I rarely give anything the gravitas like this but. This. Is a most-play videogame. Only if, you can forgive the sub-par combat, and get far enough for the story to truly extend its wings, and then you will be enveloped by its grandiose nature.
Unless you might just find it incredibly pretentious.
Anyway. How the hell do you rate this?!

Nice satisfying click clacks when filling in the board. Music is also nice, but loops way too quickly, to the point of me actually kinda loathing it now.
It's missing a pretty essential feature like graying out the numbers at the edges when you're playing. I was stumbling real bad the first couple of hours, but eventually learned to adapt.
The lives system i find is slightly ruining the fun of actually solving the boards, because you can cheat by wasting one whenever you're particularly stuck.
Also this just might be my terribly shaky hands, but the fact that you can't just hold left click, and let it only clear the strait line without swerving elsewhere. Is slightly aggravating.
(Well, end of this overly long rant about picross of all things)

I've been informed that there actually IS a feature to "draw" a strait line, but it's of course already too late sadly. But now i know.

It was quite fun, but also very much a time waster like almost every other AAA open world games. But yeah, eventually like 15 some such hours into the game, Horizon crashed my ps4 so hard, it killed its own savefile, alongside literally everything else on the system. Requiring a full factory reset. So yeah, never touching this again.
Game is good. But was obviously on a serious deadline to release alongside Riot's other stupidly enormous amount of "Riot X Arcane" content. Game is good. But maybe do wait a couple of months for proper bug and balance fixes, before giving it a shot. The composer is also composer for the Ori games, so yeah.
