Discussion / Question What game is this for you?

Honestly for me it's Life is Strange: True Colors. Love that game to death, an incredible story and soundtrack, but it seems like a story that just doesn't vibe well with a lot of people. Listen to the soundtrack though, absolutely increible.

This game is literally the definition of the, "best worst game." So many people use the phrase wrong. They use it for games with awesome, interesting mechanics. Or games that do everything perfectly except respect your time.

But Shadow the Hedgehog? It does nothing good, like at all. It's over the top edginess is even terribly done, but holy shit does the amalgamation of bad somehow make a fucked up orchestral masterpiece of, "I just have to keep playing."

(I played through the game like 4 times at completely different points in my life and I both do and don't regret it )

Yup. I can't remember anything actually good about it but I completed all the challanges, unlocked all the endings multiple times, etc.

I think this is a game we can truly award "cult classic" status.
