Elden ring. Repetitive, ugly, boring. I don’t think I made it past the wasteland you start in but I never saw anything worth seeing and the dying over and over gameplay is frustrating for me, not fun. I played for a couple of hours and just gave up on it, i saw no progress or any story, just repetitive killing

Expedition 33 has good gameplay. However, the whole game feels like generic Unreal Engine 5 assets taken from a fromsoftware fan's portfolio were mashed together.
Also it looks like crap (from a technical standpoint) on steam deck and I can't change the settings how I like.

Expedition 33, but I'm sure other people think that about Silksong or Hundred Line.
I love the pictos system, it's the best thing about it and I hope other JRPGs take it, almost every pickup you find is good. Resuable consumables are cool, and the first two hours or so is cinema (even on Steam Deck with crappy settings). The rest is just good to flawed by the middle of Act 2, especially parrying (I'm decent at it, but I'd rather either play an action game where it's deeper, or a JRPG where it doesn't intrude on strategy)

any game that is very short for its cost. plus i saw re6 and its just dragging on the boss battles(like making them very hard to kill) to prolong the game. SWSH to recent pokemon game, knew the slop in the beginning never bought into the future switch games, and it turns it gets worst every game. by the way the gamefreaks ceo said it was going to be SLOP after slop, but people bought it anyways.
The new Silent Hill 2.
The use of DLSS makes it look like a fugly, smudged mess unless you're totally motionless. The combat is inconsistent; hit a monster, it gets stunned but then jankily cancels the stun animation to grab you or attack through your attack so it hits you but you don't hit it.
Not sure what is better than the original other than the graphics when standing still. Even the voice acting is the same not good delivery as the OG, despite having been re-done.
Paradise Killer.
Amazing soundtrack that is on repeat with the greatest in my playlist, but terrible character design and condescending to the player character.
Too bad.
Condescending in what way?
