What?! A (mostly) positive take on Xbox Game Pass in October of 2025?! No way!

For the curious 59 hours 42 minutes,
ALL ON LETHAL*

*except for the final boss fight because I just wanted the game to end at that point

Despite my issues with it, I had done majority of the side stuff already so I felt compelled enough to get that Platinum Trophy

That's a wrap on Ghost of Yotei.

Ghost of Yotei reconfirms my (maybe controversial?) take that you need to finish a game, primarily a narrative driven game, to properly review it.

Ask me 25 hours in, I would've told I loved this game.

Ask me 25 hours later and I would not speak very highly of this game.

I've now rolled credits on Yotei 55 hours later and I can now confirm that the story sucked in an otherwise really fun game.

Part of me is starting to wonder if The Last of Us Part 2 broke Sony first party or if Naughty Dog are the only ones in that space willing to be bolder with their narratives.

Yeahhhh, Ghost of Yotei's story is NOT hitting.

(I'm on chapter 3 for reference)

When did game developers start deciding to only play cutscenes at 30fps and why aren't we doing more to stop this?

Alex Miles @abrownspot.bsky.social · 1d

The more I look at my Xbox+Steam library the more I realize the ROG Ally X would be a game changer for me...

But not for $1000 god no.

Can't alert the guards if there are no guards to alert...

Also it's insane (but like in a cool way) that you can play the game for like 45 hours before you get the ability to see enemies through walls and stuff that makes stealth like 5x easier.

The Kitsune quest line actively makes Ghost a Yotei a worse game.

Whoa, that is weird!

Peacemaker Season 2 clearly has come to the same issue that GotG Vol. 2 had.

It has to follow up a project that took people by surprise with how great it ended up being.

Both Peacemaker S2 and GotG Vol. 2 took a more character driven approach that I will always appreciate more than flashy action 🤷

You know as cool as the concept of an Assassin's Creed set during the Reconstruction Era sounds I don't think even for one second that UBISOFT would be able to tell a story as genuine or impactful as it would need to be to tackle those particular subject matters.

Nice try Square! I'll be waiting for the three pack when Part 3 is out!

You have to be a grade A nerd to know why this is funny. I'll admit I laughed.

At this point KF should just go back to unscored reviews, people still give the numbers more value than the actual words in a review DISCUSSION.
