Gibs. It's not bad, being built on a heavily-modified Wolfenstein 3D engine that allowed height. Its ridiculousness helped it stand out among the so-called “DOOM clones,” what with powerups and powerdowns such as God Mode, Dog Mode, Shrooms Mode, and Elasto Mode. Really looking forward to the Ludicrous Edition.
Part 6 is next!
Link to part 1. Link to part 2. Link to part 3. Link to part 4. Link to part 6. Link to part 7. Link to part 8. Link to part 9. Link to part 10.

The second video I made on Two Point Hospital.
My opinion on the game still stands, it’s still a dang lot of fun, especially if you can get it on sale.

I'm surprised there wasn't a lot of attempts to build the "Two Point" verse in any version of "The Sims".
I mean, there's a lot of distinct characters and events. At the same time, there's also a lot left to imagination. A perfect opportunity!

Two Point Campus Review - Ruining The Next Generation In Style
Two Point Campus Review – Ruining The Next Generation In Style
Two Point Campus is built on the very same foundations that the excellent Two Point Hospital was. In fact, it does feel a lot like Two Point Games slapped a new theme on their hospital management game and called it a day. That’s an oversimplification, of course – a lot of work has gone into Two Point Campus, it’s themes and a few new mechanics. But it’s important to temper your expectations going…

Hanging out and playing Two Point Hospital!
Kicking off the weekend with some low-key silliness tonight, playing Two Point Hospital and seeing how much trouble I can get into running a hospital full of claymation people. XD
Come say hi! :D

Goofy Games That Can't Help But Inspire a Chuckle or Two
Despite these hardships, there are still games that not only hit the target, but shatter it. Helldivers 2 is perhaps the most notorious example at the moment thanks to its commitment to the reality of its (utterly bonkers) universe, but thankfully, gamers looking for a good laugh need not rely on it entirely. Here are a few more good options for when one eventually wants to take a break from spreading Managed Democracy.
Check them out!

A Total Write Off | Weeknotes
I was so please to have finished up episode 40 of Permanently Moved last week. December was supposed to be dedicated to working on/finishing up personal projects and putting out some things I’m sick of seeing in my drafts. I wanted to clear the decks before Thailand in January.
But… on Monday I got sick.
The whole week was a total write off. The test said it wasn’t Covid, but it was old, and I…
