GameSpot talked with the R6 Siege team for the 10th anniv. of the game, looking back at its biggest moments and how its managed to stick around. A lot of hard work from the team on this one (@jacobdekk.bsky.social, @rinhara5aki.bsky.social, @mathewpaget.bsky.social).

Goodnight Universe Review: Among the Stars | Restart Goodnight Universe's strong blend of webcam tricks and powerful storytelling help craft a short-but-sweet adventure.

I finally got around to writing about Goodnight Universe. I talk about growing up, minimizing myself in familial spaces, and how sometimes you feel like by being quiet, you can help plug the cracks in the foundation

Rue Valley Review Rue Valley is a fascinating time loop game with intriguing systems that starts off strong, but throws everything away in its final hours.

"I was deeply invested in the overarching intrigue of a mysterious driver, a time loop, and the massive web of family dynamics and small town intentions..."

"Unfortunately, the final few hours of Rue Valley completely threw away the choices and characters that I had spent so much time mulling over"

Coming from the GOAT this means a lot, thank you!

Videogames Are a “Natural Goldmine” in Film Industry’s Hunt for the Next Great IP "What we're seeing in games now are really sophisticated narrative designs," says actress Jane Perry. "The same ingredients that would make a great film or TV series."

Why is Hollywood suddenly so obsessed with mining videogames for ideas, and more importantly, making sure they get it right?

We get some industry perspectives, including BAFTA Award-winning actress of film, TV, and games Jane Perry (Hitman, Returnal)

Forestrike Review A well-crafted, difficult, but rewarding brawler, Forestrike will teach you to trust the process.

Infuriating, disappointing, exhilarating, and richly satisfying, @superdonk.bsky.social learned to trust the process while playing the martial arts roguelite game, Forestrike.

And may it stay miles away from any rails for the rest of its run 🫡

This op-ed from Maddie, who was extremely ready to die dramatically on this hill, has so many good bits in it, not least of which is the idea that we've largely lost our ability to find joy in imperfect games.

Also the idea that hobbits are supposed to be kinda gross and weird and a bit boring

Baby Steps Review At the heart of Baby Steps is an invisible, but unrelenting plea for us to breathe, slow down, and take in every moment, step by step.

"I did not expect the garish walking simulator from the brain behind QWOP and Getting Over It to place a mirror in front of me that would help examine my isolationist tendencies, but thank god it did."

The Big Difference Between 007 First Light and Hitman? Bond Has Friends Human connection and interaction is the newest foray for Hitman developer IO Interactive as it explores what it means to be James Bond.

Given that they share the same developer, you'd think that 007 First Light would basically just be Hitman with hair.

But the big thing @superdonk.bsky.social took away from this first glimpse: IO Interactive know Bond needs friends.

(Sorry, 47)

EA's Skate Reboot Is Disappointingly Corporate (but the Skating Is Great) The Skate reboot feels at odds how the series has historically represented itself, but the actual skateboarding is the best it's ever felt.

Our resident cool guy @superdonk.bsky.social has spent a good amount of time in EA's live-service Skate reboot.

Sounds like it's in top shape mechanically, but the weirdly soulless wrapper sits at odds with the traditional vibes of the series (and culture).

Everyone talks about the Star Wars 1313 cancellation. No one talks about how LucasArts put out this teaser, and then left it to die in the annals of YouTube. Sort of fitting I guess. youtu.be/a1hHT8968Io?...
