Here's why Inscryption is a good game (ponder.cat)

I can't really explain that much without spoiling stuff about the game that really should not be spoiled. It's honestly a very, very unique game which if nothing else does makes it worth a look if you're okay with horror-type games. All I will say is:

  • I was about to fire it up today, and I decided that probably the avenue I had gotten myself to isn't the most productive way forward. I dithered a little bit and then decided to hit "New Game" (which is an option that isn't even available when the game starts) and take my chances with what would happen, banking that it would let me strategize things a little bit better.
  • WHAT THE FUCK, THE "NEW GAME" BUTTON I WORKED SO HARD FOR IS GONE AGAIN NOW
  • I get it why it's gone. Guess I'm "continue"ing and finding out what comes next lol
  • This is a good game

I only played through the first stage of the game before putting it aside. Thanks for reminding me that I ought to pick it up again and continue.

(Nitpick: Unique doesn't have degrees. A thing can be very, very unusual, or it can be unique if nothing else like it exists.)

Americans often incorrectly ascribe degrees to "unique." At this point it's so baked into all of their dialects that it's hard for me to keep calling it wrong.

TIL.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/unique definition 3 includes examples like "very unique" and "fairly unique." So it's incorrect only if you assume that American usage is wrong and British usage is right, I guess. According to the Cambridge Dictionary I think you are right about how it's used in British English.
