Deeply regret letting friends convince me to sink my life into the mediocre stealth action game wrapped in 30 hours of rock-stupid misery porn that is The Last of Us 2. Wish I’d just played another Life Is Strange for 100% less psychotic lesbian smooch sci-fi story game in 1/3 of the time.

2022

A beautifully told, frequently funny, often overwrought, always thought-provoking, incomplete yet unforgettable little story.

Can’t think of many better ways to spend two hours than with this microscopic Breath of the Animal Crossing Wild.

I put another fifty hours into this and decided it’s better than the sum of its parts. Great game for vibin’, chillin’, goin’ with the flow, groovin’, all that jazz.

Deeply boring. Unproductively clunky. I’d so much rather watch a bad movie than be forced to control 15 hours of one.

A rich world and story delivered far too slowly through some seriously tedious traversal and exploration mechanics. It’s a cool game to read and a poor one to play.

Conceptually very cool, but the core game loop is just too repetitive.

What’s that they say about the highest form of flattery?
