    Bioware games have never been interesting for me, despite trying multiple. This one is known as the "height" of the franchise and yet after several hours, I couldn't find myself caring about a single character.

    It's the only MGS I can't bring myself to finish. I find it such a disappointing way for the series to end.

    TLOU is an 8 out of 10, which isn't an insult, but means it has a long way to go compared to some of the stuff it's gotta fight on this list.

    Dude Raider has never been able to hold my attention for very long. It might be a personal problem, I'll admit, but I gotta kill it.

    Yakuza gamrs have a lot of great things, but also a lot of shortcomings that are difficult to ignore

    South Park: The Stick of Truth is way better than it deserves to be. It's such a faithful adaptation of the show. Unfortunately, it's pretty short and never challenging, with some rather shallow RPG mechanics. Hopefully the second game fixes these issues.

    I feel like I have complicated enough feelings about this one to actually write something kinda sizable, so here goes. Papers Please was one of the first games I remember that came from an indie, art-driven, politically charged background to receive major attention and praise from mainstream gaming news outlets. Theoretically, this should make me really happy. Indie, politically charged "art games" are kind of my wheelhouse as a gamer (or at least a strong component of it). Its commercial and critical success also proved that these types of games deserve an amount of recognition that was rarely afforded to them beforehand. However, I still feel the lingering traces of salt that come with this: the game to get the most mainstream recognition from this loosely-defined genre isn't the best. In fact, not even close to it. Papers Please was overall decent at unifying mechanics, art direction, audio design, and message to communicate the soul-crushing tedium of being a border control officer. Where I take issue is that the game tries to get you to confront the people you accept or deny access to as complex individuals by denying access to any other human beings. Representing your home status with one-word text descriptions matches the rest of the game's stark tone, but it also makes it easy to forget about the humanity of the family you're working to help support. This takes a lot away from the moral decision implicit in the core mechanics, since weighing consequences becomes less of a factor. For me, this simplification killed a lot of the game's potential, and it's not really the kind of game that you play for the sheer fun factor. I found myself unable to play for more than a few minutes at a time because of the harshness communicated in the visual style.

    Personally I'm not a huge fan of these types of games, and this doesn't feel to be so special to be competeting against other games on this list.

    I have no interest in this series. Besides, not like it needs any MORE attention from this brand. ;p
