  • Just finished Full Void, a pixel graphics cinematic puzzle platformer in the style of Another World. Cool original soundtrack, nice style and animation, great atmosphere and world building despite no words.

    2 hours long main story, cool indie project with great attention to detail. Well worth the money.

    If you play it you will be surprised who it is dedicated to, as you can read at the end of the game.





  • I stay away from driving simulators mostly because I hate cars in general, unless it’s Quarantine or Carmageddon.

    Making something VR compatible games pushes towards certain design choices that empoverish the desktop experience.

    I have heard great things of Senua’s Sacrifice, but I downprioritized it for years now exactly due to that design aspect.


  • The problem is the kind of stuff the industry tries to take shortcuts on.

    I decided to apply some filters in my choices and quality of entertainment went up by a lot:

    1. No Open World
    2. No Multiplayer-focused
    3. Has to be a valuable experience on Easy
    4. (Of course) no prepaid and no Early Access
    5. No VR-compatible

    Other than that, I am a patient gamer, I play all kinds of genres, just a bit less on the RPG and strategy side, and I like to support Indie developers by paying their games full price and kickstarting them.

    I am ok with playing short games if the experience and polish is there and I never do completions. I also buy very few DLCs and only if they add single player campaigns.

    Do this and I am quite sure you will fall in love with gaming again.

    Reading the comments I tend to think that people are so unfamiliar with competition that they fail to recognize it when seeing it at work: if you have competition, stuff fails and dies. This idea that everything should survive and that I as the user should be the receptacle of thousands of shitty products preaching variety as an excuse for their existence is insane. Launchers existed, could have used IP as an advantage to develop a valid product instead failed and therefore will disappear. I still use GOG Galaxy no problem alongside Steam.
