daftpunk_mk5 12/05/21 2:44:19 PM #10:	It Takes Two is the most overrated game I've played in years. I played through the whole thing with my wife... I feel like it got a disproportionate amount of praise for it's uniqueness but the core platforming is pretty weak and the narrative was pretty hamfisted overall. Rest of those I'd consider pretty 8/10 games... Good but not masterpieces by any means. Of all the game of the year candidates this year, Ratchet Rift Apart is the only one I find remotely worthy. --- Some say that his voice can only be heard by cats, and that he has two sets of knees... all we know is, he's called the Stig. <cite>daftpunk_mk5 posted [p:960645594] in Is 2021 th...

ViewtifulJoe 12/05/21 4:13:25 PM #14:	2016 felt pretty hopeless at the time. 2020 was understandably dire. 2013 was a downward turn too.
