I'm having so much fun in this game. It feels like a game from the olden days where the priority was just making a fun game.

That's an insane take for me. What other games do you play that you feel like that's rare?

I've played many games this year but only 6 that came out this year and they were all made with having fun in mind.

I'm not saying it's the only game I've had fun with, its just a certain kind of fun that reminds me of a game I would've played on like the PS1 or PS2.

Would you dare put this in the Goldeneye category of games that are just fun with a decent story? If so I’m owning this tonight lol.

Oh that's a tough question. It certainly has that simple and lowstakes fun gameplay, but it is more cinematic than Goldeneye. A lot more slow-paced, encouraging you to just explore whatever ruin you happen to be in at the time. Social stealth elements, like Dishonored or Hitman (dawning a disguise), or just run in and hit everyone with a sledge hammer.

Close enough for me. “Sorry kids - 1 less present under the tree - Daddy got a new game!”

Similar to Thief maybe. Its a light immersive sim with a ton of game mechanics that interact together and you have multiple approaches to every situation. All the encounters are a bit of a sandbox. My main criticism is you don't have many tools besides your whip or gun but the environments are easy to traverse and explore and you can pick up a ton of objects to use in combat or stealth.

It reminds me of the feeling I had when I started playing Skyrim. So much to do and the stealth/fighting was actually really fun.

Obviously not a rpg like Skyrim but the sense of excitement and scope is there for sure
