Absolute troll get outta here

I mixed up Bethesda with Bioware. Though in fairness, I never played ME or Dragon Age either, since they didn't really appeal to me.
I feel like my life would be better if I never played TLoU games (especially TLoU 2). What a miserable pair of games. And fuck Joel.
RDR2 was in theory very good but I couldn't finish the epilogue and never felt like going back. I'm not really sure why it felt that way.

God of War Ragnarok is a very solid game but is a definite step down from the first.

We already mentioned BioShock Infinite.
Actually I almost forgot about this one:

Ghost of Tsushima is hella overrated. It is a perfectly serviceable game; but its open world is completely and utterly dreary and lifeless despite being aesthetically pretty, its combat is serviceable but the camera angle does it a disservice (the game is at its best in duels because it feels up close and personal), and the story is aight.

It is a 7/10 that is treated like a 9/10 and would be considered a 6/10 if it was an Ubisoft game.

There's a lot to love about RDR2 but the final chapters / sections are a slog and are unnecessarily long. I have no idea why it was dragged out so much. My partner loves the game and has replayed it loads but she doesn't like getting towards the last few chapters as things slow down a lot despite how much the plot advances. I feel like that sense of things moving along isn't there.

I enjoyed Ragnarok more than GoW. GoW was fine but I didn't find it very fun to play. GoW had better bosses though I think? Been a long time since I played it. Ragnarok's final boss was very underwhelming.
Just remembered another one (sorry in advance, Henry); Mass Effect.

I actually own the trilogy or 1/2 (can't remember) on PS3 (they were all given away for free at some point) and the HD versions (given away for free again I think? on PS4/5), but I just can't be bothered. And that's despite loving Dragon Age Origins and II, which I think they're all very much in line with in regards to roleplaying.

Just cba! Would rather replay KOTOR!
