feels like the writers are actively working against the game. Every time I had fun with the game, I felt like it was despite the story and characters, not because of them. I’m sick of fucking condescending quirky dialogue filling AAA games now, it’s like watching the flanderization of an entire medium in real time. Just let me have fun with your god killing game! You can still be really fucking serious ™️ and sad ™️ in your story but at least fucking try to make your themes come together in a coherent way. The entire final act of this game hits with no impact at all, it all feels incredibly hollow. At least the combat is fun.

Critical acclaim in this medium used to mean something. A game like Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid 2 or Dark Souls would arrive and feel like they pushed the whole medium forward, now acclaim is easily banded out for any superficially impressive bore, such as The Last of Us and God of War: Ragnarok.
Or maybe I'm just a miserable jaded video game hater these days.
