Figured I did one in June, I might as well do one in December! I've been trying to stick with single games as much as I could this year, but some were so long (but so great) that I was a little unfaithful here and there and started others mid-game...
Been working on Blasphemous 2 for a while now. It's a --GREAT-- game and I love the gore and the imagery, I'm just not too 'hardcore' these days and have switched to less demanding games in the middle of it...
Wanted something a bit more light-hearted and different paced, so...
You can't get more 'fluff-y' than a Marvel property, so Guardians of the Galaxy it is!
I was torn in starting this one... I love Harry Potter and have read and re-read the series multiple times...JK Rowling's transphobic rants and general disposition spoiled the game for me when it came out... Personal tragedy and major sickness both struck me at the same time and weakened my resolve... I found myself longing for a little magic, and boy-oh-boy does this game fit the bill! I can't say I've ever seen a studio take an existing ip and build such an in-depth and lore-encompassing game around it. Really captures the curiosities and spirit of the books in such a way, I can't put it down!
