My roommate kept walking past the couch making comments about how tense I looked, and by the third night she just sat down and started watching properly, we ordered food and didn't talk about anything else that weekend.

Vous allez me dire que c'est pas pareil, mais moi aussi j'ai eu droit aux soupirs de mon coloc à chaque mort.

Compared to what's coming out on other consoles right now in the genre, this still holds its own without breaking a sweat, movement alone beats most recent attempts.

I've replayed this more than I'll admit and I'll defend its spot every single duel, no shame here.

Every duel someone says no shame, and every duel I nod along and change nothing about my vote.

I've put maybe six or seven hours into it total, in short bursts after work, and I still haven't finished planet ZDR, so I'll be honest, I don't really get why it sits this high against stuff like Ori. The parts I've played are solid but nothing's blown me away enough to justify the ranking yet.

I remember picking it up right after a breakup, which is probably the worst possible state to fight through a planet full of things trying to kill you, but I think it helped more than it hurt, though I'm not totally sure I'd recommend the timing to anyone else.

Pareil, sauf la partie breakup.

rough timing but same feeling here, it stuck with me too
