so i fairly recently played Blood on The Clocktower once and shortly after drafted this post titled "blood on the clocktower is good i think", which I never posted because I then played it a second time which gave me a bunch of additional thoughts about the game that superseded my old ones, and then I played it a third time and it wasn't as good that time and unpacking that while also praising the game would be slightly complicated1. And then I played Wanderhome, a game which I've heard really great things about, and the experience was... just okay. But neither the one bad game of Blood on The Clocktower or that game of Wanderhome actually reflect on what I'd call the quality of those games. This has got me thinking about subjectivity again.
