I will also say: this thread, and Ara Kooser’s outstanding breakdown, makes me feel like I didn’t bring 100% to the table this time around. Usually I can read through and figure out games pretty well! And I just didn’t suss any of this out. 

I still don’t think it’s an exceptional game. Dunno that I’d really get much out of it. But there’s more going on than I gave it credit for. 

What scares me about that is that I may have dismissed Mutant: Year Zero in a similar way if it had come across my desk now and if I’d read it with the same eyes. And what a shame that would have been; it’s my  2015 GOTY.

Maybe I’m burned out. Maybe it’s time for a little rest. Maybe my design head and my analysis head are mutually incompatible! My brain is packed to capacity on Misfortune stuff right now. 

Hm hm hm. 

Sure glad I have all y’all around to keep me company.
