D
by all reasonable metrics, D is a very, very bad game. it's maybe the single most sluggish adventure game i've ever played, very little happens for most of it, and the gameplay really really sucks. but I can't help but see something here--it's got such a strong vibe and atmosphere that blows so much from the time period out of the water. such a weird thing and really nothing like it. even if you do spend a good third of the game just spinning one wheel and turning around over and over again.

Manifold Garden
as a presentational piece taken on its own? it's really good, great visuals, great music, very cool.
the catch here is that you have to play the actual game, which is way, way too easy and trivial, and never really gets any more difficult than the first couple puzzles in portal and antichamber. you know, the ones where you're just being taught how to press a button or put a cube on a pressure plate. at least half of the time spent in this game is walking through hallways, pressing buttons, or grabbing cubes off of trees and putting them in their color-designated receptacle, all of which are more tasks of persistence than of being able to solve anything.
begins to approach some interesting puzzle concepts once or twice in that last stage, but it never really gets there. shame, since it looks and sounds so good

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin
its still dark souls which means its a good game but somehow juxtaposing it against the other games in the series makes it start off as an infuriating experience where everything just feels kinda wrong. after playing it for a while though i started to get into it more and im willing to say its a decent game, just doesn't really feel like it holds up to the first game
