out of all the games ive played, fuckin hell, even shows, movies and comics this has to be THE piece of media that has done the best job at relating, identifying and encapsulating who i am as a person. if i were to make a game that came from the bottom of my heart and my usual doodle crude art style, it would have to be this (not saying that im even capable of putting in the hard effort, witty writing and really solid level and game design into this). although celeste has some of the biggest trophies of mine; being not only the first game to make me cry but also the best indie ive played, lisa was at some point my favorite indie. but the reason its not anymore is because this game is stressful to think about (i mean that in a very good way). this has the award for being the first game to genuinely make me feel uncomfortable and mentally unable to power through. i have beaten this don't get me wrong, but theres a point where you have to kill someone, and mid battle the opponent tells you ''why are you doing this!?'' and i was like -fuck... i cant do this... so i waited until tomorrow to do it. even replaying the recent edition i felt it again. this game has emotional power, it is a fucked up work of art. out of all the games ive played this has my favorite depiction of humanity; for it has its quirks, but more often than not it is horrifying and unbelievable
