Bob Richardson's Reviews

Lover of ideas and stories that improve one's life. Thinks games can be art. Enjoys the budding scholarly research being done to illustrate the inherent benefits of gaming. Life is meant to be enjoyed; please be kind to others, especially those different from yourself in thought or person.

Hilariously creative yet will also push the boundaries of what others find palatable.

Folks who enjoy lower-shelf humor will find much to enjoy here. Turn your brain off and you may find some fun to be had.

While I technically enjoyed Hard West 2, the onerous difficulty makes it hard to recommend.

Sep 16, 2022

The systems and inner workings of Foretales create a captivating, addictive experience, but the repetitive nature of character and location cards stymies an otherwise magnificent experience.

A satisfying story with some degree of player agency that is seamlessly well-acted and boasts a unique visual style.

Don't let NORCO be lost to time: this is a must-play for those who don't mind a depressing tale.

I’m sure some folks out there will find the gameplay good enough, but even knowing how fascinating the story is, I wouldn’t have put over twenty hours into this game if I knew at the outset what I know now.
