I have an ambitious plan, friends. I realized this morning that across my consoles, I have 769 games, most of which I've never played. I'm going to attempt to play one every day and do a quick review of it. This may be a horrible idea.
Oh shit, I forgot to include Switch games. So 769 plus some.
Game 1/769: The Order 1886. This might be one of the most inaccessible games I've ever played.
This game is a no. In addition to these horrible subtitles, it QTEs that are impossible, aim assist doesn't actually do anything, and enemies are just all over with no visual cue. Which is a shame because it's so pretty.
Game 2/769: Fable

I dunno a thing about this one but I just started as a dude named Chicken Chaser so it seems exciting.
Now THESE are some subtitles!
Sure dude. Seems believable.
Cancel the other 767 games. Just gonna play Fable.
Murder Hornets arrived in Albion long before the US apparently.
Game 3/769: Everspace.

Played it for a half hour and spent the whole time wondering when it was going to get interesting or fun, so nope. Moving on.
Game 4/769: Murdered: Soul Suspect.

Apparently in this game, you've murdered people, done some other crimes, and then you become a cop. Which checks out, tbh.
Murdered: Soul Suspect is also a no. Accessibility wise, it's fine for an older game but games where things chase me and I have to hide stress me out and who plays video games to be more stressed?
Game 5/769: Batman: Arkham Knight.

I don't know the first thing about Batman but I AM EXCITED because there are so many outfits in this game!
Started up Batman and saw the most unsurprising thing ever:
This outfit looks like I'm a big boy dressed up for Halloween.
So the subtitles kind of suck and it would have been nice to have some indication that this scene with Joker burning had music so I would have known to not just sit there thinking it was an endless cinematic but Batman: Arkham Knight is a lovely game.
