A bad haiku for almost every game I played in 2020.

Batman: The Telltale Series (Season 1)

Interesting ideas

Barely-a-game barely runs

Enjoyed some choices

—–

Control

Great play, bad skill tree

Must get into SCP

Stayed hooked the whole time

—–

Darkwood

Amazing aura

Annoying inventory

Maybe I’ll Youtube

—–

Death Stranding

Walk walk walk walk walk

Get talked at, plot starts, boss, boss

Seventeen endings

—–

Devil May Cry 5

Disposable arms

Movement like dried molasses

Hear music, delete

—–

DJMAX RESPECT

No ceiling in sight

J-Pop haters stay away

Brutal missions though

—–

Elite: Dangerous

So much to go do

If you feel like it I guess

Immersive and not

—–

Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture

Torturous walk speed

Best voicework I’ve heard in games

Worth it for the score

—–

Faeria

Magic with some chess

Booster drafts, my new roguelike

Snappy and soothing

—–

Final Fantasy VII Remake

Drag out everything

Rise up against the poop ghosts

We Kingdoms Hearts now

—–

Final Fantasy XV

Camp out in leather

Road trip across nothingness

Hold circle to win

—–

Gone Home

A touching story

Quintessential walking sim

Nothing more to say

—–

GRIS

Journey but weirder

Worth looking at footage of

Pretty colors, yay

—–

The Last of Us Part 2

Begins halfway through

Shivs are back for some reason

Seventeen endings

—–

Mad Max

Clear out all icons

Get stuck on driving mission

Sated, uninstall

—–

Ratchet & Clank (PS4)

Jump and shoot and laugh

Miss the way games used to be

Kinda bad bosses

—–

Redout

Really fucking fast

Not the Wipeout clone you want

Great modes but no depth

—–

Resident Evil Remake

Psychotic camera

Bring back pre-rendered backgrounds

Hate everything else

—–

Risk of Rain 2

What’s variety

Just see and do the same stuff

Over and over

—–

Sagebrush

Eerie atmosphere

My intro to walking sims

Neat but just okay

—–

Torment: Tides of Numenera

Kind of just a book

But really fascinating

Worst combat ever

—–

Uncharted 4

Thrilling sequences

Elena, best girl in games

What a fun series

—–

Vampyr

Strong starting sequence

Talk talk talk talk uninstall

Great music though

—–

Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Find your playstyle

Party comp doesn’t matter

Keep gitting gudder

—–

What Remains of Edith Finch

Powerful writing

Craziest house tour ever

Loved every minute

Wolfenstein 1 & 2

Bonkers but chilling

Masterclass in editing

Unforgettable
