I stared into the visual novel abyss and it stared back

If you are familiar with Choose Your Own Adventure books, then you get the idea behind visual novels. Are these games worth your time?

I don't mind visual novel based games I own all the Nekopara games Code Realize, Song of Memories. I bought Re: Zero because I love the anime the day one collectors edition was worth it and I get to listen to Rem. Since I can't listen to Rem because she is still sawing logs in Season 2 of Re: Zero. Visual Novels may not appeal to a lot of people they are a great time killer and I enjoyed Re: Zero Prophecy of the Throne. If the Rising of the Shield Hero got a visual novel game I would be all over that as well because I also love that anime. I collect visual novel games because I really enjoy anime or anime style games any type of anime based game I will buy it.

Games That Took An Absolutely Bizzare Turn In Their Narrative

Some titles out there focus on introducing a bizarre turn in their narrative. Check out this list for some solid recommendations for those.

"INSIDE" was bloody amazing, and I miss Uncharted's sci-fi and paranormal aspects greatly.

TBH, 3 and 4 still have them, but they are heavily implied, which can be terrifying the more you think about it, but it is admittedly, much less scary and less interesting gameplay-wise than what 1 and 2 have done.

U3 did show the Jinn's "bottle" in the end and the city was pretty f-ing dope. Just a little disappointing that they didn't lean just a bit more on the mythical parts of the series. Uncharted is a world rooted in reality and Drake knowing all these mythical stuff exists could've led into something cool.

I remember being particularly confused by the twist in LA Noire where Cole Phelps is sort of "exposed". If you've played it you know what I'm talking about. It always felt weird and odd because the player is Cole Phelps. How can the player not know about these sorts of things happening with their own character? I felt like it came out of nowhere.

The Elder Scrolls Online and the indy puzzle game Murder by Numbers.

For those that are going to embark on ESO, do take in mind that it uses a "hybrid western/eastern" monetization style. So you have to buy each expansion pass and there is a monthly fee, that while not needed it does give you some QOL improvements.

It's not the worse monetization out there. But the monthly fee does piss off a reasonable amount of people.

There are plenty of things players are upset about with ESO monetization - the completely optional monthly subscription to ESO Plus isn't close to being one that pisses players off. For $15, you get access to every single piece of non-chapter DLC released for the game since 2014. You also get enough Crowns - the currency used in the ESO store - to buy any set of the dungeon DLC you like so you can play them after your subscription ends.
