Not a big Metroidvania fan but this was pretty good

Every hour this game throws an insane action set piece at you and honestly I think that's awesome

Enjoyable the first time and the setting is definitely the highlight, but Jesus Christ please let us skip cutscenes Rockstar. Also the ending was pretty disappointing

Was on the backlog for like 2 years. Not a big fan of Metroidvanias but pretty alright

On the backlog for 4 whole years. while I enjoyed it, I still feel like I'm missing the appeal. Might go back once Silksong releases (aka the Heat Death of the Universe)

Portal if its puzzles were designed by the narrator from The Stanley Parable

2016

Decided I wanted to play the series in order despite Automata being the more acclaimed one. Bad decision because I found this game very slow and not sure if I like it.

The amount of trauma videogame characters called Isaac go through is insane

Objectively this game is amazing in all aspects, but from a personal perspective dear god this is the most frustrating game I've ever played. I had to use a stress ball to get through some parts because they were so hard.

Was not expecting to like this as much as I did. A definite classic.

The ME3 DLC where everyone worships Shepard while we chase an cartoonishly evil clone was not on my bingo card for this franchise.

so good I went back to my non-MCC copy to get the Legendary achievement

Favourite multiplayer which is a bit of a controversial take, but it was the one I've played the most since I could put my custom spartan in the campaign.
