Had a blast at the Witcher 3 concert this weekend. Great music, enthusiastic audience and a lot of nostalgia for one of the best games ever!
Kudos to the musicians and everyone at CD Projekt Red for organizing this tour, another masterclass in keeping your community engaged! #thewitcherinconcert

23. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (PC)
A truly wild and unexpected campaign that breaks with the traditional CoD format in significant ways, focusing more on co-op gameplay than the usual tightly scripted linear setpieces.
I am also really enjoying the Endgame mode, while MP is solid as ever!

22. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted (PC)
A classic that is always worth replaying, now with a HD revamp (though not a fan of AI upscaling), some nice QoL additions like controller support (much appreciated for Steam Big Picture and Link), and a few new extra modes.

This calls for my best toga: Congratulations to everyone on the Anno 117 Team team on the hugely successful launch of #Anno117PaxRomana.
Some of the best and loveliest friends I ever had the honor of working with ❤️ Fun fact: my last Ubi meeting ever was the initial greenlight, can’t wait to play!🔥

21. Agatha Christie - Death on the Nile (PC)
Sadly felt like a step back compared to its predecessor (which I enjoyed quite a bit) in nearly every regard.

There are far too many to include here, either in text or pictures, and I am grateful for having met you all:
The Galway Community Crew, the Crytek friends, the Blizz eSports family, my best Ubisoft friends, my fellow Wizards, and now at Bethesda. You made it all worth it ❤️ 3/3 #gaming

But one thing has remained the same across all this time: by far the best thing about this industry are the people.
Not only did I have the chance to work with some of the most talented, lovely and passionate people in the biz, but many of them have become great friends. 2/3 #gaming

Time flies- believe it or not, today marks the 14th anniversary of starting my first gaming job at BioWare in Ireland.
It's been a crazy whirlwind of depressing lows, intoxicating highs, and everything in between, across 6 companies, 4 countries and dozens of launches! 1/3 #gaming

Super excited for the Halo: Combat Evolved Remake!
I wouldn't be where I am today (a few days from celebrating 14 years in the industry) without Halo and the massive impact it has had on me. ❤️
Can't wait to play this! Also, I will take any ever so thin excuse to post this pic! 😎 #HaloCE #Halo

20. Battlefield 6 (PC)
Classic military FPS campaign that offers all the usual story beats and set pieces you'd expect from CoD campaign + an annoying villain.
More importantly: as expected with DICE, the gunplay, graphics, performance and multiplayer are all top notch and highly impressive!

19. Battlefield 4 (PC)
It's been a while since I last played a Battlefield campaign, and this was a good way to get into the mood for BF6's campaign tomorrow!
Graphics have held up really well, with some great setpieces and fun gunplay (as always with DICE). Let's just ignore Irish's dialogue...

18. Avowed (PC/ Xbox Series X)
Further proof that Obsidian is one of the most consistent and reliable studios in the industry. Gorgeous world, very fun and flexible combat, surprising mobility for a rpg and very likeable companions with great VO.
Highly recommended!

17. Assassin's Creed Shadows: Claws of Awaji (PC/ Xbox Series X)
Very down to earth compared to many previous AC DLCs, and a nice continuation of Naoe's story from the main game.
Loved the atmosphere of Awaji and the systemic elements, but could have done without the lengthy boss fights.

15. Mafia: The Old Country (PC)
An extremely predictable, clichéd story expertly told thanks to impressive graphics, compelling characters and stellar voice acting- and all set in an impressively realized early 1900s Sicily. Highly recommended at the mid-tier price!

14. Sniper Elite Resistance (PC)
There is just a primal joy to stealthily killing or de-testiculating nazis that never gets old! While the dialogue is not great, the game feels like a perfect example of what AA gaming should be- nice graphics, decent length and a blast to play!
