  • I wouldn’t say worst, but maybe greatest difference in expectation vs reality - “My Time at Portia”.

    Cutscenes and voice acting were janky. The UI felt like it was originally an MMO and feels odd for a single player game. The gameplay loop felt tedious and seemed to disrespect the player’s time.

    Maybe I needed to give it more time, but for a game that I thought had generally good/great reviews, it wasn’t clicking for me.






  • I bought a cheap pair on Amazon for around $30 just to try the concept out. I actually use them primarily for gaming cause I play a lot of split screen/in the same room with people, so it let’s us talk while I can still hear.

    Couple of notes:

    • Don’t put the volume too high, as they can damage your ears just like regular headphones
    • They are definitely quieter than regular headphones as nothing is blocking your ears.


  • Has Been Heroes. It’s a rougelite where you have to control three heroes across three lanes of action. You have to juggle skills and lanes by rotating the heroes to time attacks and perks. It may be more that it went notices than reviewed poorly.

    One that definitely was reviewed poorly that I loved though was Advent Rising. It’s a scifi 3rd person shooter with the story by Orson Scott Card. It ended up in legal trouble due to a botched prize they did on release. Worst part is it ends on a cliff hanger and they never made the sequel or released the comics that were supposed to add to the story.
