super laggy & rubber banding all over the place, tried multiple fixes/different hosts and nothing worked
2008
one of the most pointless games ever created, adds nothing to the story of the other penumbra games. also, its a puzzle game, and has nothing scary about it other than the atmosphere/environmental stuff. not sure why this game exists as the last entry in an otherwise good horror series
i remember this game being very cool when i played it long ago, but i tried it again a few years ago and it was very buggy and i couldnt find a way to fix it
2016
very short, and im not very picky about graphics but this is a type of game where character designs are a focal point, and i greatly prefer the art in huniepop
2006
played a lot of this in middle school. has as many genuinely good games as it has bad ones. decent time killer and fun to play with friends for laughs but never playing it again because the company is awful
1993
a first person shooter in purest form. decades ahead of its time on release and sometimes i think we still havent caught up with it
(thoughts on this and the answer arcs) my favorite story, piece of fiction, piece of media, whatever you might label it. genuinely changed my mindset and outlook for the better. it's a story about the importance of narrative as it relates to ones' life, and the value in trying to understand others' stories rather than only seeing the world as it appears in one's own view, among many other things like love, generational trauma, and moving on. as someone who used to be super judgmental and only project my view onto everyone else, this had messages that i really needed to hear. the plot and the stakes spiral infinitely upwards in epicness and scope starting in episode 2. i never in ten million years would have guessed some of the insane, unimaginable directions things would've gone if you had only showed me episode 1. characters are impeccable and given tons of time to develop and grow. i sunk 200 hours into this and the answer arcs and finished the whole thing in one month. the writing is bloated and repetitive at times, yes, and a few arcs can drag on longer than necessary, but there's so much to love that i can easily overlook these flaws
2011
in terms of the ratio of price to hours of potential playtime, this is probably the best game ever made, barring free to play games of course
2019
the most engaging puzzles/riddles ive ever seen in a game. solutions are very clever but not unfair. exploring the planets and their ruins and stumbling on all kinds of crazy shit is a great time, and unraveling the mystery one step at a time so you can piece together the bigger picture is incredibly satisfying. the environment design is also amazing and the concepts in the later portions of the game are so cool and interesting, cant elaborate because of spoilers. if i could ever play a game for the first time again itd be this one. the dlc is just okay though ngl, exploring the setting was cool but it felt like a lot of running around doing busy work for very little reward
2020
if you go for the optimal builds you'll basically win every time even on the highest difficulties, but that's about my only complaint. very fun, great design choices, replayability is high because of the character and build variety
i get it it's skyrim and it's objectively doodoo but i have massive nostalgia goggles and i will continue to wear them
2011
vanilla minecraft does in fact get stale after the first 50ish hours, and mods help but can tend to be overwhelming. but somehow it finds a way onto my computer once every year or so to boot it back up for some minecraft with the squad. it's a game that never leaves, and i do genuinely love it even if it doesn't go as hard as it did in middle school
2012
made for 12 year olds who watch creepypasta youtubers (definitely not me when i was 12)
everyone feels stupidly broken in their own way and there's not nearly enough startup or end lag on attacks in general. kinda a mashing simulator im not gonna lie
2012
i've given this game a try twice now and twice have i realized that after several hours the gameplay loop does not have any variety and it becomes extremely repetitive as a result
