Yeah speaking of Half Life, this will possibly be a hot take, but Half-Life 2 is insanely overrated IMO.

Granted, I didn't play it til like 2016 on 360 so maybe the graphical spectacle at the time made it more impactful, but it was an absolutely miserable experience for me. The pacing was glacial and shooting felt limp and unsatisfying.

I got as far as that horrible, horrible canal escape that should have lasted 5 minutes but just dragged on and on endlessly, and I just couldn't take it anymore and quit, never to return.

78 for Fire emblem Radiant Dawn is a crazy score. I'm sure it would be at least 84~86 range if released today. The ethos during 7th generation was "gaming need to be easy and accessible to sell to anyone", and this was even more true for Wii Games. There was also a big amount of criticism because a strategy game don't make good use of motion controls, the horror!


78 for Detroit Become Human is also a crazy take. It's easily a high-80 game
