Saya no Uta
2003
I'm not sure if I could trust anyone that actually likes this visual novel if I'm being real. I honestly only played this because I had "Saya's Song" stuck in my head for like a week and thought to myself at 1 AM today to finally give the stupid VN a go (knowing I wasn't going to like it). Anyways I did manage to play it through in like 3 sittings since it was short but Jesus Christ was it actually awful. I also got every ending so before any dudebro with nonce particles inside them gets rowdy thinking I only got one ending or something, CALM DOWN.
I liked certain concepts of the game such as Saya being a sort of "idol" to Fuminori, but I genuinely wished the game didn't try cramming down stupid unnecessary sex scenes down our throats like "heh... isn't this EVIL and DARKSIDED? take a glimpse at Urobuchi's DARK and TWISTED mind... heh". Like great, thanks Urobuchi I don't like you. Everyone and their grandma is like nnooo nooo these sexual scenes are supposed to cement how far gone Fuminori is and how he's losing his humanity and like it's to show how he and Saya are the only lonely people in each other's worlds and- BLAH BLAH BLAH I DONT CARE. IT SUCKS. If I'm being real the sex scenes with Fuminori feel like an excuse for men to find a way to feel aroused during these scenes because clearly they were trying to hit some sort of erotic points for the reader. There are so many things that could have been done better to still prove that Fuminori is a horrible human being without it resorting to sex. I had to keep skipping the h scenes and their dialogue because why would any sane person want to see a grown ass man doing all of that to someone who looks like a ten year old. If I had a nickel for how many times I saw the word manhood as a replacement for the word penis I'd have enough money to fly to Japan and drop an anvil on Urobuchi's head.
Anyways, I just don't appreciate how pessimistic and misanthropic this visual novel is, and I guess I'm glad I finally played through this myself so I can mentally throw rocks and strike people with psychic beams anytime I see someone praise this horrendous piece of slop.

Pretty fun game. Starting off with Far Cry in order to get to play every game in the Far Cry Series, and even though Im playing this 20 years from when it was released, I can tell it was pretty exceptional as a game to begin with.
The story was kinda funny, and for a fair amount of time I was confused what was happening since the game didnt really give a proper explanation but it sort of got a little better at explaining why the events occured which was kinda nice.
The graphics were pretty decent for a 2004 game, and I liked the soundtrack really cemented the feeling of traversing the jungle being chased by enemies.
As someone whos not much of a shooter, I feel like the controls were pretty nice in actually getting me used to them., although the vehicular controls were really horrible so I was really glad to avoid any usage of that movement.
The game slightly got repetitive by the end. Traversing through various forms of similar landscapes, shoot bad guy, reach x place, etc, but overall the game was short enough to not be dreary. There was supposedly a way to play this with stealth but Im not entirely sure how possible that would have been, would I to ever replay this, it would be to experience that.
Overall a fun game that was probably a game changer back then, and definitely worth playing and the time investment.
