What a way to start the year!
Days Gone didn't disappoint. Its setting and mechanics are instantly appealing for post-apocalyptic fans. And some of its design even reminded me of RDR2.
Though some important (and awesome) stuff is bizarrely hidden in the post-credit content.

So basically here's to waiting another 9 years before I get to play one of my most anticipated games of all time 🍻
My last Spooktober game.
Daemonologie has you play as a witchhunter sent to a small village to conduct a short investigation. Frictionless due to its length & simplicity, it's heavily carried by its striking art style, and very easy to recommend if you're into weird stuff.
Been playing Dead Format for the past couple days. Really cool concept where environments are introduced by the VHS tapes you find lying around.
It's got some issues mechanically, but one thing it absolutely nails is atmosphere. Love the analog aesthetic (this is the 1st hub).
Normalise laughing at anyone who gets their gaming stuff for free yet still feels they can criticise those who actually spend their own cash, just because they didn't buy a game they could access via a subscription they're already paying for.
These dudes' opinions are worthless.
Went in looking for weird. Didn't leave disappointed.
Servant of the Lake is a stylish point & click game with remarkable twisted undertones, even if some of its puzzles are infuriating (though it might just be cause I'm too dumb, and believe me there's a case to be made there).
Well deserved. One of the best games of the year.
So @XBOX seemingly wants to change public perception around their brand, yet their highest profile game comes out and they can't even scrape up enough reviews for the score on their own platform to show up.
This is a pathetic look lmao
Full completion, all mementos gathered, all endings unlocked.
What an excellent, *excellent* survival horror metroidvania. Silver Pines wears its inspirations on its sleeve, but does so while still keeping its own identity and standing on its own two feet.
More of this please.
The only problem with Silver Pines is that it's such an obviously night time game that it's hard for me to play it during the day.
But damn it if I'm still not gonna give it my best.
Enjoy your Saturday everyone!
Some studios aren't worth keeping. Some are.
I begrudgingly accepted @XBOX letting go of Undead Labs.
I begrudgingly understand Ninja Theory's situation, though I think they're very talented & would do well if properly managed.
I will not understand shutting down Arkane Lyon.

Never happy to see studios close, but I also think we often get too fixated on studio names rather than individuals.
Not sure if that info is readily available, but I'd be genuinely curious to see how many of the old BioWare still remained at the studio for these past few years.
Using this Spooktober to think about all the horror, horrorish and horror adjacent games I've ever played and these might be my favourites of the bunch
How much?
