The open world nonsense is pretty fun, but it's actively hampered by a godawful story that feels like an imposition more than anything else. You can hang out with a bear and pet a large kitty tho so it's not entirely without value.

I've had a lot of good times in Destiny. Overall, it's still a fun game! I just can't do it anymore, though. This game asks so much of your time just to stay on top of everything that I'm utterly burned out on it.

It's weird to use this word in the context of a game set on an abandoned space station, but this game is cozy. You're just wandering around this space, learning about people who live there and their relationships to each other, and slowly unraveling this mystery that they're caught up in. Excellently constructed.

I love the hell out of this game. Just slowly unraveling what happened as this journey just totally went to hell is so compelling and it's so wonderful to look at and geez it's just good, ok?

This is nominally A Better Fallout Game compared to Fallout 3, and it would be as enjoyable if the story just got the hell out of my face. You don't know me Todd Howard, don't pretend like you do, I don't care about this kid, let me live my gay life out here on the wasteland

Look, maybe this game doesn't play the best. Maybe the strategy parts are poorly thought out. Maybe the plot feels like a full third of it was ripped out and not replaced with anything. But this game has SUCH A VIBE and it resonates perfectly with me. Love it

My survival game of choice, I think. Cold, quiet isolation punctuated by sharp bursts of oh god oh shit my leg oh i'm so fucked

Absolutely love this game. Remember getting it one Christmas Eve and staying up all night to play through the first four cases.

Best music game of all time
