    I picked it up during a slow winter, mostly to see what the fuss was about, and ended up staying up way too late just to see the creature safe.

    no lloré, me destrozó, y no exagero nada

    VinylRex

    wait, staying up for a creature's safety over a random weekend rental? that's a big ask for a controller you're fighting the whole time

    GlitchPilot

    pareil pour moi, sauf que c'était pas l'hiver mais un été où je bossais de nuit, et j'y jouais au réveil avant de dormir

    I'll admit the camera nearly ended our friendship more than once, but somehow I still recommend it to anyone who'll listen, my track record with taste is questionable at best.

  4. Rae_1990

    I rented it on a whim one weekend, expected the usual adventure loop, and mostly remember fighting the controls more than the ruins.

    Destinee_94

    Same weekend feeling for me, curled up on the couch after a rough month, controls fighting back didn't ruin it, they just made the creature feel more real somehow.

    QuestDragon93

    Replying to Destinee_94

    the controls fighting back is real, the part where you still worry about the creature anyway is also real

  5. Iron_Mitchell

    185 duels and a 64% win rate says the ranking undersells it badly.
