Any game with a female main character that's not overly sexualized gets hate tbh.

***************** Spoilers obviously *****************
For me, it was a 9/10 up until about 14 hours in or thereabouts. I liked the the other side of the coin idea with Abby, but I never particularly liked them using it as a vehicle to push some generic revenge is fruitless message. That just resulted in a really bleak tone overall, with a lot of out of character moments, and people awkwardly leaving each other alive for some reason, maps being left around conveniently, etc.
The game also had a really uncharitable ordering of events for Abby and her crew. Flashbacks were massively overused and ****ed the pacing. A major event would happen in the present, and then it'd be several hours later and we still haven't gone back to it. We'd be stuck giving backstory/humanizing Abby through her interactions with these newly introduced characters like Lev/Yara/Owen. Which I think really hurt any development to be experienced there and made the waves of enemies feel like a chore to get through in those sections. It was all right when there was some overlap with Ellie's side of things, or you are engaging with a character like Tommy. But it felt quite side-questy outside of those times.
The gameplay wasn't nearly as advanced as I thought it was going to be after 7 years either, but still very solid. From a technical standpoint it's great obviously.
I think overall I'd go with a 7/10 as a standalone, but I think it largely fails as a sequel. There's better stories to be told with Joel/Ellie, I think. Like that Dinosaur/space museum flashback was beautiful.
Haha yes.
The story has taken a complete backseat as I build up club Four Shine.
Seems waaaay less grindy than 0 as well, platinum hostesses are really easy to build up and I'm getting through most leagues in 2 or 3 goes.

Been playing the Y3 remaster on and off lately. Had forgotten how much worse Hostess Maker is than the one in 0 and 2.
The remaster of 3 is supposedly quite jarring initially if you've been playing through them in chronological order. Fair to say?
Also, when would you go back to 0? That was where I started but I think it will definitely be worth going back to as I reckon there's definitely stuff that will mean more once I know the background.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Playing Outer Worlds through a second time to make alternate choices. Prboably first time I've played the same game 'back to back' if you will.
Yea it's great, I spent so much time at uni playing it with mates, and then we started exploring the mods as well and there was so much there too

I mean it's nowhere near as fluid as the Kiwami games just because it's a remaster and not a remake, but it's perfectly fine to play and runs really well. It's been a long time since I played the 3-5 games but I don't think they have a lot of story related to 0 in them. 0 mostly gives a lot of context to Y1, and a little to Y2.

Having spent an unhealthy amount of time playing video games over the last few months, I have the following thoughts :
- Outer wilds is one of the most magical video games ever made
-Judgment is not as good as yakuza because no karaoke and no majima but it's still pretty damn good
- Deus Ex mankind divided is great and it's really stupid that this series is dead.
- Dead Cells and Hollow Knight are two of the best playing games ever made. Movement and combat are basically as precise as is humanly possible to implement.
- Persona 4 is better than persona 5 but it's soundtrack has aged kinda badly. Chie best girl.
- ff7 remake is actually kinda rubbish
Thank you for reading my bland opinions.

My girlfriend picked up Hollow Knight as her first ever proper game a couple of months ago and spent about a month beating it and exploring every nook and cranny - seemed like an awesome game from watching her play on zoom. She is now absolutely smashing through Cuphead. Legit psychopath.
