My increasingly common rebuttal to a lot of media criticism (especially the doom-laden stuff) is simply 'That's not true, you're just depressed'.
Don't write when you're sad. Have a snack, pet a kitten/puppy/other friend-shaped creature, take a walk, and clear your head first.

I see everyone's losing their shit because a game studio has admitted that they use normal technology normally to do normal things

The first big early access update for Project Silverfish just dropped today, too! A bunch of new areas and a total economy and loot rework.
An ambitious but very slick STALKER-like from a near-solo developer. Amazing that it even exists, and even more impressive that it looks and feels great.

My only big post-game-award thought is that while Clair Obscur is obviously an excellent game (cmon, don't do the sour grapes thing, please?), it still doesn't come to mind AT ALL when I think of my favourite RPGs of the year

Really nice to see more people checking out Shadow Labyrinth, probably this year's most underrated metroidvania in a year absolutely JAM PACKED with them.
Literally. The review ratings - professional and otherwise - are terrible, but it's cool!
Also down to $17 and just got a major tune-up update.

This year was so dense with games that I was sure one of my summer favourites actually came out last year.
If you've got a buddy to play with and think that a hybrid of It Takes Two, Puzz-Loop and Splatoon sounds fun, Popucom is just a charmer. Not a huge game, but fun start to finish.
