Life is Strange: True Colors is somehow a character-driven game where the characters are entirely one dimensional, defined by their interests or quirks but without flaws or desires or conflicts. It feels like a response to every piece of praise and criticism for the previous mainline games, and having liked both those games, that response feels condescending.

The power of the Pathfinder series that all the ratings (so far) are positive, accompanied by written reviews about how unpleasant the game currently is to actually play. I was relieved when credits rolled - I also know I'll inevitably play it again.

I'm fond of jank - it usually speaks to a level of curiosity and ambition in the design if it doesn't run smoothly. Empire of Sin is a strategy game where you run around taking over Chicago, but it really wants you to invest in the characters, in each character, in your underlings, who have lovers and personality traits and revenge quests and who are shaped by your actions. I was fond! But I could not overcome the bugs, which would stall the xcom-style combat at random points and force you to quit and restart.
