FUCK THIS GAME

Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture
Beaten
Absolutely beautiful. Stunning. Really. I spent like, five minutes when I played this in May and stared at the rain falling on a plastic table for like, five minutes. 20 minutes in I knew the end would bum me out. I was right. NOT the game to play during quarantine. Glad I finished it, but fuck this game.
Wonder what they’ll make next.

Star Trek Online
STO is an old MMO, but a fun one. The ground combat is alright, but space is the place. Plus it’s the first place I expressed myself in a character that looks like me as a woman. Pretty cool.

Star Wars Battlefront 2
Beaten
Got it free with PS+. Enjoyed the single player, which got me to buy JFO. Try it out if you got it for free.

Destiny: Beyond Light
D2Y4(Y7) is a return to enjoyable content. Shadowkeep was not my thing and it’s seasons didn’t appeal to me. Elise, Varkis and Crow interest me far more than Eris and (sadly for me) Saint-14. Its gooooood shootin’.

Celeste
Reminds me of Super Meat Boy, but fun. Trans woman climbing a mountain is more interesting to me than...whatever SMB’s plot was. Got it on Itch.io BLM bundle, which I was more than happy to support.

Gravity Rush 2
Got this on a whim. Very different movement style with a third person action RPG rounding it out. Would have been interesting on a Vita, but its good on the PS4.

Mass Effect Andromeda
When I felt the need for a shooter and Destiny wasn’t of interest, MEA was suggested to me. I love the Trekkier feel. How it sidestepped the end of ME3 is interesting too.

Honorable Mentions

Spider-Man 2018
I understand what everyone was talking about in ‘18. Best superhero game since Arkham City. Wanna play the new one when I get a PS5.
.
Control
A game with phenomenal worldbuilding and fun gameplay. Heard it looks awesome with a new PC too. I really need to play more of this.

5.) Luigi’s Mansion 3
I would not have guessed that this would be such a good format, but Luigi+ghosts+vacuum is perfect. The open world of 3 adds further to it. Luigi’s fearfulness gives great sight gags of him being frightened by all kinds of things. Kids might get scared, but for me his reactions are the fun part.
