great heart the most shockingly well put together game of the year one of the best things I've played production values are insane, art is stunning, variety is constantly fresh music slaps the little open world hub areas are great controls a lot better than 1 the writing and character work is so phenomenal. It is super funny all the way through while also dealing with difficult subject matter in an extremely classy and enjoyable manner a game about healing and bettering yourself and others is the perfect thing for 2021 i can't believe it's 20+ hours at the quality level it is it's Microsoft's best game since I don't even know and also congrats to Microsoft for publishing the GOTY for the first time since we started doing this only imperfect thing is the power swapping
the freshest game of the year fantastic gameplay incredible sound design intriguing world and story making their bullet hell 2D stuff into a third person shooter worked so well best boss fights in years, hyperion especially dualsense stuff is great story stuff is a let down and that plus a slight lack of variety in gameplay later on are the only things that stop it from being #1
the king of schlock for this year, it's so unbelievably stupid outside of the segment in the first hour where you are in the village I had an amazing time from start to finish the castle segement was great, the PT segment was amazing, the fish monster segment was real dumb, the weird terminator factory was great, the dumb MW2 section at the end was dumb it's so dumb enviornmental variety is so much better than 7 enemy variety is way better production values are incredible gives you that Resident Evil loop three or four times in smaller environments which I loved much more of an action game than horror which I was into
great heart feel good, fun animated family movie from start to finish incredible tech/visuals, gameplay feels so much better than it ever has has that comfy nostalgic, PS2-era vibe to it Rivet and Kit are great writing and character stuff is really well done left me ready to immediately play another one of them maybe a tad disappointing that it's extremely just another Ratchet game
shockingly good and high production, it's so much better than A Way Out controls feel fantastic endless creativity no segment overstays its welcome personality is very weird as is the story but i liked how odd it all was peaked early with the bee segment but it holds up to the end elephant scene
great heart the perfect thing for the end of the year for me, a very fun, very linear popcorn action adventure the writing and character work is way better than I ever expected best surprise of the year, I had utterly rock bottom expectations does more with the characters than the movie, ties the main plot into the interpersonal stuff nicely cosmo is the best visuals are amazing, soundtrack is good combat is very basic and dull overstays its welcome by an hour or two
DLC first 5 hours were incredible, last 5 hours were incredible loved the more sinister, dreadful vibes a lot of it has the entire first couple hours are some of the best opening hours of anything, ever the stranger is amazing middle section was not very fun for me, puzzle stuff that was obtuse to me and the stealth stuff if I was playing it as part of the main game and able to walk away from it to other places it wouldn't have been as much of a problem
great world, great visuals, great music, good writing, extremely mechanically deep will probably be my go to card game for the next long while whenever I have the itch only card game since thronebreaker to hook me
amazing story that somehow manages to provide crazy twists that recontextualize the whole thing *EVERY HOUR OR SO*, it's a delightfully complicated story manages to be comprehendible despite the complexity and variance/modularity in how you uncover it gameplay is almost nonexistent
wonderful heart and writing, playing it last year and finishing it after coming home worked really nicely great visuals and music and vibe, especially that its quiet and leaves me alone jank as hell holds it down
