      I don’t think X4 would fit as overrated, since even the fans are quick to point out how much jank and questionable design you have to put up with in order to play

      Did not expect caves of qud to be on anyone’s list, as I thought it was pretty niche.

      I also really wanted to like the game, but it felt oddly empty. I wanted less lost in the wilderness, less static quests, more dynamic stuff to do and explore.

      the modern doom trilogy is nonstop demon killing dopamine if you like shooters and is bored by all the toxic cod clones and battle royales, but kinda meh if you don’t.

      disco elysium is written by wall-of-text leftists, so it’s more of a book than a game. it’s a great book at that, but an ok game. kentucky route zero is similar but is more like an art piece than a book, if that’s your jam.

        I liked the 2016 Doom. It was kind a Half-Lifey and flow was good. Eternal was just too platformy and the arena shooter parts were nothing new.

        Havent tried Dark Ages, because Hellsinger already tickled that itch and did it well. I’d rather return to that.

      Oof. Elden ring is my top 5 for sure. But hey, that’s why we got choices and preferences.
