Overview
Description

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective follows Sissel, a spirit with the ability to possess objects and reverse time, as he uncovers his own murder and helps the living solve crimes. The game blends witty dialogue, quirky characters, and a supernatural mystery in a stylish, hand‑drawn world.

Skyrim is Bethesda’s landmark open-world RPG set in a Nordic fantasy province, known for its freeform exploration, dragon-shouting Dragonborn, and an enormous modding community that keeps it alive over a decade later.

Good but flawed

Picked up The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim recently. Upside: enormous freedom. Downside: bugs without mods.
