I have criticisms of how some of the writing was handled

But that was strangely beautiful

She wasn't enough of a presence through most of the game for me to have an attachment to her.

Die Hardmans final monologue to Sam is some of the strongest acting Ive seen in vidya

also just Mads in general

it was honestly my favorite game from last year. Theres just something strangely compelling about it. It should be boring as all hell on paper but I kept coming back to it more enthused than before

Yeah that Hardman monologue was intense. Guess since he was such a monotone guy through most of the game the whiplash gave it some extra emotional punch.

Dude can act though damn

Also that epilogue mission

"One last delivery, Lou..."

plus the music playing over it, the sunny weather, no hazards, just a peaceful introspective hike

beautiful

I really liked this game. Wasn't a huge fan of the whale boss lol. But it felt like I got some payoff for that phantom pain scene with it lol

I thought the writing was well done. All the mysteries were wrapped up. Not exactly well but it sufficed

I did too many edibles while playing through the middle. It didn't need me being scatterbrained added to the mix.

Yeah I think I had everything I needed explained well

I loved the final shot of Sam and Louise stepping out into the rain and it's not Timefall.

Such a silly thing to get excited over but that made me feel so nice. Just kinda like "yay humanity is free from BTs and Timefall"

And that wonderful upbeat song that played over the credits.

I'm not gonna pretend I was sitting there crying or anything like that, but I haven't had a game pull any sort of deep emotions out of me like that in a very long time.

I think part of the reason was because the writing was absolutely very good on its own, but also because (as a lot of people have noted) there are certain parallels between the events in the game and the current state of the world

So seeing everything all hopeful with a sense of "we can all rebuild and renew our ties to each other" was just so touching.

I got to the first end credits scene at like 1am on my playthrough and figured there couldn't be much more and powered through until the final end credits scene. A terrible mistake.

That applies to life in general, though.
