i've got a post drafted about it that i'll be probably throwing into the void this weekend but: damn, games & cultural reception to them are things i find very interesting and have a lot of words on
the long & short of it is: looking at what people will pass off as "passable" and "mediocre" tends to be a good showcase of design trends from multiple eras of game design, alongside responses to it. it's neat & should be looked at with a keen eye
i know metacritic score isn't everything ofc! i just have a lot of curiosity for this medium i engage with as people watch me on the internet
