Absolutely dripping with style. Rivals pynchon with its insanely obscure pinpoint specific humour, though i think you'd be able to ride the waves on a vibes-based approach if you've got no context. Extremely funny, but good luck successfully trying to articulate its jokes to anyone without schizophrenia.

Some of the most delectable prose in video games since Disco Elysium. The game does an homage to Coppola's Dracula within the first minute of play. There's an associated sludge metal album released simultaneously alongside the game.
Serious narrative chops & a keen eye for utilising videogames as its own particular medium.

Immaculate vibes are hobble by crude, undercooked gameplay in the world's greatest cat game. Stray continually fails to find any meaningful pathway to justify its slick presentation and visual design - between the amateur puzzle design and caveman primitive stealth encounters, the game never quite finds its feet in its short runtime.

God of war wins the award for most improved reboot (Prey does not count) but does little to shake up the current open-world/RPG/Prestige TV meta landscape. The game is able to hold my attention between its many gorgeous setpieces, but ultimately feels like a chore between its by-the-numbers progression systems & rote call and response combat design.
