I loved this game. Funny, not too long. Feels like playing D&D with your friends.
The original and a fantastic game. The blueprint for something greater.
This is the first game I can remember being absolutely hype with anticipation for and boy did it pay that hype off. Amazing. A triumph. I loved bringing that spiral bound tome of a manual around to read about it. Truly formative for me.
One of the greatest games of all time and a perfect heir to the throne. Builds on what came before and adds more, more than I ever thought possible.
One of the best RPGs of all time. Stylish, funny, great systems. I don’t have anything to say that hasn’t been said already.
Bioware operating at full Force (get it?) Still holds up actually.
Not quite as memorable as the first but another strong one.
An all time classic. The time pressure is kind of the best and worst thing about this game. You kind of wish you had a more relaxed time to explore and take it all in, but it also drives the game forward and provides urgency.
I listened to a podcast recently, Triple Click, and they had the concept of a canon that they would come back to: ten games that are an example of what they like in games so someone could understand their perspective. I thought this was a fun idea! Another thing I liked was that this was a living document, it was meant for you to come back and update it to show how you've changed.
