As a challenge for the rest of the year, i've decided to only coonsoom videogames that are supposedly really good. The first stop is 13 sentinels, a game I barely seen anything negative about and kids in the block wouldn't stop calling it "peak medium".

If you like sci-fi, you got a lot here. It pulls pretty much every trope that you could think of, and while it's cool to see a lot of these references, it gets kind of overwhelming and I wish it went for something a little more unique.

I didn't really care for the tower defense part of the game, it was alright and doesn't require a lot of strategy, funny how most maps completely shit on the framerate. I think the most fun I had with the game was trying to piece everything together chronologically and uncovering the plot, despite the destination, well.. not being really that satisfying, the journey to get there was really fun to discover and it made me finish the game in less than a week. I also really liked most of the cast, shoutout to Takatoshi and Miura.

I'll probably appreciate it more on retrospective, would I recommend it to someone? Sure, if they like visual novels, it's probably the prettiest one ive seen.
