    I played silksong and hades 2 about 98% on both, both series are some of my favorites and loved both games so much. Seen the game of the year awards with expedition 33 on it and everyone saying its likely going to win, got me curious so i grabbed it when it was on sale, and i completely agree that it has a better shot at game of the year. Im playing now (about 25 hours in) and it is sooo good. The story is amazing, the characters are great and they portray emotion so well, the entire world is beautiful and mysterious, and the turn based gameplay is some of the best ive ever played, really reminiscent of old school final fantasy but fresh. Do not look up anything, any spoilers will ruin the experience imo. Id also suggest expert but if you arent into hard games maybe not for you, highly highly recommend!

    Great! Immediately made me want to 100% it. The story is maybe a 7 or 8 but everything else is a 10.

    I’ve seen one of those before. They tend to be returned to thrift stores and opp shops so the cycle can begin again. A person buys it cheap - not sure why they were drawn to it in the first place. Then in time, they find out. We all do…

    Creepy but I like it. Would I buy it? No. That looks like it would have a world of catastrophes befall you. Give it someone for Christmas and freak em out, tell em you inherited it and it's hundreds of years old, that you no longer want it cos it keeps moving around the house when you've gone out.
