Spent an hour with the game, saw that it was 100 hours to beat on How Long To Beat and that it’s built for multiplayer. Nice concept, but not enough to keep me hooked.

After many, many years of not completing this game, I finally took the time to finish it tonight. The payoff was worth it.

Though the mechanics are fairly simple, the concept, story and the comedy in it is truly nuts and should be appreciated for it's uniqueness. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone since it's so damned unique that I honestly don't think most modern gamers would enjoy it.

Finished the game tonight and man.... there are no words to express how powerful the connection between Kratos and Atreus is and has become over the arc of the game. The 'closure' and 'exposure' at the end of the game with the foreshadowing of Ragnarok is something I'm definitely looking forward to, but want to save it for when I get to it.

After 38 hours, I finally rolled credits on this game and was completely stunned with the Mach-1 speed of the story in the last 2 chapters. The final chapter, boss battle, music and impressive length cinematic that tied up all of the narrative loose ends (because damn there are a lot of character arks) was highly enjoyable, though I cheese'd the game a bit by using weapons and having such high attack/heat stats against the final boss.

All in all, it was an amazing time and no time wasted whatsoever. Anyone who enjoyed Yazuka 0 and Yakuza Kiwami 1 will enjoy this for all of the unique aspects that the series provides.

Finally finished the game tonight and I’m physically and emotionally drained. The story is outstanding and left me without words. The jumping challenges were some of the hardest I’ve ever seen. I’m happy to report I completed the entire game with Assist Mode off - I only died 910 times in total. :)

Finally, after another 30 minutes and 2 hours+ yesterday, I completed the game. Phew!

Finished the final chapter solo tonight; this is an excellent local-coop party game that I’ll pull out for the occasional party I throw. Game feels like the games of old and I really enjoyed it.

Finished with the "Real Estate Royale" mini game and unlocked the [REDACTED] - MAN OH MAN was that fun to dump money into. Finished the story and... seeing where Kiryu and Majima come from in context from Yakuza Kiwami 1 adds so much more context - highly recommend anyone interested in the mainline series should start with Yakuza 0 specifically for the backstory.

Finished the main story tonight, it ended better than I thought it would. Nice, quick enjoyable campaign for a fighting game - really love NetherRealm's quality. :)

Whoa. That fucking ending. Wish I hadn't decided to leave the machine gun in the box though. Glad that my first RE experience was this game - really enjoyed it.

Finished Chapter 4 and 5 - gotta say that the game was just 'tight' enough to stay fresh throughout the game while being short enough to not outstay its welcome. Would recommend for horror fans looking for a quick thing to try.

Played this game during Extra Life 2022; it’s more Jackbox, and that’s a good thing. That said, the games are starting to get a little bit too complex for my taste. Gone are the days of “Quiplash”, my friends.

Played this game during Extra Life 2022 for a friend and mine’s annual tournament; this felt more ‘solid’ than previous entries, though I personally couldn’t tell any direct upgrades to the game. All in all, if you’ve played one, you’ve played them all.

Tried this game for the first time; I got about 10 minutes into the beginning and mentally freaked myself out to the point to where I was scared to move. Also, fuck subways.
