It’s Ellie smirking and giving sarcastic replies, or her facial expression(s) and body language when Joel scolds her or doesn’t praise her when she believes she deserves it. Even 2018’s God of War, while remarkable in its own right, just didn’t have the expertise in the writing department.Īnd it’s not just the writing it’s the delivery of sentences and phrases from every character. Many developers have tried imitating ND but can’t reach their heights. Seriously, what other developer in the business can build such great characters and make them feel human? Their writing is on another level, only matched by old BioWare RPGs and RockStar, and more specifically, Red Dead Redemption 2. Playing it on the PS5, with no load times, updated graphics/character models, additional things added into the game from Part 2 - it makes it the definitive way to play this masterpiece. My opinion still hasn’t changed after almost a decade - it’s my favorite game of all time, and one of the greatest video games ever created. This week I played and platinumed The Last of Us Part 1. I don’t need to add to what everyone knows to this game being immaculate and have enjoyed every minute with one of the best games of the past generation. Last game I’m playing is A Plague Tale Innocence which I’m replaying again before the sequel comes out. I just can’t get over how much it’s staves have sunken into my skin and I can’t get enough! This game would be an amazing fit for my horror October games playlist with the divine art style that has befallen my eyeballs with its lustrous design. The real game that has taken me too long to finally get to has been Blasphemous which we all know to be a Souls-Like 2d Metroidvania. It is a surprising mix of bicycle sim/arcade game and is quite relaxing to play over listening to Spotify or a podcast. There is also endless possibility with user generated levels but I will probably stop playing once I beat each of the four main stages, of which I have beat two of so far.

I’ve now started playing Descenders which is an oddly satisfying down hill bike riding game with procedurally generated levels, but the killer is every level so far has felt different which is quite the achievement. So it has been a bit of a grab bag this week. I decided to sift through my steam library and decide which games I wanted to pursue playing or permanently bench them to make way for the other games I know I will enjoy.
