That’s a valid question, especially with AI coding being so prevalent.

There has been a lot of data mining in the past few months that indicates they are working on something that has yet to be released, which is very likely a Half Life game. I’ve been watching the HLX Files series by Tyler McVicker for a while as he sticks to just facts without much hype.

Like you I could not get into it, but I gave it the old college try. Got about eight hours in and can’t get a refund now.

1. Earthbound. I replay it every few years for nostalgia and just a feel good game.
2. Xenogears. Hands down one of the best stories for an RPG.
3. SOMA. The dark, post apocalyptic world is so gritty, I just love it. The ending really left me speechless.
