I honestly love how dumb and straightforward the story is. It's objectively not good and the characters lack any depth but it has a so bad it's good quality. Sadly the gameplay loop gets very repetitive and stale which is too bad because the skill tree system and actual combat is very fun.

The anime tropes are definitely not for me. I feel like the game is trying to lean into tropes so aggressively so that it can become ironic but it takes away from the full package for me. Beyond the story and dialogue however is a fast speedrunning game with a new Machine Girl album which is 100% based.

I actually can't believe this game got made. Some of the moments in the Lodge are disturbing enough to keep you up at night

Climbing far cry towers and discovering parts of the map is a perfect little dopamine hit to the brain. Annoying Ubisoft got rid of them citing "a desire to challenge players to explore and discover as the reason". It's a Far Cry game there really isn't anything that interesting to explore and see I just want to clear areas and shoot shit for 30 minutes before I play something better.

Oppenheimer moment

Jonathan Blow really managed to make one of the best puzzle games ever with just line puzzles and random philosophy quotes

Far Cry games are like McDonalds burgers. You know exactly what you're going to get, it lacks any real substance or nutrients and its crazy mass produced but it's still good. Far Cry 4 is a slight step down from Far Cry 3 but it's hard to follow up the cultural impact Vaas had on gaming culture

I'll never know how 14 year old me had the patience to collect every Gold Skulltula

Masterpiece. The best depiction of Hyrule

So absurdly good. Hard not to miss this era of Bioware. Here's hoping the new game feels more in line with this rather than Inquisition.

The perfect B horror game. Not particularly scary and more so fun to play with friends and laugh. Sadly Supermassive haven't been able to capture this same magic since

If the lobby system was better it'd be perfect

Crazy repetitive combat with a story that tries so hard to be cryptic and eerie that just comes off dull.

Game had everything going for it but fumbles everything so hard around the halfway point. Worst plot of any modern SMT game with boring open areas and nothing side quests. Lahmu's section is really the only interesting part of the game.

What I wouldn't give to retire to Toussaint and drink wine all day
