About time. I hope this means that they'll start to consolidate PSN releases too. Not knowing when or if something is coming to PSN Europe has been infuriating.
One game that has been successful at getting a very specific sort of emotional response from me is Kentucky Route Zero.
I have these not-exactly-recurring dreams. They're not recurring because they're actually different every time. The problem is always that I'm trying to travel somewhere. Often by train because that's my main mode of transport in life, but also buses, planes have featured. Along the way I get delayed and sidetracked and the route gets increasingly complex, always in different ways, and only very rarely do I actually make it before waking up.
Kentucky Route Zero is uncanny in the way it manages to capture the ins and outs of those dreams - things that change depending on the direction you are moving, people appearing or disappearing when you turn around. The endless complications and diversions on the way to route zero, and the mundane mixed with much weirder stuff. The whole aesthetic of that game, as well as the way you are rarely feel in control of what's happening, even though the game appears to give you agency I find takes me right back to those dreams.
For a while it has made me want to make a game specifically set in one of my travel dreams that gets to the same feeling, but KR0 does it so well already that I'm worried to embark on such a project.
