I mean… That’s valid. A thing can be 10/10 for one person, and a 1/10 for another. That’s why long form reviews are great: you can get a bead on the person giving the review and see if they actually share your taste.
You and i have very different definitions for “valid”. A review based on unrelated things is invalid.

That is a valid review. We’re all inundated with professional review culture where they recommend products to us, but we’ve all forgotten that art is very subjective and very personal. If a work of art just hits you at the right place and right time in your life, it’ll move you in ways that you didn’t know you could be moved. And that is beautiful. Telling your friends about that experience is only natural.
Nobody has ever heard of Jupiter Hell. It’s a rogue lite turn based game based on boomer shooters like Doom and Quake. My brother had a stroke a few years ago and it left him unable to do fast twitch games which he loved. We found Jupiter Hell during that period. And it hit exactly right at exactly right time. I wouldn’t recommend it to most people, and I barely played it myself, but that game is a 10/10 in my book.
Actually I love Jupiter Hell, so there’s at least three of us. I’m glad you guys got some joy out of it
I wouldn’t have thought either Turn-Based Doom or Classic Roguelike, But Oops All Guns would work, but it’s unironically great. It really does feel thematically like Doom, it has a surprising amount of depth and build variety, and it entertained me for far longer than similar games have.
I love that there’s classic 90’s Boomer Shooter protagonist callouts, and that you’re able to customize them to be less cheesy or profane or even disable them entirely. They’re just the right amount of cringe, and they know it’s not for everyone
My first clear I had a chainsaw, super shotgun, and BFG. If that’s not Doom, I don’t know what is
the controls were so shit, it helped distract me from my IRL issues.
8 times out of ten I’m changing the controls to something not shit
(you can like any media for any reason, it doesn’t have to be “good” in any conventional sense or pass any kind of metric or purity test)
Terraria for me.
I’ve tried that game and it just pisses me off. I need to learn how to play and I’m sure I’ll like it but I just get frustrated and turn it off every time.
That’s a shame, I love that game.
Bought it after TotalBiscuit and Jesse Cox did their letsplay… I had to check, 15 fucking years ago, my goodness the time flies.
The game expanded so much since then, too, plus the mods…
Spent hundreds of hours there. Will probably spend even more. And it has great multiplayer.
