Tomb Raider in so many 2s and 3s 😍

I loved TLOU when it came out. I’m not as hot on it now but the story was enthralling. I also loved GTAV and still do. It’s so replayable. It’s very easy to just exist in that world and have fun.

My list was as follows.

1. Tomb Raider
2. The Last of Us
3. Grand Theft Auto 5
4. Rayman Legends
   HM: DmC: Devil May Cry
   HM: Dota 2
   HM: Deadpool
   HM: Bioshock Infinite

I get Deadpool not getting in. It’s a largely forgettable third person action game that I just happened to enjoy a lot.
I also get Dota 2 not getting in. People don’t tend to think of esports for these kind of lists.
But RAYMAN LEGENDS. Objectively, one of the best platformers of all time. Packed with content, secrets. Has great controls and it feels so good to love through those levels!

I didn’t put Bravely Default in. I really enjoyed the game. I maxed out the entire party in both level and every job. In theory, the second half of that game is really cool, but the execution was poor. It went on way to long and honestly soured the game for me.

A Link Between Worlds holds up. It was my first ever Zelda game and I really enjoyed discovering the series as well as true game itself.

A modern classic if there ever was such a thing.

Love Infinite. One of the greatest videogame stories ever told, and the way it takes advantage of being a sequel and being able to take advantage of the player having experienced the first game is so Kojima-esque.

World design is also top-notch. You couldn't resist the idea of Columbia, the same way you couldn't resist the idea of Rapture, and that actually resonates with how the characters relate to the setting as well.

Tomb Raider is a 10.

One of my favourite characters of all time, this was a masterful reboot. I love everything about it, but especially Lara’s story beats as she progresses through the game. Pure joy to play.

Great game! 👌

Who said anything about “deserving” anything?

I’m not entitled to anything on the show. It could have had the plot of a teletubbies episode.
That doesn’t mean I can’t have an opinion.

If you can’t respond to my points, please don’t put words in my mouth.

I’ve never read the books. I expected a Season on par with the rest of the show.

Season 8 doesn’t give anything remotely resembling substance, which the rest of the show, especially the early seasons, delivered in spades.

It continuously throws multiple seasons of build up in the bin in the interest of “getting to an ending”.

But that’s absolutely fine because we got to see the really cool dragons fly about and breathe fire!

Fuck that shit.

Spoilers....

Thought it was crap, and in hindsight of the end, I thought the vast majority of the Season was crap. There was more emotion and poignancy in the finale of Blackadder Goes Forth. This has to be the biggest fall from grace in the history of TV.

The Stanley Parable is a great game. Like Papers Please, I had it written down but it unfortunately got cut. I loved exploring all the endings and all the different combinations you could get. It was like a big jigsaw.

Funnily enough, The Stanley Parable is the only game for which I have a review published, back when WhatCulture let anyone write for them (for free) regardless of writing talent (or lack of, as you can see from my review).

They had no QA or editing at all. It honestly surprises me that they were still relevant enough to have their own wrestling brand at one point.

PP just barely missed my top 8. Incredible game.
