Inspired by the linked XKCD. Using 60% instead of 50% because that's an easy filter to apply on rottentomatoes.

I'll go first: I think "Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows" was awesome, from the plot to the characters ,and especially how they used screen-play to highlight how Sherlocks head works in these absurd ways.

Jurassic World Dominion. The original Jurassic Park is probably my favorite movie of all time, and I know that people hate the remakes. But they were so much fun to me. I love dinosaurs. Sue me.

If you love dinosaurs, you'll hate Dominion. That's all I'm going to say about that...

On the borderline nonexistent chance that Ark isn't already on your radar, this game was made for... specifically YOU.

Newer content is pretty sci-fi heavy, but the original maps are all about the dinos.

Hey thanks for the recommendation! Unfortunately my computer is too janky to handle anything made after around 2012, so I'm a bit limited in what I can play. Honestly probably for the best while I'm in school...

But when I graduate and have some form of income, I will definitely check it out cause it looks awesome! Thanks for the recommendation bud!

Definitely a good call to wait until you have a decent rig... its optimization is NOT one of its selling points lol.

But if you've got a machine that can handle its clusterfuck of code, it's an absolutely gorgeous game -- here's a good short showcase of some of its scenery / critters:

Good luck with school! I'm doing the whole full-time-work + part time college thing right now too, so I definitely appreciate the time management clusterfuck... and Ark is one of the games that can absolutely MURDER your free time (no shit, I have over 6k hours logged). Keep it bookmarked in your brain though, or wishlist it and pick it up when it goes on some insane sale.

Jurassic World I enjoyed. Dominion I thought was a waste of time

Whoops, I meant Fallen Kingdom. The one with the raptor loose in the mansion, loots of fun! Haven't seen Dominion.
