@get2sammyb I'd tend to agree to a point. Plenty of aspects of RDR2 were fun for me — and for a game of that length, I'd argue that it has to have at least moments of ludic entertainment to justify its choice of medium. But the best parts had nothing to do with "fun" in a traditional gaming sense. It was all brooding atmosphere and poignant storytelling, not just in cutscenes but during open-world gameplay. It wouldn't even scratch my top 10 most fun games of the year, but it's in my top 5 "best".
I'm just about to splurge on a PS VR, so I'm looking forward to playing Astro Bot. It's already one of my best games of the year from the 15 minutes I played at EGX!

Just FYI, looks like the Coliseum site has now taken down that description. Might be worth grabbing a screen shot if you still have the cache
