I was so into it until the last bit. Uninspired and tactless end to the central mystery, and I hate hate hate the ending. The problems with the dialog and slang are overstated, but the ending sucks.

I bought it for 3 dollars and played it for weeks

Hit block

Lightning in a bottle. All of the themes and gameplay in this game is cohesive, all of the mechanics play off themselves to serve a greater tone and narrative. When FromSoft was okay sacrificing what was fun for what built atmosphere

One of the best character action games ever. Genuinely had no right to be this good.

The game has a spell on thousands upon thousands of people, ready to go apeshit at the slightest notion of a PC port happening one day at all

Best Kojima

One of the best of 2021, exceeds the original Psychonauts in every way. Compelling, emotional, and a joy to look at.

We'll feel the effects of this one forever.

The only bad thing about this game is that if you play it first, it sets an impossibly high standard for the entire Yakuza series.

I played with the speakers on and my partner asked me why no one in this game ever shuts up

It just keeps surprising you. The mechanics are all right, but the atmosphere of Inscryption is everything.

I'm not sure how this feels to play in 2022, as it's hard to separate out the feelings that this game gave me as a preteen in the early 2000s. My only criticism is that some of the performances are rough or stilted.

The 2nd most serious Devil May Cry game also means it's probably the second least interesting.

I still can never get the stupid batting minigame consistently
