Wrote Haikus for the pros and cons of each games I played in 2020.

This was inspired by u/Teehokan ’s original post.

Some cool set pieces

Great cameo at the end

Decent EA game

Frustrating controls

Walk too far? Mission failed.

Gameplay is clunky

Shocking, immersive

Would you kindly play this game?

It’s a work of art.

Generic last boss

Can’t dual-wield guns and plasmids

It gets worse from here

Much improved combat

Cool premise for a villain

You’re a Big Daddy

Not enough new things

The DLC is better

Had no attachments

Beautiful setting

Somewhat ties to the first game

Cool twist at the end

Worst combat of all

Convoluted conclusion

DLCs’ better

Uncharted 4 (May) 8/10

Great performances

The best movie game I’ve played

Fitting conclusion

________________________________________________

Dumb twist at the end

More of a movie than game

Gameplay got boring

Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D (June)- 8.5/10

Dark and creepy tone

Innovative and unique

Ideal sequel

Feels dated of course

Got lost a lot; looked up guides

Not for everyone

The Last of Us 1 (June)- 9/10

Fun stealth and combat

Convincing relationships

Joel's a great protag

AI can be dumb

Guys with guns don't drop bullets

Ellie rarely helps

Boring enemy designs

Very shitty map

Bloodborne + DLC (August) 10/10

Trick weapons are dope

Lots of build options

Estus over blood vials

Useful bonfires

Hate managing weight

Uninteresting weapons

Farron Keep’s swamp sucks

Sekiro (Oct 25-Dec. 15)- 9.5/10

Polished progression

Terror is stupid

Too much working Joe's

Fun secrets and progression

Mindless run and gun

Didn’t draw me in

Not into FPS games

Good, but not for me

I am starting 2021 off with playing Nioh and maybe AC: Unity. What are you all playing?
