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~~

    Tall robot dinos they made so much fuss about in the marketing… that are just used as Far Cry towers that walk in circles and do nothing else. Such as waste.

    Edit: the story, including the “what happened in the past” story, felt like it was going in an incredibly predictable direction too. People say it’s good but tbh I don’t believe them at all.
