A one of a kind experience

This game is just an incredible experience with easy achievements, but a hard hitting story.
I just love everything about it, no matter if characters, music, visuals,... I just had such a great time playing and can't wait to start my next play throughs as there still are a lot of things to discover.
Life is Strange is also my second game I have ever cried in (First one was Mass Effect 3), yet in this even more tears were shed. This game made it into my heart and onto my list of my favourite video games of all times...
It is one of the games that has impacted me a lot more than first anticipated. From the characters, the story over the graphics to the soundtrack, this piece of videogame history has impressed me and still impresses me.
At time of writing this review I'm onto my 12th playthrough, sitting at 170 hours and I still cannot stop playing. Diving into this world and living every moment with Max Caulfield, time warrior, just does not get old and brings me to tears every playthrough (literal tears).
I love this game so much…

Team Fortress 2, a game that has me return to it so often in my thousands of hours of playing it.

It's rare for a game to make me feel as much as Tf2 has. I laughed, yelled, cried and felt empty…

This is both a love and a hate letter to this more than 14 year old piece of video game history.
While I came rather late to the party, with my first time playing being 10 years ago, prior to the Tough Break Update, and even losing two Steam Accounts never made me stop playing Team Fortress 2 for a long time.
Only the lack of a device to run the game made me stop playing this game for 4 years.

My very first contact with the game was watching some gameplay of Harvest on a friend's computer screen back in like 2008/9. It would take 6-7 years until I first played the game myself with the map I started on being Coal Town as Pyro. The years flew by with me exploring the game more and more, meeting many people, some I even know until today and have grown very fond of.
My main Pyro changed to Engineer to no main at all before, after my return from a four year pause, I found my calling in Medic…our favourite psychopathic healer from Germany. And oh boy, what an experience it is.

Being the only proper healing class in a game full of manchildren, furries, racists, uncommunicative teammates and the enemy team really pulls on your nerve strings. While I don't condone bad behaviour, Medic are the ones that I understand the most, when yelling at their team…. Sometimes you just stand in the midst of the battlefield, blood running down your face (a mix of teammate's, enemies’s and your own) as your fellow mercenaries run around, mostly getting destroyed by the opposite side. You breath in deeply, the shining light of a crit flying towards your eyes as you feel the whole enemy team charge your position; a mixture of vodka, scrumpy and patriotism in the air; and as you get stabbed, meat shot, exploded, turned to shreds,…you look up at the sky, yelling why? Why? Why did I choose to play Medic?
Why did I? Oh, because despite the downs every player has the high moments that come with playing this game make it all the more worth it. The moment, when you hit a crossbow air shot, hear a simple Z+2 (Thank you), get a sandvich, ubering a teammate as they mow down enemies, compliments or standing at the end of a match with your name at the top the scoreboard; no matter victory or defeat.
I especially want to thank the Heavy players as they have been the best teammates out of all classes in my, at the moment of writing this, over 373.8 hours of Medic. Your “Thank you”s and sandviches are a real treat.
Outside of the game I want to thank the voice actors:
-Nathan Vetterlein
-Rick May (You will be missed.)
-Dennis Bateman
-Gary Schwartz
-Grant Goodeve
-Robin Atkin Downes
-John Patrick Lowrie
-Ellen McLain
-Nolan North
-Stephen Merchant
-Ashly Burch
-JB Blanc
for creating such amazing vocal work.
Further thanks go to:
-Mike Morasky (composer) for the grand music
-The whole development team of Team Fortress 2 (Especially thank you for being so patient with us as a community and for pumping out such amazing content.)
-Valve for publishing this masterpiece
-Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington for founding Valve
-Gabe Newell for being an absolute god in the world of gaming


Of course I also want to thank the community for so much fun in the past, the present and the future; but also a big screw you from my Medic main heart. I love you all!

My final thank you goes to the friends I made in Team Fortress 2.
🫂A very big thank you to eksmad and Daniel V. for being my longest friends from the game. 🫂

And now, it's time to bring this to an end. I'm needed back on the battlefield of Mountain Lab, Gorge, Thunder Mountain,...

Zank you!
