Been dying to play this despite some people saying it’s repetitive (what game isn’t if you try and 100% it?).
Still waiting for a ridiculous sale or for it to come on Games Pass though. Feel like it has to be soon.

Loved this game as a kid, played it a ton on SNES. I remember trying to convince my JRPG playing friends to give it a try but they weren’t able to accept that an RPG could be first person.

Very much agree. Just challenging enough to not be frustrating.

I think I’d have to go with “Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time”. Yes it very much lived up to my expectations and held the title of my favourite game ever for over a decade.

The only thing I need to know is if Wet Leg is the title screen music. Heard them in the trailer. If they are then I preorder a physical copy of the game just to be part of my Wet Leg collection lol.
