    This is my favorite game, ever.

    Well, video game anyway.

    Why? It’s just silly enough, just simple enough, but also just challenging enough for that perfect casual gaming range that I prefer.

    It’s almost like a game developer went looking to make something I can play even when I’m not in the mood to play.

    What’s kinda weird is that the first few times I played it with my kid and wife, I didn’t like it. I’ve never liked first person play at all. But after a while, I got used to the and could actually kick back and enjoy the vibe.

    Besides, there’s a quest in one section where the first half is all a set-up for a Sepultura reference. How the fuck can I not love that? Like, you know that whoever was working on that part was high as fuck, listening to the specific track, and went “heh heh heh, this is gonna be awesome”, and drops in the punchline that’s so subtle you don’t catch it unless you know the band and are paying attention.

    It’s basically a game built good borderlands fans that are also d&d geeks.
