Thinking back, I don't know if I've ever played a funnier game. The first playthough genuinely made me laugh out loud a good amount. The gameplay is rock solid as well, learning to break the hell out of it is super fun too, watch a speedrun if you haven't

A real sleeper hit for me. At first everything feels way stronger than you, then you learn to use your tools and suddenly you're dominating. Really makes you feel like you're getting stronger

Extremely long game, but it never really drags. I was engaged all the way to the end and then some.

Something about this game scratches an itch. I cannot explain it any more than that. You gotta be doing something else while you're playing though

The game's a little crusty, but getting past that the gameplay loop is quite fun. The randomized loot was always fun to find and felt powerful enough to redefine a build

This game marked a transition for Bethesda as a studio, and it's clear that they were still experiencing some growing pains

This is the perfect game to play while you're listening to a podcast. The relatively brainless gameplay segments allow you to relax between the surprisingly deep character creation.

I was never as into this game as others seemed to be. I always felt like I couldn't figure out the next thing to do.

Every other factory builder is pretty much just a pale imitation of factorio, and not even really because of the amount of content or gameplay. The thing that really sets factorio apart is the user experience. In the late game, factory builders can start to feel more like microsoft excel than a video game, and so you naturally start to want those kinds of features. Factorio has literally every convenience feature you could possibly want.

Tons of content, multiplayer is fun, I can't give this anything higher than an 8 because I personally don't enjoy the combat too much and how much boss fights rely on preparation of an arena, I find that to be boring

I will never forget experiencing these stories for the first time. Incredibly well-written for a video game, best writing in any bethesda fallout by far (perhaps because it was not written by bethesda).

I remember when this game came out, I was thinking to myself "no way this is better than BTD5", and then I played it and it blew my expectations out of the water. This is currently the definitive bloons game and arguably the definitive tower defense.

The definitive roguelike deckbuilder, the very definition of easy-to-learn, hard-to-master. This game set a standard that is still being followed to this day. Even if you think you know all the strategy of this game, you probably don't and should go play 100 more hours about it

Not the worst elder scrolls game but far from the best, by this point Bethesda had lost the plot on what makes for good storytelling in an elder scrolls game. There is, of course, fun to be had, I personally found stealth melee to be extremely fun and played through basically the entire game that way. I give this a 3/5 because many mechanics (horses, magic, transformations, etc.) are very undercooked and rendered almost unusable.

I think this is one of the most overhated bethesda games. The gameplay's great, the world is cool, and the map is giant. What more could you ask for
