2022 - a year in review
Table of contents
Video games played
| Game | Rating | Note | Before Your Eyes (PC) | ★★★★☆ | Amazing experience, very moving. The idea of controlling with eye blinks is very novel. | Elden Ring (PS5) | ★★★★★ | Fantastic game, really enjoyed the almost 100 hour playtrough. The combat, visuals, story etc. come together really nicely, it is great. | TOEM (PC) | ★★★★☆ | A really cute game about taking pictures :) | Rogue Legacy 2 (PC) | ★★★☆☆ | The gameplay is pretty solid, but it starts to feel kind of dull quite fast. |

Movies and TV shows watched
| Movie | Rating | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Interstellar (2014) | ★★★★★ | Murph! |
| The Imitation Game (2014) | ★★★★★ | Fantastic movie. A little bittersweet due to the misrepresenation of some real life characters though. |
| The Batman (2022) | ★★★★☆ | Brilliantly made movie, but it is extremely grim. Feels a bit like playing power grid, is it really fun? |
| Moon Knight (2022) | ★★★★☆ | Very well made, moving character lines. The inclusion of the Egyptian gods is pretty cool too. Something about it felt slightly off, but it is good. |
| Only Murders in the Building (2021) | ★★★★☆ | Actually really good! Some of the humour is a bit off I think, but overall a great mix of real suspense and genuinely good comedy. |
Books read
| Book | Rating | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Sparkling Cyanide - Christie (1944) | ★★★★☆ | A thrilling read, everyone has motives. Probably not the most interesting of Christie's works, but a very strong one. |
| The Spike - Humphries (2021) | ★★★★☆ | A very solid account of how spikes are formed and what they enable, with well placed humour so that you are not just reading a text book. |
