Haha same mate, crazy thing is that I've never really been into Pokémon, nor into cozy games. And still this game managed to pull me in, they did a great job

Haha yeah I had the same experience with that one. Such a good game, it really deserved all that praise

Same! 🤣

That's a great shout, Pokopia is definitely one that'd normally wouldn't be my type of game either

Oh yes 😂 Love it. It's just my wallet who has been loving it a bit less

This would've probably been my gaming highlight of 2025, had I actually ever finished that article 🫢 Such a beautiful moment, nearly brought me to tears

One of the things I’ve loved most since joining this community is how everyone’s enthusiasm has pushed me to try games outside my usual genres.

-Hades
-Arc Raiders
-Hollow Knight
-Nioh 3
-Monster Hunter

All games I probably wouldn’t have touched before getting "infected" by the hype here 🙏

Love to hear that! Can't believe I never heard of it before, it seems great 😄

Will do! 🫡 Love slow burns, their payoffs are usually well worth the patience

oh REALLY?! Now I'm even more excited

Thanks bro! That's good to hear. I'd never heard of it before, but it sounds like something I'd enjoy 😁

Time to add yet another game to the rotation; Pentiment

I'd also like to be a grown adult but...NO MASS EFFECT?! 😭

That's such a good example! Amazing storyline. We definitely need more of those

Glad you're with us buddy, and happy to hear you're doing well now 🫂

I love how it tells the story through the soundtrack, it really is incredible

Congrats!

People who judge this definitely need to take a step back.

Besides the fact that it's ridiculous: how is one supposed to keep up with problematic accounts when others always dance around the name of said person, for some bizarre reason?

That always gets to me. Just drop the asshole's name 🤷

Yeah I saw this and thought..pass 😂

I could see her being destructive though. She'll be in my main party next playthrough

HOW DARE YOU?!

100%

😂😂 can't say I blame you! If it's any comfort, I'm sure I kept her alive in one of the many additional playthroughs I did 😬

I'll be keeping a close eye on your posts whenever you start it 🫡

Appreciate that bud! We kinda had the same experience with DE, so I wonder if you'd also like this one a bit more

Happy belated birthday man!

PEAK, enjoy! Such an amazing game

Glad to hear that! And yes, that's how it's supposed to be. Unfortunately that's not always easy 😬

Hopefully you'll get to them, would be interesting to see your thoughts! Especially since DE and this one have been quite divisive

Thanks mate! 2 and True Colours are definitely not needed, the only thing you'll miss are some easter eggs and small references, nothing important story wise.

They're still good games though! But nothing has beaten that first one

She looks awesome! 🔥
Sorry to hear about those past 10 days. A weekend of no obligations is one to look forward to 😁

Crimson Desert Makes Me Question The Line Between “Good” and “Addictive” in Video Games I’ve always found the use of the word “addictive” in gaming discussions to be pretty interesting, because for the most part, it’s a word very scarcely used in any sort of po…

As gamers, we use "addictive" in purely positive terms. Balatro is great and "addictive" as an example.

As I put 35+ hours into Crimson Desert over the past several weeks, I started to wonder... is this game any good, or am I just "addicted"?
