I think I speak for most people when I say that I’m a good representative of the general population.
I haven’t seen this site, but when looking at it just now I saw a review of a game I loved and when I opened it the article was not what I was expecting from a review.
Eastward is probably my favorite video game ever. I actually learned about it from a post here on lemmy a month or two after its release and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it mentioned in the wild since. Gorgeous pixel art, characters you fall in love with, wonderful soundtrack. It’s not for everyone - it’s very dialogue-heavy and a lot of the story is left open-ended - but the world they’ve built is so compelling and packed with emotion. It’s really heartwarming at times and beautifully creepy at other times.
I’m imagining that the author had been saving this digression/rant for the game least in need of a walkthrough.
