For you and other late repliers: there really are people (like me) scanning the answers. I was also late-ish, and still people read it. It's really nice to see the variety of interests people have, even though –understandably– much of it is on the geeky/nerdy side. We do flock together, after all.

You too!
I just have finished playing A Plague Tale: Requiem[1] a few days ago, and I spent the last two days with this strange feeling of sadness, almost grieving. It is such a masterpiece of emotions, the story of the bond of a sister and brother who went through hell to save the boy.
I remember the first game had the same effect when I played it the first time. For days I felt the with a mix of sadness and happiness. The developers have been successful creating such a strong bond to the characters that I felt I am practically there next to them, experiencing the pain and happy moments alike.
I really suggest everyone who has the smallest intention to play games to experience these two masterpieces[2][3]. (You definitely need to play the first game to be able to experience the second to its fullest.)
Since we are on HN, one technical detail that impress me so much the number of unique animations they created to give life to the word around us and to show the bond between the two of them. Like how Amicia waits for Hugo to get down from the ladder every time or how Amicia picks Hugo up multiple times during the storyline to carry him.
Thanks for letting me share this, I hope all of you have a nice day!
