just for a bit of context this is because I saw a viral post of bullet points where someone wished they could suggest the “worse” game compared to a “better” game because they liked it more and I feel Iike that’s where an “objective” review mindset is literally stopping you from enjoying yourself

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Here’s why you shouldn’t pull your punches as a writer:
A big part of the appeal of a book is how dedicated the author is to their idea.
That crackling energy only comes from compulsion, the true driver of creativity.
Restrain it at your own peril.

So you say you're glad that he's frozen in there and we're out here. And that he's the sheriff. And that you're frozen out here. And you're in there. But oh, you just remembered - you're out here.

Randomly did a run of Majora's Mask, and am always astonished by the end of that game where, amidst Tingle throwing confetti and weddings and celebrations, you have one character mourning next to their dead son -- because no matter how many times Link rewinds, he can't save everyone. Still great
