Finished GRIS a bit ago. What a lovely little experience. Reminded me a lot of Journey in pacing and design. Liked it a lot!
I think I finished it in about 3 hours. There's some light collectibles that would add maybe an hour if you decided to go after them, which I didn't.
possible but the answer is more likely: Twitter

Beat Into the Breach after 10 hours with all 4 islands secured. Now I know why howlongtobeat has it at 4-5 hours for just mainlining it. I'll try doing the final mission after just two islands on my next playthrough.
The idea of dynamically manipulating enemy movements to your advantage is such a novel thing in tactics games for me, and one one hand I feel good taking to it so well that I had a pretty smooth experience in that one run, completing most challenges on every mission and never being close to any of my units dying or the power grid from failing. On the other hand, I never felt that good high tension in barely scraping by a difficult mission like in other strategy/tactics games because of how well I took to Into the Breach's systems. The final mission was... relatively easy and kinda anti-climactic, even with the twist. That's probably going to be remedied by trying out the different mech squads and playing on Hard, but I'll have to put that on hold when I've got a couple more games I wanna finish before the year ends. It was a good time and the one game this year that made me feel real smart, but I'm not yet sure where it falls into my 2018 rankings!
Celeste is up next.

have you ever seen gritty and the cops in the same place?!?!
Hating how RDR1 and GTAV felt are how I knew to stay far away from RDR2.
Alex's rant against Palmer will forever be a top GOTY moment.
Oh shit I just realized that I need to play through Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth By Sleep in the next month and a half. Maybe I can skip KH2, but I haven't played it since release.
Sitting here browsing expensive watches while my SO plays the PC version of Sonic Adventure 2, waiting for some Taco Bell to be delivered to our apartment. #blessed
Gritty is not a cop!

It was one of the greatest rants ever. Love Alex forever for that rant
After finishing GRIS and Celeste, updated GOTY rankings
Far from final tbh. Vampyr and Monster Boy could knock Battletech and BFV off when all said and done.

Actually, Roma is competing with The Thing for best dog performance. There is a very good boy in that movie.
And finding out Gritty is a cop would be like Weird Al getting #MeToo'd. I couldn't handle it.

Boot Odyssey and install Vampyr and you've got yourself a list.After finishing GRIS and Celeste, updated GOTY rankings

The only time I'm not thinking about Doom is when I'm playing Dusk.
They are some of my favorite games to play. Especially when it comes to shooty games.
If Raiden is fighting Metal Gear Ray on a floating platform with no entrance or exit how does Olga, Solidus, Ocelot, Fortune, and Snake show up, and where in Big Shell does that fight happen?
That fight doesn't happen in an actual space, it's in a video game. Like, textually, that space doesn't actually exist. It doesn't make sense and isn't supposed to. The game could maybe do a better job of through Raiden, telling you how fucked up and broken you're supposed to be by that point. Raiden's just kinda passive through most of the cutscenes, like Kojima protagonists tend to be.
there's a point in mgs2 were it stops making much sense and enters this realm of dreamlike interpretation and nonsense
The fight at the end of MGS2 takes place on top of Arsenal Gear. Snake and Raiden exist from inside of Arsenal to the platform. The Rays he fights are in the water surrounding Arsenal. Big Shell was sunk, replaced by Arsenal. Snake and Olga and all the rest show up/leave from inside of Arsenal.
