Visually, one of the best looking games I have ever played. Every area of this game is a technical marvel. The direction of the missions is also noteworthy, with every shot well framed and cinematic. The character models look amazing, and the writing feels real. I enjoyed this game far more than I imagined I would, as someone who is pretty burnt out on the "Ubisoft towers" formula. I came to this game expecting to find it very "meh" but was surprised at the detail and care that went into this.
A fun little demo of what the PS5 is capable of! I was in it for the references, and was surprised at what was included across the game. A nice reminder of the varied canon of the Sony consoles. The platforming is passable, nothing groundbreaking but the controller is used in some fun ways and overall it's well worth the few hours it took me to 100%.

Last year, I did something I have been trying to avoid my whole life: I got into Magic: The Gathering. I have been trying to avoid this for several reasons: the community has an awful rep, the cost to play (and pay to win nature of deckbuilding) is astronomical on my tiny budget, and the game itself seems so daunting with its keywords and finicky rules. That being said, after taking the plunge due to my incessant roommate, I have fallen in love with the game for all the reasons I thought I would dislike it.
Inscryption is a bizarre loveletter to TCG's. it really nails the beauty of creating an absolutely busted deck, and the thrill of the hunt when it comes to finding just the right card to bring that synergy together. It also taps into the inherent goofiness of TCG themes (MTG is about to release a set of cowboy cards, so the jump to robots in the third act is in line with the inconsistency of the goofy expansions).
I went into this blind, and was surprised by all the twists and turns.
