In a sad 80s song mood right now. Hmmm....I could train to this song.

Samurai Showdown (2019). This is the GOTY best fighting game for me! SamSho is not about laying multiple combos, but knowing when to strike and land successful blows. I love how you have three different type of supers, a dodge, a parry, and catching a sword barehanded, if you're unarmed (a staple for the series). There is a deep risk/reward system with the combat. It's the first in a long time, that I will dedicate a lot of my time to a fighting game. Most fighting games I don't touch anymore, due to time or lack of interests. I am blessed to have SamSho back, and that is how you do a reboot right. Samurai Showdown is the 100% authentic sushi restaurant you go to and order more.

The Takeover. I've already beaten normal and hard mode. The difference being enemies are faster, more aggressive, and you can't use stage select. A great Streets of Rage style brawler. This will tide me over until Streets of Rage 4 comes out.

@dipset The only thing dated about Bioshock is Infinite, since it's simplified even further and removes whatever complexities the other prequels had. The only reason Bioshock 1 feels dated is because, so many games during the 7th generation copied it. Yet Bioshock was spiritual successor to System Shock (as was Dead Sapce and many others afterward). In reality, many of the game copying Bioshock, was copying System Shock and Half Life 1 & 2.

@el-shmiablo Can't blame them for why. I bought this game for me, and to support Respawn. I don't want to see them die.

@shoulderguy That was fast!

@mbun I can get used to it.

I got my copy early. Will install tonight, and play tomorrow after work.

Despite the hating the reboot's story and gameplay (vanilla version anyway), the soundtrack is kick ass. Though I feel most of the songs wouldn't fit in the original series.
