So, I decided that I didn’t want to spend a ton of time reviewing games, even though I think my opinions are awesome. That said, I do want talk briefly about two games I was really excited to play: High on Life and Atomic Heart.
My review: meh. I didn’t complete either game, so take that for what it’s worth.
High on Life was interesting for a little bit, but the jokes went from being amusing to boring pretty quickly. The gameplay was okay, nothing to write home about, but the writing and the world in general made me not want to play.
As for Atomic Heart, this game needed to either have good writing or good gameplay and it had neither. It was a beautiful and super interesting world, but the writing was atrocious. I didn’t like the main character at all, and it really felt like it was edgy for the sake of being edgy. Now I love swearing, but this game just felt like it was written by a preteen who watched their first R-rated movie. The thing I hated the most, other than the horribly unlikable main character, was the horny upgrade station. Such an awkward and off-putting thing to include.
To sum it up: if these games weren’t on Game Pass and I paid for them, I would have been really disappointed.
