Respawn set the record straight with the fast yet accessible movement in this game. This is basically a scifi military buddy cop movie with a some of the cleanest examples of first person platforming and unique game mechanics. Also why does nobody pitch this game with the hacking knife. Name a funnier tool in a cyberpunk medium.

Pretty good game, but I completely missed the opportunity for the passive playthrough. Ive heard so much discourse about this particular style of playthrough, that I feel like I missed the real game. Maybe I'll watch a let's play of that run, but I got a little oversold.

In spite of the sheer size of the ensemble for the major and minor figures of Greek mythology, Darren Korb has managed to wrangle one of the most compelling voice acting collections of all time.
The overall presentation of this game just drips with a nectarine sheen that never lets up. On top of some of the most balanced gameplay of an action-roguelite I've ever played, the personal journey of Zagreus humanizes the Greek gods in a way I haven't seen done before. Supergiant even wraps the story around the run-based mechanics more naturally than any game before and hopefully it wont be last.

With gameplay and progression this shallow, I've found myself doing multiple playthroughs because the map is so fun to wander around in. The one true procrastination rpg that you don't know why you're playing.

still the best first person Fallout game. Plenty of absurd quests and tolerable companions. surprisingly blooming for a desert world. dlcs can get a little heavy handed, but its a fun time all around.

So far the only Final Fantasy title that I actually finished on a good note. The grimy industry feel to the whole game just makes you want to seize the day and do the job nobody expects you to. I dont usually follow guides for games anymore (with the exception of adventure games), but i wish i followed a guide for this game because i missed two entire characters and questline.

What a refreshing aesthetic for Fromsoft to explore. Love the gothic architecture and enemies. Would love to have a little bit more weapon variety, but thats my only complaint. I'd also think about replaying this if a pc port was ever announced. Just even for more stable frame rates.

Pretty solid followup all things considered. Glados really had some heavy lore within the company. Tragic, really. Would Valve want to revisit this series? Hardly any current valve singleplayer experiences (not counting alyx since it has the hardware barrier).

Pretty much breathtaking on most aspects. I never ended up playing the dlc for some reason. Someday.

honestly could do this with less combat, but overall couldnt ask for a better introduction to the yakuza series. if you approach it like a action-rpg, you're gonna have a good time. not the greatest pc port tho.
It would be the perfect zelda game if only it had more substantial dungeons and more distinctive boss battles. Great world feel.

super buggy but a great journey. also as far as timelines go, this is basically a visual novel disguised as a character action game.
