Reviewing games can be kinda weird. When I'm playing stuff for personal reasons, there's no deadline. No definitive date that I have to roll credits or reach 100% completion by. It's just me and the journey. However long that takes.
But I am also employed by one such website called PC Gamer, and sometimes I do have to play games as part of my job. Ones which do come with deadlines. I've just spent the last week of my life devouring as much Crimson Desert as I could feasibly manage alongside boring regular human stuff like cooking and showering and sleeping (blech!). Another few days and I probably would have developed a Scottish accent and started cooking two dozen steaks in anticipation of a looming boss fight.
