We are never going to find out what was in that bloody tie breaker envelope, the mystery continues!

@demigodraven: probably the best weapon in all of gaming, then they put a grappling hook on it and it sets the enemy on fire! Bliss.

I absolutely love the game, it has one of the best flow states I have ever felt in a game. However it also suffers so badly when that flow state falters that its jarring and horrible. Is that a fault of the game or of the high-highs it reaches? I'm still not sure, doing more to assist this could break what is already there.

Its going to divide opinion because it forces you to play in a certain way, it is not a traditional FPS because you must respect its combat chess rules or you will fail. These rules are what creates the flow from enemy to enemy, the split-second decision making just to stay alive, but they are still massive constraints on how you play the game. You can't just run through entirely with a certain weapon you enjoy, each weapon is a counter to a specific enemy.

Learning these rules also makes the first few hours of the game hell (no pun intended)

Really interested to try the new crosshair out, there are so many things to juggle that an on screen prompt could really help me out

Ive been through a herniated disc, it not fun. Best wishes Vinny.

Mr Oiseau is pronounced a bit like 'wazo' and its definitely like his music!

Thanks for writing this.

Spiritfarer is such an important game for this year, while I have thankfully not suffered loss, its helped me come to terms with the scale of loss to our society. The stories it has to tell have left a real lasting impact on me, especially Stanley and Alice.

The whole best soundtrack category has been broken for me since Journey didn't win.

I don't recommend looking up the thumbnails that were offscreen

Unless you are a furry I guess

For some reason I thought this was going to be this

I would be really interested to hear yours or others takes on why that character was badly handled or badly written. I thought it was incredibly touching, maybe my emotions blinded me to something bad.

Edit- actually I think I can see why it could be seen as bad when I replay it in my head, the final 'journey' was non-consensual. The ethics are a bit different to me because the everdoor isn't specifically codified as euthanasia or death, but it is passing on from that world. Thanks for making me think about it!
