This is the reason I place video games in the same category as films and books, in "works of art". The best narrative I know told in the best way it could be.
Not visually impressive, but I couldn't care less. The style fits its purpose and works perfectly to create an unsettling mood throughout the entire ~18-20 hour playthrough.

I think the saddest fact about me is that Minecraft has almost defined who I am. Not proud of that, but it's a good game so shut up. My play time is an estimate because I started playing well before 2013 and I only counted the logs from my versions that I still had installed on this computer, which I got in 2018. And I took that estimate at the start of this year. So it's probably more upwards of 3000. Worth every second (except when I was on Hypixel)

There isn't much to the story, but there doesn't need to be. Visually, it's incredibly charming, and it's the only game that's in my favourite list solely from controls and gameplay. The style is cute, and the scenery can be stunning, but nothing beats just how fun and tactile and engaging the movement system is. Incredible sense of progress without practically any "upgrades", just because I literally got gud.

The main story is fun, and I know with cheat codes there's a lot to mess around with in singleplayer, but I spent almost all of my hours in the online game. It's so full of content from being updated somewhat regularly since release that there's always something to work toward. Making money can be a bit repetitive, seeing as one of the best ways is to just do the same heist over and over, but driving through the city is just so fun that it's worth it.

A fantastic exploration game which encourages you to venture through nothing but sheer curiosity. The environments are incredibly creative, and the lore is captivating to uncover without being so dauntingly complex. I felt the ending was lacklustre on my first playthrough, but that's because I was bringing expectations that I shouldn't have.
