Norco
2022
The word 'enjoy' wouldn't be the right one to use for my time in the living, breathing world of Norco, but it's a setting unlike any I've experienced before in a game. An excellent narrative wrapped up in a grimy art style that felt sweaty and nervous. I could have done without the combat bits, but otherwise this is amongst the best visual novels I've played.
i get it now.
Half-Life 2
2004
Look at this SJW soyboy they put on the cover lmao

You don’t get the vision
Tried to give this game another chance since I felt maybe I was too hard on it but no, it’s even worse. It is glitchy to the point of being unplayable with Link being barely controllable, areas not loading correctly, and a statue from later in the game randomly showing up everywhere and blocking the way. Appalled at Nintendo for releasing a game in this state.
Disco Elysium
2019
Playing Disco Elysium for the first time. This is like… literature or something. I like it.

I'm not going to give this a star review. There's nothing to judge as far as gameplay seeing that it is a visual novel - even some of the few choices you can make still end in the result of
"Say yes or no"
select yes
"I couldn't say yes. I said no anyway."
Which, in any other kind of game would annoy me to hell and back. Don't give me a fake choice if the character doesn't listen.
But in a game like this, rather in a story like this, choices didn't seem to really exist. Our main character was left to believe that they didn't have any real choices.
This is a sad story. I can't say I recommend this game on any merit other than - knowing people's stories can help you be more aware of what others go through in life.

Immortality

No game has made me feel more insecure about my media literacy than Immortality

It's kind of like playing Submachine 3 (2006) except your mouse cursor is an anime lady.
