So long and thanks for all the fish?

<> Thanks Jeff.

Please God this. Speculation will only create expectations and letdowns. Things will be alright. Breathe.

What's the name of the 'ninjas have penetrated the dome' show?

@sweep: You played Valheim so you've already played the best game of the year. Skip the rest.

Slay the Spire is so terrific. It became my anxiety game for a while. Something to have on that required just enough focus to zone out too.

Still hate that knight boss who heals himself and hits HARD.

What a solid list. It's amazing how similar someone else's tastes can be and then we get to a horror game and I completely wuss out lol

@daavpuke: I just started it last week, I'll hopefully get a day or two to get into beyond the tutorial.

@lively: Reviews take a long time. You gotta play the entire game, usually within a short period of time, write the review, get it edited, edit the review, put it in the CMS, and publish.

A QL can usually be done within a day or two if everything goes alright.

But I do agree that there are a lot of interesting options for what reviews become going forward.

@lively: But if that game changes dramatically after an update within 6 months, is that review still useful? Fortnite just changed its entire map. Halo is split with multiplayer free and the campaign on Game Pass.

From a coverage perspective why spend hours upon hours dissecting a game to give purchasing advice when part of it is free or all of it is available through a pass. That traditional form of review isn't providing the best advice or information to the consumer/player.

I think it's better to take a step back, address the changes, and figure out what best reflects the current state of the industry.
