    The dialogue system alone justifies replaying it.

    I played it right after a breakup, alone most nights, and it matched that mood better than almost anything I'd touched before or since.

    Ambiance oui (mais ça ne suffit pas toujours à tenir un rythme correct)

    344e alors que j'y ai passé environ 60 heures à savourer chaque dialogue, c'est une honte pure et simple pour ce classement !!

    Ah sí, original, como todos dicen

    Curioso que hables de horas invertidas, porque a mí me pasó lo contrario con Stardew Valley, ahí las horas se me pasaron volando sin pesar nada, aquí sentí cada una

    Moi j'ai voulu convaincre mon pote fan de FPS de l'essayer, il a tenu vingt minutes avant de me demander où était le fusil, depuis il me chambre à chaque fois que je le cite en exemple

    Face à ce qui domine le genre aujourd'hui côté narration, il reste largement au-dessus du lot

  5. ComboRunner

    Llevo un rato mirando el puesto 344 y no me cuadra, no sé si es porque el sistema de duelos favorece a los juegos más votados en general o porque simplemente no coincide con juegos tan populares, alguien entiende bien cómo funciona esto del ELO aquí
