The long-awaited sequel is a bold, defiant game with thrilling encounters and a gorgeous world, but it's also burdened by excess and the weight of expectations

couple thoughts on z-a:
1) bad graphics do not equate to a bag game and complaining about bad graphics does not equate to criticism. dig deeper. i beg you.
2) pokemon is not targeted at 30+ y/o men. it's fine if it doesn't spark the same joy it did when you were 4. its called getting older.

Keeper is one of those reviews that dropped into my lap, didn't know much about it, but then it wowed me
"Double Fine games have always been dense with artistry, but it's Keeper--a game without words--that feels most like it's letting the artistry speak for itself"

Gamers: IS THIS ANOTHER SOULS LIKE???!?
Gamers: IS THIS ANOTHER SOULS LIKE???!?
Some have called Silent Hill f a "soulslike" due to a few similarities to Dark Souls. Is that a fair assessment, though? How much "souls" is in the new Silent Hill, anyway? @gracemachine.bsky.social investigates. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...
Is It Accurate to Call Silent Hill f a "Soulslike"?
Silent Hill f bears some similarities with Dark Souls, but is it constructive to call the survival horror game a "soulslike"?

Black Ops 7 is solid. Guns feel balanced, movement tweaks are smart, and the maps are well designed. A noticeable improvement over MW3 and BO6 multiplayer.
But, like, there’s no way it’s going to pull me away from Battlefield 6.

A lot of people assume that Amsterdam has been biketopia since time immemorial but it actually was car hell for decades before the citizens became fed up with car fatalities and forced the government to rebuild everything around mass transit and bikes. It took time and will, but they did it.
Driving didn’t “naturally” become inevitable. We designed a society that make driving inevitable in most places. We can design something different

It's probably a lil navel gazey but I love seeing how the graphics I made end up getting used. The GS review of Yotei is probably my favourite for this one.
