Not funny. Miserable gameplay.

Got it free on PS+ a while back, haven't played it yet

5.5/10

Cool in concept, but kinda nihilistic at times.

Neat but wears thin pretty fast. 7 might be generous but I kinda like that something like it exists at all.

Despised what I saw of Stanley Parable, but it wasn't exactly enough to rate and I sure wasn't in the mood to check it out for myself.

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest: 4/10

Looks like you're on an island on this one, mac.

7.5/10 -- has some good moments interspersed with periods of frustration

Pyre is with me

I'd bet money on my not giving it more than a 3/10 if I had ever sat down and played the full thing.

Or at least if I had played it back when it came out. Possible I would have a different reaction if I approached the game now with fresh eyes and I'm 10 years older.

9, played deluxe edition, such a unique experience.

Next game tonight
