In a year full of sequels, another AAA Edo-period Japan game, and yet another PS revenge story... Ghost of Yotei feels skippable.
But I really, really enjoyed my time with it.
It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but that's fine? It's yet another solid game from Sucker Punch. Perhaps snubbed for GoTY.

Ghost of Yotei is PlayStation's best revenge story to date
REVIEW: It may have been snubbed for Game of the Year, but this masterclass in restraint, humanity and storytelling justifies its premium price tag.

Me and my wife were shocked how much cheaper T-Mobile is compared to Verizon. We’ve been with Verizon from the get go and it just got to be too much.

Everybody is getting excited over that Geoff / PR stunt saying it’s a new God of War or Half-Life 3… and it’s most likely a new Diablo IV dlc expansion

Glassbreakers is a tabletop VR game set in the charming fairytale world of Moss. This review was as much an ode to the wonders of virtual reality as it was an analysis that I thoroughly enjoyed. I hope you do too.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
