[This text contains no spoilers  regarding the story of Red Dead Redemption II. It's just that this blog has fallen silent, and I need to explain why.] I got off to a great start with A Mouthful of Games , posting a prologue and seven reviews over the course of nine days. Another nine days passed, and I managed to finish and review the mediocre Beyond: Two Souls . I established a rhythm of posting I was satisfied with, and felt confident I was gonna be able to keep it up. Games were fun to play again, and the words to describe them were flowing. The future was looking bright. Then Red Dead Redemption II happened. Everything came to a sudden halt. "For this, I am sorry", as Dutch Van Der Linde would have put it, but I am simply flabbergasted over the quality of this open world-western adventure.

Hello, and welcome to my blog! I'll make it as brief as possible: A Mouthful of Games is a blog about video games. Here I intend to review every game I play, as well as write about games in general and what they mean to me. Yup, this time it's personal. Over the course of 30+ years, I've discovered, abandoned and rediscovered games time and time again. It's an endless loop. They've inspired, agonized, uplifted, infuriated, consoled, oppressed, and relieved me. Above all, I realise they have sheltered me from everything mundane. When they're good, games contain an emotional immediacy I've yet to encounter in almost any other sort of popular culture. You can go from utter despair to silly, ecstatic joy in a matter of minutes or even seconds. Want to check the full range of your emotions? Play the right video game, man.
