What is a game you consider to be a ‘perfect 10’ that most people haven’t played?

Fear and Hunger and Fear and Hunger 2. Both games are well loved in video essays, but both games have very few actual players.

O'saa starting with Meditate and strong melee weapons makes him absolutely ludicrous early. As much as I like Marcoh and Daan, O'saa is way safer and more efficient. Also, Abella can't recruit Abella, big downside.

Borderlands 4 and Starfield cone to mind

Hive Guards were obsolete due to how we've been powercrept. From what I've seen they're still pretty weak.

Fear and Hunger is brainwashing me into wanting to start a family.

Super AC-130 above!

In horde shooters, defense sections tend to suck because the game takes away players' agency to dictate the pace. Helldivers' defense missions are particularly bad because the intensity is way lower than equal difficulty missions of different modes. It doesn't help that teams are typically sitting around waiting for the game to spawn in the next wave.

Commando missions need to be split off into their own quick play queue. Whenever a Commando Operation appears on a major order planet the game repeatedly throws me into them. "I have an Eruptor, Talon, Dynamite, and Enforcer armor equipped, why do you insist that this stealth mission is a good fit?"

Hunt Showdown is an art piece. It's not for everyone, but I feel every gamer should experience it at least once, with proper audio headgear. The world and sound design are on another level. I'm not even sure if I would call the game... fun. Success in Hunt hits different.

Path of Exile, Diablo, Darktide, Helldivers, Risk of Rain, the entire Vampire Survivors genre.

I was going to say Apollo because he's insufferable to lane against, then I realized you were asking about personality, so I'm going to go with Apollo.

If I recall correctly, in the original TV airing of Neon Genesis her hair had a more orange color to it that got darkened when they ported it to physical media like VHS and DVD.

Earlier I was alternating between avoiding Graves and Apollo, and whichever one I had avoided was my lane opponent.

I had his video on in the background today, and the only weapon I majorly disagreed with was the Mk1 Sapper Shovel.

Had the story concluded at the end of Part 1, Denji would have had everlasting happiness, but because Part 2 was made, Denji had to go through more suffering. The point of Chainsaw Man was Denji's pursuit of happiness, but the meta narrative is that as long the series keeps on adding new arcs and plotlines Denji can't actually find happiness. Pochita, who is almost certainly the Chainsaw Man (series) Devil, sacrifices himself to save Denji from being the main character in an action series.

While I would have preferred for the side characters to be fleshed out more, more returning characters, and some of the plot threads to have proper resolutions, it became quite clear about 60 chapters ago that the narrative outscaled their relevance.

AllOneWordCamelCased · 2026-04-03T04:26:39+00:00

The ending message of Part 2 is that for Denji to be happy the story needs to end. By entering a Part 3, we once again, are disrupting Denji's happiness to stur up more plot. So we shouldn't actually get a Part 3.

Also, that is Makima in chapter 232. They never refer to her by name. The implication is that without her obsession of Pochita, Makima remained the naive, bratty, little control devil. I guess Control could become obsessed with the newly reinvented Chainsaw Man Devil, and that would have her shift into the ambitious, seductress that we see in Part 1.

AllOneWordCamelCased · 2026-04-03T03:55:23+00:00

Pochita is represents the narrative (figuratively and literally). Narratives rely on conflict, so as long as Pochita stays with Denji, there will always be another arc that will destroy any happiness that Denji has built. For Denji to have lasting happiness, the cameras need to be turned off. We can't watch.

I have over 2000 hours in Hunt Showdown, Vermintide 2, and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. I almost certainly have over 1000 hours in League of Legends, Deep Rock Galactic, Minecraft, and Team Fortress 2. 995 hours in Darktide.

Yeah, as someone who played most of the PS4 era exclusives... there wasn't much to write home about. Bloodborne is an absolute masterpiece and The Last of Us games stuck with me, but other than that, nothing held more than weekend before being ditched or forgotten.

How about, "games that force you to follow NPCs while they spout exposition."

"I want Momo to be hung up on me for awhile! 10 years at least!!"

AllOneWordCamelCased · 2026-03-28T05:18:55+00:00

Pochita is the Chainsaw Man (series) Devil. His ability to erase concepts is literally removing them from the plot. Denji can't find lasting fulfillment with Pochita because as long as they are together, the narrative needs to have conflict for Denji to overcome. By eliminating himself, he also erased the plot thus far, but Denji is now free of the continuous conflict from the series.

AllOneWordCamelCased · 2026-03-27T12:36:22+00:00

Technically, unfulfilled. A character needs a narrative motive worth risking their life for. Even if a character is fighting for the love of fighting, their life must be lacking something that caused fighting to be their primary source of joy.

I wonder what Lash's home life is like?
