elden ring - it's honestly baffling that a game with a scope like this can hit the nail on the head so masterfully. the massive world feels so....perfectly saturated. it doesn't feel like it's trying too hard to avoid feeling shallow. in a vacuum, this is the best souls game.
Inscryption - the actual game is really engaging, but in terms of the full package i felt underwhelmed. i went into this expecting something that'd absolutely floor me, but i got a fun card game attached to an above average but still run of the mill found footage conspiracy plot
