I’m the sort of weirdo that sees a movie-length game review and am desperate now to find other weirdos who got just as excited about it to play Blighted Reach.

@AwesomeLowlander @db0 It’s not a review, it really is an essay asking “why is it like that?” and “why can’t I say clearly whether I have fun playing it?”
And the tl;dw (I think) is that it’s based heavily on Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series. It’s telling a story with a narrative arc, with you as the protagonist, and great stories can be many things, but they don’t always need to be “fun”.
But it’s also an amazing video essay, wonderfully produced, and is a great watch.
I personally love emergent gameplay and emergent storylines, however I am not into TTRPGs anymore. Blighted Reach seems like it would create an amazing emergent multi-generational storyline around a mechanically tight and enjoyable BG and I think that sounds awesome!
