It took an hour to click, and then I could not put it down
It took an hour to click, and then I could not put it down. Our Life: Beginnings & Always leans hard into Cozy, and that is exactly the part that worked for me. On paper it is A twenty-dollar bill, four summers, fifteen years, and a one of a kind life, and for once the game mostly lives up to that. It never wastes your time with filler encounters. Performance was solid on my machine, no crashes across a full playthrough. Easy recommend at full price.

Picked this up on a whim and ended up playing it every evening for two weeks
Picked this up on a whim and ended up playing it every evening for two weeks. Our Life: Beginnings & Always leans hard into Cozy, and that is exactly the part that worked for me. It helps that the premise (A twenty-dollar bill, four summers, fifteen years, and a one of a kind life) actually shows up in the moment-to-moment play. It never wastes your time with filler encounters. It runs well on a mid-range rig, though the later areas get busy. I will be back for another run.

This one kept creeping back into my thoughts during the workday
This one kept creeping back into my thoughts during the workday. Our Life: Beginnings & Always leans hard into Cozy, and that is exactly the part that worked for me. The pitch — A twenty-dollar bill, four summers, fifteen years, and a one of a kind life — is delivered without too much filler. Pacing is generous, checkpoints are fair, and the whole thing respects your time. It runs well on a mid-range rig, though the later areas get busy. Easy recommend at full price.
