OK, I think they’re gone now. It’s just you and me. Thank you for being patient. I gotta say, it’s not a comfortable thing to not write a review of The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. It is my sincere desire to share some of these more clever and insightful moments.

Vielleicht are you now questioning whether I played the game. We assume that the reviewer is familiar with the game and has written a solid opinion about it. To your credit, hypothetical skeptical reader, I could conceivably have notPlayed this game and still written what I’ve written. It’s a valid, if somewhat conspiratorial, concern.

How’s that for transparency? It’s not that I didn’t play The Stanley Parable: Ultra DeluxeSo Could notLeave a review The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. No, no. It’s that I ChooseNot to write a review The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe.

We are now left with the inevitable question: Why did I decide to review in this manner?

Metacritic is going to have nothing to do with it. Does this count as a Positive Review? Are these mixed reviews? Does Metacritic have an “Abstain” option? I don’t know a tremendous amount about SEO, but I imagine this review is very much not optimized, so not even the advertisers are going to be impressed by this. Elden Ring, Elden Ring, Elden Ring. That should be enough, even if Mike decides to publish it, as you all know. I wouldn’t blame him.

OK, if you’ve made it this far, you’ve proven yourself to be a Valued Platinum Reader™. So I’ll level with you: I wrote this review this way because if you are the kind of person who can make it to the end of this and not totally hate the reviewer (me), and furthermore you find that you are the kind of person who is actually kind of entertained by this whole “deconstruction of genre as extended joke” vibe I’m giving off, and even more furthermore you have at least once laughed or drolly smirked while reading this not-review, then you are in fact a person who should play The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. Even if you’ve played the original. Perhaps especially if you’ve played the original.

This is an incredibly long way to say:
