Bio
I seek out narratively, aesthetically and mechanically interesting games, but also anything else. I use a series of wheels to decide what to play per session.
slowly migrating from gg, so dates may be weird with reviews and lists.
I review when I've finished the game to the point of my satisfaction, and they're more collections of thoughts than proper reviews mostly.
Platforms I play on: PC/Steam Deck, Index, Quest 2, Switch, Ps5 and Playdate.

Excellent presentation, impeccable art and especially animation, a pretty good soundtrack(that should have had more licensed music or been all original songs) that fits well with the game in a variety of adjacent styles, some interesting setpieces in a relatively believable world and some memorable characters that deliver some great lines well. There's some more cringey dialogue in the game that felt hackneyed at times, but that's the only main flaw that I can pick out as I played. The story itself was compelling enough though, and it showed it's influences unabashedly. Best game Bethesda's published in years. The most intriguing, clever and successful implementation of rhythm gameplay I think I've seen, save for something like rock band. And the hack and slash element feels like a streamlined dmc, just as fun to play.
