Lumines Arise Review: A Miraculous Follow-Up To The Perfect Game That I Needed Right Now

Hey all you gamers claiming to "want shorter games made by fewer people who are paid more to work less" here's your chance to put your $15 where your mouth is: a spooky & elegiac exploration game made by ex-Bethesda & Ubi devs. It's excellent. Buy it & prove there's a market for games like this!
There'll be a new pinned post this week, but for now: Ambrosia Sky: Act One is *out* now!

I would actually be very curious about how the Grammy people judge a best video game soundtrack. gameinformer.com/2025/11/10/b...

Been playing a bit of Ambrosia Sky the last while. It's a really neat mix of sci-fi exploration and PowerWash Simulator.
I'm not exactly sure what I think of the story yet (a lot of in-media res at the beginning), but the atmosphere and graphic novel art style are gorgeous.

Dragon Quest 1 remake is wild. "Hmm, I'm getting a lot of items to learn new skills, maybe I'll wait until I get a new party member." Friends, there are no party members. It's just you.

I don't think any tickets to the game awards should cost more than a PS5 Pro.
I asked about Game Awards press tickets in October. Got an email yesterday encouraging me to buy my own, as there were no spares.

At this point it's not out of the question that GTA6 might be a next-gen launch game.
