The overall story of GOY is not as good as GOT (still good) but the open world is way more engaging and all the little interactions and tales and stories are so fun and Erika's delivery is a big part of that.

Oh, also I’m so happy that “Atsu” is a real person! She is absolutely breathtaking and was the perfect person to play Atsu.

This was definitely very emotionally difficult to watch the scene of the twin wolfs reunite. I’ve been playing games since i was 5 (since ‘95) and this is my favorite story of all time hands down.

I only played it in Japanese because the English dub sounds like gentrification despite it being played by a Japanese cast. I also played it in Watanabe mode. It makes a hell of a difference.
