    This takes me back to when I was a kid. Oh man do I love text based games. There's nothing like your imagination making what you see based off what is told to you in the wording. I just got this today but I guarantee I play this over and over and over. It's nice to have 6 stories in here though! I wish they had DLCs with more though! I can't ever get enough of games like this! To those who are looking at this, I have to say, these games are fun but don't expect pictures or fancy graphics. They are a lot of fun, they make you think, and it's just amazing to play! I do recommend anyone give it a go but your tastes may vary here! These types of games may not be for everyone! But for me because of what it is 5/5!

    Games like Black Myth Wukong have to replace the fight, not the setting: the deflect window, the transformations, the one-more-try pull. These do, from Ashina to Tsushima.

    Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

    Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.
