way better than it has any right to be! sort of a mess at times but an incredibly earnest game that has way more personality than any MCU entry

Destroyed all my goodwill in five seconds by demanding I spend the last act of the game doing boring busywork for cardboard cutouts of people who I already know will promptly be exploded by the end of the story

the acclaimed card game triple triad comes to modern systems with the inclusion of a bonus rpg

has been extremely fun to drop into for casual matches, but the current lack of content means that the hardcore players are now capable of surgically dismantling you in every possible matchup - I’ve played a lot of quick play matches where one outlier will clown on everyone else so hard that the entire game becomes populated by bots as everyone quits in frustration

also getting teabagged in the current year makes me feel like I’m back in 2007 and about to get called a slur

Grinding items in a text-based game is unhinged shit

I’ve got no idea how this continues to make money for Failbetter considering how much you’re forced to repeat storylets to level up your stats. It’s like gacha for poly people who like burlesque

more like V.II fail lmao

like the real world, halo reach contains a selection of tragedies that happen so closely to each other that they blur together, and at the end you are left feeling absolutely nothing

if this game wasn't such a finely tuned beautiful engine I wouldn't ever forgive it for doing a "this is too spooky to even look at" ending

Its been years since I’ve played this but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how they sold this as the definitive end of the Dark Souls series and then opened it with the angel laser segment

In every tiny moment or flourish, Unsighted shows itself as a true labour of love, generous and complex with something to say that could only have possibly been said by the people responsible for it

My main criticism of the game is that it’s too much - it’s best ideas are often obscured by a lot of mechanical chaff that leads to a pretty uneven experience that feels like the video game made inside someone’s imagination as a teen for better and for worse

Ambitious, messy, but above all, spirited and earnest in a way few games are

An absolutely beautiful looking game with controls not quite tuned well enough to pull off what it’s going for. Still a hard recommend just on its looks and setting alone, but comes with a million provisions attached to it
