Has-Been Heroes has a 53 on metacritic.I don't just think this game is good, I think it's phenomenal. It was my GOTY 2017. It was just reviewed for the completely wrong audience (Switch gamers lookin...

@kemuri07: very much disagree that its poetic justice. I think its more the metaphysical world they live in. but we can agree to disagree. it is a very complicated work of art.

I'm a little disappointed to see people thinking J SPOILER Did you see this before playing? Cuz on paper I can see this seeming like a pretty bad story. But in execution, there is so much more going ...

It's so easy to tell that people that say "the writing is bad" or "characters don't make sense" haven't played through the game. Especially when you can go back and see they were making these stateme...

@nodima: okay. I hear you. I did not want to be taken away from Ellie at that moment either. The game wants you to feel that way too. But the game is also being structurally experimental here, too. An...

About Me

"Video games are the first stage in a plan for machines to help the human race, the only plan that offers a future for intelligence. For the moment, the inseparable philosophy of our time is contained in the Pac-Man. I didn't know when I was sacrificing all my hundred yen coins to him that he was going to conquer the world. Perhaps because he is the most perfect graphic metaphor of man's fate. He puts into true perspective the balance of power between the individual and the environment. And he tells us soberly that though there may be honor in carrying out the greatest number of victorious attacks, it always comes a cropper." - Sans Soleil (1983)
