I think it's an amazing system that does exactly what it needs to do and excels at it.I started playing games in the Atari 2600 era, and this is my favorite console of all time. It's not even close. I...

I rarely play anything but normal/default. I'm long past the time when I cared about being hardcore about difficulty. I'm in this for fun, not frustration. Besides, almost no game gets more creative w...

Stellaris and Rimworld are always on my Macbook even if I don't have the time to play them much any more. I have so many wonderful memories of playthroughs that deleting them seems like killing a par...

I've been kind of obsessed with Dunidle, a dungeon crawling idle game with item and skill management and a ton of systems. The developer is active on his discord and responsive to bug reports and othe...

A lot of what I'm going to say is basic literary theory, but I think it's important that people understand what makes a good story. It isn't complex philosophical themes or convoluted plotlines. Good ...

I think the joycon d pad is fine for most things, and I tend to use it rather than the analog stick for 2d movement. I don't understand the oversized hate it gets.I did purchase a Zelda themed left jo...

It's hard to argue with this list, especially #5. Games need to tell the player what they need to do and how to do it. Secrets and obscure tricks are fine as bonuses for exploration and experimentati...
