Underleveled 01/01/22 11:40:13 PM #4 | I'm first this year? Cool! Guardians of the Galaxy (PS5) A day late for GotM, but that's okay. A win here was an awesome way to get started in 2021! Wow this was an awesome game! I wanted it the second I saw it at E3 and it lived up to every single expectation and more! The gameplay was fantastic. The exploring felt like it was out of The Last of Us or Uncharted (complete with the banter you'd expect from those games, in pure Guardians of the Galaxy style), while the battles were a phenomenal mix of solo-blasting while coordinating your teammates' special attacks. Battling to pure-hype 80s tunes after huddles was awesome, this was really my kind of soundtrack. I ended up doing a boss battle ( I often get overwhelmed and confused when there are a lot of customization options but that wasn't a problem here. The game was entirely linear and that included upgrades to equipment and moves; there was nothing difficult to figure out about it. Without giving away too much, some of it was even story-related in a very cool way that really added to the overall Guardians experience. There were some tough battles but most of them were enemy hoards - the bosses, even later-game ones, I actually found pretty easy to muscle through, even though they took a long time. I know that my actions had some effect on the story but I'm not sure to what degree. I do know that I had Speaking of the story, it was everything you could want from a Guardians of the Galaxy game. Each and every character had the charm and whimsy you'd expect from this franchise, while still having enough originality to make this adaptation stand out from the rest and be its own thing. I liked the way they incorporated the "origin story" here, picking up with the Guardians team already established while providing some origin via flashbacks. A great way to get right into the action of the game while still providing an origin story. There were plenty of wacky moments, hysterical dialogue, and over-the-top action, but also some very emotional moments and dare I say it I actually felt a tiny bit of water in my eyes I will say this - I found a surprising number of glitches for a major release in 2021. A lot of getting stuck between objects and walls, and on at least one occasion I spawned out of bounds after a cutscene. But I wouldn't say they hindered the experience. Overall this game was an absolute delight. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the source material, and even if you're not, if you enjoy exploration games with fast-paced action battles, I still recommend it. This is definitely my pick for Game of the Year 2021. --- darkx Games beaten in 2022 - 1; Most recent - Guardians of the Galaxy |

Underleveled 12/26/21 11:38:21 PM #23 | I recently found out that a good friend of mine is friends with the winner of BB17. I'm not sure how close they are, especially considering he said he didn't even know he was on the show until like halfway through that season, but it's still kinda cool. --- darkx Games beaten in 2021 - 36; Most recent - Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories |

Largely solid seasons, but with some major flaws that prevent them from being better:Yeah, when all is said and done, I'm actually sticking Survivor 41 at 17th on my list for right now, in a similarly-titled tier ("Mostly-Enjoyable Seasons With Moderate Flaws") which also includes HvHvH, SJDS, Tocantins, WaW, Africa, BvW, and Palau. I'm not posting my full list right now because I'm having trouble deciding on how to rank my bottom tier. Can't totally decide which ones are worse than the others. --- darkx Games beaten in 2021 - 36; Most recent - Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories |
