  The intro to The Last of Us still gets me.

  And Portal, because GlaDos is one of the funniest characters of all time.

  I had forgotten about Portal. I feel like the sequel definitely grabbed me right away. I was interested to see what had happened since the first game and Wheatley was a funny companion.

  Also, I LOVED Returnal, but I rarely hear people talk about it.

  I won’t go into detail, of course, but the lore is so much deeper than I expected, and very open to interpretation. There’re some very compelling theories out there.

  That’s good to hear. I am looking forward to playing it more. I definitely do feel like it came and went from the news and I don’t really know why. Did Deathloop come out around the same time?

    Deathloop came out a few months after it, I believe.

    I feel like Returnal releasing with the PS5 didn’t do it too many favors, considering how hard it was to get one for a long time, at least for most people.

    Plus, the fact that you couldn’t save the game mid-run for a while (???), and the high difficulty.
