Swansong, ye were judged too harshly in hindsight. Oscar speaks the truth 🙏 🩸
"Swansong luxuriates in its storytelling." Disappointed by Bloodlines 2, I've loved returning to this narrative centric VtM game.
After 15 hours of Bloodlines 2 disappointment, the embrace of Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong has healed my bloodied heart
Now Playing | Returning to Swansong has revealed it an underrated social RPG gem that lets the fangs do the talking, and the perfect cure for Bloodlines 2

Typically fire review from @jazzgouldwilson.bsky.social about why VTM Bloodlines 2 just doesn't quite work. I feel exactly the same, but Jasmine puts it better than could! Simply a great read.
I waited over 20 years for this Vampire RPG sequel, and it sucked the life out of me – Bloodlines 2 is a bitter disappointment
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is the definition of a crying shame. Clumsy writing and flat, repetitive world design expose a handful of good ideas that never take root.

Oops, almost forgot to share this here too! My time with Dying Light: The Beast surpassed my already high expectations as a huge fan of @techland.bsky.social’s series, and a lot of it has to do with the beautifully written and presented story. 4.5/5 ⭐️

After 52 hours in Dying Light: The Beast, I'm confident that is one of the best survival horror games of the generation
Dying Light: The Beast is a staggering achievement, recapturing the series’ spirit and elevating it tenfold.

Why are we as a species letting “budget airlines” get away with charging non-budget prices while still operating at the stupidest times of day/night? It’s 4:30am I should be asleep not squeezing through hordes of beer swilling pensioners

It is so hysterically funny to me that GGers are crying about GTA 6 beefcake Jason being “gay coded” just because he’s hot, what does that say about you guys 😭

It is done ⚔️ (90hrs, not quite full completionist)
AC Shadows is a damn good time, even if I did crave a tighter narrative experience in the middle. That said, Yasuke’s journey might be one of my favs in series history. Time to download the soundtrack and touch grass, I guess 🖤 (jk on the latter)

Wrapped Avowed just in time for AC shadows, but before I fawn over how beautiful Ubi’s game already is in its first 3 hours, I must appreciate Lodwyn’s character design 😍 (even if she is a fetid cow)

too close to the launch of too many (hopefully) good games for me to keep at the backlog, yet my brain craves Stimulus. pls give me your modern horror/thriller book recs and help reduce my chronic screen time so I glean some sort of positive from this experience :’)
