rynlingCan We Talk About Pokémon Legends: Arceus' Shockingly Dark Tone For A Second

Another lady, meanwhile, says she’s heard that there’s no seasoning quite like starvation, and while she says it with a chuckle, I don’t think she’s 100% joking. Certainly not when your private quarters happen to have a sign near your bed to the effect of, “life is hardship but you have to suck it up.” And sure enough, there’s a different old lady who, upon meeting, immediately scolds you and says that the town won’t be feeding any freeloading strangers like you. Lady, I just fell out of the rift in the sky and I have no idea what’s going on but Christ, OK.
I've been reading a bunch of interesting essays about this game, but I still don't think it's for me, at least not right now. I might come back to it in March or April, when I'll hopefully have more time to spend with video games that don't immediately deliver the sort of narrative-driven experience I'm craving at the moment.
