On the one hand, some of the gameplay isn't as solid as it could be and the way it portrays trans identities isn't very good. Anti-capitalist themes are present, but lack much depth. Besides a couple of standout moments, it lacks any real punch in that regard
On the other, those stand out moments are really good and the central story between V and Johnny is absolutely spectacular. The writing shines whenever Keanu is on screen.
Also completing (Don't Fear) The Reaper was one of my favourite video game experiences ever

I'm logging this as PS4, because that's where the majority of my time was, but I played this game on two different PS4s, my Xbox and my PC with mods. Playtime is very much an approximate
What can I even say about the only game I've spent 300 hours in other than possibly Minecraft. Abilities, map chokepoints, weird little quirks that were never really patched, hell I played this before the progression rework, still remember what a hellhole the game was back then. This is probably the only multiplayer game I've ever fallen in love with. And it brought me happiness in very dark times in my life. So it'll always be special to me

So um, I don't really know how to gather my thoughts on this one. Still sort of broken after finishing it. All I can say is after the credits started rolling, I spent the next 10 mins loudly sobbing. I can't remember the last time that happened to me with any piece of art, let alone a video game. Yeah, that's it for now

For the record, I enjoyed my time with the story mode. Had plenty fun, but every attempt to enjoy the game's other modes just... didn't go very well. Not to mention just how much I disliked the upgrade system. Maybe I would have stuck around a bit longer if fighting games were my thing, but they're not
Yeah sorry didn't like this one that much.
The absolute best time I've had with this game were when I played with friends. Every other attempt at playing this just made me annoyed. I think the only reason I even stuck with it for so long was the Joker DLC. Did complete World of Light though, even got all of the challenges done, so you can't say I didn't give it a chance

Dates and playtime are VERY rough estimates. First playthrough was on Gamepass, so can't exactly go back and check.
I look back on me from 2020 sometimes, and one of the things that always sticks out to me was that there was a time where I didn't care much for Hades. Oh how would he feel if he saw 2023 me struggling like hell to find a physical copy of it in the local stores. I did two runs. That's all it took for me to get hooked. Two runs and an obsession began that can still overtake me at any time if I just turn the game on. I thought the all the 'just one more run' people were insane, then I became one of those people.
...also the reason I started playing may or may not have been Thanatos. 16 year old me had a type, what can I say?

If we were to look at this objectively, maybe the game is better than I think it is. But of all the games I've played, I fail to think of one I've forgotten about as fast and cared for as little as Fallout 4. I genuinely cannot remember a single one that has left me this empty and emotionless. I love this series and as someone who adores shitty and poorly aged games, I was prepared to cut it some slack. It just didn't give me anything to hang on to.
