I don't think the people who praise it are delusional, I just don't think as many people who loved the base game will feel that way as the amount of high scores suggest.The annual GDC Awards will be held in March, and nominations for Game of the Year are Death Stranding, Control, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Untitled Goose Game, and Outer Wilds.Įach of the aforementioned games received multiple Game Developers Choice nominations.ĭeath Stranding leads with seven nominations, followed by Control and Outer Wilds with five nominations each. I'd love another DLC that has more of the original mechanics, the capacity for greatness is 100% here. Spent half the length of the base game doing 20% of what I liked about it. Reasons I consider this inferior: - several gameplay aspects of the base game I loved are no longer prevalent - way easier to confuse yourself into getting stuck by progressing out of order - while the story is excellently weaved into the lore, I'm not happier for uncovering all the details - much more forced aesthetic than the base game Craftsmanship is excellent, but I can't justify saying I liked it, if it just didn't feel fun: - I didn't feel the same wonder as before, sans a couple brief jaw-dropping occasions - the theme is not what I signed up for, even though I anticipated feeling some extra eeriness - original game's ending fell flat for me, that was my only gripe with an otherwise masterpiece, but this felt even less rewarding - half my game time was permeated by frustration It detracted from how fondly I remember the base game due to repetitively playing a subset of the mechanics, half spent in an aesthetic that I did not enjoy, for too long. I really wanted to like this but instead feels like an annoying emo phase of the base game. I really wanted to like this but If you want to start totally clean and be (potentially negatively) surprised by its themes, skip this.
