Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered: The Most Enjoyable Bad Game I’ve Ever Played
How can a game be so horrible and contrived, while I still want to 100% it?

What Is the Best Video Game of All Time? And Why Is it Dishonored?
Feel free to have your own opinion, but this is how I see it. The biggest question for me personally is which of the two main games is the better one. They both have their strengths.

Why do they need to be so highly obsfuscated?
