I dare say this is starting to look like a somewhat respectable collection! For now I'm caught up on both the Junji Ito and Berserk releases so my wallet can rest for a few months. ...or I could just find something else to start collecting. JoJo and Vinland Saga both have some really nice hardcover editions... Really excited to reread Berserk, though. It's been so long, I don't really remember anything beyond the Golden Age. Or how far into it I actually got.

Yes, much better, but it's still nothing special, just passable, but you also barely need to do it, so it's fine.

The problem I had with Crysis 1 this time around was specifically the aiming with a controller, so I imagine that wouldn't have been an issue with a mouse (but I am a man of culture, so I will only use a controller ). I did play a little of Crisis 1 on PC when it first came out, bounced off fairly early just because it just wasn't great then either. I went back because I keep hearing people say they're good games, but I just don't see it. But I mean I wouldn't even have an opportunity to scope out the area to plan an ambush because the instant I decloaked they'd know where I was and start attacking, even if I was crouched behind a concrete barrier on a rooftop a block away.

Crysis 3 was five hours long. I beat it in one evening and I couldn't tell you what was in it if you put a gun to my head.

Horizon Forbidden West This game is just like the first, but better in every way, so if that appeals to you then I highly recommend it. Everything just feels more fleshed out, and more refined. The only complaint I have about it is that there's maybe a bit too much game here (took me just shy of 69 hours, nice), but everything that's there is really done well. I'm especially impressed with how they managed to avoid things feeling repetitive. Every side quest, every "errand" (as they call the mini quests that don't even get to be full side quests) feels unique. And even the main quest, which at first glance looks like it will follow the rule of three, ends up keeping it varied quite well. They never fall into a pattern, and that keeps everything feeling fresh. I can't wait for the next one. Grade: A+
