cotm is kind of a middling game with a bad final boss

Yeah tbh that final boss is mostly what sours me on the game, especially since I barely got any of the drat cards in my playthrough.

I played through it again recently and found that I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I did back in the day.

It's still underrated though.

Game Of The Month is Batman: Return To Arkham: Arkham City. Still a good game. Noticing how fuckin bad the supplemental collectable story things are this time around though. Also happy to report that they took no effort to fix the freeze grenade floating glitch and you can still break out of Arkham into Gotham and fly directly through the non-solid Wayne Building and poo poo. I’m going to get all of the trophies again. :cool: I think after that i am going to start a fresh file on Arkham Knight and finally finish it up, even though the Batmobile poo poo is the wooorrrst

Six Ages in a landslide

It came out at the end of June but that means nobody was talking about it until early July but it's by far the best game to come out in the june 25th-july 25th or so gotm judging period

now if it would only come out on a real platform

Oh I was gonna play Octopath if it turned out to be at least a little bit more upbeat and cheery than the trailer made it look but I never followed up

Is the game just a massive depressing trudge or did it turn out more positive than that? I don't need the entire thing to be happy but I don't like nothing but negativity either

It's a mix of both depending on whose story you're doing and you can do any story at your leisure.

I wanted to like this game so bad, and I kept waiting for it to get more than competent, and then it ended.
