recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

    1. The Witcher series. Around 15 years ago I’ve picked up Sapkowski’s books. I made through one and a half. Can’t stand his writing.

    2. Horizon series - I watched my partner play through it and I can’t think of a more bland, unimaginative world.

      Both the Witcher games and the TV show are far, far better than the books. It’s honestly impressive to me that they managed to salvage something (to me) so fun and interesting out of that trashfire.

      That said, I can understand people not vibing with the Witcher games’/show’s particular mix of somehow both serious and ridiculous, or being put off by the sexism or the grimdark or whatnot.
