2. My current favorite character is Aloy, from the Horizon series.
I was going to originally say Shepard, from Mass Effect, but Shepard is completely shaped by how you play the game. Aloy has her own personality and is pretty awesome.
3. I still believe that Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West are still quite underrated. They both came out at the same time as other Triple A games. I love the overall story and the gameplay is a ton of fun.
4. Right now my guilty pleasure game is Disney Dreamlight Valley. It's a chill game, i get to hang with some of my favorite characters, plus I get to decorate and just chill.
5. The character I wish I was would have to be the villager in Animal Crossing. I get to own a house, pay of debt with random crap I find, and then have animal friends. Sounds like a good life!
6. The most annoying character is and forever shall be Navi. 1 our of every 300 "LOOK!" or "LISTEN!" exclamations was useful. Then at the end of the game, she just disappears causing Link to fall into a time paradox with a nightmare moon.
I adore them. Some people have pointed out some issues with the story, but TBH I am SUCH a sucker for this combo of sci fi and low tech.... and I just loved every second talking to CYAN and GAIA. They made the characters and AIs interesting if sometimes cartoonish. I'm ok with that.
and then the art direction is just so perfect in its juxtaposition between the two, with lore explanations for practically EVERYTHING you ever come across.
Exactly. The world is so fleshed out, it’s crazy. Plus a concept that takes a post apocalypse story to something new. And then on top of that, you nailed that the juxtaposition is absolutely perfect. Then the various tribes and their beliefs mixed with using what they have available! Chef’s kiss.
