An absolute classic that holds up near perfectly over twenty years later, but if you're reading this you probably already know and agree.

So for fun gonna list some of my favorite Sam Lakeisms from this playthrough

"The cops arrived, sirens singing in the off-key harmony of a manic-depressive choir."

"Everything was subjective. There were only personal apocalypses. Nothing was cliché when it's happening to you."

"He had a baseball bat, and I was tied to a chair. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."

"An urban legend come true. You complete the jigsaw puzzle to discover it is a picture of yourself, finishing that same puzzle. A mad, green-eyed killer behind you."

"When the darkness fell, New York City became something else, any old Sinatra song notwithstanding. Bad things happened in the night, on the streets of that other city. Noir York City."

i'm a sucker for games that force you to make insanely stressful choices where it's impossible to please everybody (see also: Papers Please), and Yes, Your Grace is a magnificent example.

I was shocked at how legit invested I got into the story. The king's interactions with his family are heartfelt, i legit burst into tears from a few plot points.

If i have any major compliant, it's that some choices rely too much on guesswork without it being clear what the outcome will be. Sometimes it felt like I was just picking shit at random and crossing my fingers for the best, which lead to some negative outcomes being more frustrating than anything.

But, overall would highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys games with meaningful choices.
