It's weird when people complain about backtracking in the Metroid Prime games. Backtracking is just an integral part of Metroid design and the games would really lose a lot of their charm for me if ...

I have to say that trailer is pretty damn good for a 90's game. I see now why people were excited for this. Too bad the real thing couldn't live up to it.

Bastion. I have the game on Steam and I've started it a couple times but despite loving the art style and the voiceover, I didn't like the way the combat felt so I dropped it. The soundtrack, howeve...

This is the first game on your list IMO that could be the greatest game of all time from my perspective. It at least gets a spot in my personal top ten. It's interesting that you list "slow start" a...

I played an hour or so of OlliOlliWorld. It is chill and feels good to play. Looks to be my next podcast-listening game.

I don't think this is really about "accessibility" as I usually hear the term. Accessibility usually refers to tricks that allow anyone to enjoy the game, eg, having color schemes that work for colorb...

Brad has weird opinions on games. N64 was anything but disappointing. It's actually my favorite console to this day. I mean who wasn't blown away by Mario 64? Arguably the greatest launch game of all ...

Voted N64. SNES had a bigger library of good games, but N64 had 10 or so amazing games that defined 3D gaming for the next 20+ years. Playing Elden Ring now and I can't help but notice how similar the...

Well, I finally decided to pick this up, after having written it off since I didn't have a great experience with Bloodbourne. Hearing all the comparisons to BOTW made me want to try it in spite of m...

Floaty jumps in platformers. I like it nice and snappy.

The Death of Stalin - 8/10A great satire. It walks a very thin tightrope between comedy and drama and pulls it off well. In the midst of tragedy there is a place for black humor. Steve Buscemi as Khru...

Ah yes, the Mohammad bin Salman Charity Foundation. They do such great work. I'd love to hear what portion of the aid goes to Jamal Khashoggi's family.

This also leads to the question of... how should we make point-and-click adventure games in 2022? Those 90's games were a lot of fun, but I don't think I would have the patience for them now. Too man...

Hoping this is good. The Tales series was pretty bad. (In the first episode you pick up a tube that's bent into a U. It's called a U-tube. ...Hah.) I never played Thimbleweed Park, but I played Gilb...

@ll_exile_ll: That makes Elden Ring sound great. I've avoided it because of the notorious difficulty of these games and the frustration I've had getting into Bloodbourne. I'm not used to the long win...

Eh it's fine. It just means Nintendo will have more time. I'm not a game developer, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the best things come in toward the end. My guess is that some of the team...

If you want to grind out lots of levels with a simple but engaging battle system with flexible character options, while enjoying a very basic but still-charming story, go with V.If you want to be enga...

I also really hate level scaling. It just makes everything less rewarding unless it's so subtle you never notice it. I remember in Skyrim facing my first Dragon and taking it down in about a minute. W...

@sometingbanuble: Sounds like you mean Outer Worlds. I also first read @banefirelord's post as being about Outer Wilds and I was really dismayed for a second. I can see not liking Outer Wilds, if it...
