It's been a joy to revisit Hollow Knight. It's not perfect, but this game is practically a miracle. It makes me want to make games, and there's no higher praise I can give it.

This was an absolute delight to revisit. Bloodborne is my favorite of FromSoft's catalogue, even if I think some of their more recent work has surpassed it when I put on my objectivity hat.
The faster combat, the emphasis on aggression, the wonderfully unique nuances of the trick weapons, and the absolutely spectacular world and atmosphere make this one of my favorite experiences in gaming, hands down.
Lovecraftian horror lends itself perfectly to FromSoft's style, and of all the iterations of it I've explored, this is without a doubt the definitive one for me.

I've been playing this for a couple weeks now, and I really love it. It's not perfect, there are certain things I think could be improved or village elements I think should be added, but it is overall a simply delightful little game.

Words fall utterly short of describing what this game means to me. It is, without a doubt in my mind, among the pinnacle of what this medium has to offer.
It's not for everyone - I've known people to bounce off of it - but it is such a beautiful, singular experience that everyone, whether or not you typically like this kind of game, owes it to themselves to play it.
