Life is Strange (PC)

I put this off even longer than the Witcher because of the deliberately slow pacing. I think the game would've benefit itself to have only 3 episodes instead of 5. The first 2 parts are only boring until the eventual twist in which you are inspired to revisit them for signs of foreshadowing and symbolism. All in all, while the ending was expected, the tone shift from slice of life to darker and edgier was sort of refreshing. I would compare it to Gone Home, which I also loved.

This sounds interesting.

Board games are something I never really took the time to get into, at least beyond the mainstream stuff everyone and their grandparents has played like Risk, but I feel like I might enjoy some of them if I made the time.

It's a different and very strange time now. It's like boardgaming has gone Golden Age in the past few years and we're starting to see some really good (and bad) new mechanics come and go.

I didn't wanna jinx it when I saw my last 2 noms were in the top 3. But I always knew Scythe was going to be my top!

It's funny that Metropolys has such a beautiful cover because this is one of those games where the cover sells it. The game, not so much

https://boardgamegeek.com/image/318433/metropolys?size=large

Those buildings!

The same could be said for Scythe. I mean, the premise is awesome, and so is the game. But the first time I heard of this I was like "Oooh an economic game with steampunk machines in the backdrop of a civil war." Well, War is right. So much so that War has consequences. Yeah, it turns out this game actually deters you from fighting. You'll have to fight at least once, but its just way too costly and the losers never really die. Scythe for me was one of those hyped up kickstarter games that almost made me bite the bullet. It's beautiful. But its really not what it was trying to portray cover-wise.


Just curious Jess, you mentioned at the very start of this thread that 7.5 was your average. What would be a 9 for you, then? A 10? Those must be some really high standards.

The Witcher (PC)

I've been at this for weeks now. So glad its over! The story was very intriguing but I detested everything else: the shitty battle system, the backtracking, the triggered quests, and the some of the choices drove me insane.

I'll start on the sequel soon.

Sekai Oni seems inviting enough to read. This is the 2nd manga in this thread that's piqued my interest (after Good Night World). Always looking for new and interesting things to read.

And I just love this Flash cover. I'm a big Flash fan and I love that shadow on the bottom. And is the suit really empty? I just thought the yellow was an aesthetic skin tone to match him with the lightning.

Wow! I totally didn't notice that gangster the first time. But yeah, I love how there's so much going on here and still make it easy on the eyes.

Also, 3 of my covers in the top 10! Score!

I was expecting Phoenixborn to overtake one of mine. It's a kewl game too; had I not been already invested in Netrunner, I might've gotten into this. Though I hear it is having some printing issues and releases have slowed to a crawl. The lifespan of this amazing game is put into jeopardy. I hope it doesn't die early.

I don't wanna spoil anything about this game until the cover gets ranked but let's just say the game itself is very polarizing

Yeah Scythe is definitely good from what I've played. I played it once, but 20-30 minutes in I had to unexpectedly leave so I asked the guy who was teaching to take over for me. I've been meaning to get around to playing a full game.

Funny hahah, I had the opposite experience. Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing game. I love the amount of control you can have with the player boards and the consequences to your actions, but the box cover was somewhat misleading in that it's not a straight up wargame at all. Plus, the pacing is very deliberately slow. I don't mind slow games, but its like Scythe's mechanics want you to take your time.
