Dispatch Loose Scraps!

Dispatch Loose Scraps!
Dispatch was one of my most anticipated games this year, and despite my high expectations, it managed to surpass every one of them.
The game sets itself apart from others in the genre with its unique humour, stylish art direction, and memorable characters and performances.

Dispatch credits rolled 😭
While this wrapped up perfectly, I want more. Already had a 2nd playthrough going, so we'll see how that one turns out.
What more can I say? Fantastic writing, performances, visuals..everything.
Some minor minuses, but the rest more than makes up for them.
Review soon ✍️

Good Morning friends! ☕️
Really looking forward to the last 2 episodes of Dispatch tonight. Sad to see it coming to an end, let's hope there will be more 🤞
This will no doubt be the fourth game I'll be giving at least a 9/10 this year, which is crazy.
Have a great day!

Few games have excited my imagination and impacted me as strongly this year as Keeper. I’ve written a short post discussing why I think it’s such a special game, but it does contain major spoilers.

Makes a post about playing too many games at the same time > adds Arc Raiders to it.
After gaming pretty much all my life, I had my first ever interaction with a stranger. The guy healed me and we had a little chat.
Crazy experience. Feels so unnatural to me but it was fun. Gotta get used to it .

I never want to hand out 10/10s easily. I also want to avoid extreme statements unless I really mean them.
So when I tell you that Hades 2 is a 10/10 and the best roguelike of all time, you can be assured that I mean it.

I think I lost 5 years of my life during this, but I've done it: credits rolled on Silent Hill 2!
The atmosphere in this was truly something special. The locations, the sound effects, the notes, it was unforgettable.
Happy to take a breather now, though 😂 will probably write a little about this

Well shit..that's ep 3 and 4 of Dispatch gone again. Glad to see it kept up the quality: interesting, funny and just amazing from start to finish.
Only tiny complaint I have is that the dispatching seems a bit scripted, for certain scenarios to happen. Not sure how important performance is either.
