    My wife and I played through all of the insurance fraud activity sets and moved on to the same activity in the second game. Sure, maybe she wasn’t the best at it but any time I get to actually hand my controller to my wife and she’s actually willing to take it is a highlight!

    Let me call this my “Most Low-Key Hyped Game of the Year” followed by “Most Disappointing Game of the Year.” The latter would be an unfair assessment as I have not finished this game, but, oh my lord, if that combat ever becomes a dominant aspect of a chapter in this game it would permanently push my overboard to never return. This was started to almost instantly fall to the backlog so AC: Origins and Prey could both be completed.
51. Yakuza 0 (Playstation 4)
