what are some things you look for in a game? what are some games in the past 5 years that you feel are really excellent and make use of the medium well? (however that looks like to you) :3c

Firstly, I look for the promise of a great story, be it sweeping and epic or straightforward and cathartic. (OFF, Chrono Trigger, Persona 5, TT’s The Walking Dead \season 1\,  Lisa: The Painful RPG, To The Moon, The Cat Lady, Final Fantasy 6, Link’s Awakening, Bravely Default)

Secondly, I look for a game which excellently immerses you into its environment; a game whose world you don’t really want to ever leave. (Kentucky Route Zero, Abzu, Yume Nikki, The Stanley Parable, Dear Esther, Firewatch, Shadow of the Colossus, Journey,)

Thirdly, I look for something with a really unique art style, something I feel like I’ve never seen before. (Gingiva/Middens, Monument Valley, Thirty Flights of Loving, Crypt Worlds, Limbo, Her Story, Time Fcuk, LSD: Dream Emulator)

Lastly, I’ll likely play a game which lacks the previous three requisites if it has promise of becoming meta or subverting your expectations radically. (Doki Doki Literature Club!, NieR: Automata, Spec Ops: The Line, UNDERTALE, INSIDE, The Witness, Hatoful Boyfriend, Anatomy, The Beginner’s Guide)
