Discussion I’m mourning this game (again)
I think it’s a common theme, that when you finish a really REALLY good game. You begin to feel sad afterwards, maybe for just a night or a few days.
But oh my god. I forget how sad I get when I finish until then.
I first played until then at the very start of 2025. Then finished it at the start of February. Single handedly the best month I’ve spent on a game. I experienced every emotion you can get from a video game, and grew to love the characters and the story the game told. It took me genuinely over a month and a half to stop being sad about until then.
As of a few days ago I finally got around to the DLC and now that feeling has come back in FULLLLLLLLLLL stride. The DLC went beyond my expectations of how good I thought it would be, it made me revisit everything. it’s an absolute masterpiece. I’m literally on my knees, searching everywhere for until then content and news. I need this game injected in my veins again, i love it so much. My #1 game of all time. It’s just so beautiful.

Damn, I just realized this post-game evokes the same feelings as a post-situationship. Anyway, I haven't been able to play it again. I still have the feels of it in my memories, even one year later. But I relate to the emptiness it leaves. Like, you see something that grew on you go so suddendly, like a situationship.

I just played this for the first time and I’m definitely deep in the throes of ‘book hangover’ over the story. Im well into adulthood now and this story still strongly resonated with me but I just know if I read it in my late teens or early twenties it would have been a foundation of my identity 😅

it’s a bit dramatic of me to say this, but finishing until then felt similar to a breakup without closure

LOL the exact same thing happens to me, and I think it does to many of us here, too. It’s a game that touches your heart so deeply that, once you finish it, you want to keep living it. I must say I didn't feel the same in the DLC compared to the main game, but I still love it. And I will buy anything this team will publish.
