Everything about this game wows me. The visuals, the writing, the characters, the world. It plays like the most well written, most epic-scaled TTRPG campaign that could ever exist, with all of the good points and none of the bad. I'm playing both solo and co-op, with mods and without, and this game continues to amaze regardless. It's not just your party members, potential and actual, who are well fleshed out either. There's recurring NPCs all throughout. Even Mister Barcus Wroot who you first meet when he's tied to a windmill can cross paths with you again and again in such an organic way that you're more likely to say "Oh look who it is!" than "What the hell are you doing *here*?"

For goodness sake, it took us roughly 40 hours to finish ACT ONE in our 2-player co-op game! Act one of THREE! And we have enjoyed every second. I strongly recommend this game, both to people who love sword-and-sorcery TTRPGs and those who *want* to love them but have difficulty doing so.

Steam says I have 64 hours but I actually have 566 total, counting time played prior to the migration. Destiny 2 is a beast of a game. If you're starting now, you have enough content ahead of you to play daily for a year and maybe not catch up. Some of it is lackluster, sure but the vast majority is engaging, enjoyably grindable, and best of all it's populated even a year or more after the DLC that introduced it!

If you don't want to bother with 'outdated' content, fret not, you can get up to currently relevant stat and power levels pretty easily and join veterans in playing raids and other endgame content.

Destiny is a gem. There's no other game that quite scratches the same itch in the same way. For me, I love that the game has satisfying gunplay and is also deep with rich lore. Collecting the lore is a journey unto itself and sometimes involves going through relevant activities to find the lore you're seeking. It often feels like you're following in the footsteps of larger-than-life characters with plenty of opportunities to become one yourself.

The original Portal was beyond all expectations. but this sequel exceeded /logic/. Why so many amazing things fit into this one game is beyond me. From the ingenious new puzzles to the new puzzle elements and the surprizingly fun co-op, this game is a must-play for anyone who wants some ridiculously fun brain-strain.

Textbook definition of Epic. Larger-than-life heros, larger-than-a-house dragons, and a larger-than-I-have-any-reasonable-time-to-explore world. I've not regretted a single moment playing this game. From the expansive Dwemer ruins underground to the very Throat of the World, every inch of Skyrim has something special about it and you will crave the elation of discovering a new locale. There's hundreds. Enjoy.
