That's a really good point, thanks for bringing that up

Its almost like nonsensical parables are a recurring theme in religions in general and we shouldn't be assuming a bunch of mystical morons from a thousand years ago knew any better.

Basic Necron Warriors have always been innumerable and disposable.Their number is legion, their name is death. Lorewise gauss weapons shred their armor i guess, but it's also been inconsistent as they are not always high AP on the table.

Usually if Necron Warriors are portrayed as unstoppable killing machines it's because they were in their pre-5th edition lore where they were on par with space marines, and limited in number because it's always on a Tomb World that is just starting to wake up.

Necrons for sure IMO

Hard disagree because of the bait and switch with both the graphics and gameplay of the game. All people wanted was a reskinned mega man game which is what they billed this as in the kickstarter all those years ago. Then they pivoted to ugly 3d models instead of sprites, and failed to live up to gameplay expectations.

If a game is terrible in terms of fulfilling what it advertised itself to be, IMO that makes it a terrible game.

I just finished Astro Bot and it is a very good game. However, it is very derivative of Mario to the point where it is very clearly a Mario game, except you are collecting PlayStation member-berries instead of stars or whatever.

I loved it, but I have a hard time justifying it as GotY. IMO it should have gone to Wukong or Balatro.

Nuclear waste, bury in the desert for 10,000 years level take.

Don't get me wrong, I loved Animal Well, thought it was a stellar and unique metroidvania, but I don't recall any things that couldn't have been accomplished with Godot or Unity.

Well, they didn't do everything right. There was no marketing for this game and no indication that it had even a single differentiating selling point compared to its already-entrenched competition.

Recently picked up Wyrmspan and it's pretty much a unilateral upgrade over Wingspan. Hope they do it digitally at some point
