Re: 490 - Metroid II: Return of Samus

I remember nicking this game off of my older brother when I was a kid. I never knew what was going on or what I was supposed to do, I would get lost very easily and probably only made it about 1% of the way through before I’d give up and go back to Pokémon Blue or Link’s Awakening. But I was always ...

Re: 486 - Metro Exodus

Metro: Exodus is a great game. Not a perfect one, or one that transcends or reinvents the genre but a great game nonetheless. I wasn’t particularly excited by it prior to launch, I’d really enjoyed the two previous titles in the series but I felt leaving behind the unique setting of the Moscow metr...

Re: Self-imposed rules on buying games?

I have to at least finish the games I currently own, before I buy any new games/systems. I have like 600 games in my Steam library and an entire group of them in my library I've singled out that I want / need to play. Yet I still ignore them when something I've been looking forward to comes out. Bu...

Re: 489 - Death Stranding

I remember starting Death Stranding with absolutely no idea what it was about. I’d seen the cinematic trailers which were absolutely no help and a lot of speculation, but I’m a big fan of Hideo Kojima, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. After completing the game, I still had no idea what Death ...

Re: 478 - Ghost of Tsushima

Ghost of Tsushima was the second game I played on my PS5, behind Demon’s Souls , and had been looking forward to it for some time. At 4K running at 60FPS, it’s a truly beautiful game that really makes the most of the setting. It’s an incredibly polished experience but unfortunately it suffers from ...

Re: 476 - The Last of Us Part II

I don’t know if I’ve ever thought as much about how a game made me feel as I have for The Last of Us Part 2 and so in that regard, it’s certainly an affecting game. Character’s awful and destructive decision making made me angry and frustrated, the lack of empathy made me sad, and the grimness of th...

Re: Games you like more than the consensus

Dark Souls 2. I just listened to the C&R episode on it the other day and it sounded like a lot of people didn't enjoy it very much, particularly compared to the love for the original. I actually really liked the hub and spoke nature of the world design and I enjoyed the individual level variety ...

Re: Gone Home

Thinking back, I can't really remember exactly what let me to buy Gone Home. If I recall I'd seen it receive a very high review scores (and even some GotY awards) but didn't really pay much attention beyond adding it to my Steam wishlist as I'm prone to doing. I picked it up during a Christmas sale ...
