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~~

      I stuggled with it so many times. I think Borderlands games, in general, are the ones I tried the most to enjoy, because everything about it is cool to me, the eastetic, the characters, the presentation…

      I restarted the first at least 4 times, alone and in coop, thinking the problem was that it doesn’t work as a solo experience. I played the sniper and then I tried the gunman because, maybe, the sniper is not that enjoyable.

      Then I got the 2, because maybe the first was too raw and basic.

      I just… don’t have fun.

      I point the cursor toward waves of spongy healthbars, and then I get served a giant plate of paralyzing choices between 64 billion gear options that clutter me and my frail mind.

      I ended up loving Tales from the Borderlands: all the good from the worldbuilding and none of the gameplay loop.

        I love the Borderlands games (at least 1 and 2, I haven’t played the others yet), including just in single-player, buuuuut I do concede that they have an issue with way too much junk loot. It’s way too infrequent that you find an actual upgrade for your favorite weapons (especially in Borderlands 2).
