Just started the final episode...

Right, done with Life is Strange (PC).

As per what others have said, Episode 5 is an odd one.  Lots of goodness before that, but it ended up outstaying it's welcome.  Lots of love though: soundtrack, general premise, strong female lead x 2, etc.  Stealthy sections though?  Fuck off.  All good a bit silly.  Kinda wished it just ended at the end of E4.

In terms of the very ending...
I think it's #6 on my GOTY list, so not getting any points. An honourable mention though. Solid [7] butters for a fly, but feels like it could have been a [9] without too many changes.

So yar Undertale.
The game I think has three separate endings, depending on whether you decide to be friends with everyone and win battles by having a chinwag or doing a genocide playthrough which is self-explanatory. There's one in between the two but apparently it's a bit dull if you don't go one extreme.

I decided to go for a pacifism run early on because the game does such a handy job of making you feel a shitbag for killing most monsters. Some have major anxiety issues, some are victims of bullying, some are steroid heads who are easy to tempt into a flexing contest instead of killing them while others just need you to hum along to their singing. It goes hand in hand with the simple but consistent portrayal of the monster's culture being trapped underground for ages. I've no idea how long my genocidal run is going to last with this in mind as apparently the world reacts to you essentially being the angel of death.

Combat even if you decide to be a softie is basically a shmup. With you having to avoid attacks just as if you were playing Ikaruga. The fact attacks are always unique depending on the monster is great and lends just as much character to them as much as lines of dialogue.

Bit of a weak ending imo that red herrings itself one too many times but it's satisfying and doesn't particularly ruin anything. Also music is buff throughout. If you're going to buy you may as well get the soundtrack pack.

Limbo. On my got to finish list. Super late to the party but it is brilliant. Mopped up all the achievements aside from finish in one sitting with 5 deaths or less. Think I'll leave that for now and maybe attempt one lazy afternoon.

Finished FFVII, for the third time ever, the first time in about 12-14 years. Going back as an adult makes it easy to see the issues with it that were hard to see as a kid. I understand why people like VIII more, it was translated more than incompetently for example, but the main story is so fatalistic and full of uncertainty that I was quite surprised. Can't think of too many 'save the world games' that end with the characters having no idea if their plan will even work, and them being told to abandon the pretence of 'saving the world' to instead focus on personal, selfish motivation. Even the ending is suspect (later cleared up by Advent Children) as you don't get to see anyone's fate other than Red XIII and the grassy wreck of Midgar. I found its downbeat but pragmatic nature quite endearing, the goofy humour less so. As ever, the star of the show is the music. Those midi compositions are so evocative, so perfectly pitched, that I am dreading the remake - no amount of HD fussiness or detail will improve on them - as evinced by Advent Children arrangements. I wrote about how much the soundtrack resonates with the themes and moods of the game, here, if you so fancy a short read.

You guys should get on that theatrhythm

See ya

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

Better late than never! Pretty stonking stuff. My only two grips are: 1) it's a bit short. I started up my last save and went straight into the final boss, not realising I was that close. The post-credits stats screen told me I had 10 1/2 hours on the clock. 2) There's no Medium difficulty. Easy has you start with infinite ribbons, three first aid sprays, and a huge arsenal that'd make the US Army blush. On Hard you have a pea shooter and three ribbons. Something in between would have been nice. I chose Easy to avoid frustration and ended up with over 100 grenade rounds before the credits rolled. I never touched the original three first aid sprays and never used the magnum. There's easy and there's a cake walk.

I may also reload my last save and have another go at the final boss.
This just leaves Resident Evil 6 and I'll have done all the main sequence Resi games.

Make sure to bring the grenade launcher to every nemesis encounter otherwise you'll have a bad time.

I did the one prior to the final confrontation with nothing more than a shotgun.

I reckon I could have a damn good shot at a Nemesis speed run, it's so short.

Chris would punch them
