Astro Bot is the real f-ing deal!

The amount of dopamine you receive during playing is consistently high. Such fun and creative gameplay with insanely loveable characters and fantastic soundtrack.

I'm LTTP but this deserved all the Game of the Year awards.

I've had a blast playing Terminator Resistance. Teyon has done a great job again with a lot of love for the source material. As a huge Terminator fan this exceeded my expectations.

Its definitely flawed but also a great time, especially the DLC.

I guess I really have to play Anthem before its taken offline in January.

I didn't know this was an online-only title so its literally unplayble next year.

Still think it could be a fun game, it just never lived up to the hype, also not helped by the buggy launch state.

28 Years Later was honestly a tremendous experience.

Its tonally different to the first two movies but it takes you on a rollercoaster ride. Feels very experimental, especially in terms of camera and edit work.

Some truly wild scenes and great acting.

@matpiscatella.bsky.social a noble effort but I fear it has little chance of success.

Still a good way to bring attention to a growing problem IMO.
