For some reason I could never get myself to pull the trigger on this game. Probably my aesthetic sensibilities. But like yourself, I've heard so much praise for it. Including your own, now :)
We'll see if I give it a shot, thanks for the quality review! 🙏
P.S. Why are you unable to stream with commentary?
I often used to think that games that looked like this was crap for some reason. I guess I was all about them graphics back in the day. Glad I grew out of it!
We live in a small apartment and I have my rig in the living room. Recording would mean picking up the sound from the TV and me talking to myself would be annoying to my girlfriend. I could time recordings and streams to when she's away but I've decided to just chill on it for now. We plan on moving to something bigger within the next year so I'll probably have my own nerd room then.
lol, well I play Stardew Valley, CrossCode, Undermine and more so I don't feel I'm some kind of graphics elitist or anything... just something about Hotline's aesthetic rubs me wrong, lol.
And I totally understand, wishing you a smooth path to your nerd-room! 🙏
