The Stanley Parable is an odd narrative game, where you are effectively given instructions by the narrator.  As an office worker, you suddenly realise that everyone else has disappeared, and it feels that the point of the game is to understand why.  If it were a traditional game, that would be the case. The game is most fun, or rather funny, when not following instructions.

It seems a little contrived to say it's completed, really, since I can see that there are over half the moons I am yet to discover, and the game is still throwing new ideas at me each time I play. However, Peach has been rescued, Bowser is defeated, and the world is a better place.

I had some questions before, and I have now answered them. Do I need to travel to the future after destroying the machine in the past, or is it sufficient to just explode the generator?

With Breath of the Wild, and then also Tears of the Kingdom, the game felt huge because of the size of the world, the enormity of the task, and the freedom you had to approach it how you wanted. Breath of the Wild actually…

When Headhunter came out on the Dreamcast, it was when the format was dying and games were being reduced to silly prices in HMV.

It was not good for the games themselves, since I had such an abundance of choice that I would not commit more than an hour or so to anything in particular.

Back in April, when I completed Vice City, I posited that I might try playing San Andreas in "a few months". It has now been a few months, and I'm not playing it. I have a bit of a mental blocker on that game, partially around the setting, but also because I remember when it was released that there were countless reviews evangelising the detail they'd gone into, with you needing to regularly work out to keep fit, and eat healthily, and so on.
