If battle royale games were a thing I cared for, I would play a lot more of this

2019

A highly intelligent VN that got me thinking about my perspectives on tech, AI, mental health, and what it truly means to be content. The solitaire minigame was weirdly addicting as well.

A story of failure, dashed hopes, murder and retrograde amnesia, Disco Elysium is the greatest rpg I think I've ever played. You absolutely owe it to yourself to experience this genre defining work of art.

Exactly the game that would've driven me crazy as a child

I don't have a problem, I can stop whenever I want, thank you very much

Could theoretically be really good in a few months, assuming it's still active. When you're in the middle of teamfights and everyone's letting abilities fly, it's fun, but we've still got a ways to go before everyone figures out how all the characters work. A few more modes wouldn't hurt either.

I've ultimately put 25 hours into this visual novel, and it was totally worth it. I've never played a VN that was this stellar of a sensory experience. Even when there were times I couldn't exactly follow the writing, the music and atmosphere would always propel me forward.

This game often felt deliberately BS and a slog, but it seemed fair considering the heavy presence of death and apocalypse in the narrative. And I was still compelled to trudge through, every step of the way.

Just thinking about the ending gets my heart pounding

The camera is rough, and the lack of a true lock on is frustrating, but if you're needing a rock solid "AA" action rpg that's really funny and lets you stick it to those awful humans, then you gotta play this.

Fuck Port Clovis, fuck the people who are turning the ocean into a wasteland, fuck gated communities for wealthy boomers that are all doomed to sink, fuck golf!

Bugg is really cute, they probably deserve a better game

Okay, EA, now where's Titanfall 3?

Decided to shelve because Okumura broke me. It's a pretty great game overall, though.

Probably the best video game Western ever, because it interrogates the myth of the "American West" in a really clever way. A way that only games can.
