And that explains it; never knew they were called that.

I've never understood this one.

Doki Doki literature club is very good. Don't read spoilers tho.

Maybe it's not your thing? IDK, I had a blast playing though those games (HalfLife 2 Episodes 1 & 2 as well,) they're actually still installed on my PC because I revisit them once a year or so. It's recommend giving it another spin if you can, there's a decent story in there.

You played Half Life 2; and part of the appreciation for it comes from how well it tells the story via showing without telling. There's no intro monologue which outright says "humanity is under the boot of alien invaders and Gordon Freeman is the only hope for humankind," instead you hear Dr. Breen welcoming you to City 17 over large screens, see everyone wearing plain blue jumpsuit, watch them get their food from a dispensary, see a massive creature accompany troops down the street.

The second reason that game is beloved is the source engine physics puzzles, which were revolutionary at the time.

Manga called Berserk. Fair warning, it's intense and highly adult themed.

Bullet wounds Goreg, who spends his free time insulting people with guns and is shot 10,000 a day, was an outlier and should not have been counted.
