Can we ban everyone that claims PoE has good writing already? Maybe kill them with fire as well to take no chances.

Come now, not everyone can have your impeccable taste :lol:.

Man, I barely play video games in general these days, and time-consuming RPGs even less...
But ELEX really intrigues me due to me being a fan of Gothic, and I really want to play Age of Decadence. Also, Kingdom Come.

AoD and Underrail are not to be missed. Both excellent games that restored my joy in CRPGs alltogether.

Oh yeah, Underrail is also on my list of games-that-I-probably-should-play-but-never-do-because-I-don't-really-care-about-video-games-anymore.

Prey: 6/10 -- didn't like story, played only 50% or so.
Tyranny: 7/10
Divinity Original Sin 2: 7.5/10
Divinity Original Sin 1: 5/10 -- was decent at the time, but with DOS2, there's no reason to play this anymore.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: didn't play
The Witcher 3: 4/10 -- not too bad if you install the combat overhaul mod, story still sucks though
Torment: Tides of Numenera: only played for a few hours.
Age of Decadence: 8/10
Underrail: 8/10
Wasteland 2: 6/10

Grimrock I is more limited than II but it's also much more focused. While I really did enjoy LoG II, I felt it lacked a certain foundation that LoG I possessed. Being trapped in a mega dungeon with a small but precise group of clearly defined classes made for a better experience for me at least.

MFGA (Make Fantasy Great Again)
Codex Year of the Donut
ELEX: 1/uninstall
Grimoire: 6.
I'd love to rate it higher but it has a lot of issues.
Tyranny: 2
played for all of two hours
DOS 1: 5 (8 if the whole game was like the starting area).
It's an ok game that I needless to say never finished.
DOS 2: 3.
They somehow made everything worse and less fun.
Witcher 3: 1/gay
Numanuma: 5
Played through on release. Those CYOA sequences were fun and somewhat competently written.
AoD: 2
This CYOA was decidedly less fun. I wouldn't mind figuring out the brutal combat but not if there is no game to speak of.
Pillars: 5.
I had some fun building different parties but that's where the game's strong points end.
