2nd time completing Part I, 4th time completing the story of this game.
This time I found the opening 3-4 hours incredibly strong, in a way i've never seen them as before. At one point I even started to ponder if maybe Part I is actually better than Part II. Having completed it, though, Part II is, in plain terms, just a far more ambitious, far more complex and, ultimately, far more impressive achievement.
Still, the original has a ridiculously confident vision behind it and equally gobsmacking execution of that vision. A heartwrenching journey that is 100% the 2nd best game ever, behind it's own continuation. God, what a miracle it is to have these 2 incredible games all for myself until I'm dead and gone.

Red Dead Redemption is what happens when technology and vision collide too early. Red Dead Redemption 2023 on PS5 is a redemption story to that.
My 4th time rolling the credits on this bad boy and it still has a punch and staying power to it that I can only hope RDR II will be able to sustain through the years.

Strange and unique experience of being inside a world that wants to swallow you whole... wait a sec, that, kinda, is life, huh?
Though mechanically unburdened and graphically simple, Albino Lullaby is very original and striking with it's tone and storytelling. Genuinely creeped the heck out of me while retaining a quality of wonder and intrigue that keeps you going forward. If a game can be charmingly scary, it's this.
Very much looking forward to EP.2 when it finally sees the light of day (unlike the protagonist, I assume).

An okay beat em up that tells a nonsensical (nonexistent?) story with one of the most perplexing endings I can remember. Enemy variety is lacking, gets repetitive pretty quickly, but smart enough not to overstay it's welcome too much. The core fighting mechanics are solid and for the first 5-10 mins you'll even think this is a hidden gem. It's not.

Very nice of this game to almost immediately present you with a vertical slice of its featureless image. I was able to immediately recognise its blandness both as a sequel to a once great series and a game of its own. Points for honesty, though I don't rate this since I've abandoned it. So, no points at all, sorry Far Cry 5.
