One of the best puzzle games I've played. There's so much more to offer than initially appears, and swapping theories with a friend as we ran through it together was the highlight of my day for a while. Just when you think you finally really understand what's going on, this game continuously pulls the rug out from under you again and again. There's an extremely satisfying cycle of thinking you've figured everything out and realizing you don't understand anything yet.

An extremely thoughtful game about everything and nothing at the same time.

I shouldn't be surprised that this was good, considering how good Pony Island and Inscryption were. But this was still surprisingly good.

It's like guitar hero if guitar hero was actually good

It's very obviously heavily inspired by Hollow Knight, but that's not a bad thing. It has its own distinct identity, it's really fun to just move around in the world, and the character writing is pretty decent.

Thanks to this game, I now know how to spell "Richard".

Gives the same sense of discovery and epiphany as games like Outer Wilds and Return of the Obra Dinn. Really interesting premise and great execution.

That boy ain't right.

While not as expansive as the first game, Below Zero has a very dense environment to explore and a more involved narrative. Being able to explore both land and sea is an interesting premise, as well.

I don't think this game has the same impact if you play it without playing the original Subnautica, but it still stands up well on its own.

Haven't played a Dark Souls game before, but maybe that's for the better. Went in not knowing what to expect and it was an amazing experience. Some bosses seem insurmountable but when you learn how to deal with them and finally win, you feel so empowered. Every boss, with perhaps one exception, feels difficult but fair, and taking damage almost always feels like your fault instead of the game's fault.
