 Very well written piece! I look forward to reading more, I zapped you manually because for some reason I couldn't do it here 🤷🏻‍♂️ ✌🏼

 Thank you, good sir!
Yeah, the most difficult part is writing about it in a way that spoils virtually nothing about the game itself, so the player still gets to experience the full impact. I will likely do the same for "The Talos Principle" or "Disco Elysium" one day.

 I looks forward to that, those are both games on my radar (although I rarely have time for games these days 😅) Nier is a game I always overlooked due to the Waifu looking image, but maybe i'll have to give it a chance some day. If you've ever heard of the game "Control" it's good at exploring supernatural/psychological ideas and the nature of black gov. Operations. Currently playing through, good fun 👍🏻 I also usually only play games these days when they contain some depth.

 Yup, played Control! I enjoyed the heavy conspiratory vibe and the gameplay was pretty good. It had its moments but it didn't leave a lasting impression on me unfortunately. The first thing that comes to mind was how freaky that hotel area felt haha.

 Yeah I feel you, it's certainly not that philosophically deep, but it explores some interesting ideas (quantum physics/alternate realities) and has a fairly unique gameplay style, so i'm digging it for now. 😁
