Dread Delusion's Clockwork Kingdom segment is some of the best world building and cool idea stuff I've seen in ages. I think about it a lot. Like, weekly since I played it. Haunting and beautiful.

Beat Slitterhead, it’s really amazing. The story is psychotic & the gameplay mirroring the horror as you travel towards the grueling, desperate end was fantastic. Love all the characters/tactics, but all you need is the boxing hobo: Edo.
Made by the creator Silent Hill, Siren, Gravity Rush, btw.

You really shoud play Paradise Killer. An open-world mystery that asks: "What if the eldritch elder god-cult that said they wanted to make paradise actually did?"
Sure, it's fueled by abduction and blood-sacrifice, but the cult hideout is a 24/7 party island pocket-dimension where everyone's hot.

Do you need oxygen? Do you need human interaction? Do you need self actualization? Do you need to play the best video games ever made? Why are you asking this question. Play two of the best games ever made and Call of Pripyat too

The power to imagine a better world is the most powerful force and thusly the power most immediately targeted by authoritarians. You cannot build what you cannot dream, and it was stunning to me that the best big-picture political commentary of this election season was actually found in this game.
Metaphor is my game of the year. i asked director Hashino a very specific question.
He replied, “To be honest, you asked a question that really hits the core. I’ve done many interviews, and I haven’t had a question like this.”

Review | The year’s smartest game asks: Is civil democracy just a fantasy?
“Metaphor: ReFantazio” is the most audacious, exciting video game story of the year as it chronicles the birth of democracy.

It's time for you to experience the THRESHOLD in this short atmospheric horror game with a unique country-based difficulty system.
