It's a testament to how endlessly expressive the combat system felt to me that I dedicated hours upon hours to creating absolutely meaningless original questlines for this game.
The definitive Dissidia experience.

A thousand guns in the tank, scrapped away in a blink.
An artistical promise that still leaves me wondering what could have been.
The violence of its politics makes it a difficult object to love - and dismiss.

Starbound with no direction.

Two impulses battle it out at the core of Marginalia ; lust for mystery and performative death-drive. You know the beast won't jump out of the shadows yet you dread it nonetheless, you expect a face to manifest itself far in the distance because what else could this panoptic audio landscape summon forth ?
It's impossible to avert your gaze. That's what Connor Sherlock's games are all about : Craving for the end to come whilst wishing to fade inside the screen.

The best Destiny has ever been according to some - who knows ? - and yet still such a small thing, despite Riven, despite the Dreaming City, despite Trust being one of my favorite revolver in any game.
There's a perk called Dragonfly that allows every headshot kill to summon an explosion out of your adversary's corpse. It's the best thing this game has ever done, and that's it.
Destiny is sweet, sugar-coated doom.

Carrion is spineless.

Urgh.

It is pretty good, yes.
