I have a few games I really enjoyed that have mixed reviews. It’s a shame that when I’m browsing I’ve been conditioned to mostly ignore mixed and below. Usually they have significant problems that negate anything cool.
I’m going to try this out based on your post and the other positive reviews I saw
Yep, I try to ignore reviews. Sometimes they deserve them, and sometimes there’s a real gem hidden under unclear systems or bad graphics.
Lichdom Battlemage is complex, unclear, and “Mixed”, but to me, it’s by far the best spell system in gaming, and it feels and looks amazing, when you know what you’re going… You just have to put the time in. “Overwhelmingly positive” in MY book ;)
I remember Flayra from Natural Selection, a half-life mod twenty years ago. I remember him making appeals for investors/donations to keep Unknown Worlds afloat (or maybe just launch it as a company. I recall a video he posted where he showed us his tiny apartment and the milk in his fridge.)
Then Subnautica came out years later and I thought ‘Well I’ll be damned.’
Clair Obscur. Made from former Ubisoft team members in what sounds like a healthy development culture and it’s a godamnned masterpiece at every level. Visuals, art direction, story, characters, mechanics, music - it’s all stellar.
I know what you mean I thought that too but I think it was more the way you move in the reboot. I went back and played old school quake and quake 2 and still had it.
Me being terrible at games now is because I am old and can’t sink the same time into it. But I beat Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on NES. Do I really need to prove myself anymore?
never was all that good, but declining coordination and a desire to quit investing time/money playing games made me stop. Asynchronous social interaction is more my speed now. also gave away my guitars for similar reasons. quit driving last year. if you are still having fun, keep going. I can still type, sort of.
I was already outdone like 10 years ago by my cousins who practically came with gaming consoles out of the womb. Idk how they figure the stuff out so fast.
Making great progress! Bill is such a great character. He’s turned his town into a fortress occupied only by him. Sounds great until you realize he’s been alone for years. It’s less of a fortress and more of a prison and, with the way he talks to himself, you get the sense that the isolation is starting to wear on him. Even then, when given the opportunity to leave, he doesn’t. He’s going to die alone in that place because he sees trusting others as a weakness. Something he tries to impress onto Joel. But does Joel want to be like Bill? Does he want to be like Tess? Such a great chapter!
I really liked Bill, but yeah. His loneliness definitely seems to be taking a toll. It’s weird because this is the second character named Bill i’ve seen that his loneliness problems
Night and day difference between game Bill and show Bill, too. Both characters are interesting explorations of attachment vs isolation in their own ways.
